RW736 - April Fool's Day Rewatch - April Fool's Day (1986)

 

In this episode of The April Fool's Day Rewatch, Cory and Eoghan find the pranks quite extreme as they discuss April Fool's Day (1986).

Trailer:

Our Favourite Trivia:

Clayton Rohner and Deborah Goodrich previously worked together in the movie Just One Of The Guys where Clayton's character had a crush on Deborah's character.

At the film's beginning, Griffin O'Neal's Skip character is blamed for a prank-turned-accident that leaves a ferryman disfigured. In a bizarre case of life imitating art, O'Neal was indicted on manslaughter charges the following year for a drug-induced boating mishap that resulted in the death of Francis Ford Coppola's son Gian-Carlo Coppola.

There are several clues through the film which foreshadow the twist ending: 1. In the very first scene, Muffy can be seen propping open the window in the cellar through which Kit and Rob crawl in and discover the clues. This was deliberate and crucial to the climax she had planned. 2. Nan says she met Muffy in the Drama Society. Her acting ability proved to be a vital asset in order to portray her fictitious twin sister, Buffy. 3. Deborah Foreman's nails are painted red through the entirety of the movie, a subtle clue that Muffy and Buffy are the same person. 4. Muffy/Buffy announces that the water main must be broken; however, later in the evening, when Nikki is packing her bags, she absent-mindedly turns on the sink and gets sprayed in the face with water, a clear indication that the water is working fine. 5. All the kills are off screen

An additional final sequence in the film, present in Walton's original cut, had the group leaving the island, and Skip enacting an actual murder of Muffy, wanting to take their familial inheritance for himself. Paramount executives disliked this dark turn, and mandated that this final sequence be excised so that the film could end on a high note, with the characters celebrating after the revelation of Muffy's elaborate prank.

Another scripted ending saw everyone leave Muffy’s house, then they plot to prank her back. However, she is tipped off by the ferryman who overhears the scheme. Their prank to scare her supposedly fails, but one of them emerges behind her to cut her throat, but this too is a prank. The sequence was thought to be too long, so producer Frank Mancuso Jr. tacked on the similar yet shorter ending.

What's Up Next?

The early 2000's brought us a remake, so let's find out how they updated the concept!

RW735 - Eureka Rewatch S04E05-06 - Crosstrosity

 

In this episode of The Eureka Rewatch, Cory and Tom are out in the field training their AI as they discuss season 4 episodes 5 & 6, Crossing Over and Momstrosity.

Crossing Over:

Written by: Paula Yoo

Directed by: Michael Robison

Original airdate: August 6, 2010

Synopsis:  

Jack commiserates with Henry about having feelings for Alison and his annoyance with the competition for her affections from Grant while Henry confesses his nervousness about Grace coming back from her conference. Fargo shows up, nervous, anxiously awaiting their big guest, Claudia from the secret government building Warehouse 13, where they deal with mystical magical artifacts from throughout time. Fargo explains that Claudia is there to pick up his goo, which will be used to stabilize her artifacts during transportation.

Grant meanwhile is smoking like a chimney much to the asthmatic Henry’s chagrin. Together he and Henry manage to use the last transistor from 47 to activate the bridge device for just a moment, giving them hope that they will be able to get it working, if not to get back to the past, then at least to explore the future. Grace comes home and shares an awkward reunion with Henry, calling him out on his standoffishness.

Alison helps Grant, who continually comes onto her, to try to stop smoking by using a nanobot device which basically gives him a shock when he starts smoking and will work to purge the nicotine from his body.

As Claudia gets a tour from Fargo and company at GD, a sudden disturbance happens and giant trees suddenly appear inside of the building. Henry discovers they are trees indigenous to Eureka. Grace and Henry share another awkward moment. Grace asks Jack about what’s going on with Henry but he tries to explain it away.

At Cafe Diem, Jo suddenly collapses and after Allison checks her out at GD, they recover an unfired bullet from 1947 that appeared suddenly inside of her just like the trees appeared. Later on still, a fighter plane from 47 appears inside of Cafe Diem.

Jack follows a lead but the scientist under investigation is cleared when she reveals that the objects showing up show signs of wormhole activity. Jack sends Fargo and Claudia to check out some more surges while Henry tells Jack that the disturbances could be because of what he and Grant were working on with the bridge device.

As Claudia scans the area, a disturbance occurs and suddenly they find a huge fence has appeared around them with a sign saying that mines are present. As they go to move away Claudia ends up stepping on one. Fargo uses their scanner and PDA to create a mine nullifier and she is rescued, landing on top of Fargo and kissing him. Unfortunately that pressure causes Fargo’s head to activate another mine. Jack shows up after Jo investigated surges from her hospital bed. He manages to use a defuser to save them and Fargo and Claudia kiss.

