Reality Checkout: "The Real World" destruction of MTV

 (0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words "The Last Of The Americans" on it before cutting to James physically)

TLOTA:
I'm James Faraci, The Last Of The Americans, and the views I'm about to express are that of my own & some of yours and welcome to another edition of Reality Checkout! (Cut to Video Purchasing Store checkout counter in which John Santos is a brainless idiot purchasing Reality T.V. series while James is the clerk who looks at the guy as if he were an idiot and slowly gets angry and does him a favor by buying him a copy of all the seasons of the restarted "Doctor Who" series as he takes the Reality T.V. series and places them in Port-a-Potty along with a lit stick of Dynamite and then James runs like hell as an image of Kim Kardashian is seen covered in fecal matter and the only clean part is the words "Reality Checkout" while the theme from "Welcome Freshmen" plays in the background before cutting to the MTV Launch video from 1981 and Music Videos as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
In 1981 MTV was launched and became synonymous with one idea redefining what music would be like forever and while they did try some original programming like game shows and dance series like "Club MTV" and different shows centered around different genres of music like " Headbangers Ball", "120 Minutes" & "Yo MTV Raps!". However, by 1991 the network was starting to change and promote a different series, which was based on a documentary series that was loosely inspired by "An American Family," a series that saw the destruction of The Loud Family and no, I do not mean that series on "Nickelodeon." (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
And the series was meant to show the youth of the generation, or how TV Producers think what the youth of the generation was and the series had the following opening phrase that changed the course of MTV forever! "This is the true story...of seven strangers...picked to live and work together...and have their lives taped...to find out what happens...when people stop being polite...and start getting real...THE REAL WORLD" (Cut to the opening of every season so far of The Real World then to clips of the "The Real World" series as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
When it debuted The Real World ultimately changed the fate of MTV forever. The Real World was about finding seven young people to basically live together for several weeks in a flat in New York City and what they'd be like just trying to exist and having to deal with people and situations outside of their control. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Under different circumstances, had things been written out with a plot and storyline, that would've made an excellent idea for a sitcom! Except the producers DID have written ideas that the cast was against. Cut to clips of "The Real World" as James does a voiceover.) 

TLOTA (V.O.):
 That's right, the production company that eventually gave us the satanic evil of The Kardashians and their reign of reality tv, Bunim and Murray Productions, had planned storylines for the series, including one of the castmates to "come out of the closet" as it were. That castmate quietly and quietly did that before joining the series. Then there was the point where there were arguments over the most ridiculous things. By today's Reality T.V. low as hell standards are rather childish. Now there are those that have said "Oh it broke ground because it talked about this subject or for talking about certain taboos in a realistic light." Well, let me tell you something, while yes it did handle subjects, I think of episodes of "Law & Order" that handled the situations better than "The Real World". "Well, it had someone both openly out of the closet and had AIDS and that person really died." While yes, I was aware of Pedro Zamora and the circumstances he had during the San Francisco season, and I was saddened when he passed away hours after the final episode of his season ended, I cannot, in all honesty, believe in that level of timing unless Pedro was in worse shape than he let on in the San Francisco season. "It set the template for other reality shows!" AND THAT'S A GOOD THING?! It's like being the first person who said that 2+2 equalling "IFLYDACHOOCHOO!" was right and all of a sudden it became the norm while the real answer was carelessly discarded without facts or scientific proof to back it up. Not something to truly be proud of! (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
And the sad thing is, it's legacy and what it did to not only MTV but also to Television itself. (Cut to different reality shows as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
It begat other Reality Shows on MTV like "The Challenge" & "Road Rules", "Ridiculousness" and two series about Teen Pregnancy. Then there was the series that begat shows like "The Anna Nicole Show" & most of the series that is on TLC, A&E, Discovery and The History Channel, Series like "The Osbournes", "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica" and series that became popular because the shows were on MTV, A network that was meant to help older musical bands reach new audiences and discover newer musical artists and give them a chance to shine.  Now MTV is mediocre television with reality shows left and right. It is a shame, it could've been avoided if MTV didn't milk the series for what it's worth and then decide that is what they need to be relevant. The sad thing is, even with a pandemic, with the world now teetering towards destruction, even after leaving MTV for Facebook's Video Services only to now be a part of Paramount+, the series is going on as we speak! This series also had its knock-off with "The Surreal Life" which had a group of what many would consider Z-Level Celebrities living in a house and having the cameras in their face all the time. And of course, the show also made celebrities just from being there, aside from Pedro Zamora, Judd Winick went on to marry his former co-star and work in the Comic Book industry, Rachel Campos-Duffy is in news, not saying which network because let's face it, the news is all the same right now, unwatchable and Oh yeah, her husband is former representative and Real World Co-Star Sean Duffy, Then, of course, there is Mike "The Miz" Mizanin whom I've talked about in the past, Tami Roman, who was the target of what was meant to be a harmless prank that led to a meltdown that only Reality TV would produce, ultimately had a resume in acting and Reality-TV that would put most to shame, Trishelle Cannatella who also went on to do more Reality TV, some I've already talked about and a myriad of others who have gone on to a level of success in entertainment and other ventures. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
And that is the story of a series that has become the all-father of all reality series and how people choose to sacrifice their souls, to stop being humans and start being real enough for fifteen nanoseconds of fame. But as far as I'm concerned, it is time for The Real World to be evicted, and take every single series that has spawned from its loins and checkout! (A knock on the door is heard as James looks up and sees "The Real World" logo as it grows arms, throws its keys at James, and leaves with expletive beeps coming out of whatever counts for its mouth and walks out the main door in disgust, slamming it shut. Cut to a very confused James)

