Hi. I'm Chris Connelly
from MTV's The Big Picture.

You know, every once in a while, people come
along who elevate their profession to a new level.

Basketball has MichaelJordan,
hair extension has Michael Bolton...

and in the field of movie reviewing,
well, we've got Blayne and Antoine.

Blayne and Antoine's rise to stardom
has been truly phenomenal.

After creating
a base of popularity...

and straining against
the bounds of good taste...

Blayne and Antoine finally
burst on the TV public...

exploding on the scene with a shower
of hot picks and witty criticism.

And may I add on a personal note,
they've taught me a few things about myself...

some of which, frankly,
I'm not sure I wanted to know.

But I thank them anyway.
Check these guys out.

[Man] Cable access channel
presents Men On Film.

- Hello. I'm Blayne Edwards.
- And I'm Antoine Merrywether.

[Together]
And welcome to Men On Films.

- The show that looks at movies...
- From a male point of view.

Tonight's show is sponsored by...

Nuts & Honey.

- What'd you say?
- "Nuttin'," honey.

I bet you can't eat just one.

I bet I could.

You're so crazy.

[Giggling]

Tonight we'll be wrapping up
the summer films.

First up is the box-office smash
Total Recall.

Yes, this is the movie where muscle-bound
Arnold Schwarzenegger...

goes in search of his past.

Just a hint, Arnold.
Try looking in the closet.

[Snickers]

Next we have Betsy's Wedding.

[Together]
Hated it.

Then there's Ghost.

You know, Patrick Swayze was
the real standout in this film.

You know, I'd breathe life
into his spirit any day...

even if I did have to go
through Whoopi Goldberg.

- Perish the thought.
- Yes, indeed.

Now we come to d*ck Tracy.

You know, I love the title,
but the movie just left me limp.

I know what you're saying.
This is... This is what I don't get.

All the characters fit their names.
You know, Flattop had a flattop.

Pruneface looked
just like a little prune.

But I never got the chance to see...
[Mouthing Words]

I know I wanted to.

What's wrong with you?

It's hot in here.

Oh. Then there's Pretty Woman.

[Together]
Hated it.

- This one should have been called
A Fish Called Julia.
- Ooh.

Next, Eddie Murphy was back
in Another Hours.

You know, I'm sorry.
This movie just got off on the wrong track.

I feel that they should have spent more time
where the real story is.

- Mm-hmm.
- In the prisons.

I'd like to see more about them old sweaty mens
all together in them tiny little cells...

with no one to turn to
but each others.

Ooh, drop the soap.
I'll get it.

Hush.

- Really?
- You know I can wait.

Then we come to Spike Lee's
Mo'Better Blues.

I'm sorry. I didn't care for it.
It just didn't put no toot in my horn.

I'm sorry, but I liked this one.

I mean, little Spike Lee
outdone himself this time.

He really stretched out
in a dual role...

as both the lead character's
manager and love interest.

Oh, he was okay
as the manager...

but, ooh, he just thrilled me to death
in those gripping love scenes...

with big old handsome
Denzel Washingtons.

What courage it must have taken for
little Spike Lee to take off them glasses...

and let that little hair
get knotty and say...

"Hey, this is me.
Here I am. See me, love me."

Hello!
Put the car in park.

The love interest was played by
Spike Lee's little sister, Joie.

Well, touch me in the morning
and then just walk away.

I don't know. I think you should go see this again.
Then you tell me who's who.

- Yeah, well, you can go without me.
- 'Toine.

Don't get mad.

- 'Toine.
- Okay.

Finally, we have Die Harder.
What a way to go!

Ninety minutes
with Mr. Bruce Willis.

Oh, yes. Don't tempt my tummy
with the taste of Nuts & Honey.

Crazy.

You know, the only thing I didn't understand
was all the v*olence in the film...

'cause the title
suggested a love story.

Mm-hmm.
I second that emotion.

I think this one still deserves
the new and improved...

[Together]
Two snaps, a twist and a kiss.

Stop.
Can't touch this.

Well, that's our show.

Next week, we'll be looking at Air America,
starring Mel Gibson...

and little Robert DowneyJrs.

- Pilot to copilot, we're going down in flames.
- [Giggles]

[Together]
Bye now.

I'm Jeffrey Lyons of CNBC
and also Sneak Previews.

There have been many cliffhangers
in television history.

Who shotJ.R., for example?
Who fathered Murphy's baby?

And more recently,
who fed Delta Burke?

Well, we're gonna look now at one of my favorite
cliffhangers of all time. Just watch.

Tell a friend, child.

[Yelping]

Oh, my Lord.

Blayne! Blayne!

Blayne! Call a doctor...

'cause I think he needs
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Hey, hey, hey, man. Hey!

Man, what you doin', man?

- Blayne? Blayne, are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm all right.

What's up with you? What's... What's
these funny clothes about, man?

- Let's finish the show. Finish the show.
- Okay.

[Clears Throat]
Finally...

we come to
that sly Fox of a network...

and their show
Married with Children.

- Loved it.
- Hated it.

What you talkin' about, "Hated it," man?
That girl is fine. The blonde one?

With the... The blonde?
Look like she hidin' two midgets, man.

Blonde? Midget?
[Yelps]

[Man] Cable access channel
presents Men On Film.

