    Fellow Unbelievers:

    Another movie with the theme of “Past-Life Regression” but used as a mass-audience party stunt and carnival grift is The She Creature. It’s surprising that Carlo Lombardi didn’t have a prequel to The John Walsh Show for the rabbit ear and Cathode Ray Tube set:

    The things you can do with a Heath Kit, like confirm that The Dead Talk Back…or at least confirm that the living can talk a big game about the dead talking back:

    I meant Carlo Lombardi would be a prequel to “Psychic” John Edward, not John Walsh. John Walsh of America’s Most Wanted would pursue a Carlo Lombardi.

    Of all the people who need to watch MST3K, it has to be Megyn Kelly, Matt Walsh, Elon Musk, and all the Woke Right who are bleeding from wherever over the Christopher Nolan vésion of The Odyssey:

    First of all, The Odyssey, however epic and fantastic, is a work of fiction. None on the characters really existed, M’Ladies. Second, in real life, Ancient Greeks interacted with Ancient Africans I.e. the Ethiopians and Homer praised the virtues of Ethiopians. Also, in Shakespeare’s time and before, there were no Female actors, only castralti males in female roles. And The Bible had a small Gay man named David who slew a giant Goliath of Gath with no protests from the Woke Right.

    Finally, as the MST3K theme says at the beginning of every episode: “It’s just a show, I should really just relax!”

    I thought Odyssey was dopearama. So much press with this movie. Weird.

    I’ll try to catch when it streams. Like most other Americans, going to a physical theater with sticky floors and paying for overpriced popcorn and yellow suntan oil topping and Junior Mints is a bit out of reach with everything else going up, another point against Woke Right ragging on the movie. They have some warped priorities in a world with as much wrong with it.

    That will teach ya not to cover your ears when the promoter sirens sing…..”Oh brother where art thou” (by the excellent Coen brothers, is the best version of the Odysseus….:-) and some great songs too…..

    Reg:

    The Woke Right Podcast-istanis were “singing into a can” whose echos never reached me until just recently on the subject of The Odyssey. I learned all the above facts on the Classic dramatic arts in the Seventh Grade and read The Odyssey in the Ninth Grade. Woke Right MAGA probably slept through all those lessons.

    And I always muffle my ears and IV on coffee when Megyn, Candice, Carrie Prejean, Erica Kirk, and Carla White sing “Go to Sleep, Little Baby…”

    Reg:

    I meant Paula White, Trump’s Tongue-Speaking Babble Whisperer, not Carla White. Whether I listen to a Carla White is based on first, her existence and second, the evidence for what she says.

    `Reg and Jake:

    It’s just so damned amazing that Woke Right types profess such concern for the decline of the West, yet know so little of Western culture and history!

    And the Woke Right types express shock, shock when people of immediate African ancestry, Lupita Nyong’o and Zendaya, embrace and participate in Western culture!

    Why, the Woke Right are not even loyal to Aristotle’s Axiom of Non-Contradiction! Let that sink in!

    The Hosts and the Bots of MST3K were never afraid to challenge legitimately terrible racist tropes in cinema. Here, they take on the title character in Jungle Goddess or what we today know as Karens on the Right and AWFLs (Affluent White Feminist Liberals) on the Left.

    Megyn Kelly would no doubt find a note of familiarity here:

    Fellow Unbelievers:

    From 7:38 to 8:41, Joel and the Bots condemn the injustice and immorality of an old racist trope of horror movies, as well as the real-life horror of “Strange Fruit”:

    Try as Crow might, he couldn’t get the others enthused about the tropes in Blaxploitation films:

    Here, technologically-imposed ethnic stereotypes were a form of torture from Lawgiver Pearl Forester on Mike and the Bots:

    Here, the ethnic hatred flaw is an internal error, what Rodgers and Hart called the “You Have to Be Carefully Taught” error in sapient beings:
