Amazing Colossal Grade: The original Sharktopus
Movie Pain: High - Vile, with so many edits I get dizzy

One of the most spastically edited flicks in known history! What we can derive from the hundreds of montages provided, is that this is a film about beer, a fleshless Darryl Hanna wannabe, and a television repairman. All of whom battle against a Devil Fish (not to be confused with Hugo, a Devil Doll). Note: apparently there is an uncut version of the movie titled "Monster Shark", which makes more sense.
There are some funny riffs at the outset but it nosedives big time as it goes on. The crew at Best Brains probably enjoyed this one as much as "Sidehackers" (sarcasm intended) as this movie also had disturbing scenes of violence against women which needed to be cut out.
Host segments are pretty solid. Mike losing his identity due to a government conspiracy(?) made me chuckle and watching him upset dolphins and electricians (with dire consequences) was good for a wide smile. Beez McKeever & Patrick Brantseg play the guests on Pearl's cruise ship.
And of course, this episode is known for an important appearance from the MST logo ...
Intro: Mike has lost his identity. Segment 1: Pearl's running a cruise ship, M&TB provide the ice sculptures. Segment 2: Mike and the bots make the mistake of dissing dolphins. Segment 3: And now the guys get in trouble for ribbing electricians. Segment 4: Pearl's Italian filter goes wild. End: Crow's animal combos and dinner at the captain's table. Stinger: "It's right underneath us!" - "I know!"

Joan Didion?
An author whose detailed writings focus on the trivial and hopeless nature of
life. Pretty depressing stuff
