Uproarious set-pieces? Check.
Apocalyptic slapstick? Check.
Outrageous disguises? Check.
Puerile schtick? Check.
Hoary punchlines? Check.
Inappropriate humor? Check.
Over-the-top accents? Mais oui!
Roy and I discuss the most flamboyant of the Inspector Clouseau films, “The Pink Panther Strikes Again” (1976). Former Chief Inspector Dreyfus goes to insane lengths to eliminate his bumbling nemesis, ramping up the violence and destruction and throwing the door open to the broadest of gags.
Some may regard the humor as dated, but it’s still funny as hell. If we’re not laughing, we’re crying or fighting. Personally, I’d rather laugh.
Here’s last night’s conversation on Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner.
This Friday, Roy’s special guest will be filmmaker Jeffrey Morris, who’s now deep into his “Space: 1999” documentary focusing on the Eagle.
There may be one or two other interviews during the month of August, but in all likelihood Roy and I won’t reunite (on the show, anyway) until September for our jaw-dropping 200th episode.
In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your summer!