Henry theorizes that the timelines could collapse with everyone being torn apart molecule by molecule. Grant starts coughing worse and worse and then starts glowing as they realize that he himself is the one pulling the objects forward in time. Suddenly a nuclear missile appears in another disturbance, and they decide they have to try and stabilize Grant. Fargo’s goo is a no go and Grant’s body begins to shut down but he presses them to keep going. Henry quickly reprograms Allison’s nanobots to purge Grant of the exotic particles and it finally works, sending all the past objects to disappear and return to 1947.

Claudia and Fargo share a nice goodbye and a kiss, Grant and Alison share a drink, Jack and Jo share another night of tv and Guy talk, and Henry apologizes to Grace for his actions that hurt her and then invites her to slow dance with him, which won’t cause her to want to still kiss him and want to be “with” him at all (insert eye roll here).

Advanced Research:

Why did Eureka and Warehouse 13 do a crossover? Allison Scagliotti (Claudia) and Neil Grayston (Fargo) met at Comic-Con in 2009. They realized they had instant, nerdy chemistry and a very similar sense of humor. When the showrunners and Syfy executives saw how well the actors got along, they realized it would be a fun cross-promotional event to blend the two worlds. The crossover officially established that Eureka (which focused on high-tech government science) and Warehouse 13 (which focused on historical, semi-magical artifacts) existed in the exact same fictional universe.

Fans have long joked or theorized that Claudia and Zane must be secret cousins or long-lost siblings because both Donovans share a lot of the same DNA; they are sarcastic, tech-savvy genius hackers with a rebellious streak and a total disregard for protocol. Both Eureka and Warehouse 13 shared showrunners and crew members at various points, so the matching last name was likely just a fun nod or a coincidence written into the script when the crossover happened, rather than a reference to a shared real-world namesake.

Claudia was played by Allison Scagliotti, best known for her role in Warehouse 13 for 60 episodes. She was also in a show called Stitchers as a main cast member, along with Sally Richardson-Whitfield (secret government agency solves crimes by entering the minds of recently deceased individuals, 31/31). She was the lead in a movie called Chastity Bites (1600’s countess bathes in the blood of virgins to stay young and survives to present day and continues her ritual). She is also a musician and a ballet dancer who would often play around Toronto while filming W13. IRL she has a relationship with Saul Rubinek, much like Claudia and Artie on the show do.

Dr. Wheeler was played by Olivia Chang who has had a lot of experience on different series like Warrior (during the Tong Wars in the late 1800s, Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy from China, immigrates to San Francisco and becomes a hatchet man for the most powerful tong in Chinatown, 30/30), the Jason Momoa led series See (far in a dystopian future, the human race has lost the sense of sight, and society has had to find new ways to interact, build, hunt, and to survive. All of that is challenged when a set of twins are born with sight, 16/24), Deadly Class (Marcus, a disillusioned teen, is recruited into a storied high school for assassins. He is forced to maintain his moral code while navigating a ruthless curriculum and vicious social cliques, 6/10), The Stand (2020, 4/9), Marco Polo (movie, then series 2014-16, 19/20), and The Staff Room (go behind the doors of a high school teacher’s lounge, 12/12). She was a lead in the movie SWAT: Under Siege (a SWAT compound comes under fire from an international terrorist who relentlessly and violently pursues a mystery man who was apprehended by Seattle SWAT after a raid went horribly wrong), a bit higher on the cast list of Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (Grace MacCaullay battles old wounds with her estranged sister Faith MacCaullay while rival occult dynasties hunt them through a deadly contest that promises power, survival, and betrayal before dawn), Lucky Star (2024, when reformed gambler Lucky falls victim to a tax scam, he returns to playing poker to recover his losses while his family struggles to make ends meet), Deeper: The Rebirth (A journalist is caught up in a woman's brutal revenge against two men who mistreated her in the past), Unspoken: Diary of an Assassin (2017), Sheltering Season (2022, a woman finds herself isolated in her remote home with her brother who is seeking forgiveness for the darkest moment in their family history), Skye & Chang (when a stunt goes horribly wrong, Mia, the leading lady, believes she is a target for murder and hires Chang as her bodyguard. Meanwhile, Kisik, a young scientist, is desperate for Skye to help her uncover an alien conspiracy to destroy humanity. The two women have superpowers or something), Messages Deleted (Matthew Lillard, a screenwriting teacher is forced to live out the plot of a screenplay idea he stole from a student, who now seeks revenge), and The Rape Of Nanking (2007, In 1937, Japanese forces invaded Nanking, China, committing mass rape and murder in unprecedented violence. Depicts a young woman's fight to expose this horrific historical atrocity).

