Gristle McThornbody

My two latest Netflix acquisitions have not quite piqued my interest in any substantial way, so I’m letting them collect dust while I’ve pawed my way through my VHS cabinet and begun working my way through tapes of MST3K episodes recorded off the Sci-Fi Channel roughly ten years ago. These tapes — there are a couple dozen of them — are in bad shape. The sound is so bad that you have to turn it way up and then endure the high-pitched whining. And yet, it’s worth it. There is not a funnier show than this show. Period.

I can’t for the life of me find my Agent for H.A.R.M. tape, which might be my favorite episode. But my favorite tape contains Devil Doll, Riding With Death, and Space Mutiny. The awesomeness of RwD and SM on one tape has very nearly made my VCR explode.
