This is really good. You've got the characterization down cold. Can't wait to see more - keep up the good work!

Actually, I would LOVE to have them watch more episodes of Gemini Man (besides the two from Riding with Death). It just seems like riffing gold. I would like to hear a return of the Ben Murphy and the '70's jokes.
It would be awesome to get MST3K back in this format. I don't think they should do old sitcoms, though, as it would be hard to keep up with something that's supposed to be funny, wheather it is or not. I would also suggest some first-season of Star Trek: TNG

* HOST SEGMENT 3 INTERIOR - JOELS' WORKSHOPIt's atmospherically lit, shadowy, Kolchak-ian. Crow scoots into shot, battered straw fedora perched atop his net. A small camera is slung around his neck, and a tape recorder is in one hand. He's Carl Krowchak, I.N.S.
Crow scans the room nervously. There's a click as he hits a buton on the recorder.
CROW (a'la Kolchak) I knew I was onto something when I could smell the ethereal exhaust of the Headless Bikers' death cycle. He'd eluded me before, but this time I'll be ready to get all the proof anyone would need.
Crow lifts his camera, and the flash fires in his face.
CROW (reacting) Eeek! Uh, I mean - I hear him now!
Crow ducks down below the workbench, as we hear a motorcycle approach from OFFSCREEN.
A headlight pierces the gloom! A cycle with a demonic rider leaps into view - it's a headless Tom Servo atop a childs Big Wheel tricycle, and he's making the motor noise himself. He squeals to a halt, providing his own tyre screech.
SERVO (revving his motor) RRRrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmMMMMM!
CROW (firing off the camera flash) Aha! Now I have my proof! Vincenzo will-
Crow stops. He actually sees Tom, and the Big Wheel.
CROW (disapointed) Aw, Servo! You're supposed to be a scary ghost biker, not a kindergartner!
SERVO (O/S - well, his head is) What? This was all I could find at short notice, Crow. Pretty neat, with the tassels an' all.
He rings the handlebar bell.
CROW (exasperated) It's pink! And I can't help but notice it has one more wheel than a regular motorcycle.
Toms' head hops into shot - he's having a hard time getting around without his body.
SERVO (straining) Hhnnng-ah! Alright, next time you want to play star reporter give me enough lead time and budget for effects, Crow! Sheesh!
CROW Oh, like it's my fault now? How am I s'posed to defeat the forces of evil - when it's just you on a pink tricycle?
As Tom and Crow argue, a dark figure approaches from behind, wearing a biker jacket pulled up over it's head, arms outstretched like Karloffs' Monster.
Crow spots the headless biker and splits offscreen - as does Toms' body on the Big Wheel (ringing the bell as he goes). Toms head, however, hobbles offscreen at a slower pace.
SERVO (panicking) Wait! Don't leave me! Hhnnng-ah!
The headless biker clomps into the workbench, alone.
JOEL (muffled) Hey guys? I found my old leather jacket, but the zipper's got stuck!
Joel waves his arms around, trying to feel for the bots.
JOEL Guys? Hello?
Joel wanders off, knocking things over as he goes. END OF HOST SEGMENT 3 * Back soon! C.

And now - the final, thrilling installment! Please, tell no-one of the super secret ending of this movie! * END SEGMENT
INTERIOR - WORKSHOPJoel, Crow and Tom are very pleased with themselves, swaggering and high-fiving each other.SERVO (bouncing from side to side) Wooo! Yeah! CROWMade it baby! I knew it. JOEL (hugs the bots) I think we're back, boys! Good work in there guys, but lets not get complacent, huh? We got lucky this time. So what did you kids learn from todays episode? CROWPapperazzis' aren't all bad. Who knew?! Seersucker never goes out of fashion -'cause it was never actually IN fashion. SERVOBeing dead is no reason not to ride like Gary Busey. Also, never let a guy hiding under a blanket play a headless biker. JOEL (nodding) Okay, good points. Either of you know what the moral is? Tom & Crow shake their heads nope.JOEL (into camera, wagging a finger) Always wear a helmet when motorcycling. Even if it's under your jecket. You guys wanna rub the mad scientists noses in it? Tom & Crow nod / voice an affirmative. Joel taps the console button to contact the P.O.S.CUT TO - INTERIOR - P.O.S. CONTROL ROOM It's dark - a spotlight picks out TVs Frank, microphone in hand. Sinatra fedora atop his kiss-curl. The intro music wells up...FRANK (singing Sondheims' 'Send In The Clowns') Isn't it rich? Are we a pair? Me here at last on the ground, You in mid-air... Send in the clones... Where are the clones... There ought to be clones... FRANK CLONES (singing & stepping into shot) They're already here. CUT TO - INTERIOR - JOELS' WORKSHOP JOEL / CROW / SERVO (shocked) HUH?! Who's the what now? CUT TO - INTERIOR - P.O.S. CONTROL ROOM FRANKS ALL (singing) Send in the clones... Send in the clones.
FRANK Hey! Hi guys!
FRANK CLONES Hi Frank!
The lights flick on suddenly, and Dr F appears - wearing a dressing gown, slippers and a nightcap. No glasses - he squints mightily.
Dr F takes a couple of steps, then double takes.
FORRESTER (squinting) Frank? What are you doing in the dark? It's late, you know.
FRANK (indicating the Frank Clones) Yeah, but I-
FORRESTER (yawning) No buts, Frank. Get back to work.
Dr F walks back offscreen, presumably to bed. He shuts the light off again.
FORRESTER (O.S. remembering) Oh, push the button, would you Frank?
FRANK (stomps to the console) Push the button, Frank, back to work Frank...
The Frank Clones follow, jostling to push the button themselves.
FRANK (propriatorial) Hey - back off! It's my job, guys!
Frank pushes the button (one of 'em does, anyways), slapping away clone hands.
Screen shrinks to a dot, then goes black. END OF END SEGMENT* CUE END TITLES* FREEZE TITLESFrank is fending off his clones, who each press the button, which freezes the end credits.
Frank hits the button again, and we return to where the titles stopped. RETURN TO TITLES* FREEZE TITLESFrank is loosing his struggle, the clones aren't smart, but they are many. Frank finds a baseball bat... ... and so do all the Frank Clones! RETURN TO TITLES* FREEZE TITLESFrank has turned things around for himself. He laughs as he sets the Clownosaur on the clones, who, quite rightly, scatter.
The Clownosaur rounds on Frank, who now also runs.
The Clownosaur pushes the button, then takes off after Frank. FINAL RETURN TO TITLES* STINGER Joel and the bots & Dr F and Frank seen in split screen, waving into camera. * The ever lovin' End* Comments, anyone? Coz.

No comment? The Fifth Amendment doesn't apply here in Ward E! I've got ideas for a second episode (that introduces Cally), but have to work it up. BTW- If anyone wants feels like writing an episode in this format themselves - please do! Love to read 'em! C.
