First Nelson-hosted episode. A few interesting rookie bits, pretty good riffing on the movie.
Movie: cr@ppy “sci-fi” monster/”drama”. The acting is actually decent but the script is mediocre and it’s very pretentious/wanna-be-“thrilling!”. It does have a certain gruesome film-noir-ish feel to it though, and some of the FX are nasty enough to make this somewhat PG.
Highlights:
Signs of Life!
obvious (but amusing) anatomy jokes
skewering of anti-female/anti-trust messages
bad end credit
