Take a left at L2. Dave's van is parked out front, you can't miss it.
"While Briteis relaxes in the chaise lounge, Jim will attempt to subdue the angry spy..."
"Y'know, these Moon Men have uses for plywood we haven't even dreamed of yet!"
Oh, I'm not sorry for that one! That felt wonderful! Oh... I shouldn't do that in a pressure suit...
Yeah, a guy in a leather jacket with his butt on fire -- they'll never notice that!
Initiate cheesey effects sequence. Roger that! Initiating cheesey effects.
"Here's the pitch ... and it's a home run for Brooklyn!!!"
Ah ... this is the future when they sold the Dodgers back to Brooklyn.
"Well, they missed, but how are we gonna get a cliff-hanging ending for this episode?"
If I had brought that straight edge we'd've made it to the moon in half the time.
Okay, let's see- bathroom stuff, books, knicknacks, kids' room... hey, where's that ray gun, anyway??

Of course they had to get married right before the ending credits. It was 1953 and they had to keep it respectable. The audience knew those two were going to knock space boots all the way back earth!
Dr. F - "Come in Joel, my little spunk-dumpling."
o_0 After that endearment, no invention exchange can be truly disturbing. Though you'd think the Mads would know better than to mess with ants after the whole Phase IV thing...

@ 23:05 - Did Crow just say "Take a left at L2"? As in Lagrange Point 2? On the far side of the Moon? Wow, that was nerdy. And awesome!
This episode probably has the second-most annoying sound of the whole MST series: that awful, incessant ERP ERP ERP ERP ERP ERP ERP ERP alarm that is present in about half of the feature. I can't think of any other noise that gets under my skin other than the machine from The Projected Man.

According to wikipedia, this movie was unusual in depicting women in roles of authority equal to men. So that would explain the "follow my orders, little lady, or get a spanking" scene, then?

This movie got me curious...is it possible to fall to your death on the moon? I mean, the gravity is so low you'd think even if you fell from a high place, you wouldn't be hurt too bad...or not at all.
Well, I'm not an expert on this kind of thing. But I THINK based on how it is on Earth, in order for a fall to be lethal, it would have to be at a point six times higher than it would be lethal on Earth.
Umm...they DID say you're 1/6 your weight on the moon, right?

Notice they intentionally mis-pronounce her name as "Bright eyes". Only 10 years later, Spaceman Charleton Heston lands on the Planet of the Apes and is called... "Bright Eyes". Coincidence?
These segments pieced together that don't really blend well remind me of Steve Martin's "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid"... Well, except that Steve Martin is a genius.

Like "Time of the Apes," "Master Ninja" and "Mighty Jack," this movie was pieced together from episodes of a TV show (an unaired American series called "Ring Around the Moon"). So instead of two serial parts followed by a feature, we get two serial parts followed by a bunch more parts of an unrelated serial. The riffing is good and the host segments are classics, but it's hard to find anything to like about the movie.
