Yes but it has that small town feel to it.

No way. Mikey chews up both Tommy and Eddie and spits them out. 
His greasy, messy hair, his massive Buddy Holly glasses, the thick lips, the constant look of constipation, the bawling obsequiousness, the uncomfortable physical tics and fidgets ā¦ Mikey takes the nerdy prize by a country mile IMO.

Hey, itās my one lasting contribution to MST3K culture! I uploaded this so long ago that there was still a ten minute limit on videos, so I had to trim some fat on my 12 minute draft to make it fit. Donāt worry, youāre not missing much from the directorās cut. (Though I have wondered if I should put those pieces in a second tiny video called āThe Rest Of Mikey.ā)
Itās one of my favorite episodes ever, maybe top ten. Any episode that references the Higgins Boys & Gruber is a winner in my eyes.

I watched this one yesterday and I have no memory of having seen it before. I did do a āwatch every episodeā thing about 15 years ago, so it at least played. Maybe I fell asleep and didnāt realize (sometimes Iād doze off in the last few minutes then wake up while the credits rolled; maybe a time or two I didnāt sleep for a few minutes, but through an entire other episode).
Anyway thatās a long preamble to get me to saying āoh wow I think this episode is great!ā Itās not just because itās ānewā to me; I do find it to be particularly strong.
I suppose now would be a good time for me to review the entire series, but instead of trying to watch them all and potentially falling into the same trap, Iāll just select the ones where I canāt picture the main characters or remember a riff. (Except the Coleman Francis ones; I know Iāve seen those because Iām dead inside.) Just think of how many more ānewā episodes Iāll be able to find!

It was not uncommon for me to fall asleep to an episode while the show was running on cable. They played it enough on Comedy Central, that it was usually on late at night, and it was my go to show as it became time for go to bed.

I used to do it every night back in the VCR days. I had a bunch of episodes I taped off of Comedy Central (and later Sci-Fi) and we would put one on and go to sleep.
These days, itās nature documentaries on YouTube with an adblocker.

Iāve fallen asleep in some of them sometimes, but generally I donāt have an issue staying awake in an MST ep.
Now put on an episode of Bob Ross and Iām out in 30 seconds.

Since I just posted about Blood Beast in the other thread, Iāll say that I can tolerate this movie better than that one. Almost every actor is giving it their all, even if none of them are much good. Iād rather deal with that than the soporific, paint-by-numbers performances brought to us by the Beasties.

IMDb tells us:
John Humphries had never acted before doing this film. He has since said that he took his acting cues from Jo Canterbury who he knew had some acting experience Off-Broadway. So as her performance became more teary and shrill, so did his.

Well, the Tube-A-Thon chat has revealed both good news and bad news:
Good News: Joel & Mike will finally riff a movie together.
Bad News: they have to cosplay as Arch Hall, Jr. and Teenage Mikey through the whole thing. Or lose their grant. [sad trombone]
