At tonight, we went off on a tangent about Erasure and ABBA. I realized:
* I've never comprehensively dived into ABBA's discography
* I've never watched concert footage of either band
* The Erasure song from Robot Unicorn Attack - "Always" - is still a banger, with a fun video - youtube.com/watch?v=lWqJTKdzna

It's almost time for , tonight's episode is 1306 DEMON SQUAD. It's the most recent movie the show's done to date, released in 2019. Think of it as like very low budget Constantine set in Mobile, Alabama's vibrant demon community. At cytu.be/r/Metafilter_MST3KClub

is getting started, tonight's episode is 1305 DOCTOR MORDRID. It was written as a Doctor Strange movie, but the license fell through, so they filed off the character names and made it about some OC occult guy. Not a hugely _bad_ film, but there's definitely some fun to be had watching it. At cytu.be/r/Metafilter_MST3KClub at 9 PM US Eastern (in about two hours), although we have early stuff too.

Thinking about what form will take after we finish Season 13. I don't think we're up for another loop of the entire series, and definitely I'm unsure about posting another complete loop to Fanfare _again_. But when Season 14 happens we can do it, and in the meantime I might pick out personal favorite episodes to do. We kind of rushed through the original Joel era this time when we were doing episodes two a week during lockdown.

is about to begin for the evening, with the episode beginning in about 2 1/2 hours (at 9 PM US Eastern). Tonight's episode is -- uh-oh -- 1304 MUNCHIE, starring Dom DeLuise as the voice of a magic wish-granting imp with a disturbing plastic face. For fun! At cytu.be/r/Metafilter_MST3KClub

We're watching an episode of The Man From UNCLE at , it's "The Bat Cave Affair," where Martin Landau plays a villain who like cosplays as Dracula, and I just realized this is prefiguring his role in Ed Wood. cytu.be/r/Metafilter_MST3KClub

Tonight's episode is 1302 ROBOT WARS, another from the Gizmoplex age, so one you're likely not to have seen yet. That begins in about two hours.

Sundays we show various British and other things, and also the ridiculous 60s spy show The Man From UNCLE. If that sounds entertaining, it's about to start, at cytu.be/r/Metafilter_MST3KClub. (Please feel free to mute the hashtag if you don't care.)

On Sunday nights, MST Club shows miscellaneous British and "spy-fi" television. It's pretty low key; the show kicks off with Man From U.N.C.L.E. episodes, and continues into modern Who and other programs. Anyone's welcome to join us at cytu.be/r/Metafilter_MST3KClub

I'm sorry if the occasional MST Club notices are annoying. Can you mute by hashtag on Mastodon? If so I could use a common hashtag for them to make them easier to ignore. Maybe
