I’m giving you a double dose of the Jimbo Notes today since we had a bonus episode right after “Damon Noyes Month.” It’s hard to compete with the Giant Claw episode, but these two were worthy efforts. It’s funny how Damon took a throwaway comment from a livestream and made it into an episode. Little Shop of Horrors remains one of the few kaiju musicals, at least on film. There’s a King Kong Broadway show, but the music is mediocre and you stay for the life-size animatronic ape. So I hear. I haven’t been able to visit home in New York to see it…mostly because I was in jail, and now I’m globetrotting as a kaiju wrangler. Yep, my storied life continues.
So, about that tiny store filled with scary things:
- I have firsthand experience with alien plants. You know how Biollante dissolved and flew into space? Well, I followed her trail in an FTL ship I’d…borrowed from the Garogas (long story; I don’t want to talk about it). This led me to an unknown planet a few hundred lightyears away. Biollante had since spawned several generations of seedlings and was living peacefully with her “children.” (Don’t tell Dr. Dourif. I refuse to be that weirdo’s space Uber). I landed to take some photos, but some of her offspring attacked me and broke my camera. I barely escaped.
- I do a lot of secret tours, Nate…ones I can’t talk about (not “don’t want to”). Double-hush-hush-top-secret stuff. I don’t want to have to kill you. Or maybe I do? 😛
- My life is now complete: I gave a badge of honor to Damon. May he wear it well.
- You are crazy, Nate. I’ve known this since we met.
- I’ve taught you well, Damon, correcting Nate like that. Just call me Jimbo Kenobi.
- I have to sanitize the mics after every broadcast. That’s why no one ever gets sick from COVID or Nate’s cooties when they guest host on the show. You’re fine, Damon.
- “Frank Oz is frankly…” Ha!
- The other optical effect was in the theatrical ending, Nate. It’s when Seymour kills Audrey II.
- Apparently, I need to get Nate noise-making toys for him to use on the show for his birthday. But I’m not sure our listeners are prepared for that.
- Or are Damon and Raymund the same person?! (Dun-dun-DUN!)
- I don’t want anything cooked up by Dr. Dourif, let alone eat it. I’m already a “fun guy.”
- Clover makes me and others sick because he’s UG-LY! He might be the worst-looking kaiju on the Island!
And now for my notes on S.O.B., er, Son of Blob, er, Beware! The Blob (Bonus Episode 12).
- I still think both of you have cases. For what, I don’t remember. I’ve slept once since this broadcast.
- Travis, the original film was shot in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, and the towns of Chester Springs, Downingtown, Phoenixville, and Royersford.
- 14 years, Travis. That’s how long after the original this was (1958 to 1972).
- The kitten’s name is Sam.
- Making a citizen’s arrest is both less complicated and more complicated than I thought. Read about it on WikiHow.
- Ice rinks are a bit of an engineering marvel, as I read here.
As usual, here are the documents with Nate’s research on both films.
All right, time to keep this Jimmy train a-rollin’ (all night long!) What? I couldn’t resist.
