OH MY GAWD GUYS. First of all let me say I THOUGHT this was The Rocketeer. It was a full 25 minutes in before I thinking, "I though Jennifer Connolly was in this?" This one was the worst. I know that may sound hyperbolic, bus as I have to speak subjectively here, the movie has had the WORST effects on my life since watching it just to listen to this podcast. My wife started getting angry within the first 10 minutes of me putting it on, and I have since come to learn all the ways that this movie may have permanently damaged our relationship. Even trying to joke about how bad it was in the ensuing days post-viewing has elicited increasingly bitter, hostile glares. You guys, she was so pissed about me making her watch that movie, even hearing people joke about how awful it was on the podcast pissed her off because, as she says, it makes her think about that movie again. I've been with this woman for almost 20 years and our love for each other has endured through a lot and even though I've spent over a decade softening her up to the idea of watching 'bad' movie for their 'entertainment value', this movie has undone years of MST3K and LaffTrax conditioning. I think our relationship will survive, but I think I'm going have to give up on getting her to watch the four original Planet of the Apes sequels. HDTGM has now been relegated to a 'headphones' only zone in my house for the time being.

This was so bad, my wife suggested it for "that podcast you make me listen to about bad movies." That is one hell of an endorsement for this show. Our relationship has been shaky ever since I made her watch Rhinestone and then relive it by listening to the podcast. She considers it double torture. I couldn't stop shaking my head during this movie.

Ooooohhhhh! Thanks....I never go to the mainpage! LOL

I guess I missed it, but when I heard Scott mention the countdown show next week, it dawned on me I never saw the list of clips to vote on.... did I miss it? Thanks.

Dozens!

Hee hee, water and battery juice is yucky. Is my mouth melthuugh ughhhh aaalllllghhhhhh?

This ep made me remember this commercial from late night TV in 1986. https://youtu.be/hlXGYPBvHoQ

I hate U2 and can't stand their music, but I never miss this encyclopedic recounting of everything U2. (Bonus.... reading all the iTunes comments from U2 fans who have written tomes on how Scott and Scott make a lot of stupid jokes and hate this show while listening to this show made it hard to breathe, I was laughing so hard.)

The people who "show" to talk interesting!

I agree. Listening to this last episode and the gang gushing on how much they loved it, there was really no question of how those movies get made.... its called "lowest common denominator" and it makes millions and millions of dollars.

How did it get made? Because of millions and millions of dollars to be made. I'm glad so many people like the franchise, but there really was no question of "How it got made" based on the receipts. I'm glad to get back to moves that deserve the question and my time.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435705/ My wife has quite the knack for finding the worst movies on Netflix.... last night I came in to find her watching "Next" with Nick Cage. Uhhhhhhh...... whuh????????next Perfect movie for HDTGM

I just re-watched this movie after not having even thought about it in more than 25 years! OMG!!!!! There is even a case for a whole Jacob's Ladder-like scenario for the ending. C'mon guys, this is the perfect movie for HDTGM! Much better than the whole "FAST&Fuckall" franchise!

I came across the file where I'd isolated and saved Paul F. Thompkins as Alan Thicke and Scott Aukerman singing the theme to "Diff'Rent Strokes on Comedy Bang Bang in 2014. I contemplated recreating the original opening using footage I could track down of PFT and SA, but instead of wasting my entire day with that, I chose instead to simply lay the audio on top of the video of the original and was pretty impressed at how much it lines up. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McFgGlFnvhg

My first thought was not that they'd bring in the Duke boys, with Chewie and Han, that'd be waaaay too much macheezmo; but instead, CBS would cross-promote by putting Roscoe and Enos as imperial commanders.

So, although I remember watching it as a kid, I was floored by how long it was and how much it was basically about wookies watching TV. It really was amazing to watch. I kind of wish my version had the original commercials, because we could have used the breaks along the way. We had to stop it half-way through, smoke cigarettes, take shots, hit the bong, and shoot heroin in order to make it through the second half. Did you notice how the stars from Star Wars were all wearing EXACTLY the same outfits as their action figures? I figured they had to appear in the TV special under contractual obligations to help sell toys at christmas. My version included several minutes of the original Empire Strikes Back Commercials and all the toy commercials. As a kid, I loved Harvey Korman on the Carol Burnett Show, but I had no idea who Diane Carrol, Art Carney, Bea Arthur, or Jefferson Starship were. I remember that it was normal for stars would have variety specials just like that all the time. If it did well, they'd develop a show for them, so it did seem like they could have been setting up a Star Wars Wookie TV show. As campy as it was, it was typical campiness for CBS audiences. Even the opening was typical formula for those kinds of shows: "Welcome to the _________ Variety Special, with Special Guests, Lyle Wagoner, funny man Harvey Korman, etc...... brought to you by Prell--You get your hair cleaner with Prell; and, Crest--Get your teeth cleaner with Crest; and, Archers-Daniels-Midland. " The cooking show.... the whole thing is a build up to the multi-arm joke. WTF??? We had a watch-party for this and everyone has continued to chant "Stir, whip, stir, whip. Whip, whip, stir." when they cook. I'm in my 40s, but when Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia started singing, I went faint for a second. My knees buckled and my eyes rolled back. I could NOT process what was happening! It was a little like finding out the Star Trek theme had lyrics... but his is so, so much worse. CORRECTION: Mork and Mindy had just premiered that fall, but it was on ABC. Back in the days of 3 networks, they wouldn't have been so apt to trade their network's branded stars as easily. We should consider ourselves lucky that CBS didn't try to tie-in more stars from other CBS shows. Could you imagine the guys from the Dukes of Hazard showing up in cross promotion? Although thinking about it, Linda Lavin would probably have done a better singing number. Thanks for doing it on HDTGM.

Stir, whip, stir, whip, whip, whip, stir. EVERYBODY NOW! Hey guys! I finally sorted out my login problems and got onto the forum! I'm so excited for this week's episode because we just had a watch-party for the ST Holiday Special just before the premier of SW:TFA! It was a hard slog, but we made it through. When Princess Leia started singing at the end, I thought I was going to pass out.... I literally went faint for a few seconds and my knees started to give out. It was waaaay too much.
