1002: The Girl In Gold Boots
Movie: A thug named Buzz meets a woman named Michele who wants to be a dancer. Together they go to Los Angeles and she gets to be a dancer while Buzz becoms a drug dealer. Most of the movie is just dancing.
Opening: Crow wears a "WWBSMD" bracelet -- 'What Would Buffy St. Marie Do?" His answer to a hypothetical moral dilemma: write a folk song. An odd shift to the castle: Pearl warns she's about to become a fully-accredited mad scientist.
Host Segment 1: Pearl tries her darndest to act like a mad scientist, as a mad scientist inspector is visiting. She shocks Bobo, gives Brain Guy a latex hump, and talks Mike and the 'Bots into overreacting to the movie. When she starts hitting Brain Guy, the inspector nods approvingly.
Host Segment 2: Crow dresses as Buzz, Servo as Michele; Crow tries to exact revenge (for what? Who knows?) on Mike by making Mike pour beer on his most prized possessions, as in the movie. Those turn out to be Mike's beer stein and then Crow himself.
Host Segment 3: Crow's legs are all that are visible as he dances provocatively, wearing gold boots with that creepy music playing, and apparently sporting a tiny bikini. Mike's outraged; the 'Bots accuse him of being uncomfortable acknowledging Crow as a sexual creature.
Host Segment 4: Mimicking the film, Mike sings a folk song in front of a window as it rains. Crow keeps appearing, telling him that the water has caused a fire. Mike's oblivious and sings; Crow and Servo finally extinguish the fire.
End: Everybody on the SOL dresses like Leo; they're embarrassed. In the castle, the inspector concludes that Pearl's experiment is a failure -- until he sees Brain Guy in a dress, dancing. He accredits Pearl as a mad scientist, "conditionally."
Stinger: Joan: "Oh God, I wish I had my pretty mind back."
Special Notes: It's rumored that Bill Corbett enjoyed wearing the dress.
