Title: 'The Boy In The Plastic Bubble' Releasing 7/30, Caption Contest Inside!!!

(https://forum.rifftrax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rifftrax.com%2Ffiles%2Fimagecache%2Fthickbox%2Ffiles%2Firiffs-posters%2FBubbleBoyWeb.jpg&hash=45681c0078711028d28e5cc1840933b87fa81657)

The past decade has not been kind to John Travolta.  It began with Battlefield Earth, and ended with the movies about the middle-aged guys on motorcycles (Wild Hogs), the middle-aged adoptive fathers (Old Dogs), the middle-aged guy who found valuable dancing shoes (Gold Clogs), the middle-aged children's book author who runs at a medium pace (Roald Jogs), and the middle-aged guys who flip milk caps in a meat storage locker (Cold Pogs).

It may seem like Travolta has gotten a raw deal from movie-going audiences.  Despite the fact that he hasn't had a hit in a long time, believes some crazy things about Thetans, and is starting to resemble the batty aunt you've never seen wear anything but a muumuu, you still feel like maybe the guys deserves a fairer shake than he's gotten.

Then you revisit The Boy in the Plastic Bubble and remember that, no, he in fact doesn't.  His shorts alone in the 1976 made for TV movie render him undeserving of our sympathy til the end of time.  Travolta plays Todd Lubitch, a boy who was born without any immunities and cannot venture outside his sterile environment, lest he slip on a banana peel and end up on America's Funniest Home Videos.  He observes the girl next door's every move through his binoculars, and she responds how all females would in this situation: be finding this cute and falling in love with him.

Along the way, we meet up with supporting characters Mr. Brady, a hybrid of William Katt/Ian Ziering, and an unaging doctor.  The whole thing is set to a theme by noted orangutan dresser-upper Paul Williams, who makes modern day singers like Bon Iver seem like raging barrels of pure testosterone.

Mike, Kevin & Bill insist that you please leave them alone in their one room shack in the country, so they can riff The Boy in the Plastic Bubble to their hearts content.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Now, in celebration of this riff and to get into the spirit of Comic-Con we have a task for you:

Here is a riff from the movie:
"You can be sure that under that suit, he's wearing disturbingly tiny shorts."

Now, go forth and scour the web for pictures from Comic-Con and use the above line as a caption.

Post your entries in this thread. The person who comes up with the best one will win a free riff. Cut-off is Sunday 7/25 at midnight.

Go my little nerdlings, go forth and funny!

Actually, if the line is read as Kevin Murphy is saying it about Tom Servo, it works really well...

Yes. That is what I intended.

Yes. Go with that.

That explains the $10 price tag.  I was thinking for a second it was a fucking miniseries or something then I realized it had to be a VOD.

Two questions: Will there be Source Audio if we buy the VOD, and is the VOD going to be properly auto ducked?

It will be improperly ducked, as we're big fans of intentionally doing a poor job of things.
