Another highlight is the utterly random (and probably incomprehensible to the lay viewer) <i>Thunderbirds</i> parody years before Matt and Trey came up with <i>Team America</i> doing basically the same thing. But the bizarre structure and format can't be conveyed through excerpts: you have to see the entire thing to really grasp how daring and unusual it was. With all the extras and behind the scenes footage (plus the introductory footage of Joel and a hand puppet riot made exclusively for CC) it would make a glorious DVD.
