Movie Plot: The Dead Talk Back After a murder, the people at a rooming house are questioned, including a man who is working on talking to dead people. Also riffed was the short: The Selling Wizard.

Intro: Gypsy organizes a fire drill. They have to walk in a straight line, but they just go in circles. Segment One: Dr. Forrester, with little help from Frank, tries to use direct marketing with Nelson Cigarettes. Mike, with no help from Crow, resists. Segment Two: Tom and Crow host The Dead Talk Back radio show. Several famous dead people call. Mike is amazed, but Crow and Tom aren't. Segment Three: The crew dresses as the Grateful Dead. They play a song, but Crow does an extra-long guitar solo like Jerry Garcia. Dr. F. and Frank fall asleep during it. Mike and Tom play chess, Gypsy reads War and Peace, and Mike folds his laundry. When movie sign sounds, Mike has to grab Crow, because he's still playing. Segment Four: The Crew is interrogated by Dr. Forrester, but he is interrupted when Frank confesses. Crow resumes his guitar solo. Segment Five: Mike reads a letter while Crow continues his solo, Tom talks like the movie's narrator, and Gypsy rins another fire drill. Dr. Forrester and Frank play 'William Tell.' He keeps missing the apple and hitting Frank.

    I thought the movie was intresting but this episode is most memorible in my mind with Crows endless guitar solo. the funky psycodelic music can really set toes a tappin. As for the movie itself a really suprising plot as it seemed to be based on a true story. even though the movie can be boring the crew can make anything funny with their jokes and puns
