Episode Discussion - Schlock Star

[koosie]

It would have been hard not to do an episode like this really where you can just throw in lots of music references like the movie references in the T-Rexatron ep. I'm looking foward to watching it again to see what I missed.

I quite liked Pizza Party but would like to have heard more material. For a moment I thought we might have a spin off on our hands like a sort of cartoon version of 'The Monkees' Show.* What an odd thing for a bunch of Imaginary Friends to sing about, though. Taco Fiesta were pretty good too. If they could carry it on for 20 minutes at a time they'd be a good support act for Steve Reich or Terry Riley.

Funnily enough I'd thought of Bootsy and George Clinton with regards to this episode but with regard to one of Bloo's outfits. His accent was just terrific.

Anyway, thanks for letting us see this and the other new episodes, Sparky.

*The Monkees - 60s Band created for a TV show. Argueably the first manufactured boy-band. The Monkees were about more than just the music, they stood for social and political upheaval.
