No Simpsons clip, but in honor of the late Terry Jones let's have a look at Monty Python's parody of Sam Peckinpah.

Comedy Death Ray's the name, changin' names is the game

My followers have left me no choice so, without time to spare, I'm officially launching my asshole directly into the sun!

I chose this name in homage to the classic Treat Williams/Joe Piscopo buddy-cop film "Dead Heat", my #1 hope for HDTGM to cover.

Yes!!! I was confused why with all the Master of Disguise songs they went with the Fun for the opening song. The music seemed very odd and off putting. It was all over the place and didn't match the tone of the scenes a lot of times. They also replayed several songs with different people singing them. It was very disjointed.

Or....this is a meta commentary on the inscrutability of this movie. The book is intended for viewers of Master of Disguise, the film we are watching. This movie happened to us, we are the "dummies". Half the book deals with the Magic vs. Acting? debate, and there is an entire chapter devoted to Bo Derek entitled "James Brolin's Vagina".

This movie was at least on the short side which made it relatively painless to watch. I didn't find it funny but there've been plenty of other movies for this podcast that were more of a chore to get through. I've been hung up on one particular detail in the film, which I noticed during the film's master of disguise training montage. Pistachio is seen reading "The Master of Disguise for Dummies." Of course, the For Dummies series is very well-known and widely available, which raises the question of why such a book would exist if being a master of disguise is supposedly a hereditary secret. Presumably, the intention of such a book would be to allow anyone who read it to be able to become a master of disguise, regardless of lineage, and it would mean that the Disguiseys' talent really isn't that special or unique to them, which would undermine the film's premise. In this universe, this book shouldn't exist, and the only justification consistent with the film's plot for such a book existing would be that someone in the Disguisey family made their own "for dummies" book and infringed upon that trademark (oh dear.)
