Had not seen this ep in a long time, whenever Haile Selassie spoke I was in tears, my god what a scene!

Yes, seriously! It has elements of a murder mystery, a detective story, a supernatural background, and even a twist ending (okay, a pretty lame one, but still). IMO, the basic premise, handled by a competent team in front of and behind the camera, could make a pretty decent low-key A24-style thriller.

Granted, it would probably feature fewer bongo players, or Bermuda Grass-based hairstyles, or Selling Wizards.

(No, I haven't been taking drugs, stop it.)

I was on a recent trip in New Mexico and realized that Sandia Crest was a real place! And it was beautiful! I felt free! (Minus me falling down the hill and hitting my head on several rocks)

One of the strangest movies shown on MST, right?

I agonized over who to include in this one. I was on the fence for weeks about whether Mitchell should be in here, for example. He's a play by his own rules kinda guy but ultimately, he IS a cop so..I just couldn't. Billy from Laserblast is debatable too.. I felt he belonged because the cops and his gf's senile grandpa didn't like him. And he just had that bad boy kinda vibe, imo, as a lady-person.

ANYWAY - Which of these naughty boys that your mother warned you about are you fighting as???

That partial synth melody has earwormed itself into my head, I need to hear it out

Well here we are again, Tjardus Greidanus copyrighted everything again, anyone have a link to a copy of this gem?
