Jackey/Debbie- Thank you so much for visiting our little corner of the interwebs! I've really enjoyed your blog and as a dumb fan, I'm thrilled to see you embracing your Manos past.
I also loved to read about your dad's brush with Kennedy on that fateful day. Has he seen the MST episode? (Your dad, not Kennedy).

Off the top of my head, John Carradine is in The Unearthly and Red Zone Cuba. He's also in a few of the Cinematic Titanic and Rifftrax VOD movies (Legacy of Blood, Frankenstein Island).
I don't recall Vincent Price in any MST eps.

Bummer that they didn't give Mike credit, since he wrote the song.

No doubt about it, the contest of the year. I applaud continosbuckle for his impressive memory and research ability to come up with so many puzzlers. And to everyone who put in the time and grey matter to figure them out. Huzzah for everyone!

Well that was a hell of a thing.
What a sloppy, sloppy game. When I posted about the Broncos secondary, I had no idea they'd all get knocked out and give Brady the practice team to throw against. Still, much respect and congrats to you, Dave, and your Pats. That third quarter was a major league beat down.

Sky already posted a link to her blog, but this post is worth reading and might lead to some more valuable questions than just more anecdotes about Torgo.

I feel somewhat optimistic about it. For some reason, the Pats don't seem as intimidating this year. I'm very interested in seeing how the Broncos secondary deals with Brady. They are better than they get credit for, and the Broncos will win if they can keep it from becoming a shootout. But if they keep a linebacker on Gronk, it might be a nailbiter.

I love them. In fact, I vastly prefer them to almost all of season 1 and at least half of season 2. I'm not a big Josh fan, and the host segments are understandably low budget. The thrown-together feel is an acquired taste, to be sure.
But all of that aside, the movies are just far superior to the ugly, underlit, grainy, painful films of the first 2 seasons. I'm a sucker for '70s made-for-TV films with C-grade actors, so Superdome, SST Death Flight, City on Fire and The Last Chase are pure gold for me. Throw in experimental riffing (sparse though it may be), and I'm overjoyed.
Give me Sumuru over Mad Monster; Cosmic Princess over Commando Cody. Let's see, I could watch Phantom Creeps part 3 followed by Ring of Terror or I could throw in Hangar 18 and watch Darren McGavin, Gary Collins, and Robert Vaughn solve UFO mysteries. KTMA every time.

It might be The Crawling Eye, but that was the Alps, not the arctic. The second half of the movie is the attack on the research station.
And Mod City Johnson is right. These requests go in the Episode Help thread.

I know I've read more than one interview online with Joel where he basically said it will never happen for both rights issues and (especially) quality issues. He compared them to a garage band's demo tapes, as I recall.
If you poke around here enough, you'll find some links to interviews with most of the Brains. I'm sure the question has been asked of Kevin & Trace, as well.

I'm very curious to see how the Broncos come out of their bye week against the Chargers & Chiefs. How banged up is Manning? Like last year at season's end, he's showing signs that he can't throw farther than 10 yards with any zip. Can they fix their protection flaws and turnover propensity? Can their secondary cover anyone against a good QB? They've proven they can win the 52-49 games, but what if they have to beat a team with a good pass rush and an above average passing game? You know, like the Chiefs.
The Pats have looked beatable this year. They eked out some wins against mediocre teams, and the lack of skill players on offense makes me doubt that they can keep up with the Broncos on the scoreboard. However, if the Broncos are still playing sloppy for a late November game in Foxboro, then all bets are off. Still, of the upcoming games, I'm more worried about the Chiefs in Arrowhead than I am about the Patriots.

All of the episodes from 405 to 519 had the "Reel one!" card and voiceover. I would think any of the master tapes/DVDs of these episodes would include it. I wonder if the other Shout releases of this chunk of episodes include it.

I'm happy to be the first to go with Zigra. Every time I watch it, I enjoy it more. It's not as goofy as Guiron, but it's close. You have the weird Zigra lady running around, the underwater bowl of candy, the random fish argument scene, and Gamera playing his theme song on Zigra like a xylophone. Plus, Helen and her Cokes.
As for Hercules, I'll vote for Unchained. I like that the plot is almost follow-able, the ridiculousness of Ulysses pretending to be mute, and the brothers' sword fight at the end. Also, the lusty queen is not hard to look at-- even with her spooky eyebrows.

It's a good year to be a Broncos fan...so far. The last few games have been very sloppy, with dumb turnovers and bad play calling. The sudden 30-point outbursts hide the fact that much of the game is mistake-filled and frustrating, not to mention that Manning's passes are getting more wobbly every week. Considering they've lost 2 games in their last 21, I shouldn't really complain. But those 2 losses showed that if an opposing QB can throw deep with any accuracy, the Broncos are very beatable. Let's just say I don't want to meet the Colts again (or the Bengals in cold weather) in January.

Saltalamacchia never should have made that throw, but the Red Sox got hosed on that call. And once again the Cardinals fall ass-backwards into a win that their entitled and smug fan base will hold up as proof of their inherent superiority.
