Movie Summary  Short: The Days Of Our Years:  A morose reverend haunts a small town and describes in graphic detail the horrible effect of carelessness.  Movie: The Amazing Transparent Man:  It's unclear what this movie is about, but these are some of the elements of the Movie: 1.   A convicted felon, Faust, breaks out of jail. 2.   Faust has a girlfriend. 3.   There's a guy who lives in a large house in Texas. 4.   That guy is holding a scientist hostage by holding the scientist's daughter hostage. 5.   The scientist has developed a means of making people invisible... 5a. Oh, by the way, he toys with atomic bomb stuff too. 6.   The girlfriend takes Faust to the house. 7.   The guy makes a deal with Faust (see? get it?) to get invisible, go rob banks, and they'll split the money, or else he'll turn him into the proper authorities. 8.   The whole place blows up in a minor atomic explosion. — Mary Jo Pehl Host Segments  Prologue:  Crow becomes Servo's science project, trapped in a big jar with holes poked in the lid.  Segment 1:  In Deep 13, Forrester and Auntie McFrank have opened a bed-and-breakfast, with patrons Ted and Barb (Kevin Murphy and Mary Jo Pehl), and they force Mike, Crow and Servo to provide some local color which quickly turns spooky.  Segment 2:  Crow forgets to use gentle pressure while Servo is welding and ignites.  Segment 3:  Frank finally gets a day off and decides to go see a movie. He's been dying to see Squanto, A Warrior's Tale, but Dr. F squashes his dream.  Segment 4:  Mike shows Crow and Servo his Lowry 2000 electronic organ and revels in his own private Rick Wakeman impersonation.  Segment 5:  Crow, Mike, and Servo ask each other, "What would you do?" In Deep 13, Frank and Forrester enjoy some apple pan dowdy when Auntie McFrank is again reminded he didn't get to see Squanto.  Stinger:  Doctors recommend transparency. Reflections We had had many a discussion about writing our shorts too dark. There was a definite darkness that emerged when we wrote shorts, but this short provided so much darkness for us, we couldn't help it. Really. — Mary Jo Pehl Generally, Frank Conniff was always reticent about dressing in drag. We asked him to don a Spanish señorita costume once; nothin' doin'. But when we asked him to dress as the elderly Auntie McFrank, he jumped at the chance. I guess old matrons tap into some resonant Jungian archetype with Frank, or he has a secret life we don't want to know anything about. — Kevin Murphy