Momstrosity:

Written by: Terri Hughes Burton & Ron Milbauer

Directed by: Michael Rohl

Original airdate: August 13, 2010

Synopsis: 

As Jo showers, she suddenly finds herself being watched by Kevin’s school project: taking care of a small AI powered robot called an Emo. Deputy Andy shows up but Jack hands him off to Jo who also says that she didn’t call him. SARAH offers to help Deputy Andy do a diagnostic to check for malfunctions and he plugs into her mainframe.

Jack, thinking it may help the boy open up about his possible curiosity about the fairer sex, asks Alison to let Kevin go with him, Henry, and Fargo on a camping trip, and she agrees. Henry backs out of the camping trip to help out Grace, asking Jack if he is going to make a move on Allison or let Grant sweep her away from him. 

Grace's project involves reading short term memories and when she mentions the word elation, he has a memory of seeing Grace. She is flattered and jumps into his arms but he again balks at her. He reveals the truth to her about his time travel but she is disbelieving and angry, leaving the room. Henry chases after her but the memory probes on his head overload and knocks him down.

Meanwhile Allison runs an experiment with Larry, measuring and mapping parts of his brain, but the machine goes haywire and starts to prepare to dissect Larry’s brain. Allison manages to shut it off and Zane discovers there is a foreign subroutine in the programming that wasn’t there before. Given that he’s received other calls about similar situations they are trying to find the source so they can get rid of it.

Jo gets a call about a problem at the loading docks and finds Kevin’s Emo with Tiny, the bug-like robot that is being sent to NASA. She retrieves it for Kevin and as they get ready to leave, Andy asks Jack about how to woo a woman. Grant asks if he can come along and Jack first refuses but once Grant asks Alison what her plans are, he changes his mind and takes him along.

At the campsite, Jack collects everyone’s cellphones and technology so they can rough it, but Fargo has set up his Ai powered tent, his own version of “glamping.” Kevin is immediately bored and Jack asks him about what happened with Emo and Jo but Kevin doesn’t seem to know. Grant sides with Kevin that they shouldn’t be talking about it and Kevin insults Jack. Grant pulls Kevin away to learn how to start a campfire. Jack shows up later with a piece of technology to start up the fire, changing his mind on its use during their trip. He and Grant start to trade insults back and forth, talking of Grant’s date with Alison and Jack countering with how Alison trusts Jack’s judgement, until Grant pushes Jack about his relationship and attraction for Allison. Kevin slips away, and after they find him later, Kevin reveals he is angry that Jack never told him. When Kevin asks if Jack loves his mother, he hesitates and Kevin walks off back to camp, angry.

Jo responds to a problem at Cafe Diem and it’s revealed that Vincent’s Ai clone is refusing to serve customers what they ordered, only giving them healthy options. While there, Andy shows up and begins reciting a love poem to Jo. 

Grace talks with Henry and asks him if he’s in love with her and he says he was starting to get to know her. He tries to explain why he couldn’t tell her the truth but she’s angry because he is basically a stranger, and wants her own Henry back to which he says he wishes he could.

When Kevin and company get back to camp they find Fargo has been trapped by the ai tent who did not want Fargo to go outside of it, and Fargo warns them he saw something in the woods.

Back at GD, after SARAH calls Jo asking if Andy had mentioned her, they realize that the subroutine came from SARAH who wanted Andy to like her and gave him additional programming taken from Emo so he could experience feelings and emotional attachment. Jo and her team head out to try and track down Tiny who escaped from the transport truck.

At the campsite, Tiny shows up and starts chasing them. They manage to elude Tiny with Jack acting as a distraction. Fargo, Grant, and Kevin make it to the car with Tiny racing after them. They manage to pick up Jack and use the car’s communication system to learn from Alison that they have a trap set for Tiny. When they reach the trap, Tiny grabs Kevin and holds him down, ready to strike, but Alison yells at it to stop. Tiny repeats her words and they realize that Tiny just wants Emo, having been infected with the emotional attachment programming.

Zane ends up fixing the AI systems with Andy reluctant to erase his new emotions. Zane agrees to let him keep his emotions and keep it quiet, thinking it would be good to have a friend in law enforcement. Jack later tells Kevin that he does indeed love Alison and Kevin says it’s ok with him then if they want to date. Jack tells Grant to not start planning any weddings yet while Grant says may the best man win.

