Greetings, Traxians!
Erik here with a new episode of the video series where we talk RiffTrax, it's Talkin' RiffTrax!
Mike and the guys are taking a brief break from MST3K stuff, and so they're back with a riff on this 1950s movie about a giant mutated wasp in a hell that's green. It's Monster from Green Hell! It's in black & white, though, so you'll have to use your imagination:
A monster is terrorizing Africa. It’s a pretty big continent, but that’s about as specific as you’ll get, we’re afraid. The monster is from a region known as Green Hell, but as The Guy From Harlem taught us, that’s just where it is from. He could presently be anywhere. And where he is is: Africa.
Fortunately, there are some American scientists who are uniquely qualified to handle this situation. You see, they have shot a guinea pig and some sort of crab into space. So when Africa comes calling, they pack up their high tech gear (we dunno, Crab Rockets or something) and head to the precise location of Africa to start fighting monsters.
If the thumbnail and this description didn't already sell you on Monster From Green Hell, here's five more minutes of Mike, Kevin, and Bill discussing this 1950s monster flick. Watch in the player above, or download it from the Attachments area below.
Yours in Green Heaven (the Pacific Northwest),
Erik
