Synthia (and Pals) Selects 8: Tech Run Amok Month

Atomic Brain

Special Guest: Jonah

Synthia asks the age-old question, "what atomic body part would you prefer?" - Jonah wants a neck (to protect him from Crow's surprise judo chops), Syn selects heart, because atomic hearts can't be broken. Part 2: Syn reveals that Pearl often tells her that she needs a brain transplant, while Jonah now wants atomic eyes, after watching the movie. 

First Segment Text:
Syn - "Taught a fish to man"
Jonah - "Ring ring ring... banana jumpsuit"
Syn - "Atomic heartthrob"

GizmoBlip: Network names from team Emily

Final Segment Text:
Syn - "What a clone, hu?"

Jonah - "Atomic face rub"

Syn - "Needs 12 more pieces of Rick Flair"

Blood Waters of Dr. Z

Special Guest: Mega-Synthia

Pearl mixes metaphors (but she don't care) and asks Mega if she's ever had walking catfish and how was it prepared? No, but she did have a walking taco, which didn't walk, and this upsets her. Pearl tries, and fails a segue (don't dip corns chip into blood waters?) Later Pearl quips that rock weeds are the algae of love. Mega is still hung up on walking catfish 

First Segment Text:
Pearl - "Jorts made a comeback, why not Jarts?"
Mega - "Walking catfish, hidden dragon"
Pearl - "For whom the Taco Bell tolls"

GizmoBlip: Emily shares pictures of herself repairing bulkheads, and goes a little mad while sharing a picture story (but she doesn't miss Instagram, honest)

Final Segment Text:
Pearl - "Blood waters run deep"

Mega - "All her thoughts are final"

Pearl - "Goal disoriented"

The Amazing Transparent Man

Special Guest: Tom Servo (Baron)

Tom can see right through men, and very few are amazing, only Tom and women are amazing. Syn sez "simmer down bubble boy!" - in the final segment, Tom can now see through clones, which upsets Syn (nobody can see through me!)

First Segment Text:
Syn - "It's turtles and clouds all the way down"
Servo - "No longer transparent, still a gentleman"
Syn - "She's every woman"

GizmoBlip: Emily's bots are 50 times behind on their updates

Final Segment Text:
Syn - "The Amazing Opaque Woman"

Servo - "The Adequate Translucent Robot"

Syn - "Got a blank space where her mind should be"

Robot Holocaust

Special Guest: Crow T. Robot (Kelsey)

Mega-Synthia talks about another vacation ending after a bunch of villagers try to burn her up in an old mill? She asks if Crow is tired of robots, he is and lacks empathy for other robots who are not him. By the end, both Mega and Crow feel there were far too many humans in the movie for their liking, then Mega gets bogged down in sister talk.

First Segment Text:
Mega - "That wasn't in the brochure"
Crow - "Robotzzzzzz"
Mega - "The library is always open (and underfunded)

GizmoBlip: The bots prank Jonah, by acting like their batteries are low... Crow wants a robo-priest, to issue last bytes. 

Final Segment Text:
Mega - "That don't impress her much"

Crow - "No the humanity!"

Mega - "But should she say that again?"

First Spaceship on Venus

Special Guest: Tom Servo (Conor)
Pearl doesn't wear pearls, because she hates oysters... Tom wants to be on the first spaceship to land on Everest, or the ball at Epcot Center, or Uranus. At the close, Pearl sums up the movie, "It's like Wall-E, but sadder and more German." Servo continues his Uranus talk.

First Segment Text:
Pearl - "The oysters know what they did"
Servo - "First Mate aboard Jefferson Starship
Pearl - "Forever displeased"

GizmoBlip: Tom and Crow offer Jonah advice on repairs, GPC plays tech support but wont help until J apologizes for stealing her sweets.

Final Segment Text:
Pearl - "Rages against all machines"

Servo - "Got a machine head"

Pearl - "Has had it with Uranus"

War of the Colossal Beast

Special Guest: GPC
Mega-Synthia is thrilled with the colossal movie, and asks GPC why she (Mega) is her favorite colossal beast? Mega is flattered by the flattery. Part 2 - Mega found the movie very touching, GPC tries to consol her but misunderstands, Mega is glad because she's now colossus #1!

First Segment Text:
Mega - "Some assembly still required"
GPC - "Outer space's sweetheart"
Mega - "Is lovin' this"
