Episode 58 – Being From Another Planet




Gizmonic Institute Radio: Your MST3K Companion show

Summary: <a href="http://supertotallyawesome.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/iTunesNewGIR.png"></a><br> Summer is almost over which means it’s time to cram as much fun in the sun as you can before fall arrives! Dr. Odd actually took us on a “family” vacation, that unfortunately featured about a 1% to 99% ratio of fun to sun. At least it was nice to get down from space for once… maybe…<br> This week we discuss MST3K S4E5 – Being From Another Planet, a mummy movie so bad that it almost breaks Joel and the Bots, as well as the viewers at home. Both Being From Another Planet and Castle of Fu Manchu are proof that a film can be so bad, that even great riffing can’t make it entertaining. Buried among the wreckage of this film though, is one of the best invention exchange ideas ever with the Mads’ “Tragic Moment Figurines”, which is a tragedy in and of itself because a sketch that good should have been saved for a much better episode.<br> Once you’re done listening, head over to our <a href="http://facebook.com/gizmonicinstituteradio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">facebook page</a> and discuss MST3K and MST3K related things with other like minded people (seriously, our community is the most awesome one anywhere online) and <a href="http://twitter.com/MST3K_Podcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">follow us on Twitter.</a> If you love the show and want to support the podcast even more, we have a <a href="http://patreon.com/gizmonic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patreon page</a> where for just a dollar a month, you can access our other podcast Dr. Odd’s Cinematic Fun Dumpster, where Dr. Odd makes us watch and discuss a film of his choice (spoiler alert: Dr. Odd has terrible taste in everything).
