REAL EARLY
2AM Moses vs Rodan - Movie, 3 hr.
Moses and his Hebrew sidekicks try to hypothetically defeat the infamous flying monster. Animated parts work well - for Moses.

AFTERNOON
2PM Have Gun Will Travel - Drama, 1 hr.
Paladin steps in it while on the Oregon Trail when he offers to bandage a wounded traveler's calf and the "mama cow" interprets his kind gesture as a play for her attention. Lots of overweight actors in this episode.

EVENING
10PM B-Movie Critique - Talk, 2 hr
Junior Peabody and Hank Zipman discuss and analyze "Moses vs Rodan".

B-MOVIE CRITIQUE

Moses v. Rodan

 

PEABODY

OK everyone, Moses versus Rodan. A, well, religious science fiction 3-hour grind that I, personally, hated.

HANK

Hated? ... Hated? Man, it was great! You got Moses and his minions, each with their own ten commandments-style stone tablets being used as weapons, a flying dinosaur - I guess - and the whole biblical-Japanese terrorism dichotomy going on. Now, I did think that the stone tablet weapons being included via cartoons was just a wee bit lame.

PEABODY

But, Hank, didn't you see the weak old-style rubber monster movements again and again? Why no CGI? It's a modern movie, for crying out loud!

HANK

That's what makes it cool, Peabody. It's so much a zero and far out movie it is back in!

PEABODY

Well, if you say so. I did enjoy when Moses and his people hijacked the Noah's ark type boat and tried to lure Rodan into the huge whirlpool. Now, that worked!

HANK

Wait. I must have missed that part. There was a Noah's ark boat in the movie?

PEABODY

Yeah, but not for long. Moses, never the sailor, got it stuck on the Red Sea rocks and it sunk.

HANK

I must have had to hit the head when that part was on.

PEABODY

I guess. Anyway, the ark's importance was lost on me.

HANK

Maybe someone from the Theater Dept at the University could clue us in.

Anyway, with or without the ark, when Rodan began to spit that tarry substance onto Moses's clean tunic, I thought he was going to flip out!

PEABODY

What do you mean?

HANK

I mean, Moses wears white! Period! You know it, I know it and, most of all, Moses knows it! The last thing he would want would be having his white outter frock get messed up.

PEABODY

Oh, you mean like in the Josey Wales movie when that snake-oil seller got spit on by Wales?

HANK

Yeah. Now that was some dense spit. That Josey Wales could render some nasty tobacco spit, or beef jerky spit, or whatever.

PEABODY

I second that.

But, getting back to this flick, aside from the rather shallow symbolism of religion and terrorism, as I said earlier, this film stunk.

HANK

Well, I guess it wasn't the best, but I think the cartooning was believable and the guy who played Moses's right-hand man, Ethad, I think it was, stuck out beyond even Moses as someone who not only acted as if he intensely feared Rodan but, strangely, idolized him.

PEABODY

Well, we will just agree to disagree.

HANK

You know what? On second thought, maybe I didn't like the movie too much either.

PEABODY

Well, then, I guess we will just agree to agree. Or something like that.

HANK

I agree. I mean, I agree with what you just said.

PEABODY

Until next time, when we will discuss the new western film, "The Outlaw Bobby Fornash", I'll say, so long from Junior Peabody ...

HANK

... And Hank.

PEABODY

Are we still on?
