    MIND BLOWN.

     

    That whole plot/scene of him in Morocco felt so out of place and unneeded. This movie is so fucking long as it is, did we really need that too?!

     

    I believe the whole point of the Morocco scene was to show that Travolta was so upset about his story being re-written that he would immediately abandon the new story he was working on and jump back on a plane to do something about it even though he was half way around the world.

    A++++ episode. One omission though. They went deep into the writeup of Linda's gangbang. But there was no talk of the information gathering. To write that story Travolta was either standing outside the van watching with his notebook, or Linda came back in and gave him a detailed description. In either case W...T...F?

     

     

    I thought Carly Simon carrying that bloody mary was a real Chekov's Gun situation. I am glad they paid that off so quickly.

     

     

    There was one line that almost made watching the longest movie of all time worth it. "I don't forgive anyone for shitting on California!" That was delivered by Blonde Moustache when the Sports Connection Gang was throwing Travolta out of the charity aerobics event.

    Putting in a correction for this movie feels crazy. But the castle they were in was not Skeletor's castle. That was Grayskull which he had just captured from the Sorceress. They called his place Snake Mountain (not appearing in this film).

     

    So the terrible safety hazard of no railings is put squarely on the Sorceress.

    When Kevin was introduced I assumed he was going to be a minor character soon gone from the movie. He went on to have more scenes than anyone in the movie.

     

    I loved that when Skeletor was using the giant hologram to communicate with all the people of Eternia the shot was always just him talking to four dudes spread out over that shitty landscape.

     

    I really didn't appreciate Evil-lyn throwing shade on all the people of Earth (fools, weak and easily controlled) just because she was able to trick Courtney Cox with the dead mom illusion. Sample of one, Evil-lyn.

    I think there is potentially a fun film here if you just make the main characters people who aren't dummies trapped at a truck stop. Let's see the people who figure out what's going on, find the UFO, get politicians to work with the Russians, etc. That seems like a much more interesting film.

     

    Edit: Whoops I lost the quoting of the above text.

     

    Yes the ending text of this movie could have been changed to read: "You, the idiot viewer, just got duped into spending an hour and a half following these dummies. The actual heroes of the movie never appeared on screen and were 9,000 miles away also dealing with killer machines while simultaneously defeating the alien threat."

    Great episode. I thought the gang hit most of the insane things in this movie.

     

    I thought the weirdest choice in the movie was when Emilio Estevez was absolutely giddy when the power got turned back on so they could fuel up the trucks. "I just hope none of them left the house without their American Express card!"

     

    My favorite dumb bit in the movie was the toilet paper truck that got blown up appeared to be transporting thousands of loose rolls of toilet paper. As you do.

    I love Derek Waters. I got to talk to him a bit when they did the bar tour for season one of Drunk History and he could not have been a nicer guy. Watching Drunk History makes my heart grow three sizes towards everyone involved.

     

    I just hope this terrible feud between Derek and Howard can be resolved before one of them (or all of us?) gets hurt.

    At the paint-by-numbers hate rally ("WE ARE WHITE! WE DON'T LIKE MINORITIES!"), we are introduced to the vest-wearing, second-in-command white supremacist with the giant mane of hair. He is in plenty of other scenes, always wearing a vest. Was anyone distracted by how much he looks like Kevin Kline? I was referred to him Ku Klux Kline throughout the entire movie.

     

    I kept thinking he looked like Paul Rudd.

    I feel like every single choice the filmmakers made could (and should) be questioned. So just picking one.

     

    I thought the premise of the meet cute between Chuck Norris and Reno in Callahan's office was insane. Reno is smarter than every person in this movie and is a hero so many times over that pulling a baby out of a burning building is not even a big deal. Not only would Reno be famous at the police department Reno would be more famous in San Diego than Tony Gwynn. But Chuck Norris has never heard of him.

     

    Side note: I thought it was odd that screenwriter Ron Swanson had characters with the name Swanson in the movie.

    Here is an actual dumb plot omission. I couldn't tell if the entire roomba car chase sequence was supposed to be some crazy gambit to make Kirstie Alley give up the templates. But when she does they are just in the side pocket of her purse. Which Ramsay was combing through while she was being debugged! He just didn't bother to check the side pocket?

    I am looking for some backup on this. When they are in the helicopter heading to take care of the farm bot Thompson (Penny) asks Ramsay if the robot has any armaments. He says just the claw. Then they have this exchange:

     

    Ramsay: "They only go after things smaller than an inch."

    *oddly long pause*

    Thompson: "Could be a problem."

     

    She was totally making a joke about his dick, right?

    Omission

     

    No mention in the podcast of how even the heroes of this movie (minus Jupiter) seem to be totally on board with the idea of planet scale genocide to produce the fountain of youth serum. Even if they don't explicitly support it nobody says a word against it until Jupiter comes along. Stinger sold them out to get money for the serum for his daughter (who had a mild cough). The space cops definitely didn't appear to be cracking down on it.

     

    Lesser omission

     

    What did the word royalty even mean in this movie? It seemed like the Abrasax family was just ludicrously rich. But they were still bound by the ridiculous bureaucracy. They didn't seem to be at the top of any form of government. And the ineffective space cops tried to give the Abrasax orders but they were just ignored since they were outgunned. The "your majesty" part just felt silly. It would be like if in the US we started calling Bill Gates your majesty.
