How Was the Show?

Weekend Discussion Thread: Your Holed-Up Playlist

Back when a couple of hurricanes headed up the east coast, alert regular Joesph suggested:

I’ve got four of the five MST3K Versus Gamera movies not yet watched, so am in good shape for stuff to watch during the hurricane, if the power holds up. What MST3K movies are the ones to watch while waiting out a major weather event like a hurricane, blizzard, or anything else that just keeps you locked up at home for a couple days?

Okay, let’s assume you power isn’t an issue (say you have a really good generator). What’s the playlist? It can be whatever number of eps you want.

For me, I’m going to pick one ep from each season I always enjoy:

108- THE SLIME PEOPLE
208- LOST CONTINENT
307- DADDY-O
404- TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE
505- MAGIC VOYAGE OF SINBAD
610- THE VIOLENT YEARS with short: YOUNG MAN’S FANCY
703- DEATHSTALKER AND THE WARRIORS FROM HELL
810- THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION
904- WEREWOLF
1001- SOULTAKER

What’s your pick?
