!!The Segments
[[AC:Prologue]]
* Crow's nesting an egg for a spix's macaw. He soon gains another egg.

[[AC:Segment 1]]
* Crow fires hot lead to weasels trying eat the eggs. Meanwhile, Pearl is in Los Angeles with film critic Leonard Maltin to present today's experiment, ''Film/{{Gorgo}}''. He says that the film sent two of his assistants to the hospital.

[[AC:Segment 2]]
* Mike and the Bots put a production of ''[[Theatre/WaitingForGodot Waiting for Gorgo]]''.

[[AC:Segment 3]]
* Mike tries to play TabletopGame/TrivialPursuit: William Sylvester edition with Crow and Servo, but the two don't care.

[[AC:Segment 4]]
* The Nanites set up a circus with live animals, carnival games, acrobats and Nate the Clown. Mike drops some quarters, which causes chaos and destruction to the circus and Nate the Clown.

[[AC:Segment 5]]
* Crow and Servo are screwed with the mob over erotic calenders, as they can't find a single woman in today's film. Mike points two; one in Nara Island, another during Mama Gorgo's rampage. Pearl and Maltin are shocked as the film gave no effect to Mike or the Bots. For a worse film, Maltin suggests one with Mickey Rourke, and teams up with Pearl for future experiments.

* CelebrityResemblance: One of the charters Mike and the Bots see is dubbed Samuel Beckett.



* HeyItsThatGuy: Mike tries to invoke this while trying to play Trivial Pursuit: William Sylvester edition, noting that he appeared in [[Series/GeminiMan Riding With Death]] and Film/DevilDoll.



** FridgeHorror: This is the last episode where the nanites appear, and they're never mentioned again.

* TheCameo: Leonard Maltin appears to advise Pearl on what bad movies to show Mike and the bots. He recommends this, though he confesses to liking it himself (having given it an above-average rating in his movie guide), although it supposedly put some of his assistants into intensive care..
