#15 in Mighty Jack's Top 100
Amazing Colossal Grade: Charlie Chaplin Jr. and Harold Lloyd Jr. are in the cast, too bad they couldn't get one of Buster Keaton's sons to do a cameo.
Movie Pain: Low - Slang talkin' troubled teens are a gas!
Riffing: I laughed so hard I wet 'em!
Skits: Chuckle-Fest at best

Enjoy this style of film or not, you can't argue with the results of the Msting. This is Mike and the Bots at their best; offering up tons of pop references as well poking fun at the movies several idiosyncrasies. The riffing runs on all cylinders and never runs outta gas.
The scenes between Anka and Serafina are amazingly funny, it isn't enough to read the jokes, you gotta hear them for yourself as the timing and delivery are so sharp.
The host segments did not reach the same heights. Though they do serve as an introduction of the 'Umbilicus'. Tom scatting was the worst - Honor system and the final skit were obvious but fun.
Host Segments
Intro: The Mads have a big announcement and the SOL crew prepare a party. Crow hires "The Power Steves" to provide the music. Segment 1: Dr. F unveils "Umbilicus"! Which connects Deep 13 to the SOL via Gypsy. Segment 2: Servo scats. And scats and scats and... Segment 3: Mike institutes the honor system for candy on the SOL. Servo breaks code and gains a ton! Segment 4: M&TB's draw the woman of the future. End: The gang sends a pie down Umblilicus and Dr F. is on the receiving end. Stinger: Scary looking Ol' Lady, shouts from a window.