- Hello. I'm Blayne Edwards.
- And I'm Antoine Merrywether.

[Together]
And welcome to Men On Film.

The show that looks at movies
from a guy's point of view.

Uh, you mean,
from a male point of view.

Yeah, males are guys...
a guy's point of view.

Huh. Heh!
We have a new sponsor.

Gaytorade.

It's for that
deep-down body thirst.

Now packed to the brim
with natural protein. Mmm!

Tonight we're gonna look
at summer blockbusters.

Our first film up
is City Slickers.

Oh, this is a film
about little Billy Crystal...

who finds the real man
inside of him...

by going west and putting on
some of those leather chaps...

and joining in a cattle drive.

I love this film,
all that dust and perspiration.

I got saddle sore just watching it.
You want to see?

No. Um... [Chuckles]
I didn't really pay much attention...

'cause once they started with the cows and stuff,
I just got into my girl.

I had this young lady with me. We's, like,
mackin' it out and stuff, man. [Laughs]

Everybody got
what they wanted.

Billy even got to take home
that little calf, Norman.

Yeah, I bet they had veal chops that night.
[Laughing]

- Veal... They k*lled... The burger...
- Oh, just hush.

I could just spank you
with a cat-o'-nine-tails.

- Oh, look! There goes Charo.
- Where?

- Keep looking.
- Where?

- Keep looking.
- Where?

Hello in there!

- I'm sorry.
- Don't do that again.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I thought there was
a stinkbug on your head.

I'm warning you, Tony.
Don't do that again, man.

Next up, Truth or Dare.

Oh, Madonna's tour documentary.

My coif for vous, Madonna.

I loved this one.

I could've spent all night watching
those fabulously interesting dancers.

Whether to point your toe,
don't point your toe, who knows?

- I haven't had that much fun since the opening...
- [Snorting]

Of Paris is Burning.

And that little Oliver.
You know, the Negroid with the blond hair?

Oh. He was riveting.
He was riveting.

But there's one thing...
Excuse me?

Why don't you just cut free,
Oliver, and admit who you are?

Oliver, I dare you!

Tell the truth.
¿Es verdad?

- What's "¿Es verdad?"
- That's Spanish for "Isn't it the truth?"

- You know, I'm bi... lingual.
- Uh-huh.

Well, I didn't look at Oliver much...

but I think Madonna is pretty hot.

And, um, I don't know. I could forget Truth
or Dare. I wanna see her play spin the bottle.

You seen the way she wrapped her lips
around that bottle, man?

Yo, she can
pop my bottle anytime.

Hello in there.

- That's it, man. I'm gonna bust your ass.
- Oh!

Wait a minute. I thought there was
a daddy longlegs on your head.

Scuse me.
[Chuckles]

That's it, man. You want a piece of me?
Come on. Go for it. Give me your best sh*t.

- Give me your best sh*t. Come on.

- Blayne?
- Tony!

Blayne!

Come on!
You remember the crew!

- He's back!
- Oh! Hi, Eric and Troy!

Join us next week when we'll be
reviewing Terminator ...

starring muscle-bound
Arnold Schwarzenegger.

If this man is the man of the future,

Hello. I'm Michael Medved,
cohost of Sneak Previews...

and being a movie critic, of course
you have to be very picky about...

who you want
sponsoring your show.

You want to be sure that it's a product
that you believe in...

a product which the public would actually
envision you using on a regular basis.

And Blayne and Antoine obviously
took all of this into consideration...

when selecting their sponsors.

Just take a look.

Tonight's broadcast
is brought to you by...

Bend-Gay.

I ain't gonna touch it.

- Ben did.
- Stop.

This show is brought
to you by Wang.

- Don't they make computers?
- Mm-hmm.

Wait a minute.
We got a new sponsor.

Somebody better
check their mail.

Tonight's broadcast
is brought to you by...

Jewels...

the gum that explodes
in your mouth.

I bet you just can't chew one.

And who'd want to?

Do you know we have
a new sponsor?

Wilson Sporting Goods...

the official balls of the NFL.

I ain't said a word.

Today's show is brought to you
by our brand-new sponsor, Dairy Queen.

I scream. You scream.
We all scream...

- down at the Dairy Queen.
- [Screams]

Today's show is
brought to you by...

- Mr. Gulp.
- Mm-hmm.

- The ultimate protein shake.
- Mm-hmm.

It's the second-highest
source of protein around.

But it tastes just like the first.

Mm-hmm.

You know, we're all familiar with
the famous Siskel and Ebert thumbs-up.

Other critics use a star system,
and some rate movies on a scale of one to ...

but no one does it better
than Blayne and 'Toine.

The title alone gets two snaps up.

We gonna have to give this one
two snaps up in a circle.

This book gets
the yet unheard-of Zorro snap.

In "Z" formation.

To sum up our little
European vacation...

we're gonna have to give the whole trip
a new and improved...

around-the-world-and-back
snap.

We'd like to salute all the mens
playing the Super Bowl...

with our special Super Bowl snap.

[Together] Two snaps
and your backfield in motion.

It's time to give this meal
a very special Chef Boyardee snap.

Two snaps, and wipe your mouth.

I think this workout deserves...

Two snaps and a pelvic thrust.

Okay. I don't think
he's into that.

Yoo-hoo, Pedro.
