Mike is my favourite and a sweetheart but he's also a walking catastrophe and cannot be contained. Shooting him into space where he could roam the universe was Clayton Forrester's most monstrous crime.

Also, Ator had a major “this whole movie is the scriptwriter’s/director’s repressed sexual urges” vibe to it. When he got arrested by the spider warrior dudes near the end, I thought: “so are these guys going to try to gently caress him too?"

I kinda miss how much they played around with the host segments during the Sci-Fi Channel Era, going to different planets and different time periods. It was fun to change things up every few episodes.

I've always kind of respected The Screaming Skull for having a legitimate plot twist, where we find out the protagonist actually isn't.

I believe it was a legit criticism of Servo's when he said it was 'two servings of suspense stretched out to feed seven.' They do make the stab at suspense, hampered by the female lead and now I can only hear Mickey's line delivery like Snagglepuss thanks to one of Mike's jokes.

It was one of those movies that had the seed of a good movie somewhere in it, but just couldn’t get it together.

Like, they just tried to string a bunch of scary events together, then sprung the twist and the real ghost on you. But the preceding stuff was like, stuff the husband couldn’t have done, so was the ghost trying to scare her away before she got killed, or did the husband hire a squirrel to carry the skull around?

It really needed a bit more of something. Like, some of the scary stuff being something a human could have set up (and make the audience assume it was Mickey, which seemed to be the intent), but then have actual weird stuff happening that also catches the husband by surprise.

Though I’m also of the opinion that Puma Man could have been a decent movie had they gone either full comedy or full serious and not... whatever it was they did. So my judgement may be way off.

That the villain exists due to clerical error is one of the most realistic things ever seen in a Christmas movie.

Prune was a nobody orphan who was denied gifts by a magic being so he devoted his life to destroying that being not physically, but spiritually.
