SoL-Mates: Love and MST3K

There sure is a lot of blood in this water, Dr. Z!

Host segments: dork academia aesthetic; oh, wait - THAT fish scientist?; fincels; the genius of Bill Corbett; Florida vs. Flurrrida; two thumbs up for The Rifftrax Experiments; the sheriff is a real music lover; you can't make being a fish-man your identity; excellent riffing; all hail Invisible Cracker Mom; we can make fun of Florida because we love Florida; play as the fish man!

Man - who knew a movie about motorcycle gangs and heroin could be so boring?

Host segments: the wrong fellow; half-day at army; falling asleep and missing nothing; everything is sticky all the time; ticks or no ticks? - you decide; steel drums before you die; Public Enemy and Whitney's bangers; The Hellcats but make it rodeo; Jeff's personal Rubicon.

The creature is revenging. What shall we do?

Host segments: Biblically accurate grad school stuff; are the ugly girls worth searching for?; so many introductions in this episode!; looks relaxing to be a gill man at first; the legacy of the Creature from the Black Lagoon; in the not-too-distang geological future; apologies to Elisabeth Moss; the revenge of the Helen.

We've finally hit all these darn Hercules films! News flash - they are all the same.

Host segments: The Honey-Dos of Hercules; Herc is kind of a wrecking ball; always hoping for snu-snu; when is it safe to admit the Golden Fleece is actually at home?; "imma" vs. "sammich"; Jeff tells us all about Hercules; no one wants to work with Rob Tapert; the real reason we haven't had a Gilgamesh movie; the Wheel of Pleasures is missing; the male gaze vs. the female gaze.

Welcome to the audio from our 250-episode LIVE STREAM (streamed for patrons on Patreon!)

We're discussing how to best use our awesome power for good.

Host segments: MiMi and Jeff are puppets; the problem with Malta; a disappointing re-watch; Joe Don Baker's Dozen; JDB - your personal slasher; burning people in effigy; innovative fight strategies; casual Friday hell; Tarzan stays a good soundtrack.

Note: We recorded this episode just a few days before the passing of Sam Neill, so that's why it's not mentioned. The SoL-Mates curse strikes in the worst possible way!

Special thanks to Dr. Andrew Owen for his interpretation of the Jurassic Park theme on bagpipes.

Host segments: no synopsis needed; Crichton on page and screen; boiling roadkill was the final straw; we talk a lot about Dennis Nedry; the Jaws-ification of the raptor attack; the sad truth about Jack Horner; the eternal gift that is Weird Al Yankovic; BOY OR GIRL?

What do you do when your boss is an absolute insect? We watch The Wasp Woman to find out.

Host segments: Devori has her priorities straight this week; we once again talk about how Joe ate that (almost) deadly burrito; it's hard to be the boss (wasp); what about Operation Paper Clip?; add the stinger, blow some minds; like an English student padding out a paper; every movie should end with a gauzy nightgown fight; we're still talking about the bedside baby oil.

We're closing out Kai-June with Yongary! And a ROBUST exploration of mid-century Korea. Apologies.

Host segments: The Timothee Paradox; these are the Garys I know, I know; how do you rate a winsome child?; top-notch Yongary research; no butthole = bad design; the danger of yon Gary; penultimate episode-itis; Lynchifying a kaiju.

Join us as Jeff accuses a small child of being a dummy.

Host segments: Do Jeffs dream of Britt Ekland?; Mimi has doubts; big trucks are the kaijus of the road; we subscribe to the Maltin agenda; two thumbs down; the wheel adds more pleasures; not enough punishing Jerry Lee Lewis, England, Phil is a sleep paralysis demon.

Episode 245 - in which we find we do not care for the film Jungle Goddess.

Note - we had some sound issues on one end this time, but those should be addressed in the next episode! Thanks for your understanding.

CW: disability slur

Host segments: stock footage hallucinations; when you're deciding which thing you hate less, Jungle Goddess or "The Phantom Creeps," you're in bad shape; Dracula's wife; Pickleback; Joe has a finger on the pulse of the line of succession.
