And in 9th place in the munch anticipated MT10 it’s a movie with Tony Zarindast’s stink all over it.
It stars one of the lesser Estevez clan.
He’s not taking souls with Robert Z’Dar so that must mean…

In this movie, some guys are doing some random digging in the desert when one of them cuts himself on a wurwolf, er, werewilf, er, warewoof… Skinwalker. After getting patched up, his condition from bad bad to bad bad bad bad bad.

After the initial host segment where a post “thinking he’s James Lipton” Mike manages to escape the satellite. Only problem is he crash lands in pearls castle. She sends him back up to watch the movie.

Starting with the obvious, puntastic “werewolf? I dunno, you had him last” the episode gets off to a decent start, later becoming laugh out loud funny.
There’s some fairly amusing references. And early on we can see what the early running joke’s going to be. Joe Estevez being… well, Joe Estevez. Although he disappears from the movie about 20 minutes in.
The Native American crying, via Crow, because “there’s so much liter on the highway” type jokes were good while they lasted. Shame he bit the Coors Light so early.
And of course there are the obvious “If she scratches his belly his leg will shake” dog jokes.

The observational humor is spot on. “He’s almost as hairy as Robin Williams”, “It’s the third straight week of a full moon”, “Chubby Ramone”, “That jacket makes him look look a werewaiter” and “It’s a Maurice Sendak creature” are probably my favourites. And of course, the Uri Geller-like Yuri resembling the Frito Bandito, but with interchangeable hair.

Like Mitchel, this episode also teaches us many, many things. If it wasn’t for Mike and the Bots I’d never know that Ray Liotta smells like apples. Or that Adolph Hitler’s brother, Chip would be great in a werewolf movie.
And if it wasn’t for the movie itself, I’d never have learned that Santa, while off xmas duty, is a member of the Arizona Militia who personally knows that Count Dracula is a faggot. Or that there are Cars that sound like wolves and security guards that honk like old car horns. Or that hospital rooms and bar bathrooms seem to be the same place.

The movie ends with a nice medley of songs sung to the rhythm of the closing credits’ music.

As for the host segments, they’re mostly great. The were-crow parts are funny (when Mike’s asking Crow what to expect as his transformation continues, the answer “a voice that changes every 7 years or so” is one of my favorite lines ever), the Mads are, too. But the song segment is a little weak. The “casting a werewolf movie with lesser siblings” segment was great.

Here’s a few more of my favourite lines.
“Steven Tyler’s Skull”
To Joe Estevez “In fact, why don’t you just sit out the rest of the movie”
“Skinwalker. Texas Skin ranger.”
If it was a lycanthrope “I’d have to look the word up”
“They’re establishing the hell out of this building.”
“An American Werewolf in Traffic”
“If it’s martin, shoot to kill, then I can be in Spawn”
“People say rack to me a lot”
“I can’t believe people call me a psycho. I’m gonna take those people’s heads and carve them into ashtrays”
“Surprise ending written and conceived by a tapeworm“
