The Movie

Synopsis

A propaganda film intended to highlight the growing problem of juvenile crime. Jane (England), present during a robbery, is falsely convicted of being an accessory. While being taken with her companion, Terry (McCart), to an industrial school on the week of Thanksgiving, Terry's boyfriend springs them both. With the police hot on their tail, they take over a farmhouse and terrorize the family within while waiting for a co-conspirator to arrive with money and transport. [1]

Information

The Episode

Host Segments

Prologue: Mike and the Bots are preparing another escape attempt, while Mike wants to keep things low key, the Bots insist on running through all the required WWII POW escape movie cliches.

Segment One (Invention Exchange): Mike continues to try and keep their escape attempt quiet, while down in Deep 13 Dr. F has come up with mace mousse and takes great delight in using Satan's Jockstrap repeatedly on TV's Frank. The SOL crew's liquid rocket pack escape attempt fails due to the fact the LOX tank was filled with the brined samon Lox and not Liquid Oxygen. Crow doesn't get why this should make a difference.

Segment Two: Inspired by the movie, Mike and Bots pay tribute to the important role Doughy Guys played in history.

Segment Three: Mike and the Bots create the first deli in space, S.o.l's!

Segment Four: Crow sings the "Mystos!" song while Mike, Tom, and Gypsy act out Mentos-esque vignettes

Closing (Segment Five): While Mike and Crow very briefly discuss the issues raised by the movie, Tom delivers the letters to read. Down in Deep 13, Frank is now dressed as the superhero Doughy Man, which just makes him a more inviting target for Dr. F to mace him again, and again, and again...

Stinger: Jane leaps to her feet and screams "TURN IT OFF!"

Other Notes

Miscellanea

  • Unusual credits: Frank keeps accidently hitting the button and returning the camera to Deep 13, upon which Dr. F keeps macing him.
