903: Puma Man
Movie: A man gets pushed out of a window by an Aztec who then calls him the Puma Man. He gives him a belt which apparently belonged to his father and now he has the ability to fly, pretty horribly, but still fly. Now with his powers, he must stop a man who has proof of alien life and plans to use it to his own advantage.
Opening: Servo has "short man's disease." Fortunately, it's treatable with baby aspirin.
Host Segment 1: Pearl plans an elaborate ball (which begins in about 2 and a half hours ago), inviting everyone in the vicinity to her new castle; Brain Guy plans a little get-together at the same time, with Ortega and his cousin Staci as the first guests, coming to watch Sliders. Pearl forces the Mike and the 'bots to mingle among themselves; Servo is the only one who gets into it.
Host Segment 2: With the help of hairdresser Shellie the nanite, Mike opts for "the dry look." His head becomes extremely dry, including sand and a cactus. Poor Mike, he thinks she just went a little heavy on the mouse.
Host Segment 3: Crow and Servo force Mike to don a silly costume and declare him to be "Coatimundi Man." He has all the attendant powers of the mighty Coatimundi, and what powers would you expect a Coatimundi to have?
Host Segment 4: Crow and Servo create a replica of the head of Roger Whitaker, but Mike can't think of anything to do with him even though they control him now. Crow and Servo, peeved, threaten to sic Roger Whitaker on Mike.
End: In the wake of the movie, Crow resigns, and then immediately returns and is granted a free-lance position at lower pay with no benefits. In the castle, Pearl's party is a bust, while Brain Guy's is a huge success; then Roger Whitaker shows up and charms the heck out of Pearl.
Stinger: Puma Man is acting moronish. (when is he not?)
Special Notes: None
