Featuring comedians Creator/DanAykroyd, Creator/JohnCandy, Creator/CheechAndChong, and Creator/GildaRadner in a number of framing segments, the film fondly remembers and pokes fun at the genre in sections like [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Giants]] and [[IncredibleShrinkingMan Little People]], [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters]], [[BrainInAJar Brains]], etc. Some framing clips have a simple story, like a little girl (Radner) on her bed talking about scary movies, or Cheech and Chong going to the movies and talking about the films as if they are watching them. At one point Candy and Aykroyd host a short celebration of Creator/EdWood.

* Fire Maidens from Outer Space (1956)

-->'''Tommy:''' Hey. Want some "Mary Jane"?\\
'''Cheech:''' Thanks, "hepcat".\\

* AffectionateParody: In a way, the responses to the clips aren't hostile, just snarky, which makes the movie more of a tribute than a put-down. It's noticeable when the film-makers dedicate an entire section to EdWood and actually speak well of him as a GiftedlyBad director/writer.
