    What I love most about Mark's sketches are 1) You never know when he'll drop them. They could show up early on in the video, or towards the end, so you're always caught off guard, and 2) He always comes in with his own random agendas that completely mess with the original scenes. Never stop doing them, Mark.

    I discovered this channel right before my daughter was born, and the first video I watched was a Neil Breen movie. The movie started out with two kids, and one part he was talking about was the camera man laughing. I lost my shit and laughed so hard I got high-pitched. So, a few days later, she was born, and I was living off buffalo chicken tenders, monster energy drinks, and fanboyflicks. I was off from work for two weeks on paternity leave, and i binge watched every episode. I'd say that was probably a time frame where I wish I could go back and do it all over again. So now I go a few months of not watching, and then I'll binge watch every episode I missed.

    This one hits weirdly close to home for me. I watch the MST3k It Conquered the World pretty often. There is so much overlap between the two. It honestly benefits from a touch up, I am pretty forgiving but the alien would have been bad for a theater performance much less a film. A lot of the scenes are pretty much the same between the two films otherwise.

    He learned almost too late that man is a feeling creature- and because of it, the greatest in the universe. He learned too late for himself that men have to find their own way, to make their own mistakes. There can't be any gift of perfection from outside ourselves. And when men seek such perfection, they find only death... fire... loss... disillusionment... the end of everything that's gone forward. Men have always sought an end to the toil and misery, but it can't be given, it has to be achieved. There is hope, but it has to come from inside, from Man himself.

    "Zontar, the Thing from Venus" was part of a collection of films made by Larry Buchanan from 1967-69 for American International Pictures, who sold them to TV stations. None of them were meant for theatrical showings, which is why they are so chintzy (the model of the satellite in "Zontar" was also the alien ship in "The Eye Creatures".)
    From Wikipedia:
    "The Eye Creatures" (1967) - remake of "Invasion of the Saucer Men" (1957)
    "Zontar, the Thing from Venus" (1967) - remake of "It Conquered the World" (1956)
    "Creature of Destruction" (1967) - remake of "The She-Creature" (1956)
    "Mars Needs Women" (1968) - an original script by Buchanan
    "Curse of the Swamp Creature" (1968) - loose remake of "Voodoo Woman" (1957)
    "In the Year 2889" (1969) - remake of "Day the World Ended" (1955)
    "Hell Raiders" (1969) - remake of "Suicide Battalion" (1958)
    "It's Alive!" (1969) - adapted from the Richard Matheson story "Being"

    What's strange is that the sole purpose of the remake was the original comical monster, but the "better" one is onscreen for about 3 seconds.

    So you just put your radio equipment you talk with space aliens in a closet and cover it with a curtain so no one knows what you are up to and thus won't keep calling you crazy. It's brilliant!
