Sorry, I overlooked this earlier. Back in '92 (I think), I didn't tape the feature, King Dinosaur, but this is a case where the short overshadows the main movie. A 1942 New Jersey traffic safety film, XMS starts off slow, as does the riffing, but once we're in a courtroom of the afterlife with Joe Doakes and his overworked Joisey-accented guardian angel, it's good. Note that the references are mostly older than usual, with Nixon being one of the more modern ones.
