Home VHS: Bauman and Triskel April 8

General

Overview

The player can reduce boredom by -5 for each line of dialog when in the vicinity of a television playing the VHS.

The VHS can be used with an appropriate television to play the dialog of Bauman and Triskel, the two renowned movie critics and hosts of this show. They are rewieving Dying Strike, an action packed spy movie. Bauman opens the discussion by praising the movie and its lead actor: Pierce Daniels, bringing life to the main charachter John Spiral. From the tape, it is understood that Shaun Moore, who played as John Spiral in the original movie Operation Fort Knox, is an extremely talented actor. Triskel critisizes Dying Strike, finding the movie "totally absurd". In the end with the Bauman liking the film and Triskel the opposite, they end up disagreeing.

Transcript

Pile o' Crepe:
♫ Pile o' Crepe! Pile o' Crepe! ♫

♫ Jaunty saxophone music. ♫

Triskel:
Hi, I'm Roger Triskel, movie critic for the Louisville Sun-Times...

Bauman:
...and I'm Susan Bauman, movie critic at the Louisville Dispatch.

Triskel:
This week, we're reviewing Dying Strike, secret agent John Spiral's...

...seventeenth outing. So what did you think of Dying Strike, Susan?

Bauman:
I enjoyed it, Roger. The behind-the-scenes drama hasn't shown on screen.

Triskel:
What did you think of Spiral's new actor, Pierce Daniels?

Bauman:
I thought he did a great job. He's no Shaun Moore, but who is?

The dialogue sparkled in a way it hasn't in these last few movies.

And I thought Spiral and the villain being brothers actually worked.

Triskel:
Well, I'm going to have to disagree with you there, Susan.

I found that, and many elements of the movie, totally absurd.

The cinema burst out laughing when they saw the exploding shoe.

Bauman:
That was supposed to be funny!

Triskel:
I don't think it was Susan.

Bauman:
The series has always been tongue-in-cheek, even back in the '60s.

We might be more cynical here in the '90s, but the movie won me over.

Triskel:
I wavered a little, but I'm going to have to give Dying Strike a no.

Bauman:
It's a very big yes from me.

Triskel:
There we have it. Join us next time for our review of Return of the Nightwatcher!

Music:
♫ Jaunty saxophone music. ♫
