My apologies for double posting, I should have done a search first. Consider this a humble bump.

With added Dick:

Starring Gene Hackman and Dan Akroyd, here is the plot: A film is found that features young German officer Kirk Von Metz (Robert Prosky) sleeping with Adolf Hitler. Years later, Von Metz is running for chancellor of West Germany and arranges for the murder of anyone who has seen the film. The killings take place in the Washington D.C. area, and police officers MacArthur Stern (Gene Hackman) and Ellis Fielding (Dan Aykroyd) are sent to investigate the crimes. Ellis suffers from a multiple personality disorder, which is aggravated when he is confronted with violence. This results in several episodes where he blacks out and assumes the personalities of popular culture characters, including Popeye, Captain Kirk, and the Road Runner. Andy Dick appears on some of the posters even though he was not in the film. Apparently at the time he was "getting a lot of work in print ads" whatever that means. Also of note: In May 2013, an employee at the Calgary, Alberta landfill discovered some film negative in the mounds of trash. He looked closer, and found images of a man kneeling over a gruesome murder victim. Thinking it could be a snuff film, or evidence in a crime, he submitted the negatives to the Calgary Police Services. After a short investigation, they recognized Dan Aykroyd, and contacted his agent for information, finally concluding that it was simply a discarded negative of Loose Cannons. The investigation was immediately closed, and everyone had a good laugh. Aykroyd jokingly told TMZ: "The movie should have been left in the landfill where it belongs."

True story.

How was this not used?!

I'm amazed that Reggie was able to come up with the CBB theme on the spot. And its the one they used on the TV show! Why hire a theme composer when Reggie can bang out a perfect one in 30 seconds. I agree with everyone here, this was a great ep. Still can't tell who does a better Huell Howser, James Adomian or Dana Gould. If you dig the whole Huell parody thing Gould does a rifftrax-esque full-length commentary for "Showgirls" with Adam Carolla that is up somewhere on the internet. His Huell is less insane and more of a sexual deviant/murderer... the range this one man inspired.

I think the fact that so many people had problems with this ep proves that the weird attitudes Tim and Eric often chain themselves to didn't result in a great ep. Those guys are very funny, but this one didn't work out as well it would have if they'd have broken away from their own characters and attempted to go with this show's flow. Their dumb, ugly or awkward nightmare aesthetic is something they have no doubt mastered but probably works better in short doses than it does in the long hour+ form of podcasting. I do think the 102 Tim ep works better as a concept, and like this ep Tim is basically playing a character himself the entire time. But once again he constantly goes for creating an awkward moment than for actually saying something funny. He is great at both, I just wish he'd give us more of the later.

I thought so too. I also agree the PSH impression kinda fell of the rails when he yelled. Still this episode really came into its own in the last 20 minutes or so. I've only heard about 1/3 of the CBB eps, but this was by far the darkest direction I've seen the show take. Sometimes it takes everyone a while to figure out what's working and what isn't and who knew all it took was slavery and cum to turn the ep around! I also liked the darker Scott we got here.
