I thought that was Ortega?

Mike was so disgusted with Ortega's smell and dropping ashes into the dishes, he basically chased him off with ridicule. Crow got pissed and Tom started crying.

Slightly off, Crow got pissed and ran off crying. Tom was still dithering over which of Ortega's dishes he wanted to try. :v:

Huh. Sure sounded like Tom doing the crying. Also, on re-watch it looks like Ortega pours poison/acid in his eyes instead of running off.

I don't remember if I've ever actually seen the Sampo/Day The Earth Froze episode, but from a :finland: perspective it's always fun to see people try to make sense of the crazy bullshit that is our national epic. Ask me about the Sampo (and don't expect any decent answers, because I haven't read Kalevala since high school).

What the gently caress even is a Sampo in the first place? Best I can tell is it's some sort of magical snack machine/horn of plenty that only this one bearded guy can build and he can only build it once.

If you know what a Sampo is, write it down on a piece of paper and throw it away. You'll be glad you did.

Elias Lönnrot, the guy who compiled Kalevala, interpreted it as a magical mill that can create flour, salt, and gold coins out of nothing.

That's definitely what I think of when someone mentions the Sampo and it is often depicted that way in art, but like its Wikipedia article mentions, some folks interpret it as a world pillar or world tree or something based on various historical relics found in the area, such as a Byzantine coin die.

Also, Don Sullivan of The Giant Gila Monster and The Rebel Set has died. Put your leg up on something in memory.

Can I just say that I am in love with the Comet TV network. Not only are they airing MST3k on Sunday nights, but I have also seen a bunch of unriffed versions of movies that have been featured not only on MST3k but also Rifftrax and Cinematic Titanic. Eegah is on right now where I am.

It's a fuckin' amazing network, I guess is what I'm saying.

Were all of these single-disc Rhino releases? I know Santa v Martians was on that old Essentials disc with Manos, but I could have sworn Eegah was on a real set at some point.

In other news, I’m only missing 7 sets now (not counting the insanely expensive original release of Volume 10). :shepspends:

Eegah has only been a single release.

I’m sure you all know but the free app, Pluto TV has a dedicated channel for MST3K, a separate one for Rifftrax, and a Shout! Channel that will frequently play MST3K

Unlike other ‘free TV’ apps, it also plays a wide variety of episodes and not just the same few.

The THC channel on there (it's number 420 lmao XD ) also frequently shows episodes.

Just be careful of the Rifftrax channel because they also show "Rifftrax Presents" episodes and I have never seen a single funny one of those.

The Bridget Nelson and Mary Jo Pehl episodes are very funny. The rest of Rifftrax Presents is hot garbage.
