My lil bit of mst3k fame claiming is: the movie Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders was shot in and around my hometown *and* I knew one of the kids in the movie, albeit when we were older, *and* he was the stupidest person I've ever met.

Just to say, the politics of the original Battlestar are horrific. It never gets made post Gaza.

As for Rosenbaum's criticism, they did cover a version of Hamlet once...

Luke, I recently tried canoeing and kayaking for the first time at a small lake and thought the former was a lot of fun and the latter was pretty aggravating. What are your thoughts on canoe vs kayak, and what would you recommend a burgeoning adventurer to go with?

**HIGHLY** recommend checking out the Rifftrax riffs on the Star Trek films, specifically the Shatner ones also, the only way I've ever watched Twilight or Michael Bay's Transformers was w/ Rifftrax accompaniment -- no regrets!

Luke I gotta recommend doing a Tim River loop at some point in Algonquin if you haven’t already - access points are near Kearney, so they’re more secluded than the big southern access points and the further in you go the less people you’ll see ofc. I’ve seen multiple moose every time I’ve done trips around there and paddling on that little river is awesome!

Nothing to make me feel more like a chopped unc than having my two favorite culture critics (who are ~5 years my junior) have to explain one of the timeless GOATs to the youths, why it is in fact a timeless GOAT (or is it?!)

This one brought out the feelings. Mst3k was a massive influence on my personality. You guys nailed it with the point that the show lets you be in on jokes that feel like they're just for you. I would posit that Manos: the Hands of Fate is a folk horror with anticolonial politics that make it worth a deeper look.

Replying late, but how lovely of you guys to refer to my prompt during the episode 😊 I’ll elaborate further elsewhere, but just to add about “punching down”, I do agree that the phrasing is poor. Jeremy Mele below described his discovery of MST3K through nostalgia critic. I watched channel awesome stuff when I was around 12 y/o and there definitely was a dissonance b/t the site’s goatee’d, Gen-X guys avowedly indebted to Kevin Smith and MST3K, all-the-while pumping out content for 12-14 year olds (ca. 2013) who have no idea who these frames of reference are. The sour taste from these associations for sure sticks with me, so I guess it’s an instance of “hate the fans, not the band”. Anyway, the opening riffs from the robots made me laugh out loud, so I’m checking them out ASAP - you guys definitely give them a more positive association than the anti-intellectualism/cynicism of the Channel Awesome, 100 IQ “critics” (low bar, but I hope the sentiment rings through 👍)
