309. The Amazing Colossal Man (1957)

After a long-winded explanation on Glen’s condition that concludes with “in layman’s terms…”
Crow: He’s really big.

Simple, but effective. :slight_smile:

You people…must know…that I’ve never considered that when watching this movie.

I really can’t thank either of you for that observation, though, you understand?

THEY RUINED THE FRANCHISE! They just brought in a whole bunch of clowns who didn’t understand and respect the ACU (Amazing Colossal Universe) and just made up a bunch of crap so they could cash in without ever considering what made us love Lieutenant Colonel Glen Manning in the first place!!1!1!!2!!

This episode introduced me to another behind-the-scenes industry term, like extras shouting: “Rhubarb!” in crowd scenes: when they’re in the airplane hangar, Crow blurts out: “Hey, check out Mr Stage Business over there!” at an extra that was furiously fiddling with a bunch of props for no discernable reason.

I’m so glad after this season they figure out that lip-smacking, food-slurping, and dog-panting noises are not actually comedy.
