Just in time for the holidays!

What timing … just last week I posted about the 20th anniversary of “Mystery Science Theater 3000” and the (former) Best Brains’ current endeavor, “Cinematic Titanic.”

What should I find in my inbox this morning? An e-mail from CT announcing the release of “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians,” a true holiday classic that includes a young Pia Zadora. Fellow MSTies will recall that the gang already riffed this particular “film” (if it deserves to be called that) back in 1991 (season 3, episode 21), the episode that gave us “A Patrick Swayze Christmas,” Tom Servo’s snow globe head, and introduced us to Dropo (“Oh, Dropo!”).

I can’t wait to purchase and download this latest incarnation … I’m sure it’s going to be fantastic.

Hooray for Santy Claus! (cha cha cha)
