Here's a movie that would've beaten quite a few on that list: Stanley Donen's "Movie Movie" (which beat "Airplane!" to the parody-punch by 2 years): http://www.imdb.com/title/t…

This video could have included Forbidden Planet's control room:

When it was pointed out that the orange pips were an ancient symbol of death, I was not only reminded of the oranges-as-presages-of-death in The Godfather, I recalled that Doyle's "The Five Orange Pips" is one of two Sherlock Holmes stories in which Holmes' client dies after having hired him (the other one was "The…

Ads Machina.

Ads Machina.

This show should actually be named "The Squabbling Live." I'm so sick of this endlessly repeating shallow range of emotions being used to hash-over the same To-Be-or-Not-To-Be-Humane-etc. petty soap-opera bullshit in the midst of an Apocalypse week after fucking week. It's like watching Jews bickering over unmade…

The X Factor: In addition to the idyllically hopeful sounding drug Xanadu…we have that opening Ronald Reagan movie "Moonbase Freedom" —which is actually repurposed footage from "The Man From Planet X."

As the new reviewer Zack Handlen suggested in his take on "The Myth of Sisyphus," as we're reminded in this episode how Ms. Heck is the dangerous loose lead to the hit-and-run, Ed or Peggy might have to eliminate her. But when Peggy told her that she DOES want to go to the Self-Actualization Seminars, I had a…

John Teti —I'm surprised that you didn't seem to notice that Peggy's boss is a lesbian. She tries to sway her to an anti-man, pro Free Princess viewpoint —and when we cut to her ACTUAL POV, we see it's appraising Peggy's butt and body. Then, when she's offering her a ride home, she calls her "sexy." And she uses…

Perverted, ghoulish, heartless, blood-and-shit splashed Music Videos of the Damned, shot in the gorgeous rooms of the Hotel Caligula. Fuck this awful show.

I liked the subtle foreshadowing in Tammy's last name: The Guterman's. Meaning the "Good Man." In wonky German. Yeah, that sounds trustworthy.

I love that the title not only references "Sliding Doors" but also the alternate worlds of "Sliders." Sweet. (And I can see why they didn't call it "Bob's Sliders." That might have been too confusingly delicious.)

One thing not mentioned in this review: That this episode acknowledges that it's retreading old ground. Recall the Statler and Waldorf-like old characters standing behind the fence, watching the Frat-fracus unfold, remarking that they've seen this before, and even remarking how long they've got before this…

Allow me to add this: Philip Kaufman's The Wanderers. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I think the multiple "Eyes Wide Shut" allusions in tonight's episode were intentional and telling: The seductive "Waltz" music famously used during the movie's introduction (Dmitri Shostakovich's Waltz No.2 Jazz No.2.), the crowd of faces in masks, Darlene's "We're finally awake" statement mirroring the same remark…

Here's the thing that's just too dumb for me: "If you don't let the beings who have the power to destroy the world go free…we'll prove their existence ON THE INTERNET!" Right. Just like all those Alien Autopsy videos have proved the truth about Area 51.

Since you seem to think this movie is a bit tainted by a Randian exceptionalist message, I offer up this Tagline:

I wonder if the inverted name joke of the "Decency Inn" (which, flipped around, would be InnDecency) was meant to clue us in to the secondary "Hawk and Chick" name joke. Flip THAT around, and you get "Chick 'n' Hawk!"

Hi, Brandon. Here are the clues I think you might have missed, which help to explain the dreams.

Here's a late comment regarding the Premier Episode. I sincerely hope Wilmore breaks his terrible habit of licking his lips every few seconds. He can't even pull a face and hold it for an audience reaction, because he nervously runs his tongue out of his mouth and squashes the effect. If someone made a Supercut, I…
