Gizmonic Institute Radio: Your MST3K Companion

Renea and Jeff explore new uses for the ridiculous amount of clam juice they always seem to have on hand. Clam juice ice cream? Sure. Clam gel? Ok. Skim Clam Juice? Huh. The crew also discusses MST3K S4E8 - Hercules Unchained!

Dr. Odd discusses space zoology with Jeff and Renea and then tells the origin story of the evil AI Fats Geronimo. Jeff and Renea send a space message. The crew also discusses MST3K S11E6 - Starcrash!

Renea plays music, and then the crew encounters some wild space dogs. They also discuss MST3K S4E7 - The Killer Shrews. Radiation is a magical artist!

Renea and Dr. Odd make Jeff cry, Dr. Odd gives the crew an astrology lesson, and then people make New Year's resolutions. The crew also discusses MST3K S11E5 - The Beast of Hollow Mountain!

Renea falls asleep, and Dr. Odd does some architecture. Then Dr. Odd receives a surprised visit from his mother Maude. The crew also discusses MST3K S4E6 - Attack of the Giant Leeches!

This week Dr. Odd pitches his biography to Jeff and Renea, and discusses past Babar The Elephant related traumas. They also discuss MST3K S11E4 - Avalanche!

Jeff and Renea are recovering the last few weeks, after Dr. Odd took them on a summer vacation. They also discuss MST3K S4E5 - Being From Another Planet!

Jeff and Renea hack Dr. Odd's Netflix account, and have a great time going through his viewing history. They also discuss MST3K S11E3 - The Time Travelers. What Are When?!?

Someone a long time ago once said “the Pen is mightier than the Sword”. Well up here in space we have neither pens nor swords, but Renea STILL managed to write a fairly lengthy space station newsletter. Maybe “newsletter” should be put in quotes? Aside from a rather interesting website write up, the other 900+ pages are somewhat questionable…

This week we discussed MST3K S4E4 – Teenagers From Outer Space. Not only is this a very good MST3K episode, but the film itself isn’t half bad either! All-in-all both Jeff and Renea enjoyed this episode quite a bit – particularly, but not limited to, anything directly related to really fake-y skeletons.

Do you ever metaphorically feel like things are out of control, and someone else is at the wheel? We literally feel that way this episode when we meet the unfortunate creature that Dr. Odd has tasked with piloting our ship (as well as a few other unsavory jobs).

This episode we discuss MST3K S11E2 – Cry Wilderness, a movie featuring a littering Bigfoot, and a lot of bowl cuts. Fortunately (despite the high ratio of bad hair) this turned out to be a fantastic MST3K episode – not just for the new season, but one of the best in the series.
