Joss Whedon in 5 (imaginary) movies about your favourite childhood games

Monday 1 March 2010, by Webmaster

1.) Joss Whedon’s POGs

Genre: Slumber party space odyssey Plot: Earth is under the thrall of the so-called "POG Tribunal," which consists of three despotic demon races: the Ankylosaurus-like "Pineapples," the mottled, vampiric "Oranges," and the "Guavas," who look like exactly like humans but smell vaguely of fruit punch. The POGs have barricaded our planet behind a impenetrable force field and are mind-wiping all survivors for use as domestics. Earth has only one hope to break this barricade: the starship Slammer, which is piloted by a trio of brassy sorceresses known as the Furies. The Furies are perpetually accompanied by their janitor, Ralston, who suffers from psychosomatic erectile dysfunction.

Cast:

Maxi Fleetfoot: Charisma Carpenter

Mag Sammich: Eliza Dushku

Lt. Zeena Spandau: Summer Glau

Ralston: Alan Tudyk

Sample Scene: [Interior of the Slammer. RALSTON has some down time and is enjoying his favorite hobby: macramé]

RALSTON: The sooner I macramé this ski cap, the sooner my ears will be warm. Mmmm, macraméy.

[MAG SAMMICH, MAXI FLEETFOOT, and ZEENA SPANDAU stride in.]

MAG: Get the fuck out of here, Ralston. The Herkies need the conference room.

["The Herkies," of course, is the Furies’ pet term for themselves, as they compare their gang of space vigilantes to the 1960s Hanna-Barbera cartoon The Herculoids.]

RALSTON: Sigh. Now it is time for me to be alone. In space. Appropriate.

[RALSTON shambles off. He falls asleep in an air lock and asphyxiates whilst clutching a pair of gym shorts he purloined from Zeena’s boudoir.]
