b'It\\u2019s the Rocket Surgery Film Festival! In this episode, we\\u2019re watching something that proves that computer-game film adaptations were a bad idea from the very beginning! Based on a late 1970s Atari game, it\\u2019s the ill-fated \\u201cStar Raiders.\\u201d There\\u2019s a not-dashing star pilot, a sullen space princess, an annoying robot, and is that Sheriff Lobo in a tight-fitting jumpsuit? If you\\u2019re looking for a cross between \\u201cStar Wars\\u201d and \\u201cRaiders of the Lost Ark\\u201d, are you in for some disappointment. Once again, we watched the movie so you don\\u2019t have to. Correction: Due to a clerical error, none of these movies actually exist. This episode was entirely improvised.'
