It is kind of goofy how there's no conclusion to the Buzz/Michelle/Critter love triangle. They have one fight early on and then Buzz just kind of gives up on her.

Jesus, I was just watching that last night  And to whoever first brought the 'broadcast edition' episodes on Youtube....thanks. I get the episode plus ads for stuff I'd forgotten about. The loving long distance wars for example.

We watched the recording of the Pumaman stream last night. Mr Boods is British and kept arguing that is is pronounced 'pyuma-man.' I hadn't seen it in a while, so the biggest spontaneous laugh from me was the 'Boog Powell is more catlike than this guy!' having grown up an Orioles fan. I'm pretty sure the last time I saw this was in one of the Gary in Motion videos, because I recall a heck of a lot more with the guy in the personal fire engine (I so, so regret not getting the chance to see more of the GiM versions). Such good fun -- I'm looking forward to their revisit of the Wild World of Batwoman. ETA -- Good grief, Boog is still alive! And causing coronaries with his barbeque :3 (I haven't lived out in the USA for over 10 years now, and for some reason I thought he had died.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boog_Powell

Watching Invasion of the Neptune Men, I don't take offense to it, but the jokes that are all purely just 'haha they're japanese' are kind of stale, and there are a LOT of them. Like, were the Japanese just a punchline to Americans in the 90s? I feel like i'm missing something.

The cram school lines are...ok. I watch and read plenty of Japanese things and those things are played up plenty. But like the "dog barking in japanese accent' just kinda flies over my head.

I personally like how Harry Blatz goes out of his way to make sure he and Buz are seen together by another inmate, as insurance against getting knocked off by Buz, and then Buz just goes ahead and whacks him anyways.  And to be fair, this is a jail where they just store narcotics in a regular jail cell, in open view and apparently easily accessible by inmates, so I'm guessing that "who gives a poo poo" is the prevailing attitude there.

The 80s going into the 90s had a lot of intense xenophobia towards the Japanese because of the whole thing with "FEAR THE JAPANESE, THEIR MIGHTY ECONOMY AND WORK ETHIC WILL LEAD TO THEM CONTROLLING THE PITIFUL AMERICAN, WORK HARDER OR ELSE THE INSIDIOUS JAPANESE CORPORATIONS WILL TAKE OVER OUR PROUD AMERICAN CORPORATIONS." It absolutely pervades pop culture during the time. Die Hard, Back to the Future Part 2 and basically the entire cyberpunk genre since it was founded in this time feeds on these assumed fears. So a lot of comedy from the time plays off it.

From my understanding they really hated that movie (it used actual bombing footage in their children's films) so they were harsher then normal.

The weird thing is, is that they go just as hard at Canada in Final Sacrifice, on Germany in that version of Hamlet they did, on Russia in the Russo-Finnish movies they did (especially Jack Frost), and on the British in the various British movies they did. Generally, if a movie's not set in the USA, they tend to be pretty merciless picking at its culture (just as they are merciless picking at American culture, too). I think the problem with Invasion of the Neptune Men (and some of the other Japanese films they riffed on) is that making fun of the Japanese in the same way they do the Canadians or British just really kinda rides the line between making fun of another country's culture, and making fun of an actual ethnic group of people (which teeters uncomfortably close to just being racist).

That's pretty much it. If everything was equal and square, making fun of the Japanese should be as pure and good as making fun of the French. But things aren't exactly equal and square and even if they were doing it exactly like that, others won't or take it much worse places. But making fun of their violent porn cartoons will always be good and funny

While it doesn't excuse anything, it is certainly true the culture they go hardest at is that of the middle class Midwesterner from Minnesota.

There is actually an explanation for the Hitler Building, oddly enough. A big museum at the time was having an exhibit about Hitler and Mein Kampf, and that was their sign for it- the modelmakers just decided to be really faithful.

Just watched that restored edition of Theppyoomaymen--really good! Kind of an ideal clean up without going into expensive and jarring bluray quality or something. The short and the new skits were really good too.

This months The Mads livestream, Battle of the Worlds sure is cheap. They couldn't even afford a set for the outside of the alien world so everyone just kind of fake walks in place in front of a rear projection.

Rifftrax has redone the short Last Clear Chance and it is worth picking up as it is a different edit than the one they used on the show with some longer scenes and you actually get to see the other high school student's accident.
