Oh my. This film was a surprise! I was not expecting to find a nasty exploitation film this early on. At first, it seems like this movie is about "sidehacking", which is one of the stupidest 'extreme' sport ideas that I have ever seen (it's right up there with noodling). But soon the film takes a swift turn into "Death Wish" territory! It's a nasty little exploitation yarn with one of the most over-the-top villains to date!
Verdict: 3/4-Watchable! If your into the exploitation scene, then this movie should give you a kick or two.
This seems to be one of those episodes that people either love or hate. Of course the fact that the movie is so unpleasant tends to be one of their biggest reasons. Personally, I really enjoyed the riffing. There where some really good lines and the boys managed to keep me interested and giggling like mad.
Opener: Bedtime on the SOL
Inventions: Joel's Pet slinky, Dr. F's slinky body
Seg1: The boys sing the Sidehacking song
Seg2: Joel and the bots come up with some sidehacking terminology
Seg3: JC and Cooch on the hexfield
End: Only Love Pads the Film
Overall: The host segments from this experiment have to be some of my favorites of the season. There are a couple of fun songs (Only Love Pads the Film would go on to become one of the series' most famous), and the terminalogy bit had my in stitches!
Verdict: Despite the nasty film, the boys managed to keep me laughing all the way.
