Normally, I love this show. Even when I'm not familiar with the comedian, of not a fan, there's something enjoyable about the banter between Jerry and his guests. I like the stories of how it was starting out, and some of the funny stuff that happens along the way.

This was reminiscent of the episode with "Kramer," from the old Seinfeld show. That didn't work too well, but it had it's moments. Sadly, this one does not. I smiled/lightly chuckled five times in twenty minutes. I counted. The character of "Miranda Sings" (or whatever) just doesn't work.

The only time the show really came alive was at the very end, when the actress underneath actually started talking about how the character affected her life. Could have flipped the show. Had one minute of Miranda, and nineteen of Colleen.

A rare, but serious misstep of an episode, in an otherwise fascinating show.

Remember Gremlins? Wasn't that a fun movie? And Gremlins 2: Electric Gremlinpoo? Or whatever? Wasn't that one fun, too? Well here comes a movie from some people who hoped you saw Gremlins 1 & 2, Ghoulies 1 through 4, Troll 1 & 2, and even some of the lesser Muppet movies, and yet still crave more!!!! Somehow, a bunch of hobgoblins have been locked up in a film vault in a film studio (coincidence? I don't think so...), and they must be kept in there or the mayhem they cause will destroy the earth.

So, someone is constantly leaving the door open.

No, seriously. Every time they go towards the vault, the door is already open.

The hobgoblins mostly do things to your mind, that way they don't have to actually interact with people, because....Well that stuff's expensive! There's also about five people in the movie, and all of about five sets. Not much happens. Perfect for riffing. I saw this as part of Elvira's 13 Nights of Halloween on Hulu, but MST3K did a much better job. Either way, don't watch it without a guide. It could be dangerous to your mental health.
