From producer Charles Keating, whom you might remember from such deeply moral productions as The Savings & Loan Scandal (1989), starring John McCain as "The Man with the Slapped Wrist" and Neil Bush as "The Guy Who Daddy Got Off" comes this shocking film that blows... the lid off of the multi-billion dollar porn industry, exposing the dildonic demons responsible for the corruption of our nation's youth... Minorities, Communists and Gays (Oh My!).
Hosted by George Putnam, the KTLA news anchor who inspired Ted Baxter and preceded the KTLA news anchor who inspired Kent Brockman as the voice of KTLA*, this deeply probing film goes bed-hopping from girlie-mags to nudist-rags to "physique" publications, leaving no bone unturned (ouch).

DX Stone: "What a woman does with her squid in the privacy of her own home is fine!"
* KTLA said they would pay us for that... they DID!
Comments
and enter a world where pony noises, echo FX and random other stuff might assault your ears at any moment. As a fairly old school fan myself, at first I found this really disarming, BUT it was so entertaining I kept listening. This short is like a kaleidoscope ride for the ear--not wall-to-wall noise, but certainly more than most of us are used to, and the just sort of strangeness of the characters riffing can really throw you off sometimes. And there's interaction with the film strip, sometimes in ways reminiscent of that old Daffy Duck cartoon where we see at the end Bugs has the paintbrush that's messing with him. What's impressive about this is that, A, it's funny, and B, after about two decades of MST3K-ing in general and nearly a year of iRiffs, this feels NEW. I don't think DogKnob has quite hit their stride yet, but nothing about this feels amateur, either. Really cool stuff. ...............................................

D X here, DogKnob's better half; I just had to tell ya what MUSIC your words seem to my ears. I've read literally thousands and thousands of reviews in my day, of ALL sorts of things: Books, films, plays, sports reviews, product reviews, every possible reviewable thing that exists... but this one is the BEST HANDS DOWN! I give you 6 out of 5 stars! If you were a bass amp, you'd go up to 12, I MEAN that!
Thanx, Ice!
