I remember this show)) I liked it greatly as a kid. It's a pity our modern media lack such good products as the Mystery Science Theater) It was both teaching and amazing because of it's unusual character)

These men are truly legendary. I was not able to have the foresight to watch them as dedicated in their hayday as I would today, but all of their movies are present on Youtube. I suggest Hobgoblins for those who just want the soundbyte version of their hilarity.

I'm dieing. Legendary men.
