Just this guy.

I dig MST3K, film, retro games, Muppets, Iron Chef, hosted movie shows, birdwatching, horror/sci-fi, pro wrestling, oldies/jazz music, coffee mugs, tacky aloha shirts, etc.

Howdy!

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched?

I staked a claim in a disappointing trilogy conclusion, went crazy watching Dan Aykroyd and Walter Matthau, revisited a tried-and-true holiday favorite, and fixed a traditional Thanksgiving dinner of toast, popcorn, and jelly beans.

Up next is MST3K vs. Boggy Creek II: The Legend Continues.

This has one of my all-time favorite riffs in the series:

woman: "How much gas do we have?"
Crow: "We have E gallons."

REAL TALK: I miss those commercial bumpers that they used only for Season 11. They added this fun layer of warmth like you were watching an old school TV presentation, while at the same time commenting on the film or providing MST3K lore.

"You're watching MST3K, Moon 13, The Moon!"

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS :D

Next up is The Beast of Hollow Mountain! A rare MST3K'd Western, this Season 11 gem has so much to offer, including one of the most hysterical reveals you could ever get with a movie of this kind.

It's been some time... can't wait to dive back into this one!

I'm also watching MST3K alongside Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, and John Candy just got to that part where he was talking about feeling like a big Whopper and laughing to beat all hell, and...

... ohmuhgawd, the happy tears involved with seeing him work.

Bless that man forever.

It took me an EMBARRASSINGLY HIGH number of rewatches before I noticed that Nick has cardboard cutouts of the leading trio from Back to the Future 3.

Right now?

IT'S TIME CHASERS, BAYBAY :D

We're gonna go fly though another Spirograph!

AND OH SNAP!

For me, it's starting with the short "What to Do on a Date," featuring a dialogue-less background character who looks and moves so much like me, I honestly thought I traveled back in time somehow through some weird kinda temporal paradox the first time I watched it!

"What's today?"

"Pardon?"

"What's today, my fine fellow?"

"Today? Why, today is MST3K Turkey Day!"

"It's MST3K Turkey Day? I haven't missed it. The spirits did it all in one night. They can do anything they like. Of course they can. Of course they can!"

"Uh, of course they can!"

:D

Thank you very, very much, and the very same Adam West spiritedness right on over to you, my friend!
November 27, 2025 at 12:59 PM
Those are great choices, aye! :D

I lean towards his goofball Steve Reeves in the Hercules Unchained episode.

There's also much to say about his Lead Observer from MST3K's Sci-Fi Channel days...

We have a panel on hand ready to discuss this very point.
