Selection: Consensus - us, MST3K live feed
My father-in-law had some outpatient surgery and, thus, Dug, my brother-in-law, was here for a couple of weeks. He capped off his visit with a stay with us. Dug is the foremost MST3K/ Rifftrax fan in my life - and while I've been a fan since I was 14, he's the guy who remembers stuff about episodes from the show that I haven't seen since high school.
I won't be writing these movies up, but I can say I finally ticked Hillbillys in a Haunted House (1967) off my list, which had been there since discovering Joi Lansing about 20 years ago via The Adventures of Superman. But I also knew, for 20 years, this was going to be a rough ride. The movie is a weird, all-star bash, including Lon Chaney, Basil Rathbone, John Carradine and a bunch of Nashville musicians, for whom it was intended to be a showcase.

| you get two big guesses as to why Joi Lansing was included |
There's also some yellow-peril as there's a spy story going on, also a gorilla and ghosts.

| this movie has everything |
The Skydivers (1963) is a movie made by sky divers about sky divers, and it's like they knew one day MST3K would exist, and would need content.
The Pumaman (1980) is an Italian produced, British-shot movie about a superhero with alien-gifted powers of a puma. Like flying, and walking through walls. It makes no sense, and has Donald Pleasance as the villain, wearing a sort of leatherette jumpsuit. Cannot recommend enough.
Anyway, a good time was had by all.
