Episode 309 - "The Tenth Commandment Is 'Magnets Be Magic, Yo!'"

Welcome movie goers to the Tribeca-sized Movie Themed 9th episode of the 3rd Fair Use Law case file as this week we wax cinematic about all things that gleam our attention from the Silver Screen. Among the topics for the Triceratops Tribunal this week include Iron Man 2 being the place to be amongst our geeky brethren, the top secret JJ Abrams trailer before Iron Man 2 that may or may not be Cloverfield 2 (and which may or may not break Dan’s heart depending on the outcome), the letdown that is actually watching the Human Centipede versus just hearing about it, 90s Super Sentai Shows that weren’t Power Rangers and how they helped shape a better tomorrow, Nine Inch Nails’ long overdue involvement with Tetsuo the Iron Man, and just who invented the concept of musical side projects involving someone’s wife singing anyways?

Edit: I promised during the podcast that I'd post the official JJ Abrams trailer as soon as I can when it hits the interwebs. Luckily for you, for the time being, here it is. From producer Steven Spielberg and director JJ Abrams I give you Cloverfield 2: Electric Boogaloo... AKA Super 8, a movie that has nothing to do with Cloverfield:



What better way to start a collection of show notes than with a insane clown tribute to the miracles of the world like... uh... pelicans trying to steal your cellphone? Okay, juggalos, I'll give you a pass on that one, but I'm pretty sure a whole religion will agree that the pyramids weren't so much magic as slave labor:



After that Insane Clown overdose, I do believe we need a chaser of pure genius. To that effect, I give you the greatest person who ever lived in the history of forever - the Japanese Scat Man:



Keeping the music going and pushing it to 11, here is the official music video for Art School's Lost Control, the theme to the new Japanese gore-comedy Robogeisha, featuring all the insanely over the top and oddly sexual visuals you'd expect from a movie with said title:



What spawned all these movies like Robogeisha into the world? Why it had to be the original humanoid combat horror movie, Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Thanks to Quentin Tarantino never being held up by the Pussy Wagon, we now have another sequel to Tetsuo coming out in almost entirely English, the Human Bullet:



If you like KMFDM, you are probably familiar with the lovely Lucia and her wonderfully female high notes of industrial grrl fury. What you are probably less familiar with is her prior band, the alternative rock band Drill. Here's their video for their second single, Innuendo, which gives you a pretty good idea of where Lucia was before she met Sascha and changed arena rock forever:



And finally, as promised during the podcast episode, I give to you the secret gag dub of VR Troopers. Legend has it that, after finding out their show was canceled and they were soon to be fired, the entire cast got liquored up and re-entered the ADR studio to redub their already offbeat sentai show. The results? Drunktastic:
