Saw this movie years ago. Jeffery Combs was the lead.

Rumour has it that they wanted to do a Doctor Strange movie, but couldn't get the rights.

During the Q&A following the premiere, the movie's writer C. Courtney Joyner was asked about that. According to him, while it was heavily inspired by the Doctor Strange comic books, there had never been any plans to make an official movie.

Ah.

Random host segment phrase to insert in conversation and make things awkward: "I'm the flashback trancer now, dog!"

Favorite riffs

"May it find its place with the Philosopher's Stone."
Now, in America, that's Sorcerer's Stone.

I am Mary, mother of God, and I don't approve this message!

I had the weirdest dream. I was going to play Dr. Strange, but we lost the rights to the character, and then just went ahead and made the movie anyway!

Doctor Mordrid, Sorcerer Supreme, uses his incredible powers to escape awkward small talk.

One does not simply walk into Mordrid's.

"Oh no. You're not nosy, you're..."
Desperate, invasive.

"Well then, we've just gotta trust."
That the new script pages will show up.

"Your secret's safe with me."
Until the rent strike.

Is this a dagger which I see before me? Seriously, I don't know.

Don't try this at home, kids. This is a paid ameteur actor.

"A sorcerer is not a god."
But a hot dog is a sandwich.

"It's in the lab."
And by the lab, I mean the trash.

"But while one focused on assuming his place as a great sorcerer, and command the worlds of light with understanding and beneficence, Kabal..."
Wanted to talk to girls.

By the powder of gray skull.

"For the next twelve hours, no physical harm can come to you."
Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem.

No one brought donuts today, so I'm not doing nothing.

Meanwhile, at Count Duckula's castle...

Finally. I've been waiting for him to reanimate something.

Hey museum exhibit, no touching the museum exhibit.

Harryhausen and the Philosopher's Stone.

Frank Frazetta's Muppet Babies.

Ooh, right in the Kabals.

We can't afford flashing lights, but we've got this heat lamp.

"And I'll watch It's a Wonderful Life for the hundredth time."
Maybe Uncle Billy won't blow it this year.

I can't believe Dr. Mordrid was a Christmas movie the whole time!

I had the weirdest dream. I was going to play Dr. Strange, but we lost the rights to the character, and then just went ahead and made the movie anyway!

Which seems to have happened.
