South Park, Vol. 05: Starvin' Marvin/Mecha-Streisand [VHS] - Region 0

"Mecha Streisand" was a chance for Parker and Stone to unleash their hatred of Barbra Streisand (as they capriciously state in their filmed introduction). Paying tribute to the Japanese monster-duel movies of the 1960s like Godzilla, the story hilariously portrays Streisand as a rich, egomaniacal celebrity (wonder why) hell-bent on finding the missing relic that will transform her into a giant metal Barbra--a monster who crushes South Park's buildings at one moment while pausing to sign an autograph for Kyle's mother the next. Another highlight of "Mecha-Streisand" is the portrayal of a cynical, laid-back Leonard Maltin who, teamed with Sydney Poitier and Robert Smith of the Cure, band together to battle the evil "Mecha-Streisand." Don't miss "Mecha-Streisand." (For adults only.) --Karen Karleski
