I was always a big Monkees fan growing up, so it just seemed natural to name Zortic’s band the Spacees. Okay, so the Monkees had to share their nod with the Jetsons.
Old Time Rock and Roll
You knew I couldn’t get through a storyline about putting a band together without at least one good Blues Brothers parody.
I don’t consider myself very musically literate, but I certainly recognize the lyrics to the Dire Straits song “Money for Nothing”.
See that, I had completely forgotten that Zortic had been knighted. Stay tuned to see how that translates into the new universe.
And the Wizard of Oz parody continues. Although the movie never showed if the Scarcrow was given clean underwear. Or if there was a version of the song “If I only some briefs” cut from the film.
Not sure if I mentioned that the name of the planet was Gaul before, but I know the Wizard of Oz reference is new.
I’m assuming that a parody of Gollum is the most likely source of an adventure motivation out there, but I’m sure there’s stranger examples.