TLOTA:
Well, it can't get weirder than that ladies and gentlemen. I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and (A knock on the door is heard) One moment. (James walks away as we hear James say "He did what?", "Someone actually won it?", "Now they're coming here for a crossover and it's their choice?!". Cut to the outside of the studio as James' shout of "CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!" echoes throughout Sullivan County, eventually throughout the United States, The World from inside the planet and then a shot of the earth from outer space!)

The Powers That Be: All the Powers that glitters are not a "Goldmember"

(Scene begins on the streets of Hollywood as “Hurray For Hollywood” on a guitar plays as James and Chad drive through the city.)

TLOTA (Audio only):
Yeah, I’m in town until I can find her, Rowdy  Yeah, I’d like to do a crossover, but our schedules just continue to clash, Hopefully later this year. Alright, Yep, Okay, Maybe  Stay Rowdy Dude  (Cut to James and Chad as they park outside a studio and step out of the car.)

TLOTA:
Okay, according to the tracker, Dr. Vile’s base is over there. First chance we can get, we rescue Alex, and we get out of this den of hell!

Chad Narducci:
Come on, James, can’t you feel the incredible power from this city?

TLOTA:
The only power I feel from this place is the power of evil that Mattling from The Dead Talk Back talked about, and the levels of evil emanating from here would make that nutjob go through the friggin’ roof. As a matter of fact, I think I see him trying to convert the Bloods and Crips to (Gunshots ring out) Ah, never mind Mattling is running for his life as the two gangs want to smoke him like a Ham!

Chad Narducci:
Mattling, and you can call it evil, I call it entertainment MOJO  HIT THE MUSIC! 

(“Soul Bossa Nova” plays in the foreground as Chad’s feet start to get into the groove, and he asks James to join him, and James declines as Chad gets into the dancing sensation as the music starts to get into the groove, and the scene pauses as the words “The Last Of The Americans” in the same font style as the “Austin Powers” movies title intros as Chad runs into the studio without a pass and James tells the  security guard and they run as Chad dances his way into a scene in a Marvel movie and James and the guard apologies then run out as Chad comes to the orchestra as they play the theme and he tiptoes past the band and James stops momentarily as he comes up to the conductor.)

TLOTA:
Ladies and Gentlemen, the incidental music maker for The Last Of The Americans Isaac “Fro Magnum Man” Ross  This is the man who gives our series the full-on out MOJO  (Isaac and James high-five each other as the music continues and James run into a studio as a music video director as the director on the set asks for quiet as James sees Chad ready to dance.) Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me  (Chad begins to dance with a young pop star whose career will be over by the time this review is out as James sighs and starts to dance as it’s revealed to be a Shedroid that can’t handle James’ power she explodes and Chad runs from James.) For the love of peat moss, CHAD!  (The music kicks back up and Chad goes on dancing and the music and James runs after him again as Chad does Jazz hands and is raised with James kicking and screaming Chad’s name as he’s caught on a rope on the rising stand hanging upside down with the music reaching a crescendo and James shouting “CHAD!” as the words “The “Powers” That Be” are seen in the same font type as the “Austin Powers” intro and the music ends as the Dr. Evil theme soundalike plays and it cuts to the interior of the base of Dr. Vile as he overlooks the Hollywood sign.)

