  • Movie scientists are idiots (but also know all about sharks?)
  • You can be exposed to freezing water and be fine

Songs (names by us):

“Attack of the Killer Tomatoes”

Attack of the killer tomatoes
attack of the killer tomatoes
they’ll beat you, bash you, squish you, mash you
chew you up for brunch
and finish you off for dinner or lunch
they’re marching down the halls
they’re crawling up the walls
they’re gooey, gushy, squishy, mushy
rotten to the core
they’re standing outside your door
remember Herbert Farbage
while taking out his garbage
he turned around, and he did see
tomatoes hiding in his tree
now he’s just a memory
I know I’m going to miss her
a tomato ate my sister
sacramento fell today
they’re marching into San Jose
tomatoes are on their way
the mayor is on vacation
the governor’s fled the nation
the police have gone on strike today
the national guard has run away
tomatoes will have their day
attack of the killer tomatoes
attack of the killer tomatoes
they’ll beat you, bash you, squish you, mash you
chew you up for brunch
and finish you off for dinner or lunch, munch, munch
dinner or lunch, munch, munch
dinner or lunch

“Mindmaker”

Some sell, some buy, and only we know why
the wrap is more important than the prize
important decisions are made each day
much too important for the plain folk to make
they’re always in a bind
depend on us to help make up their mind
red box, blue box, a red box and a blue box
bright colors and a coupon on the side
hard sell or soft sell, it’s all the same
millions of dollar bills are spent every day
where do they all go?
Mindmaker’s here to run the show
we sell cars and toys for girls and boys
and chairs and beds and shrunken heads
sugar beets and baseball cleats and ice to eskimos
leeks and mink and boats that sink
no matter what, we’ll get it sold
we’ll use catchy jingles, snappy tunes and pretty girls with big balloons
a little lie, a stretch of truth can turn the public’s head
there’s TV types and ad execs and everyone’s the best
and yet
they all look up
to a single man
and that one single man
is… me!
They sell, they buy, and only I know why
the human mind is putty in my hands
important decisions are made each day
much more important for the plain folk to make
they’re always in a bind
depend on me to help make up their mind
decision-wise
policy-wise,
demographically speaking
mindmaker!

“Military”

We stopped the Germans in ’45, then we crushed the viet cong (almost)
for a greater glory we could never strive
this crop uprising will not last long ain’t no time to make a fuss
we got to get those tomatoes
before they get us we’re gonna beat ’em, mash ’em,
squish ’em, bash ’em in the street
we’re gonna kick ’em, kick ’em, mush ’em, crush ’em with our feet
we’re gonna meet them, munch them, crunch them, gonna stomp ’em in place
T-o-m-a-t-o-e-s
tomatoes
we’ll squish them, we’ll mash them
we’ll mush them, we’ll crush them
we stopped to negotiate at the first attack
we gave ’em Alabama but they gave it right back
tomatoes, tomatoes
tomatoes
they said we’d live together like sister and brother
but they captured a cannery and bottled my mother
now she’s at the store and they’ll soon be back for more
those tomatoes
tomatoes

“Puberty Love”

Puberty
puberty love
there is nothing like puberty love
it’s so deep
it’s so cool

“The first time I saw you”

The first time i saw you
I hated your guts
I felt your love
for cigarette butts
but now that I’ve touched you
I always will love you
my love for you will never dim
until all the fish can’t swim
the first time i saw you
was such a thrill to me
I felt your nose
tickle my knee
our love will be classy
like Timmy and Lassie
I know that you’re ever mine
until the very end of time

Final Take:

The government never gets any better, the more things change the more things stay the same. There were a number of jokes that didn’t age well.

  • The back of his chair looks like someone spray painted a cardboard box
  • Hey, that’s the NuMbEr OnE FiReFiGhTeR iN tHe CiTy, he doesn’t give a shit
  • Don’t taze me bro
  • Dinosaur in the kitchen moment!
  • Get to tha choppar

Things we learned:

  • Firefighters are universally known and widely respected. Saying you are a firefighter will get SWAT to put down their guns
  • The city is still full of dinosaurs but seems like a good place to end the movie 🤷‍♂️ 👍

Final Take:

Firefighters aren’t just cool…. they are kick-ass cool!
