Today's bonus episode reconsiders the icon who appeared in more MST3K episodes (official and unofficial) than any other: Gamera, Guardian of the Universe. In celebration of Arrow Video's recent massive Blu-ray box-set, we're analyzing the giant turtle's strange origins, movies that didn't make it to the Mystery Science Theater*, and his adorably goofy rebirth.

There are "Goodfellas" references, odd occurrences in the inaugural year of MTV, and above all, butt rockets. Join your wonky yet affable host for all the adorable madness you could possibly ask for.**

*Until recently.
**Or not, it depends what kind of crazy things you ask for.
