It's Christmas on the satellite of love, as we see from the fun opening scenes.
So there's a Christmas movie to watch.
An Italian movie dubbed - you do rather quickly get used to said dubbing which isn't as bad as it first appears - involving a plucky lawyer helping santa beat a grumpy trillionaire. Complete with songs, bored looking shop girls and the kind of children in films who kids might like but grown ups will find irritating.
As a bad movie, a good choice. It will stick in the mind.
Not the strongest episode, though. It doesn't click till the last third. Too many of the riffs pre that are chuckles or smiles but few laugh out louds, and it does take one joke that is funny once, and make it a running one. But it's not funny twice.
The first satellite skit isn't as good as it thinks it is, either.
But:
The riffs all start to hit home in the last third. The second and third skits are terrific, and the last few minutes after the movie are utterly brilliant.
We do get some continuation of things set up last time as well. And there are some very good interactions with the screen while riffing.
So not the best of these, but ultimately worth a watch.