Dr. Vile:
So, with Agent 428 now disposed of, let us now...(the sound of doors getting boomed as troops run through the lair as James and Chad carrying  machine guns lead the assault.)

TLOTA:
You’re under arrest!

Chad Narducci:
So get on your knees and put your hands on your (Chad’s Machine gun goes off everyone ducks as the Frau Farbissina, Mini-Me, Number 2, and Scott espies are taken out, and the gun runs out of ammo. James looks and sees the slaughter that took place  James stammers and stumbles on his words for a few seconds.)

TLOTA:
Do you know that the only reason I’m not choking you right now is the fact that Alex is possibly in a convoluted death trap, and I have to focus my energy on rescuing her and kicking that numb nutted, bald sumbitch a new butthole  (Cut to Dr. Vile)

Dr. Vile:
First off, you caught me and killed everyone around me in the first act of your review. Where will the story go from here? Secondly, I don’t have Alex. She never arrived; I thought she did; I was wrong. Sorry Agent 428  (Cut to a perplexed James and Chad.)

Chad Narducci:
What the Funk and Wagnalls did you just say? (James’ communicator beeps as he answers it.)

TLOTA:
Hello, what’s up, chief?  She was Where? You mean to tell me that we (Cut to James, Chad, and Julia Alexa Miller in the waiting room at the II-DOD hours later as James is standing with his face in front of a wall and Chad standing with his face in front of another wall!) wasted months of traveling FOR NOTHING! 

Julia Alexa Miller:
Well, you caught a villain, and from what I heard, the two of you got along better than you have for years.

TLOTA:
Alex, you were trapped in the broom closet for a couple of hours, had it not been for Rebecca and Nick, it would’ve been worse for you.

Chad Narducci:
Now, as for us catching Dr. Vile, according to the leader of the free world, he has a catch and release program for terrorists who want to take over the world with a caveat. With each failure of their plan, they forfeit whatever technology they create, and their capital is added to the national debt relief!

Julia Alexa Miller:
So the two of you did all this for nothing. What was the point of the trip?! 

Chad Narducci:
That’s the trillion-dollar question  (The door opens as Chief Development walks in)

Chief Development:
Agent 428, we would like you to get started on your review and the paperwork for everything that happened, you as well, Mr. Narducci. However, in separate rooms, Miss Miller, I would like to firstly express my apologies for any inconvenience you experienced. We would like to Debrief you about what happened first, Agent 428. Mr. Narducci will be debriefed later on  (Cut to James as he does his paperwork in the same style of “Hot Fuzz” with the few people who survived Chad’s accidental onslaught. Cut to James just as he finishes his paperwork.) 

TLOTA:
…And DONE  Well, let’s get to it  (Cut to the title card of Austin Powers in GOLDMEMBER then to clips of Austin Powers in GOLDMEMBER as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Yeah, after the critical and commercial success of the second movie, New Line Cinema and Mike Myers went to the well one more time and came up with a few new drops of water while the rest of it feels more cut and paste than the Terminator Sequels after Terminator 2: Judgement Day  But is the movie that bad and boring that there’s no comedy to be found after two successes  Where can Austin go now  (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
We’ll find out now, this is Austin Powers in GOLDMEMBER 

(Cut to Austin Powers in GOLDMEMBER as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
We start off in the Utah desert as Austin comes from out of the sky and takes out a copter featuring one of Dr. Evil’s henchmen as WAIT A SECOND? TOM CUCKOO CLOCK CRUISE IS AUSTIN POWERS, AND FRIGGING PEPPER POTTS HERSELF GWYNETH PALTROW IS HIS LOVE INTEREST? AND DR. EVIL IS NOW PLAYED BY KEVIN SPACEY AND AND AND MINI-ME IS BEING PLAYED BY DANNY DEVITO? (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
WHAT THE LITERAL DEFINITION OF HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!

