Definitely a darker tone to the films selected in the later Mike years when they started riffing more horror films, and became less of an all-ages program, which I think you could say about the Joel years for the most part.

This one is painful, like a long, drawn-out, poorly-acted episode of 'Tales from the dark side'.

I miss Dr.Forrester and TV's Frank at the beginning

And I know, "repeat to yourself it's just a show", but it made far more sense that Mike and the bots would be tortured by these films by Dr.F's experimentations from Deep 13 than it does that Pearl is in ancient Rome and somehow sending them movies.

As atrocious as the short is, I have to admit there is some good, common sense info that the pushy cop shares. Heck, the goofballs waving before hitting the train could just as easily be goofballs texting before getting hit by a train.

I guess I'm alone on this, but I just don't find the Pearl character all that funny, and the opening segment just drags. Nothing can top the invention exchanges with Joel, Forrester and TV's Frank.

Lance Fuller - aka "Brack" from "This Island Earth"?

The "teleportation" at 28 min is hilarious

My 15-year-old and I think this is one of the best ones.
But...what the Hell is a 'hot fish shop?'

Just finished it and, you know, this wasn't that bad of a film. Mitchell was more of a beer-drinking fat slob, but here the "Geronimo" character was goofy yet not entirely unlikable. I dunno, this didn't work for me.

the MJP/Pearl character was the beginning of the end for me. Frank and Dr.Forrester eventually leave the show and that's when the intro segments aren't really funny anymore as far as I'm concerned. I started skipping Pearl's segments because she's just not funny.

I could do without the Pearl outtro. Just not as funny as Dr.Forrester and TV's Frank.
