Track of the Moon Beast pelted Chris and Charlotte with lunar meteorites, and now every night they chat about The Bat-man, the Joker, the ghostwriter, the egotist, and the art of motorcycle maintenance.
We're celebrating spooky season with an MST3K favorite, Track of the Moon Beast! Spoiler alert: none of these Johnny Longbows stop talking.Host segments: no trick-or-treaters blues; strange STI prevention; pranking logic; Doctor Devori and the Case of the Missing Joe; Jeff beefs with movie smokers; a very special case of air rage; Komodo red herrings; #exothermproblems.
Featuring “Crypto Critics' Corner” hosts Bennett Tomlin and Cas Piancey, and former Terraform Labs employee Hyungsuk Kang.The past year saw the collapse of a huge variety of frauds, scams, and deeply flawed projects in crypto.

We also meet a special guest – a former employee of one of the most notorious projects to blow up in 2022, who left early because of the bad behavior he saw from the inside.

This week we delve into the underlying mechanisms of terraUSD and how they incentivized experienced investors to drive the stablecoin into a death spiral."Crypto Crooks" is sponsored by Chainalysis.Do Kwon wasn't creating a new grift. His coin was history, repeated. Financial experts foretold the failure of Do Kwon's empire from the beginning – because they'd seen it all happen before, at the Bank of England no less. In our deep dive into terraUSD, we examine how the death spiral that ate the stablecoin alive was knit into the very fabric of the project. It was no accident, fluke or unexpected occurrence: It was inevitable.

We also look at the more complicated role of financial professionals in propping up Do Kwon's empire, many of whom got out of the racket millions of dollars richer than when they'd gone in.

This week, we dig into the rise of Do Kwon, the enormous appeal of his almost magical algorithmic stablecoin – and the far less charmed reality underlying his machinations from the very start."Crypto Crooks" is sponsored by Chainalysis.Do Kwon said he could print money out of thin air. Who could resist a sell like that? Welcome back to “Crypto Crooks.” This season, over the course of four episodes plus a bonus fifth on recent developments, we tackle Do Kwon and his so-called algorithmic stablecoin. We're starting with the seductive appeal of the concept. Everyone, from crypto's bigwig financiers to hundreds of thousands of retail depositors, was buying into the dream. But the fatal flaws of this collective fantasy were evident from the very start. It was only a matter of time before the death spiral began.

With director Brad Elmore.
The team descend into the Moon Beast temple in the Nameless City in search of restoring the Devereuxs but can their minds deal with the appalling misery within?

I welcome you to a most wonderful audio stew. What is it made of? Microphones, chicken, enthusiasm, corn, perspective, chili, love, green peppers... it's an old recipe.The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 13: Sunset on the Satellite.This week, we tackle "Track of the Moon Beast", which involves the beloved Johnny Longbone, lizard-exploding meteors, and that band that plays "California Lady".This movie also leads us to the saga of its unjustly forgotten writer, Bill Finger, the rightful creator of everything you like about Batman.But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom! We also have the story of Tom Laughlin, writer/director of "Billy Jack", the franchise that redefined the way this country watches movies, even though "Jaws" gets all the credit. His story is.... also sad.But there are jokes and hapkido, a wonderful combination.

Paul, the dubiously employed dirt digger, gets a case of moon brain causing him to become a "were-gorn" and eventually goes to critical mass all while his new girlfriend keeps him away from doctors and his buddy just wants him dead because its dinner-time. Track of the Moon Beast is iconic drive-in/MST3K type material. You're sadly not going to find any surprises here. Just imagine Joel, Crow and Tom sitting down and whatever you can imagine to happen on screen will likely happen. There's just nothing new here for anybody. It falls into the same vein and suffering that Ssssssss does (and sadly last weeks Girl in Gold Boots). There's a smattering of good here but for the most part its 90 minutes of milk-toast. While the makeup and costumes might be some of the worst, what this film does "well" for bad-movie fans is the absolutely terrible script. Its lunacy. Its nonsensical. But again, it's draggy and too few and far between to get to the good stuff. Sadly, there just isn't much to say here but avoid this without MST3K.
We've got even more 70's horror in store with this lizardman sci-fi creature feature! A meteorite turns a man into a murderous monster, and only the wisdom of Navajo legends hold the key to stopping him. Join Tom and Ryan as they talk about important relevant topics like the effects of the moon, euthanasia, and of course, Batman. So turn down that old 45 of California Lady, and turn up our review of Track of the Moon Beast!

This week the guys are watching MST3K's Track of the Moon Beast. It stars no one and features nothing. I hope you gag on it. They also talk about things. Using verbs and nouns. Pronouns. Adjectives. Prepositions. Other grammatical tools. Next week the guys are watching Colossus and the Headhunters and you can too right here.
