43… Never bothered to take a list that long… I just don’t know…
Excuse me, while I go have an existential crisis…
Pod People would likely be close to that number thou…

43 is an important spot. We’re out of the area that’s affected by mood. Of course it’s a primary number spot, so by the standard rules it has to be a Frank episode - but it’s also a centered heptagonal number so we have to go with Mike era. That limits our choices.
Based on that and it’s relative position in the top 25% of favorites, I have to give it to Colossus and the Headhunters. The episode that gave us Nummy Muffin Coocol Butter.

Agreed, season 8 is probably my favorite season ( and it was when I discovered Mst3k). No. 43 wouldn’t be my favorite episode but one that I like. Hence, 43 is Terror from the Year 5000.

Really fun episode, that. It has that perfect aura of 50s sci-fi hokum.
It’s gotta be a really good alternate universe where Shout Factory has the rights to stream Terror from the Year 5000. Such a comfort food pick for being exuberantly silly…

I have a Pavlovian response to seeing that title - I hear the Terror screeching. It’s not a bad thing, but it’s a thing.

I’ve worn out my Cheesyflix copy of Terror of the Year 5000, but I’m not getting my hopes up for a Shout! copy.

Shame, really.
I love that we can circulate the YouTube links, but it’s too bad that Terror from the Year 5000 can’t be more of a fan favorite by way of getting more exposure via official DVD/streaming releases.

Maybe if we start a chant, they’ll hear us.
Terror! Terror! Terror!

Pod People.
I’m kidding! I’m not nearly brave enough to say that and mean it.
It’s Cave Dwellers.

I currently have The Magic Sword as my 43th best over, above Jack Frost but below Godzilla vs Megalon. The film is a great standard young noble hero vs. evil wizard to save the princess story. Riffing is good. I have a fun time watching it.
