Girl In Gold Boots
Sleazeball Buz (short for "Buzz," I think) picks up a waitress in Nevada and takes her to Los Angeles where he promises her his sister will make her a star because she's famous, which turns out to mean she dances in a sleazy strip club run by a really oily guy and his henchman, The Count from Sesame Street, and is all pilled up and burned out, so the waitress girl becomes a dancer and ends up taking her job as lead dancer, meanwhile Buz gets into the drug trade with Mr. Oily and The Count, and the draft dodger named Critter they picked up along the way gets his dream job as a janitor, but then Buz kills a guy at the county jail and steals a bunch of drugs, but then conscientious objector Critter beats everyone up and calls the cops, then joins the military and everyone lives happily ever after, except for the drug addicts and everyone who was killed along the way. The end.
The Host Segments feature a storyline about Pearl being audited by the Guild of Calamitous Intent or something. The representative looks like Tom Petty (it's MST3K staff member Paul Chaplin) and isn't impressed, until he sees Observer, inspired by the movie, doing a go-go dance. Bill Corbett seemed to have way too much fun for my comfort.
Buz, Mr. Oily, and The Count. | Pearl gets approved. |
The DVD pack that contained this episode,
Lots of good riffing, mostly fun Host Segments, and, of course, a bad movie.
This episode is a winner.
