Movie Summary


 Movie: Godzilla Vs. Megalon: 

Two robot-making bachelors live with a small boy named Roxanne, who wears little white hot pants and speaks with the voice of Rocky the Flying Squirrel. They make a robot named Jet Jaguar that puts them at odds with the strange island of Seatopia—as the inhabitants of Seatopia hate robots named Jet Jaguar, as everybody knows. The dorfish King of Seatopia summons their mascot, Megalon, and prays for it to kill, destroy, and maim all the inhabitants of Earth. Jet Jaguar battles Megalon as best he can, but frankly, he's not up to the task and so he cries and wets himself until his buddy Godzilla shows up and helps mop up his mess. The movie finishes with a very disturbing song about Jet Jaguar that will haunt your dreams and retard sleep for many years to come.

Host Segments


 Prologue: 

Joel, Tom, and Crow do their introduction in the style of a magazine show.

 Invention: 

It's Halloween on the Satellite of Love. Joel shows Crow what pain is. Then they do their easy and fun Halloween costumes: "Cut a hole in a milk carton, put your face in it, and go as a missing child!" The Mads dress up, Dr. F as a Foosball Goalie and Frank as an annoying Lieutenant Geordi la Forge.

 Segment 2: 

The Robots have an argument over whose monster is more powerful to distract Joel from the fact that they're looking at naughty pictures.

 Segment 3: 

Rex Dart, Eskimo Spy! Joel and the Bots fixate on the movie's hero and run a montage from the film, continually calling him Rex Dart, Eskimo Spy!

 Segment 4: 

Tom and Crow enact a very strange scene in which Orville Redenbacher and his grandson do something in the tone of Long Day's Journey into Night.

 Segment 5: 

Joel gives Crow and Servo neat new arms. They also translate the Jet Jaguar song and then read letters. Frank gets upset at his Mario Bros. video game.

 Stinger: 

Godzilla does a can opener, sort of.


Reflections

Godzilla Vs. Megalon contains one of my favorite sketches, The "Orville Popcorn" sketch. Odd, overwritten, and surprisingly mean, it takes on a weak opponent and pummels him mercilessly. As the sketch was being shot, producer Jim Mallon was on the phone with our attorney, who informed us that we simply couldn't air this sketch without putting ourselves at great risk of a lawsuit. Jim ran to the set with the news. We suggested changing the name of the character from the original, Orville Redenbacher to Orville Popcorn, as though that would somehow mask our intentions. We shot it that way and were later informed by our attorney that we were every bit at risk as we were before. Our show continues a tradition of tackling anemic opponents, e.g., barbecue sauces, Mentos candies, bed and breakfasts. Sleep better, America, knowing that we don't intend to stop.
