Brief Explanation

The voice of Mr. Moviefone - a call-in information service that's been around for years - is highly recognisable and iconic. For this spoof, we managed to get the actual voice of Mr. Moviefone to play along and parody himself.

Hence, the listeners were highly surprised as the standard Moviefone intro suddenly became a breakdown on an absurd list of imaginary sequels, rather than the standard descriptions of movies currently playing.
