You gonna enter?
Probably not. Cosplay isn't really my sort of thing.
Well, I'm sure that those that do enter will have a blast.
Honestly, I'm not following what Sumuru's endgame is. There are vague proclamations for some sort of femmy utopia, but otherwise nothing to go on regarding her machinations or how they will accomplish this.
When you get down to it, the movie is simply one of those Civilization of Women movies from the 1950s updated to the aesthetics of the Swingin' Sixties. And of course you've got to have a smug chauvinist to subdue them with his libido, in this case portrayed by George Nader. I guess John Agar was unavailable. While not as bad as it could have been, it's currently second to Munchie as the biggest struggle to get through in Season 13.
The biggest surprise regarding host segments was the one concerning the acronyms. That one had been in real danger of doing the job too well. In this case, the point of illustrating how grating the self-conscious use of acronyms in the movie was could have resulted in the sketch becoming grating in its own right. But somehow it crosses an event horizon into something absurd.