RW734 - Eureka Rewatch S04E03-04 - All the O2

 

In this episode of The Eureka Rewatch, Cory and Tom attack their self worth as they discuss season 4 episodes 3 & 4, All the Rage and The Story O2.

All The Rage:

Written by: Kira Snyder

Directed by: Michael Rohl

Original airdate: July 23, 2010

Synopsis:  

Fargo freaks out trying to deal with General Mansfield since he doesn’t know all the details of what the general asks about. Allison explains to him that Mansfield’s latest request deals with the non lethal weapon division, under Dr. Parrish. As he and Jo head down to talk with him, they notice many employees seem scared of Fargo. Parrish and Zane push back against Fargo because they know their work isn’t ready for demonstration yet but reluctantly try, trying to use a weapon to calm down angry bees but nothing happens. Fargo leaves, yelling at them to fix it all. Later, Fargo finds another non lethal weapon in the hallway which explodes and covers him in a strong immovable glue against the wall. Jack agrees to look into the situation with Jo and figure out who left the weapon out.

At Cafe Diem, Jack is trying to walk the minefield of Tess being excited about moving in. Trevor notices his discomfort and calls him on it but fails to take responsibility for the fact that all of their problems are his direct fault.

At Henry’s, Trevor asks him to work with him on trying to get the machine working again, finally convincing him. They do make some progress until suddenly, Henry’s tools start disappearing every time they touch them. They go through theory after theory about what could be happening until Grace comes in later and reveals that it was all a prank to get back at her husband after alt timeline Henry magnetized all of her pots and pans previously. They laugh about it but Trevor notes that Henry seems to be having a crush on his wife.

Jack questions Zane in Cafe Diem but Zane gets very angry and storms off angrily. Jo manages to get a confession out of Parrish while Allison coaches Fargo on how to build bridges between the workers of GD. When he attempts it however, Parrish’s eyes flash red and he gets extremely angry and starts berating Fargo who he himself also gets angry and gives it right back to him. Jo orders a lockdown and quarantine as everyone is taken for tests. Jo theorizes the problem was Dr. Anson who had earlier spilled some red liquid on the floor after bumping into Fargo. They confront him and he goes full on roid rage as Jo subdues him but she shows signs of feeling the unexplained anger as well. They later find out that the liquid he spilled wasn’t a toxin but alcohol, having been driven to drink at work due to alt Fargo‘s timelines and aggressive schedules.

Tess is called in to help Allison with the testing and she confides in her about feeling that something is off with Jack when she and thought they were on the same page. Later, Allison talks with Jack, telling him he needs to talk with Tess about things.

As the rage fever spreads, the entire staff starts yelling and acting aggressively, destroying company property, trying to break into Fargo’s office, and even burning effigies of him. Jo and Fargo both get super aggressive towards Jack and Allison but Jack manages to talk them down slightly for the moment. Jo manages to subdue Zane and he and Parrish are bound and secured in the infirmary.

Tess, Jack, and Fargo go to Parrish‘s lab and discover that the bee experiment was not set correctly and caused them to get angry instead of calm and when they boosted its signal to try and get it working, the beam inadvertently affected all of GD. Tess manages to reverse the process while Jack uses Fargo as bait to draw the rage zombies away from Alison and Jo. Tess activates the cure and everyone starts finally calming down.

Parrish and Fargo sort of make up. Jack and Jo share a moment reaffirming their friendship and partnership and then he heads home to the bunker where he tells Tess that they aren’t going to work out and that she should go to Australia, something she is surprised he knew about. She leaves, tearful.

Advanced Research:

Dr. Parrish was played by Wil Wheaton. He is likely best known as the boy who could do it all, Wesley Crusher, on Star Trek: The Next Generation. He had some random TV appearances before Trek, like Highway to Heaven and St. Elsewhere. He appeared in several movies such as Stand By Me, Toy Soldiers, and The Curse (with his sister Amy). He left Star Trek to pursue bigger opportunities that didn't happen right away. He was in a movie called Mr. Stitch with Rutger Hauer and Ron Jeremy (Doctor Rue Wakeman and his team create a young man with skin and organs taken from other men and women. The creature, Lazarus, reads a lot of books and learns all about the humans. But when he meets fascinating Doctor Elizabeth English, his life changes, and he decides to escape from the laboratory). He did voices for Teen Titans (Aqualad), Naruto, Legion of Superheroes (Cosmic Boy), Ben 10 (Mike Morningstar), Batman: The Brave and the Bold (Ted Kord, Blue Beetle), and he was the voice of Perceptor in Transformers: Power of the Primes. He also made an uncredited voice appearance in the JJ Abrams Star Trek as a Romulan. He did become a main cast member in the webseries The Guild with Felicia Day (online gamers actually meet in real life). He played a twisted version of himself in The Big Bang Theory, and had a popular online show called Tabletop. Most recently, he appeared in the Big Bang Theory spinoff Stuart Fails To Save The Universe. Nowadays, he is known as a writer/producer of all things geek, and is a well-respected narrator of audiobooks. He stunned everyone when he revealed the abuse he had endured as a child on the set of many productions and has been a very vocal advocate of mental health.

