REAL EARLY
2AM Moses Meets da Vinci - Movie, 3 hr.
Moses is chronologically brought forward into the Renaissance to do battle with the famous polymath/sculptor, Leonardo da Vinci, in a winner-take-all freehand aphorism stone-chisseling competition. All contemporary short phrases are in play except those deemed too over-used: "The early bird catches the worm" and "You can't fight city hall".

AFTERNOON
2PM My Mother the Car - Sitcom, 30 min.
Car owner, David Crabtree, swears his radio is inhabited by a slick morning DJ who, though never able to garner a significant share of the drive-time AM audience, does a perfect voice imitation of Crabtree's deceased mother, Zelda.

EVENING
10PM B-Movie Critique - Talk, 2 hr
Junior Peabody and Joe-Bob Lewellyn discuss and analyze "Moses Meets da Vinci".

B-MOVIE CRITIQUE

Moses meets da Vinci

 

PEABODY

OK, it's Moses. Again! The ten-commandment carving guru's adventures are being wrung out to their last dime. I thought this movie was so ridiculous, it was funny.

LEWELLYN

Man, I agree. It was great! You got Moses and his stone tablets - again - and the great inventor, paintor and sculptor, Leonardo da Vinci, lined up against each other in a stone sculpting race. The stone chips fly and, although the soundtrack is of a horrible quality, I believe they allowed the expletives to also remain in the film. Moving.

PEABODY

Moving? How about hillarious? To hear da Vinci throwing Italian cursing at Moses, who, although he has been somehow transported into the Renaissance, understands nothing but Egyptian and Hebrew, is quite bizarre.

LEWELLYN

But, if it weren't for the subtitles when da Vinci spoke, or cursed, the whole film would have been mighty weak.

PEABODY

Mighty weak.

And, when the gong sounded to end the carving race, it actually looked like old Moses had held his own - almost. He chose to try to carve the phrase, "If you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas", but omitted a key word and ended with, "If you lie down with dogs, you wake up fleas". Made sense, but a gross error. Not sure the real Moses would have been that careless.

LEWELLYN

And da Vinci smartly chose a very short also dog-centered phrase and then decided to try to garner extra points by adding new ending words: "A barking dog never bites. Well, almost never. I mean, not usually."

PEABODY

Yeah, Leonardo should have stopped while he was ahead.

LEWELLYN

When they awarded Moses the prize for finishing first, da Vinci was super irritated and it looked like he just walked out, leaving the movie without any kind of closure.

PEABODY

Yeah, it ruined the whole thing. At that point, you had to ask yourself, "What?".

LEWELLYN

I still say the Italian cursing was the highlight.

PEABODY

There's always next time, right?

And, speaking of next time, we will see and discuss a real quirky movie: "Let's Go!".

LEWELLYN

I can hardly wait.

PEABODY

I second that.

LEWELLYN

Are we still on?
