Servo and Crow tried to bring WAITING FOR GORGO to Broadway but producers balked when they heard it was only three minutes long.

Let's switch it up a little this Gamuary, and enjoy a kaiju from off the coast of Ireland who destroys downtown London! Yes, this year we're looking at #MST3K 909, GORGO!

Is this also a thin excuse to talk about Samuel Beckett? Yes, of course it is. Happy Gamuary!

Screenshots from the MST3K episode of Gorgo: Gorgo's parent, also a giant kaiju, destroys Tower Bridge. A London bridge is falling down, even if it isn't London Bridge. The harbourmaster at Nara Island, who looks a little bit like Samuel Beckett. Crow and Tom in their production of Waiting for Gorgo. And Pearl is hanging out with Leonard Maltin? OK, sure.

Happy holidays! Let's see what's in this box...

Oh. It's Munchie.

That's right, we're looking at #MST3K 1304, Munchie, and arguing that it's a holiday movie! It's a terrible argument but it's ours and we're sticking to it.

Listen at itsjustashow.com/episode/187 or on your podcast app. Ho ho ho!
Screenshots from the MST3K episode on Munchie. Here, Munchie is revealed, with fireworks. He's terrifying to behold (but perhaps even more terrifying to listen to). Cathy (Loni Anderson) looks on as her creepy boyfriend Elliot (Andrew Stevens with a micro-Ned Flanders moustache) says weird things to her son. Munchie drives a jeep in front of the moon, in a classic movie homage that even a child could recognize. Meanwhile on an SoL, Jonah is dressed up as a rock star, showing ever so much chest, and pouting. Crow and Tom look on.

As a holiday treat for our Patreon supporters, Chris & Charlotte joined other Megaphonic podcasters to talk about SONG OF NORWAY, a 1970 musical biopic about the composer Edvard Grieg.

The movie isn't worth watching. But it was fun to talk about for 2 hours!

In at least two episodes of Hogan's Heroes, there's a very familiar actress, who has played an undercover Gestapo agent. It turns out that it's Ulla Strömstedt, aka, "Creepy Girl" from Catalina Caper!

In our new episode, we look at #MST3K 603, THE DEAD TALK BACK. (Or do they?) With Crow dressed up as Jerry Garcia and a short about selling cabinets to sell more ice cream, this has something for everyone.

Listen at itsjustashow.com/episode/186 or on your podcast app. Enjoy!
Screenshots from the MST3K episode The Dead Talk Back. Here, a scientist in his laboratory attempts to speak with the spirit of a murder victim, whose body is in a glass vitrine behind him. It's all very scientific. A model, dressed up as a pizza dominatrix, waves her magic wand over a large ice cream display chest. It's very marketing. Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank are wearing fedoras and are lit moodily. Frank confesses to every possible crime. They're adorable. Crow, dressed up like Jerry Garcia, is playing a guitar solo. GPC reads War and Peace, Tom plays solitaire, and Mike folds up some sensible slacks while they wait for the solo to end. It does not end.

Happy Turkey Day! On Thanksgiving Day in 1988, the first episode of #MST3K aired — and now, 185 episodes into our podcast, we're ready to talk about it!

We discuss K01, Invaders from the Deep, and the Supermarionation show Stingray that this "movie" comes from, over at itsjustashow.com/episode/185
Screen shots from the MST3K episode on Invaders from the Deep. On the Satellite of Love, Joel introduces us to the show — kind of. Phones and Troy Tempest pilot the underwater vessel Stingray, with the silent Marina sitting in the back. One of the underwater baddies has Marina strapped to a chair. She only has a few marine minutes to escape! Back on the SoL, GPC has come down with a bad case of foam. Not FOMO, just foam. (Don't worry, she'll be fine.)

Before our big Turkey Day episode, let's take a look at a short that was meant for the ill-fated #MST3K CD-ROM: Assignment: Venezuela!

And let's try to keep it light, hm? Yes? No? Oh.

Listen at itsjustashow.com/episode/184b or on your podcast app.
Screenshots from the MST3K short, Assignment: Venezuela. An American gets off the plane for a new job in Venezuela. Good thing he speaks a few words of Spanish, kinda! Meanwhile his wife and kids are back in the US, waiting to join him. Our American businessman is hard at work, sitting near a pool, enjoying the local, uh, scenery. Oil is extracted from Lake Maracaibo.

Our latest episode looks at #MST3K 1005, BLOOD WATERS OF DR. Z (aka Zaat). It's got more fish in it than you can shake a stick at. Or a fishing pole at. Or something. Insert fish pun here.

Listen on your podcast app or at itsjustashow.com/episode/184
Screenshots from the MST3K episode on Blood Waters of Dr. Z. Here, a sargassum fish hides amongst the sargassum plant. Inspirational! Our man-turned-fish anti-hero looks at his to-do list, which is unexpectedly shaped like a many-layered wheel. On board the Satellite of Love, Crow is getting into dip. Which, yuck. Brain Guy and Bobo do a scene from Glengarry Glen Ross — in the buff. Does it improve things? Sound off in the comments!

Our Donald Pleasence Day episode is spectacularly late (sorry) but here it is! Please enjoy all the familiar faces you'll find in #MST3K K15, Superdome, a made-for-tv movie about bad things happening at the Super Bowl.

Listen at itsjustashow.com/episode/183 or on your podcast app.
Screen shots from the MST3K episode on Superdome. Here, Tom Selleck, chest and moustache fully on display, plays a star quarterback, hanging out in the locker room, getting ready for a pre-game soak in the electric whirlpool. David Janssen plays the general manager of the team. Donna Mills (spoiler alert) is the one doing all the killing. Is she about to kill David Janssen? M. Emmet Walsh as the team physician, who (again, spoilers) Donna Mills does kill.

If you listened to me talking to Charlotte all about Ed Wood's last movies and thought "I need MORE!" — well, here are some other folks talking about them.

Also I need to grab @willsloanesq.bsky.social's book about Ed Wood at my local bookstore. (They have six copies in stock!)
jessehawken.bsky.social Jesse Hawken @jessehawken.bsky.social · Oct 17
On the latest @junkfilterpod.bsky.social, @willsloanesq.bsky.social returns to discuss his new book ED WOOD: MADE IN HOLLYWOOD USA and the final frontier of his cinema: his Late Style works. We watched 4 of his XXX features. Can your hearts stand the shocking facts?

"Why don't they look (at #MST3K 520, Radar Secret Service, with the short Last Clear Chance)???" We finally looked. Our Sam Newfield festival continues — and hey, why don't we also check Newfield's most notorious film, The Terror of Tiny Town?

On your podcast app or itsjustashow.com/episode/182
Screen shots of MST3K's episode, Radar Secret Service. Here, a distant train is coming at us down the tracks. Danger! Two engineers look at (an offscreen) tragedy caused by their bloodthirsty trains. "Why don't they look?" one of them asks. In a different movie, a metal ball on top of a car from the 40s lets you know that RADAR is on its way! (This Radar Secret Service doesn't seem like much of a secret.) Down in Deep 13, Dr. F and TV's Frank (in a beard) talk about the Hypno Helio Static Statis in today's film that makes it so boring. (All of the walls of Deep 13 seem pretty stable.)

I haven't heard the Growing Up with Manos audiobook, but the book itself is a delight. And weren't we just talking about how fun we found Frank's reading of Twenty Five MST3K Films....? So, you know, treat yourself.
