Going through my DVDs the other day, I discovered an old DVR-R of the Diamond Head ep.
I know I watched this ep at least once.
Problem is, I can't remember any of it.
Not the movie. Not the host segments. Not even whether I liked the ep or not.
Weird.
You'd think if I'd hated the episode, I'd at least remember that. I remember not liking Catalina Caper or Blood Waters of Doctor Z.
But Diamond Head? Dial tone.
Any MST3K episodes you've seen that you've drawn a complete blank on?

Ep. 902 - The Space Children. I can never, ever remember a thing about this episode. I've even gone back and rewatched just to refresh my memory, but in short time, I just forget everything about it. I have a vague memory that it has a sorta "known" actor, but I can't remember who it is (I just looked it up - Jackie Coogan aka Uncle Fester).
I even forget that it has a short, which is weird since they only did 3 shorts during the SciFi era. I remember Gumby and I remember Coily, but I always forget this one.

I don't remember much of Fire Maidens From Outer Space aside from the fact that it's the Timmy episode.

Castle of Fu Manchu, nothing retains. That and Eegah for some reason.

There are certain genres that cause my brain to go offline.
There's the spy movie; Agent for Harm and Secret Agent Superdragon come to mind. Right now, I'm not sure if I could name a single thing that happens in Superdragon. When I was trying to come up with DVD cover ideas, I forgot what was going on about halfway through the movie. It's like there's a subliminal amnesia thing going on.
Then there's the Russo/Finnish epics (except for Jack Frost). I think it's the poorly translated, terribly dubbed dialogue with the westernizing of Russian history/folk tales, but I can never figure out what the hell is going on, and I zone out. It doesn't help that every character seems to be yelling constantly (I want to kill that SAMPO! woman), and that drives me insane.
Finally there's those Hercules myths. In every one, shirtless Herc flexes, sucks in his gut, meets a lovely woman who may or may not be evil, and then I completely lose track of what's going on. I don't know if the plots are convoluted, or if they're just edited too much for tv, but I just lose interest every time I watch these. Sandstorm scenes don't help either.

Plissken, there is two reasons I have been able to remember anything about Agent for Harm and they're both to do with Kevin's genius.
Matlock Bobo and Kevin's oh so helpful advice to a just felt up sexy niece "tuck it back in sweetheart"

The only thing I can remember about Mad Monster is the spot I'm able to recognize having seen before I fell asleep.

The only thing I can remember about Mad Monster is the spot I'm able to recognize having seen before I fell asleep. My thoughts exactly. Same with episode 102, Robot Vs. The Aztec Mummy. Season 10's "It Lives By Night" has never struck me as a very memorable episode in the same way as above in that I don't remember anything about the movie (except that it involves bats), I can't recall any riffs, nor remember anything about the host segments. I remember more from HAMLET than I do this episode! I also don't remember a whole lot from Track of the Moon Best, except for "CALIFORNIA LAAAAAAAAAAAADYYYYYY!!!" In the ACEG, Frank mentions that he has no recollection of ever doing "Stranded in Space", and he honestly recalled nothing from the movie, or the episode in general. |

Wow, Plissken.. my experience is exactly opposite. I *love* the Russo-Finnish films, and the Hercs are probably some of my favourites! Well.. at least the Steve Reeves ones.
Sword and the Dragon is, by far, the most under-rated episode of the whole series in my opinion. Mileage varies of course.

I love the Russo-Finnish episodes, but "The Magic Voyage of Sinbad" and "The Sword and the Dragon" get mixed up in my brain all the time.

In the ACEG, Frank mentions that he has no recollection of ever doing "Stranded in Space", and he honestly recalled nothing from the movie, or the episode in general. Actually, I think his comment was that the movie was wholly undistinguished. It wasn't bad. It wasn't good. It didn't leave much of an impression. It was inoffensive and indistinct. The episode in the ACEG that they claimed to have no recollection of was Moon Zero Two. |

Sword and the Dragon has one of the most beautiful shots ever when the beefy hero just got the horse and rides up on a cliff overlooking the vast horizon and there's a river running through, everything is in sillhuotte though except the river and dark orange sky.

Yup, Stranded in Space. I've even made a point of watching it again when I read the Guide but nothing ever stays. It's not even the worst/most boring movie by a long shot, but nothing is retained.
Mighty Jack, Fu Manchu, and R v AM because they are, sorry, boring movies. I keep meaning to watch them again, give 'em another chance, but High School Big Shot tempts me and off I go.
Oh, wow, it's all soft and stuff when we kiss!

This doesn't really fit with what the O.P. is talking about, but I did have a strange thing that happened to me. In that I could remember some of the episode "Magic Voyage of Sinbad." and I could remember the "Rat Pack Chess set" invention exchange...but for some reason my mind didn't put these two memories together. They were weren't connected in my mind till I finally saw the episode again a few years ago.

It’s funny that some of the eps people mentioned (It Lives by Night and Track of the Moon Beast) are two of my top faves and I probably have them completely memorized by now ;D. I would say the ones I remember the least about are Radar Secret Service and Castle of Fu Manchu. I have watched both of them several times over the years and can’t really remember much about them. I think there’s a scene of people riding bikes in Fu Manchu but I can’t remember anything about RSS.
