<CROW> C'mon Servo, what about Ernest Borgnine?
<TOM> Overrated! We had John Saxon AND George Peppard! All "The Black
Hole" had was cheesey effects and bad box office!

<MIKE> Well of course it is, Tom.
<TOM> And why is that, Leonard Maltin?
<MIKE> "The Black Hole" was produced by Disney. "Battle Beyond the Stars"
was produced by Roger Corman.
