THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION - PRESENTED BY MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000




I like MST3K. A lot. But you know the story that sometimes they are pretty boring. Anyway, I meant to come home and do laundry and maybe warsh some dish or two but I found another Netflix guy cold marinating in my mailbox and decided that it would be better to watch it first to kind of "lay low on the gunny-tide" for a bit.
The movie was some b-thang from '75 and yes, it sucked. There were some good things about the drolling commentary that I thought were particularly funny but it was not one the greater MST3K episodes. I'm still waiting for the "golden moment" when they really kick thru. Getting on with it, this is one from when Mike Nelson took the show over and while he is not as funny as Joel Hodgson, it still was pretty ok. For the most part, my heater wasn't really kicking out the goodness and I was under a blanket on the couch watching it drinking the finely brewed lager from Missouri. It didn't really help to push the comedy to it's nth. This review is lame because I didn't feel the episode.

I GIVE THIS EPISODE OF MST3K : THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION A RATING OF 2 NETFLIX STARS

Next in my queue is Star Trek : The Original Series Vol. 4
