It stands to reason that Dr. Clayton Forrester is as evil as he is--check out his mother! Clayton cooks and cleans all day long for Mom's visit, and all she wants to do is go out and carouse with TV's Frank. It's enough to make a demented genius force a guy and a couple of robots to watch a cheap knockoff of
The Most Dangerous Game starring Robert Reed. Or something like that. Meanwhile, on the Satellite of Love, Crow and Servo are engaging in what any two stranded robots would do to pass the time: psychotherapy. Does Crow have a mother? Has he seen
Cliffhanger?
You know--all the juicy stuff. Before the feature presentation, Mike and the 'bots are treated to
Uncle Jim's Dairy Farm, your typical weird-stuff-seething-beneath-the-surface classroom film (Mike in mock-narrator tone: "Repressed emotions help the evening pass without incident"). Finally, it's time for
Bloodlust, in which a horribly wardrobed Father Brady (Crow: "His shirt's so tight you can see his liver!"), his large-featured girlfriend (Crow: "She's got more face than she needs"), his dorky friend ("Steve Allen, P.I.!"), and some other rabbit-in-the-headlights actress visit an uncharted island and dodge the homicidal intentions of its chief wacko resident. Worth watching for this classic exchange alone: "You ever shot a man?" "No, but I slapped Ann B. Davis once."
