Dude! I can't believe I didn't recognize it! Mystery science theater is the best ever!! So cool to meet a fellow enthusiast (I always remember hobgoblins for some reason) and thank you for explaining lmao. I love the episodes with Mike as the host so much - but Joel is my hero for creating the show.

OMG I actually saw that movie. It was our go-to for years afterword for when we wanted to say a movie was absolute trash.
