Some people might see a movie like Star Trek: The Motion Picture and think, "This movie's boring, I wonder what's on Sleuth." I saw it and thought "This movie's boring, I gotta watch this with Chris!" And watch it we did, though I wouldn't say we were...energized? Get it? Energized? Star Trek? Eh? Eh? Eh.
Anyway if you're a fan of ponderous science-fiction with no sense of pacing, and of two goofballs doing terrible James Doohan impressions while drinking straight Coconut Jack, this movie and this Gymkommentary are for you. And if you're not, may we suggest our upcoming sci-fi reality show V'Ger-sey Shore, about a spaceship full of Gorilla Juiceheads who encounter a mysterious intelligence on the edge of space (i.e. Belmar, New Jersey).

You guys are good. This was damn funny. I was laughing so hard during the wormhole sequence I was almost in tears.
Please do more Star Trek. My first choice would be Star Trek: Insurrection. It would certainly benefit from some good riffing. But also because it almost never gets talked about. It's like the Korean war of Star Trek films.
Okay. Seriously. If you're going to be this sporadic, you have GOT to at least get a working RSS feed. This is like giving up on Santa because he didn't come at Christmas and then he comes in March, but you're not expecting it and your toys sit under the coffee table for two months until one day you go, "Holy crap! Santa's been here and left just what I wanted!"
I guess what I'm saying is: William Shatner is the greatest man who ever lived.
Sadly I can't find the correct version of this film to sync. My roommate's blu-ray version isn't correct nor is the Netflix streaming version. Alas!
Great stuff.
More Please!
Great work! This was a lot of fun!
Please please please guys do another movie. I have collected all that you have released and re-authored them to DVD I have watched them all a couple times and would love to hear more.
"Permission to cum on your face?" That busted me up LOL
I hope you do more movies, i love your commentaries. The skype thing is kind of hard to listen to though.
I enjoyed this post, thanks for sharing.