(Cut to Austin Powers in GOLDMEMBER as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Well, to my surprise, Austin is in Hollywood as a movie is being made about his exploits with Dr. Evil, and it’s being directed by Steven Spielberg. My mind is already exhausted. After a fourth-wall-breaking dancing opening credit montage which has cameos from both Quincy Jones and Britney “Trainwreck at 40” Spears, We soon discover Dr. Evil doing more psychological damage to Scott, talking about Johann Van Der Smut, who loved gold so much he wanted his junk smelt in gold  Losing it in the process, he took on the alias Goldmember  (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
And who is playing Goldmember  (Cut to a still of Goldmember as a ding dong is heard and Mike Myers’ name appears as it cuts to Robert Wagner as Number 2 as he says “Oy Gevalt!”  Cut to James)

TLOTA:
You said it, Robert Wagner  (Cut to Austin Powers in GOLDMEMBER as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
As Dr. Evil plans a new preparation for a tractor beam called Preparation H, Austin and the Ministry Of Defense come in. Apparently, Dr. Evil’s lair had a mole played by American sweetheart Fred Savage. After Dr. Evil is sentenced to 400 years in prison, Austin, FINALLY after a brief mentioning of it in the first movie, is knighted, Hoping to see his father be there; however, once we see that he is MIA, Austin heads back to his pad to swing a little to blow off the steam of his father not being there  While with twins which is on his very weird-ass bucket list which is on par with Shatner’s, Basil interrupts letting us know that Nigel Powers played by the now-retired Michael Caine was kidnapped after Austin was knighted  With nowhere left to turn, they decide on one person that can help  (Show moment in which Basil and Austin say “Dr. Evil!”  Cut to James physically.)

TLOTA:
Gee, I wonder what they’re going to reference in this case  (Cut to the clip of Dr. Evil in a transparent cell parodying both The Silence Of The Lambs and X-Men 2: X-Men United  cut to Robert Wagner as Number 2 as he says, “Oy Gevalt!”  Cut to the movie as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Austin and Dr. Evil come face to face as we get a flashback to the two as they were roommates at an academy. While Dr. Evil worked his bald and ritualistically shaved schnuts off, Austin shagged his way to good grades  (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
And admittedly, this puts a surprising twist into their relationship  Dr. Evil was a hard-working student who had to bust his bald schnuts to get good grades. At the same time, Austin did nothing and got all the credit. A unique twist on the whole Superhero/Supervillain dichotomy that’s reminiscent of Superboy and Lex Luthor from the silver age of comics  (Cut to Austin Powers in GOLDMEMBER as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Austin wins the International Man of Mystery award, and to the surprise of no one in the audience, Austin’s dad didn’t show  A theme is emerging in their relationship. We soon cut back to the present as Dr. Evil tells Austin where his father is, Quid Pro Quo. While he’s not getting his sentence reduced, he is being transferred to the prison where Mini-Me  (Show Dr. Evil as he tells Austin the pertinent facts to find Goldmember  Cut to James physically as there is a knock on the door and Chief Development enters.)

Chief Development:
Your Debriefing and assessment papers  (Cut to James)

TLOTA:
One moment, We’ll be back  (Cut to an hour later as James, Julia Alexa Miller, and Chad Narducci a half a second behind James and Julia Alexa Miller as the three come up the phone booth and the three walk through the hall as the doors close except for the last one and Chad knocking on the one before the last one  James sighs and says “Oy Gevalt” as James walks back to get Chad  James opens that door and Chad makes a run for it as James is tripped, gets up, and sees the door closing on him) You have got to be kidding me!

(The scene fades to black as James screams in pain, it then cuts to the 0:36 mark of the 1994 American Gladiators theme as it shows James entirely morphed with the half team TLOTA on his right and the other half on his left as the camera pulls back to see the slab with the markings “The Last Of The Americans.” Cut to the 0:36 mark of the 1994 American Gladiators theme shows James entirely morphed with the half team TLOTA on his right and the other half on his left as the camera pulls back to see the slab with the markings “The Last Of The Americans.” Cut to James, Julia Alexa Miller, and Chad Narducci as the three meet with the rest of the team.)

Paulo Fonseca:
So how was your little trip?

TLOTA:
Pointless

Rebecca Yaun:
I heard you blew up a hotel and a trailer park.

Chad Narducci:
That was on me.

TLOTA:
Chad, you fill them in on the details, I am going to work on the review.

