Why do I watch this kind of show? or better then, Why would you watch this kind of show? What makes this show so watchable are, of course, the funny commentaries made by the show's hosts. In this episode though, i actually enjoyed the movie itself and i don't know why.
As for the laugh factor in this episode, it was not very high but it wasn't very low either. Although, very good for the first episode of the season.
Things I liked about this episode were: The movie itself and the crawling eyes, they were kind of neat.
Things I didn't like so much: the jokes in the show were not the funniest.moreless
