MOVIE
Why are people always turning into stuff? We at HG Industries have "done" quite a few of these "body metamorphosis" movies, including two with people turning into mantises (mantii?). Anyway, this time the cheese comes in a slightly more pungent flavor, mostly through the inanity of the title, which consists of the letter "S" repeated seven times, beating the previous record-holder for consecutive "S's," Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song. I mean, when this was out in theaters back in 1973, did you go to the ticket counter and simply hiss at the ticket guy? No wonder everyone took drugs back then. Anyway, the animal-transformation-du-jour is king cobra, with a side of asparagus, and if that weren't stupid enough, it's also got an embryonic Dirkkk Benedict playing the victim-savior-zoology major. By the way, Maltin? Three starsssssss.

ElCriswell> Christina, meet your tepid love interest.
Ironf> Hi, I have lots of hair
