I notice in the store that Oozing Skull looks like it comes with a case. Does anybody know this for sure one way or another?

Gamera Vs. Guiron when the alien woman is shaving the kid's head. Crow says "Well you gotta shave 'em." and Joel loses it for about 30 seconds or so.

I need to get a new one too but haven't gotten around to it. If I do it'll go on a shelf to keep it in good condition while I try to keep the pages in place in my old one.

I just started watching Revenge of the Creature again, and after the opening segment I had some thoughts I've had before. What if the apes and their lab had remained the new premise of the show? We could have discovered that Dr. Forrester was actually the Lawgiver. Some experiment or another had given rise to the apes, and so all these years later he was very nearly worshipped. While researching him, Prof. Bobo and (Dr.) Peanut discovered in his notes that one of his longest-running experiments had never been concluded, and devised a way to recall M&TB to the SOL, and back to Earth to continue his work. This would've kept close to the original concept of two guys, er, apes, holding a man captive in space and forcing bad movies on him. The very first interactions between Bobo and Peanut seem very similar to Dr. F and Frank to me.
I apologize if something similar has been discussed in the past. Also, this is NOT intended to bash the characters of Pearl, Bobo and Observer, and the show's premise in those years. Those characters are funny in their own right and I like them.

Maybe Rhino was going to start working in one new direct-to-DVD episode in each volume?

What was the episode where Crow and Tom debate PC vs Mac? C: #304 - Gamera Vs. Barugon Tom - "Oh this is rich. Bad command or file name. They expect you to be a machine to operate this machine!" Crow - "Oh and I suppose you'd prefer a little animated clown who would juggle over to the little file cabinet, and then wink at you, and point to the right drawer." Tom - "Yeah, sure, at least I don't have to have a photographic memory to get my Mac to work."

Hi, folks. Long-time poster, first-time lurker. I think... Two riffs that always crack me up, but damned if I know if they're referencing anything at all: 1.) Monster A-Go-Go--as Babe Ruth and the other fella are talking in the office, Crow blurts out, "You speak in riddles, Saheeb!" The delivery's great, but is this a reference to anything in particular or just a crack on the weird dialogue? According to Wikipedia, Sahib is a South Asian term of respect, meaning Sir, Lord, or Master. That means it could probably be from any number of things. For some reason my first reaction was that it was from an Indiana Jones movie, but I've got nothing to base that on. This is a real shot in the dark, but a Google search of the quote turned up the novel The Far Pavilions by M.M. Kaye. It was adapted into a TV mini-series in 1984. Maybe someone who has read the book or watched the movie can tell if the context would fit Crow's quip. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahiben.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Pavilions

Help identify please. I'm in full obsessive-compulsive gear-spinning mode. Plot point of episode to be identified: teenage hoodlums rob a middle-aged guy who turns out to be the father of one of their friends. It happens very early in the episode. I've read through the plot synopses of all the teens-in-trouble episodes and haven't seen it mentioned. It could also be in a short, I suppose. Thanks in advance, Old Man Crenshaw I think that's the short "What About Juvenile Delinquency?" in episode #518 The Atomic Brain, though oddly enough it's not listed in the Amazing Colossal Episode Guide.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_McDonaldAccording to Wikipedia King Moody was Ronald McDonald from 1975-1984. I also find it odd that King was followed by a guy named Squire. This is one of the reasons this forum is great, I might never have known this without this place. I'm not exactly sure what to do with it now, but it's interesting to know. ;D The truth of the matter is that King and all those other guys were only Ronald's helpers. The real Ronald McDonald lives on a cloud in outer space above the South Pole, where Fry Guys work year 'round to make Happy Meal toys for all the little boys and girls. And occasionally fights dark forces for the fate of the world.

To me, you can't go wrong with any of these episodes, but that goes for almost all of them. If I had to rank them I'd go with:
1. Zombie Nightmare 2. Robot Holocaust 3. Women of the Prehistoric Planet 4. Godzilla Vs. The Sea Monster 5. Alien From L.A.

Dr. F: Ah, Joel. Let's get right to it. Frank? What does a dog enjoy more than anything in the world? Frank (offscreen): Sniffing another dog's butt? Dr. F: No... Frank: Chasing its tail? Dr. F: Oh, shut up, Frank. Everyone knows that man's best friend loves nothing more than going for a drive and hanging its head out the window, letting the wind blow in its face and revelling in the freedom of simply being alive. Enter our invention exchange. Frank? <Frank walks onscreen wearing a dog nose and ears.> Frank: I still don't understand why I had to put these on, it adds nothing. Dr. F: Oh stop whining and get in the invention Frank. <Frank sits on the other side of a car door.> Dr. F: Behold, the Poochie Party Pooper! Fido can feel a slight breeze, just enough so he knows it's there. He knows the window is open, and yet he can't put his head out the window and let his spirit soar. <Behind the screen, Frank goes from happily impersonating a dog to whimpering and whining.> Dr. F: His car ride is ruined and it'll only get worse when he find out just why you're driving him to the vet. <Frank gulps.> Dr. F: Back to you, Benji. <Dr. F turns back to Frank, who is growling and shaking his head.> Dr. F: Out of the car, Frank. Out! Out of that car! Bad dog! Bad! <Cuts to SOL.> Joel: Well as I'm sure you know sirs, every business at one time or another has information that they just can't allow to get out to the public. But the regular paper shredder stopped being fun for most people a long time ago. <Cut back to Deep 13, where Frank and Dr. F are giddy as they feed files into a shredder. Dr. F notices they're being watched.> Well? Get on with it! Joel (shaking his head): Well anyway, that's why we invented the Shreddin' Hamster Habitat. Joel: What office doesn't need a cute, lovable hamster to brighten things up? And you just feed your dirty secrets into the top of his cage, and you've got no need to buy expensive wood shavings. As an added bonus, since hamsters have the quickest replacement rate of any pet this side of the goldfish, you can use this habitat to breed hamsters for profit, to help offset the cost of whatever it is you're covering up. <Crow and Tom walk in carrying a cage about to burst from shredded paper.> Crow: Joel, we need more of these habitats. A lot more. Tom: Yeah, and we can't find our hamster in this one, can you help? <Joel gets that sickly nervous look on his face as he looks at their cage and then back to the camera.> Joel: What do you think, sirs?

Mike lacked subtlety. (An official imaginary Mogol award to anyone who actually gets this. ) I loved that invention exchange. No real info in that interview, but they mention the announcement of another title at the convention, so that’s cool. Glad somebody got it. Didn't want everyone thinking I was taking shots at Mike. ;D
