Bryant Halliday (Devil Doll's Great Vorelli) stars as Paul,
a scientist with orange hair and killer panic attacks. He creates a teleporter,
uses it on himself, and develops the power to electrocute people. Dry as
toast and bitter as tea, if not for the guys in the theater seats,
this little sleeping pill would have bored me to death.
England, its customs and people, receive
a well-deserved spanking (well, deserved within the context of this movie);
M&TB also have fun with knickers, face diapers, Devil Doll and Mitchell
callbacks, Lembach (he isn't staying by the way), and Servo's crush on Sheila
-who spends the end of the movie dressed only in her picnic underwear.
As for the other half? After a long
drawn-out sequence with Pearl and her gang moving into Castle Forrester (again:
less talk - more shorts, would have been my preference) the host segments
improve with some nice movie-related skits. I especially enjoyed the added
touch of Servo's footsteps, during Crow's "Touch of Death" sketch.
Not a great episode by any means and
not an exciting movie in the least. But the Brainers have their moments. A decent mid-level experiment.
Host Segments

Segment 3: Mike calls Lembach and Pearl reads the family diary. Segment 4: Crow has the touch of death and uses it on Mike! End: Tom and Crow make grant requests. Pearl reclaims her destiny. Stinger: Lembach is staying

Riff Explained
"I want some Amontillado"- Servo
Said as burglars chip at a wall. Great riff references Edgar Allen Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado". A guy looking forward to a drink of expensive wine ends up buried alive behind a brick wall.
