“You have aroused the three snakes!”
This week the Distinguished Professors watch Rowdy Roddy Piper as the fertile meathead of the future in Hell Comes to Frogtown! Topics covered include a post-post apocalypse movie, the best action movie hero name ever (Sam Hell), identifying the accurate level of sexism for this movie, the butch hotness of Centinella, the one-note instrument of Mr. Piper, the old guys need to explain that the WWE was once the WWF, the eternal question of where pubic hair actually begins, the weird connection between this movie and the awfulness of Rollergator, a Hell Comes to Frogtown – 1988 into in medias res, the same setting used in Kirk’s classic battle againstthe Gorn captain, 80s lingerie does no favors for the skinny, Chekov’s necklace given to Centinella, the incredibly thin metaphor of “the dance of the three snakes,”comparisons with Y: The Last Man and Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death, the solidness of the frog costumes, yet another reference to Mel Gibson’s leather pants, comparisons with Mad Max: Fury Road and Flash Gordon, the old mengo on about classic video stores, a brief detour into polyamory with the ending, and Piper’s inability to say “blouse.”
