G.I. JOE – Cold Slither

  • Title: G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Cold Slither
  • wiki: link

For your Saturday morning cartoon enjoyment, we look back in wonder at the genius of “Cold Slither.” An episode of G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero, “Cold Slither” begins with the Joes successful raid of a Cobra treasure stash leaving poor Cobra Commander (Christopher Collins) effectively broke. We even get a scene of Cobra soldiers (still dressed in their uniforms) attempting to apply for unemployment. LOL. And the Joes invade Cobra’s headquarters only to find Xamot (Michael Bell) and Tomax (Corey Burton) auctioning off whatever isn’t nailed down to potential buyers including Mumar Qaddafi, Fidel Castro, and the Ayatollah Khomeini. It’s hard to be a henchman.

Based on the on-again/off-again horror comic from Marvel Comics that found its longest run in the 1970s, Werewolf by Night offers an hour of Disney-fied horror (i.e. bloodless and never quite creepy enough) by brining together a collection of monster hunters on the Bloodstone property in a race to kill a monster and claim the price of the recently deceased Ulysses Bloodstone (a robotically-animated corpse adding to the goofiness of the proceedings) – the Bloodstone.
