Chris and Charlotte (and formerly Adam and Beth) have a friendly conversation about MST3K, and about its weird movies and diverse cultural references. Check it out on your podcast app or at itsjustashow.com.

Screen shots from the MST3K episode Atlantic Rim: Three colour-coded mechs fly over Times Square and attack a kaiju. Notice that Times Square is covered in ads for other movies from The Asylum, makers of Atlantic Rim, such as I Am Omega.

Screenshots from the MST3K episode on Munchie. Here, Munchie is revealed, with fireworks. He's terrifying to behold (but perhaps even more terrifying to listen to).

Screenshots from the MST3K episode The Dead Talk Back. Here, a scientist in his laboratory attempts to speak with the spirit of a murder victim, whose body is in a glass vitrine behind him. It's all very scientific.
Screen shots from the MST3K episode on Invaders from the Deep. On the Satellite of Love, Joel introduces us to the show — kind of.
Screenshots from the MST3K short, Assignment: Venezuela. An American gets off the plane for a new job in Venezuela. Good thing he speaks a few words of Spanish, kinda!
Screenshots from the MST3K episode on Blood Waters of Dr. Z. Here, a sargassum fish hides amongst the sargassum plant. Inspirational!

Screenshot of Donald Pleasence in an amazing shiny top.
Screen shots of MST3K's episode, Radar Secret Service. Here, a distant train is coming at us down the tracks. Danger!
Screenshots from the MST3K episode on I Accuse My Parents. This is from the short, The Truck Farmer, and shows an endless field of crops getting sprayed with an endless supply of chemicals. OK, probably not endless — it's just one guy in a vehicle spraying things — but it looks like not gonna stop any time soon.
Screenshots from the MST3K episode on The Bubble. Here, a man tells the woman who just gave birth to his child that she's already got her sexy figure back.
A screenshot of MST3K's episode on The Bubble. A cab drives down a dirt road, with a random assortment of statues, columns, and pipes on either side of the road.

Screen shots from MST3K's episode on Gunslinger. Here, the new marshal (Beverly Garland!) cautiously starts a romance with a man (John Ireland) who dresses all in black, which isn't suspicious at all.
Screenshots from the MST3K episode of Robot Holocaust. Spoiler: Here we see that the Dark One's henchwoman, Valaria, has been a robot the whole time.

Screenshots from MST3K 109, Project Moon Base. Here we see a space station. Some people say this is the first space station shown in a film. Is that true? It might be true.

A close up on Gamera! Friend to all children!

A screenshot from the first episode of MST3K! Crow stares into the middle distance while Joel (with long hair) tries to figure out what’s wrong with a sick GPC, who is foaming at the mouth. Also there’s a vase on the console, so that’s different.

My Letterboxd "recent activity", featuring the posters for The Love Feast, Take It Out in Trade, Orgy of the Dead, and Don't Let Them In. (The first three of these films are all softcore films connected to Ed Wood.)
The creeping terror itself! It's got a seven foot tall bit in the front topped with phallic eye-stalks, and a long caterpillar-like body behind it. The terror seems to be mostly made out of carpet samples. Scary!
A supersonic jet on its maiden voyage is trying to break the speed record on its way to Paris. Here we see it flying high above the clouds. That's the set-up of SST: Death Flight.
Ed Wood starring in his masterpiece, “Glen or Glenda?”
Donald Pleasence in Puma Man. His name is Pleasence, and he is funky.

A man and a woman dance and sing at the 1956 General Motors Motorama.
