Overdrawn at the Memory Bank

Decided to try getting another movie shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000 to Featured Article status. This time around its Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, a major for public television movie starring the late great Raul Julia. A very bizarre science fiction film that tries its best to be profound but ends up being pretty confusing at times. Still a fun movie to watch and I believe that the article meets FAC criteria. Always looking forward for critiques, however. GamerPro64 23:55, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"It was directed Douglas Williams directed the film" - some mangled wording there

"Paul Chaplin voiced his hatred" - is he also a cast member?
- Cast member and writer for the show. Clarified. GamerPro64 00:07, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"PBS and its pledge drives were also satirized throughout this episode." - source?
- That does happen in the episode, more satirizing public access stations and their pledge drives. Don't think I can find a proper source beyond the show so I'll remove it. GamerPro64 00:07, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
