Aw, I thought I was going to learn about some quirky fashion and instead, I find itās a movie that
depicts a post-apocalyptic world ā¦ where barbarians (the āBrutalsā) worship āZardozā, a stone god with the power to grant either death or eternal life, and who - in the opening scene - declares: āThe gun is good! The penis is evil!ā
Huh.
Zardoz is one of the very best. I always wondered what kind of crazy debt/gambling problem/addiction/divorce settlement Sean Connery must have had to convince James Bond to transform info thisā¦
Well, you gotta admit, the fashion is pretty quirkyā¦
I stand thoroughly corrected.
āIām sorry, Mr. Connery, but Cameo already has a lead singer.ā
You know, I didnāt realize until a year ago or so that Zardoz is supposed to be a (terrible) bit of wordplay on āWizard of Ozā
Surrender Dorothy!
No, I still havenāt seen Zardozā¦so many classics I forgot to mention in that thread about gaps in movie-seeing stuff.
But I have Beastmaster on deck soon! One day Iāll be a real boy!
One time I didnāt realize that exposition was the part of a movie where they tell you things straight out so you know whatās going on.
Well thereās your problem. 
Well, I sure do appreciate the vote of confidence, Chief! 
McCloud!
Okay, number oneā¦who brought this in here?
Number twoā¦HOW DARE YOU.
The situation has been rectified.
Shipments of Pumpkin Spice Zimaā¢ are en route.
Oh, is it rainy day ipecac time again?
Wait, to where? If itās to the bowels of the earth to spare humanity, then thatās fine.
If itās to hereā¦
It wasā¦other kids.
But, little known fact, theyāve secretly replaced that vile syrup with gasoline.
Nobody would drink it anyway, but fair warning.
Itās for repelling golems and such, in the Molotov fashion.
Thatās one of the reasons I keep the limited edition durian-flavored Otter Pops around for.
Where are the damned cheese straws?
Iām hungry, dammit!
If some amphibious beast consumed them, I submit that overfeeding it might be an appropriate āaccidentalā summum bonum.
Plus, the explosion would be worth it.
