K04 Gamera vs Barugon

K04 Gamera Vs Barugon: The first KTMA era epsiode avilble, K04 gives us our first taste of the primorial ooze that would one day become the greatest thing on TV. Tom Servo still talked in his strange Kermit vioce, and voice mail was played.

Movie: This isn't the worst Gamera movie out there . It's got some figgin' hilarious dubbing (that  Joel and the bots never seem to take advantage of), some VERY strange plot elements ( Barugon has a rainbow death ray!) and a pretty nice monster brawl at the end. It dose have it's dull moments, but I thought that it was still a bit fun.
Verdict: 3/4-Watchable! Silly giant monster fun, but a bit dull at some points.

Riffing: This experiment is, much like the majority of the KTMA Episodes, very rough around the edges. The first half of the theater time is pretty silent, but after the monster Barugon attacks the city things pick up a bit. There are some very funny riffs ("Nothing disgraces a turtle more than getting shot with corn starch!"), but it takes a pretty long time for the riffing to pick up the pace.

Host segments:
Opener: Joel informs us on which flick will be shown and plays a rather positive message.
Seg1: We get the two most well known messages played; the guy that doesn't get it, and the famous "MORE MORE MORE!".
Seg2: we hear from a guy that thinks that the show needs more chalpstick(!?). This becomes a running joke in the episode.
Seg3:Crow's hygiene advice.
End: Crow and Servo's prank calls.
Overall: I LOVED the last two segment's. Crows advice of "Never stick something in your ear larger than a pirate " had me in stitches!

Verdict: 3/6-Fine! The silence in the first half was a bit awkward, but once it picked up it was pretty decent. I'd say that it's a soft 3/6.
