Poll #55 deserves some great options... especially after I just got done watching the worst (Japanese) movie since Gunhed. :? I seriously don't remember it being THAT bad the first time I saw a fansub of it. ANYWAY... will post a small bit about that in the last poll thread.

Time to bring out some of the best of the best in the genre (imho). Let's watch an awesome movie this week. :D

I love the running commentary during the final fight, here. You know, where they stop pretty much all other jokes and concentrate entirely on providing a 'blow-for-blow' color commentary as one would for an actual wrestling match.

I feel Godzilla vs. Megalon is an important episode, not just because it's a famous B-Movie and MST3K is what it is, but because it really feels like the moment where Mystery Science Theater 3000 hits its groove and all the kinks have been hammered out. There had been good episodes before, but this is the first great episode.

Henry88, I'm passing the poll to you if you'd like. 8-)


I'm with lhb412 when it comes to this episode. I got into the show before this one aired and really was excited to see them do the movie, obviously. When it came together so perfectly it really was instant nostalgia. So happy it won this poll, because I could really watch this episode once a month or so and never get tired of it. :lol:

It helps that GvsMegalon itself is a really nostalgic movie for me. It was one of the earliest ones I got a chance to watch and I watched it very often. Other than Sea Monster, GvsMechaG, and Gigan, I'd say this one is one of my most nostalgic G movies (the Sea Monster episode of MST3K is another great one!!!). I'm willing to forgive it a lot, despite how bad it really is at times. MST3K just completes it.

Great episode, this one. Megalon doesn't hold as much significance for me as it does for some of you - I only somewhat enjoy it, but the riffing brings it to a whole new level. The SOL crew's skits are funny, too. I've found those to be of wildly varying quality throughout the show, but with Megalon they really delivered the goods on all fronts.

"Come here, you'll be my date!"
