A while ago I posted Battle of the Spices gathering some of the cooler parody of the Old Spice guy commericals. Today I stumble upon the obvious winner...obvious due mainly for my love for all things Muppets. I present for you viewing pleasure "Smell Like a Monster"

The New York Public Library asked improv group Improv Everywhere to recreate Ghostbusters to bring awareness massive budget cut. The stunt was staged at the library's request, but few know what was going on, including security. The library was featured in the Ghostbusters movie, as the location the group first real ghost sighting. To learn more about the NYPL efforts check http://dontclosethebook.nypl.org/

Memorable Guest Stars:
Donald Gibb - Probably best know as Ogre in Revenge of the Nerds
first time Mulder says "I want to believe"
If you like comics and like to listen to podcasts, you should really give " Tom vs. The Flash" a listen. Tom Katers gives us a brief, but hilarious, panel by panel review of D.C.'s The Flash. He lovely points out the goofy and sometimes down right absurdity that were Silver Age comics. Give it a search in iTunes and you wont be disappointed.

I thought the premise was pretty cool. I genetic mutant that a could stretch his body to fit through stight spaces. Spaces like duct works and such to gain entry and like people...for there livers. Yummy.
I even like the way that they "tested" Scully. Where an agent she went to the academy with offers here a chance to leave "Spooky" Mulder and his X-Files behind and join his team. It was even more awesome when Fox shuts down the people that dont care for him that much, with a big old smile on this face.
In the end Scully and Mulder solve the case. Tell the old friend to go pound sand. All in all an enjoyable episode.
not one-hundred percent sure, but I believe there is a picture of Laura Palmer form the crime scene on Mulder's office wall.....
All I can say is "spins a web any size, catches thieves just like fly. Look out..."
Be sure to click the link and watch the stores surveillance footage of the whole thing. Priceless.

This one at first appears to be about alien abduction again. Soon we come to find that it is less about the unknown and more about what's being hidden. We also see the shadowy government is ready to play hard ball if need be.
In the end it had the good character moments that I remember from watching in the part and even a guest appearance by Seth Green
"In brightest day, in blackest night. No evil shall escape my sight.

I have always been a fan of the Robin Hood legend. I like Prince of Thieves, even if Kevin Costner sounds not at all English. This looks awesome!!

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was nice to see that the chemistry between Scully and Mulder was there from the very beginning. One of things that surprised me was that Scully didn't come off as the "everything you say is BS" type that she is usually parodied as. That being said Mulder seemed quite over the top at times, but it work because Duchovny is so likable as Mulder that the over acting, conspiracy talk is almost endearing .
If I had to find one complaint it was the effects. They were very date. Not that there were many in this episode but there was a whirlwind in the first few minutes that slapped you in the face. Easily forgiven thought.
One of the things I really like, and only noticed because I am familiar with the shows mythology, where little touch that are part of something later. Or instance, The Smoking Man, who seemed like a smaller fish then he is revealed to be later. Also Mulder's oral fixation, this time in the form of sunflower seeds.
Episode one was a good start. For the show on the whole and for this little project on which I am embarking. Looking forward to episode two.
Some how I am saddened that it isn't a Delorean. I am still holding out hope that it is a telephone booth with a broken antenna....