The Story of O2:

Written by: 

Story by : Jill Blotevogel

Teleplay by : Eric Tuchman

Directed by: Colin Ferguson

Original airdate: July 30, 2010

Synopsis: 

Jack heads off to visit Zoe at college, bringing along a care package from Vincent and Pilar. Zoe and her lab partner have a cat they were using for their project and who happens to get into the care package while Zoe and Jack go out for food. When they return, they can’t find the cat because it accidentally activated Pilar’s spray bottle that allows fabric to match the appearance of other fabrics. On the cat’s fur, it ends up making the cat invisible and difficult to catch. Zoe gets frustrated that her dad just showed up, especially with her plans she had to attend a party, and she tells her dad that he should have called because she has her own life now. He tells her to go to the party while he tries to catch the cat. He soon realizes that the spray washes off and when Zoe returns, having decided to skip the party, they manage to trap the cat in the shower and wash it off. The two apologize to each other and leave on better terms than ever.

Meanwhile in Eureka, a rocket race to the moon competition begins and many excited young students launch their rockets under the watchful eye of General Mansfield. Zane ends up crashing a prototype flying motorcycle which causes Mansfield to order him fired but Zane’s insistence he wasn’t drunk, and Jo’s feelings for him cause her to go to bat for him, keeping there until they can finish an investigation.

Another scientist, Dr. Ramsey, reports that his supply of TAP, terraforming atmospheric processing fluid, a way of producing breathable air from rocks and soil for use on other planets, has gone missing. Zane is the obvious culprit due to the TAP being capable of getting one super high but he denies it. Henry and Fargo inspect the prototype remains and find that the fuel tank is completely drained. Jo enlists Deputy Andy, complete with a newly made body and face, to find some birds that may have been affected the same way Zane was when he crashed. He ends up finding out that metal beams at the crash site are all super corroded and he has somehow started to catch on fire himself.

Jo talks with Zane and he questions why she seems so intent on helping him. She tells him she doesn’t want him to be that guy who ends up back in prison, but he says she is wasting her time. She lets him go but as she heads out to her car, Zane is there waiting for her. As they drive together to find Andy, they suddenly start to feel drowsy and pass out. Deputy Andy is there when they wake up and he pushes them back to town, rather than start up the car, because the area has so much oxygen that it’s in danger of exploding.

Allison’s tests reveal that Zane somehow has an excess of oxygen in his system, indicating hyperoxia and could result in blindness, something that happened to the birds that died.

At Cafe Diem, the town is betting on whose rocket will reach the moon first with Kevin’s in the lead, despite Allison’s earlier worry that he wasn’t going to do well. Trevor watches the race with interest and asks Kevin about how he came up with his rocket solution. Trevor goes to Allison later and explains that what Kevin made seemingly goes against the rules of the competition.

They realize that the TAP would work as a rocket fuel if it was irradiated at the right frequency and given that Fargo and company had changed the frequencies up, and that the TAP is self expanding, they’re in danger of causing a giant explosion.

They talk with Kevin about the rocket and he denies using the TAP which is when Alison reveals that she did it, hoping to help him be successful. Henry and Fargo activate the rockets’ self-destruct codes in order to avoid the explosion but one rocket keeps coming: Larry’s rocket, in which he did not include a self-destruct module due to it being too heavy and wanting to win the race. Trevor asks Allison why she did it and she admits it was a lapse in judgement and is having trouble adjusting to the new Kevin and just wanted things to go right.

Kevin comes up with a solution to release hydrogen balloons into the air in order to mix with the extra oxygen and create rain after the explosion occurs. Mansfield threatens to remove Fargo from the position of head of GD. As everyone waits to see if Kevin’s plan works, Zane calls Jo his old nickname for her of JoJo and she catches a glimpse of the Zane she knew. Luckily they all soon see that Kevin’s plan works perfectly. Unfortunately, Larry’s rocket is still heading back to Eureka and ends up hitting Jo’s house.

Jack returns from his college visit and invites Jo to stay with him at the bunker.
