REAL EARLY
2AM "Daddy is Over There!" - Movie, 1 hr.
Actual footage is interwoven from a Detroit Welfare Office. Four moms try to convince city officials that the same man is all of their three-year-old childrens' fathers and owes child support for all four of them.

AFTERNOON
4PM HUNTING FOR DOLLARS - 1972 - Sports, 3 hr
Two groups of expert hunters wager their own money on which bunch will bag the largest total weight of deer in the shortest time. However, very imprecise and subjective methods of weight-per-time calculation lead to a heated argument and threats of violence. Cameo by Jacob Cohen.

EVENING
10PM B-Movie Critique - Talk, 1 hr
Junior Peabody and Joe-Bob Lewellyn discuss and analyze "Daddy is Over There!"

B-MOVIE CRITIQUE

Daddy is Over There!

 

PEABODY

Well, "real and odd" is one way to describe this film. Real, because of the actual, albeit depressing, footage from a Detroit Welfare office - I think - and odd, because there is no plot whatsoever.

LEWELLYN

The idea that the same man could father four children who are almost exactly the same age is possible, I guess, but likely?

PEABODY

Yeah, what is this film? A lesson in morality or a story of a "Johnny-Appleseed of sperm"?

LEWELLYN

I did like it when the four women were all trying to plead, simultaneously, to the welfare people to make the guy pay them back child support.

PEABODY

When a couple of the women yelled out to their children, "Your daddy is over there!", as the man was being hauled in by the cops in association with yet another paternity issue, I began to see the point of this plotless film.

LEWELLYN

What was it? The point, I mean.

PEABODY

We are all victims of the bureaucracy. We are all fallible.

LEWELLYN

Well, this guy is not a victim. He's just someone who means to increase the population.

PEABODY

Don't you think that is too harsh?

LEWELLYN

Hey, what's gotten into you? You becoming one of "them"?

PEABODY

Why can't you see this is a, "but by the grace of God go I" tale?

LEWELLYN

I see it rather as a, "better thee than me" tale.

To tell you the truth, I almost puked when the lady trying to mediate the hubbub became preoccupied picking her nose.

PEABODY

I missed that part.

LEWELLYN

It was right after the father guy pulled a knife and had to be subdued.

PEABODY

Well, I still say this is an important film for anyone to see and try to understand.

LEWELLYN
(disbelieving what he is hearing)

I am going to have to think real hard about continuing to be your partner here. You have flipped, Peabody. Flipped!

PEABODY
(laughing)

Gotcha! You thought I was serious?

This is, by far, the worst film we have had to review. I am sorry I even watched as much of it as I did.

LEWELLYN

Well, that's more like it. What's up next time?

PEABODY

I believe it is a movie about the Titanic. Yeah, "Oh, Why Did I Buy a Ticket for that Boat!".

LEWELLYN

Until next time.
