Hey, when I write reviews I toss in suggested riffs of my own. I have no problem with others following in MST3K's footsteps. Back at the Gateway 2000 convention, there was an MST-inspired group that riffed on the Colin Baker "Doctor Who" ep "The Twin Dilemma" and did a good job.
I'll keep this group in mind. Thanks for the heads-up.
