Shocked & Applaud

Val meets some hairy bois, who immediately get the SoCal 80's makeover treatment. Goldbloom does his best goldbloom while blue glooming.  Oh, and surprise -- Damon Wayans is totally black, so he has to carry out a dance competition.

If your ears aren't burning for more, we don't know how to reach your out-of-this-earth's-touch heart, Applauder.  But don't say we didn't blurp blop boo beep you first.

Yeah, we speak alien. We took a class. Gina Davis taught it. It was nice.Have some feedback for us?  Email us at [email protected] or visit these fine Web establishments:

And now for something completely different, Applauders!  From the Children's Classic, "The Neverending Story" to the suspiciously non-child friend title of "Earth Girls Are Easy", it should become clear to you soon that Season 2 is going to be a wild mashup of other-worldly film reviews.

Join us on the first stretch of our review, where we should probably admit first -- the aliens don't even show up in our conversation until next week. First, we have like a billion breakup songs to sing together.

Wait, you're still interested?
