The Episode
Host Segments

Segment One (Invention Exchange): Down in Deep 13 with Dr. F away at a class reunion Frank is flying solo and comes up with Virtual Comedy. Dr. F returns in time to inject a bit of realism to Frank's virtual stand-up gig, where the SOL crew present microscope slide Micro-Golf.
Segment Two: Tom's jazzy "Secret Agent Super Dragon" theme certainly isn't commerical and is mildly repetitive, but Joel knows just how to spice it up.

Segment Four: Joel & the Bots discuss the vital nature of spy-movie post-kill puns.
Segment Five: Dr. Forrester has a supervillain conference call with the Satellite of Love, teaching the basics of starting up your own supervillain franchise.