(Cut to Austin Powers in GOLDMEMBER as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Austin heads to 1975 and the infamous Studio 69 Discotheque  Yeah a subtle nod at a Dramatic role Mike Myers played in between the first two Austin Powers movies with that subtlety being on par with the Time Machine, Austin makes it to Studio 69 there he meets with Foxxy Cleopatra played by Beyonce Knowles and I have nothing bad to say about her because I want to live without Jay-Z or anyone associated with either of them and I don’t need that crackpot Kanye “Ye” West coming after me, I have enough people with mental health issues in my life thank you very much  Foxxy through a random cameo by Nathan Lane tells Austin where to find his dad who has his hands and other parts of the body on some ladies for the evening  Austin and Nigel are soon in the hands of Goldmember who again, in case we fell asleep the first time gives us his back story and we also see that Goldmember likes eating his flaking skin like potato chips and Nigel hates the Dutch  Goldmember grabs Nigel and Foxxy tries to put Goldmember out of commission but Goldmember grabs Nigel and heads for 2002 where Foxxy and Austin head after a brief shootout  We then find Dr. Evil and Mini-Me in a Georgia State Prison where Frau Farbissina comes incognito and tells Dr. Evil that Scott is becoming just like Dr. Evil  We then get even more backstory as we see Dr. Evil’s biological mom getting blown up and adopted by Belgians  (Cut to James physically.)

TLOTA:
HOW MUCH MORE FRIGGIN BACKSTORY TO EITHER AUSTIN AND OR DR. EVIL CAN THIS STORY TAKE  THIS IS ROCKY IV LEVELS OF TRYING TO FIT TOO MUCH INTO ONE MOVIE  And yes I will be doing a “Different Cuts” of Rocky IV this summer  (Cut to Robert Wagner as Number 2 as he says “Oy Gevalt!”  Cut to the movie as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Dr. Evil plans an escape from the Georgia State Prison after a Hard Knock Life Esque rap  Meanwhile, Austin acclimates Foxxy to the 21st century which includes the Internet as only 2002 knows how to be as Austin meets and acknowledged The Mole  (Cut to the clips of Austin acknowledging The Mole’s mole  Cut to Robert Wagner as Number 2 as he says “Oy Gevalt!”  Cut to the movie as James does a voiceover)

Cut to Goldmember saying “Fahzha!”  Cut to James as he says “Say again?”  Cut to Goldmember saying “Fahzha!”  James walks away and brings Julia Alexa Miller in as he plays the clip again)

TLOTA:
Do you understand what he just said?

 Julia Alexa Miller:
I think he said “Father”.

TLOTA:
I think so too  (Cut to the movie as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Nigel attacks the guards however Mini-Me takes him away  As for Goldmember’s plans to paint Nigel’s junk gold  Dr. Evil has this to say (Show clip of Dr. Evil saying “HOW ABOUT NO  YA CRAZY DUTCH BASTARD!”  Cut to the movie as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Nigel talks to Mini-Me about how disrespectful everyone has been to him and starts to like the little fella  As that happens Austin and Foxxy get word that Dr. Evil’s henchmen have been seen around a Sumo area and since it’s a Sumo Wrestling arena, there’s only one person that big to be there  (Cut to Fat Bastard in a Sumo banana hammock. Cut to James Physically.)

TLOTA:
Naturally, it has to be Fat Bastard  (Cut to Robert Wagner as Number 2 as he says “Oy Gevalt!”  Cut to the movie as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Austin notices Fat Bastard as he is giving some money to a businessman of sorts and decides to interrogate Fat Bastard about the transaction by having Foxxy go incognito to pick up the laundry and Austin hiding in the cart  However, the stink of that many Sumo Banana Hammocks, plus the one from Fat Bastard sets Austin off, and as the two fight Fat Bastard comes at Austin at full power  (Cut to Fat Bastard as he comes to Austin at full power and Austin Screams  Cut to James screaming  Cut to Rowdy C as he screams  Cut to team TLOTA as they scream  Cut to Chad Narducci as he screams like a little girl  Cut to Mike Nelson, Tom Servo, Gypsy, and Crow as they scream  Cut to Ace Ventura as he screams in the Shark tank  Cut to The Three Stooges as they scream  Cut to Awkward Ashleigh as she screams  Cut to Linkara as he screams  Cut to Phelous as he and Allison Pregler scream  Cut to Jaimetud and the Drive-In Mutants Scream  Cut back to the movie as the wire fighting team hoists Fat Bastard into the sky only for a few moments before being stuck as the wire team fails Fat Bastard  Cut to the movie as James continues a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Austin and Foxxy interrogate Fat Bastard as he decides to sell Dr. Evil and their new associate Mr. Roboto and we have another moment in which Fat Bastard has a moment of realization and he passes gas  Back on Dr. Evil’s sub. Scott shows how far along he has transformed and has the great white sharks with fricking laser beams attached to their heads which causes tensions as Mini-Me is cast out  He handles it well enough  (Show moment in which Mini-Me flips off Dr. Evil. Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
I think that’s Mini-Me for “I will have my revenge for casting me out!” (Cut to the movie as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Austin and Foxxy get told that Fat Bastard’s information on Mr. Roboto was accurate  Austin and Foxxy go to Roboto Industries and after some subtitle mishaps, Austin and Foxxy get nothing from him but stick around to infiltrate the building and after a pee joke finds Roboto and Goldmember getting the fusion reactor and the key for the tractor beam which happens to be of course Gold  Foxxy tries to stop Goldmember but forced between saving Nigel and stopping Goldmember the two rescue Nigel as our heroes go through a rather funny car chase trying to catch Goldmember which includes the three ramming into a facsimile of Godzilla and after Goldmember escapes, Austin and Nigel have it out, Sullivan County New York Style  (Cut to Austin and Nigel having a loud disagreement about what to do next and going their separate ways. Cut to James physically as he demorphs to James Faraci.)

