Big stars in a bad movie.

Ah yes. The one with the teddy bear computer guide.

All kidding aside, I liked that movie.

Why, yes.....that looks exactly like a Russian lander to me. Either that, or a cotton ball.

Nah, that’s not Yuri Gagarin’s skeleton on the moon. In the absence of an atmosphere on the moon, the flesh would not decay in the classical sense. I think this is the mummified remains of the still-born hybrid offspring of Yuri and a female alien he met while on the moon.

Cable rated it 1-star, which is baaaaaaaaaaad. Regardless, I was tempted, but went with the "Bar Rescue" marathon instead.
