Host Segments[]
Pre-show: Joel Hodgson addresses the audience and answers questions.
Opening / Host Segment #1 / Invention Exchange: Kinga Forrester and Max address the audience via video. They introduce Synthia and Terry, then show the opening title sequence. Jonah Heston, Tom Servo, and Crow then take the stage. They observe that Synthia seems different. Kinga and Max present their invention - The Watch Out for Snakes Gun, which Synthia and Terry then demonstrate for the live audience. And stand-off ensues but is soon resolved. Jonah's invention is the "Cracker Cracker", a device for breaking crackers into pieces small enough for bits of shredded cheese. He also has the "Super Cracker Cracker", which is just a "leaf blower with an intake valve for crackers".
Host Segment #2 "I Love You Vicky": Inspired by the song "Vickie" from the movie, Jonah and Crow imitate Arch Hall Jr. while Tom extols the virtues of Vicki (played by Synthia). She displays her feminine charm to a member of the audience before Movie Sign.
