that Mike Nelson espouses some rather RW ideals:

During a 2004 interview with the fanatic site MST3K Review, Nelson described himself as Protestant and conservative: "I read the National Review cover to cover. Check in at Townhall.com every day. Check the Washington Times daily. Listen to Dennis Prager and Michael Medved on a regular basis. Read Mark Steyn with regularity. Read the Weekly Standard. So, yes, I do vote Republican." He later called Minneapolis Star Tribune as "the Star and Sickle, or the Red Star Tribune"

He seems too good-natured to be like that.

Ah, well... I got all of the MST3k files on my computer via alternate means.

The man who single-handedly destroyed Broadway. Honored for eternity by MST3K.

It's a roast, so to speak.

Now I have to name my next kid "Torgo".


There were 3 shorts with "Manos", too. I won't spoil the surprise.

...it's nation-wide.

In fact, you can advertise the theaters in your own state.