James Faraci:
For a long time, I felt like Austin, It felt like it would take a miracle when I realized me and my dad did have a bond  So in a way, I did better than Austin did and that bond is something I cherished until those last days I had with my dad  He is physically gone but still, he’s with me and I love that  (James morphs back to The Last Of The Americans)

Now back to business  (Cut to the movie as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA:
So that was Austin Powers in Goldmember, and I will admit, it was not the best of the three but not the worst one of the three  (Cut to clips of Austin Powers in Goldmember as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Admittedly, I would have to say that the movie is one-third recycled jokes and a lot of the plot was on repeat  A lot of the plot twists and the humor fell flat as a schmoke and a pancake  However, I did enjoy the development of the character dynamics, I liked how and what motivated Austin to be Austin, I enjoyed it a lot, and even though I didn’t like it, I think there was a sense of closure that was meant to occur and maybe the start of a new generation would pick up the franchise after some time has passed and found a way to make Austin more his own thing and not a parody of the 1960s spy genre and what is surprising to me is the longevity of the popularity of the Austin Powers movies has endured and how much people still want a fourth movie  Well, if it happens, I will check it out and see if it is worthy of the legacy of the first three  (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
For now, I am now moving forward with a renewed MOJO  I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and That’s my opinion  (Cut to sometime later as James looks over his next review for April as Julia Alexa Miller joins James.)

Julia Alexa Miller:
So did you and Chad have some common ground?

TLOTA:
I think things between Chad and I will eventually get better, right now I’m focused on two things  This movie and you

Julia Alexa Miller:
But what happened to Dr. Vile after he got released. 

TLOTA:
Um, I’m not sure but I think I know  (Cut to a highrise building as the jingle of “STUPIDIOT VILLAINY, WEST COAST BRANCH!” is heard as we cut to Professor Hiram Stupidiot as he reads a resume and Dr. Vile sitting in a chair )

Prof. Stupidiot:
Well, your resume of evil is impressive, but for a position you seem to be applying for, we do like our applicants to be able to provide some form of resources of their own, and I am a bit concerned about this whole “Government taking away my tech” section…

Dr. Vile:
Well, it is true that all my hardware was confiscated, but fortunately, the meddling and incompetent Chad Narducci chose not to do something as simple as a pat-down, so I was able to salvage… this…

(Hands Stupidiot a flash drive from under his shirt, which Stupidiot immediately plugs into computer)

Dr. Vile:
What you have on that drive is the best decryption technology known to humankind  It is impossible for my program to be cracked!

Prof. Stupidiot:
Yes… this could prove to be very useful…

Dr. Vile:
Yes, now if I could just have my flash drive back, perhaps we could begin to talk salary…

Prof. Stupidiot:
Hmm? What flash drive  Oh, and… sorry but the position has been filled  (Prof. Stupidiot pushes a button on his desk  Vile flies away as a rocket underneath his chair encapsulates Dr. Vile and launches  Dr. Vile screams that he will get Professor Stupidiot)

Prof. Stupidiot:
Drecks, prepare the Computer Hacker Of Doom  Rowdy and those meddling cats are about to endure my wrath like they have never seen! (Professor Stupidiot laughs his usual Maniacal laugh)
