Hercules Against the Moon Men
I just adore this episode. There’s a song about Pants for crying out loud, what’s not to love?

Just never liked Warrior as a movie. Also, Hercules movies are always ideal for riffing!

This was one of the very first episodes I ever saw. I only saw a handful of episodes while the original MST was in production. I spent years living off the few I taped off TV, constantly hoping I would be able to watch more.

I know it's not in this episode but "Hercu-LEAP" is one of the best riffs of all time..

Except for battling some rubber suit (or even paper Mache; I'm looking at you, THE LOVES OF HERCULES) lizards, Herc rarely got involved in genuinely supernatural shenanigan's. Which is what makes MOON MEN such a treat -- even if the pivotal fight takes place for like 2 minutes at the very end.

This was a tough one, but this Machiste-turned-Herc is just too ridiculous. Heck, it's almost as funny WITHOUT the riffing. It also includes some of my favorite simple riffs that still make me snort. Plus, Jany Clair? I'd lie at her feet...

Because Deeeep Hurrrrtttiiiinnnggg is a household theme. Why doesn't all that sand stick to the body grease?

It has a brief but definite riff concerning DR who, so that makes it superior to warrior of the lost world

WotLW has poorly enough mastered audio that I find it very hard to understand and enjoy.

We have not-Sinbad. Let's add not-Hercules! (He's actually Maciste, a little-known Italian folk hero who's been in films since 1910.) And, admit it, you love to see an old guy die to a spike trap!

This is where Deep Hurting came from. Sandstorm, "Pizza Pizza", Steve Reeves. This delivers the cheese, endless shots of people lost, and the Comedy Central feel. Vintage Joel and an experiment that never gets old.

Every day is Turkey Day when you are watching oiled muscle men! (I don't know what this means.)

My first episode!! Also, maybe the title is one of the greatest string of words to set you for absolutely cornball nonsense ever composed.

I like "Warrior of the Lost World" MUCH more than the Herc movies/episodes however, "Warrior" has been shown twice (2017 & 2018) in the last 5 marathons. So I figured a change of pace is in order. Granted, I doubt Herc will beat the Paper Chase Guy but we'll see.

I get the allure of Megaweapon, Donald Pleasence & the world's awkwardest kiss. But we LITERALLY get GOBBLING sounds when we first see Queen Samara. Can't get more Turkey Day than that! And I'll be so sleepy I can hardly keep awake after gorging on the tasty foods! Unctuous Alan Steel for the win!

Because we all know what was missing from Mad Max: Donald Pleasance.

ReplyPersis Khambatta, Mega Weapon and some guy from The Paper Chase. What could be better? Well. On second thought. Best not to answer that.
ReplyI can't say no to Donald Pleasance. Or Megaweapon.
ReplyI quote many of the riffs from this episode to this day! The fellas were so on point, it's one of my favorites to just randomly put on because it's so good from top to bottom.
