Tom is a terrible Dungeon Master. NO WAY should a bunch of Level One PCs have a random encounter with a balrog! Have 'em beat down some kobolds first, geez...

More Cody: I wonder what vehicle was used as a base for that dumb "moon tank"- a WWII surplus Willys Jeep?

Holy Crap, guys! I hate myself, but I JUST got the reference in the host segments. At one point, Flavia mentions the emperor's violin concert. And then, at the end of the episode, Bobo knocks over a candle, starting a big fire.

I feel shame as a history buff for not making that connection a long time ago.

Proper pronunciations; [zar-uh-thoo-struh] and [you-rey-nus]! Not [urine-us], I so hate PC!

"Josh Weinstein" is not usually the first name that comes to mind when you think of the people behind MST3K, but his contributions were enormous. Besides helping to write the theme song, performing in front of and behind the camera, writing gags and operating puppets from the KTMA days onward, Weinstein reportedly discovered a struggling young comedian named Mike Nelson and asked him to join the crew. He makes a quiet, graceful exit at the end of this episode (while wearing several pounds of green makeup).

Crow (0:53:50): "It's Lou Reed!"

RIP

This movie is every bit as ignorant of physics as "Rocketship XM", and that's saying something!

I think the reason fans were okay with Mike taking Joel's place was because everyone thought to themselves, "Hey, it's that guy who played every side character during the host segments."

How DID the 'bots strip off Mike's boxers? It's an interesting topological puzzle...

I am so thrilled. Finally, an Ed Wood movie gets the MST3k treatment!

That monster looks like it's straight out of an old school Doctor Who episode

Tom looks good in a fez. He has the right head for it.
