103 – Mad Monster. Short: Commando Cody Part 2

Short is first. After escaping Retik, Cody and his pals devise a plan to enter the villain’s lair. Once there, they inject nitrous oxide into the ventilating system, knock out the bad guys, and steal the atomic ray gun. The plan works fine, but as they make their getaway with the gun, Cody and his sidekick Ted are pursued by Moon Men in a moon tank and get trapped in a cave. The Moon Men melt the rock walls with another laser and cause molten lava to rush towards Cody and Ted.

Now the movie! So after the credits it shows a wolf howling, then in a cage. PETA would love this movie. Blood is being taken from the wolf and is inserted to a guy by an evil doctor named Cameron. Cameron says he has nothing to worry about, but experience says he has everything to worry about. The guy passes out and turns into a werewolf! Cameron is glad and shockingly he wants to use it as a weapon of peace! Then he remembers that a bunch of guys said he was insane for wanting that and begins to plot his revenge! I guess he has to insert the potion into him to change the guy back, which is not going to bode well for later. The guy remembers none of the transformation and only remembers it as a dream where he was chasing and wanting to kill people. The doctor said it was just a nightmare and as they go off to bed they meet Camerons daughter, Lenora. Also it seems the guy is a bit…special…it’s odd for the 40’s. So on and off wolfman is their gardener and has feelings for Lenora. Worked for Forrest Gump so he has a chance. Cameron sees them interacting and has him leave the garden and go to the lab to be a subject of SCIENCE! So he has the guy strapped down and turns him into a werewolf again. Then he lets the guy out and he wanders as a werewolf. So in other words he wanders around a fake forest with lots of fog. So they cut to some house in the middle of the woods with a guy and his family. The little girl wants to play with her ball. This does not bode well. Then a random hunter shot at the wolfman and the hunter gets away and into the house, while he is chased. Then the wolfman sneaks in through the girl’s window and I assume he kills her! Before the family can see it the wolfman is already gone and back at the lab. Cameron turns him back and he once again thinks he had a bad dream again. Some guy walks in and Cameron welcomes him. White suit, white skin, black tie, slicked to the side hair, and cheeky grin. I’ve got my money on a bet that he’s a reporter and I know I’m gonna win. Yes he is! We’ve lined up the cast. Man made monster, doctor, doctor’s daughter, and the reporter. Sounds like a 40’s monster movie. Well they talk about a story and a DEAD CHILD! Jesus 1930 – 50’s movies what’s up with you and dead little girls! Our ‘genius’ reporter thinks it a giant lizard. No, no that’s in about 3 seasons! Well that scene was almost pointless. Then I guess Cameron goes to the house of one of the doctors who doubted him and he tries to gloat to him about his success. Then Cameron brings the wolfman to the other doctor and doesn’t show him transform. He leaves the guy with the other doctor and he calls one of the other skeptical doctors. The two talk exposition for a bit and the other doctor talks to the wolfman for more exposition. Cameron is shown with some other guy in the middle of the forest and they walk back to the other doctor’s house. The doctor inserts the potion in the wolfman and he slowly transforms as Cameron is on his way and almost has a heart attack. The wolf effect is muttonchops and a beard combo with fake fangs. Hilarious. The werewolf stealthily gets up and strangles the doctor. He screams so loud that Cameron, the other guy, and some cop can hear him and sprint. They’re too late, but Cameron takes his potion and leaves. The reporter shows up at the scene of the crime and they are all shacked at this strangling. So back at Cameron’s house the wolfman was changed back and know he is making creepy faces at Lenora and gets the feeling he is told to do terrible things. Cameron walks on, slaps him, and tells him to go to his room. Ugh…I hate that they make characters like the wolfman. Watch it and you’ll understand. He seems very…dim. His daughter and him argue for a moment, but they get over it and talk about how awesome he is. Then the reporter (I think) meets with the dead girl’s dad and we get nothing from it. This scene was pointless. Then we see Cameron open up the door to see the werewolf?! He doesn’t even need the transformation potion now! He keeps threatening him into submission with a whip and makes him human again. 3rd verse same as the rest skip this wake up scene! So the reporter is STILL talking to this guy and they’re just talking about a scene we already saw. The reporter shows up to Cameron’s house then loudly talks about his suspicions. Now he has to die! No he doesn’t, but another Doctor shows up. She congratulates Cameron so he might not die. Cameron goes crazy about how he can control evolution and be god. The doctor calls him crazy and hopes he will give up his crazy ideas. Okay time for him to die. He leaves with the wolfman apparently and a hunting party is set up to kill the werewolf. He changes into the werewolf and almost kills the doctor and makes the car tip over. I’m assuming the direction was “Stand there and look ‘scary’ at the camera”. The hunters find them and as the wolfman runs off they find out that the doctor was still alive. So they bring him back to Cameron’s house! This won’t end well for anyone. Lenora and reporter conclude that the gardener is the werewolf and he coincidently arrives at the exact same time! Then Cameron poisons the doctor as another skeptical doctor arrives! Jesus Christ it must be this guy’s lucky week! Lenora finds the lab and sees the wolfman! She screams, Cameron and the reporter arrive, reporter throws a chair, and lightning strikes some chemicals, causing a fire, wolfman kills Cameron, and the house burns down. ALL HAPPENIGN WITHIN LIKE TWO MAYBE THREE MINUTES! The End!

A bit of trivia, Glenn Strange, who plays the werewolf, would later take up the role of Frankenstein’s Monster in several of Universal’s movies (House of Frankenstein, House of Dracula, and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein). The invention exchange is a Flaming Handbag for Joel and it’s dumb (how do you open it without it burning?). Dr. F’s is a fire-breathing dinosaur for realistic playtime. Also dumb. The next skit is Tom hitting on Joel’s blender…hilarious (Sadly you all can’t hear just how sarcastic I said that!). The next skit is them talking about how all the violence was implied and not shown. It’s decent. Not all that funny. Third skit is OH GOD! Joel switched Tom and Crow’s heads! Absolutely horrible! This movie sucked. The pacing and make up are bad, the story is contrived and coincidental, characters are idiots, and it feels slow as molasses for most of it and the end speeds through like a goddamn bullet! The riffs aren’t that funny either with less chuckles or laughs that the previous two. Robot Vs The Aztec Mummy was a worse movie, but this is the worse episode.

Episode Rating – 1/10

Movie Rating – 2/10

Favorite Riff – “Peitro could you give me a hand. My thumbs are stuck in my jacket – oops I’m fine.”

Possible Stinger – Doctor screaming and being heard by the others in the forest.
