The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 12: Well-Oiled Machine.

We celebrate 52 lukewarm episodes with another heavy dose of nonsense!

Since this week's discussion is all about "Gorgo", in which a sympathetic lizard destroys a metropolitan area, we're taking a reverse Detour through the saga of a sympathetic monkey who destroys New York: "King Kong".

Because movie studios were craven capitalists even in 1933, there is a terrible sequel. And a remake in 1977. And a sequel to that remake in 1986.

But all hope is not lost. Universal Studios used these franchise building blocks to bring the world Kongfrontation. Your wonky yet affable host may cry ugly tears of mourning, so bring a tissue.
