       If you have to say “No homo” then you’re being a homo.

    This movie was titled “The Blood Waters of Dr. Z.” On MST3K….weird.

       Oh noes, he’s too mainstream now! Just look at those other people that guy’s interviewed.
      Well, at least he’s humble.

  • guest

    This seems similar to The Blood Waters of Doctor Z, a movie MST3K covered, strangely similar.

  • Ttcleveland

    Love it!

  • Landporpus

    Mike in Shorts! Good God!

    • Bring_me_tp

       must be my birthday

  • Guest

    I was hoping rich plinkett would die so mike could steal his identity and become the star wars plinkett. ;.;

    • Mcfly

       You’re asking for continuity with something that doesn’t require it.

      • Guest

        Plus they were shown to coexist in the Indiana Jones trailer.

        • Guest

          That was a dream sequence, not canon.

  • Earthbound_X

    Wow, the picture and sound quality of the film here is much higher then the MST3K The Blood Waters of Dr. Z version of the film they did.

  • Jawsphobia

    Where is that set?  Is it in your garage?  

    What if they do a prequel to Zaat and it is brilliant?

  • Mr. Baux

    Review Godmonster of Indian Flats. It’s even weirder in my opinion.

  • JCDenton

    Good thing I had to stay up all night to study Calculus, now I can watch these frauds!

  • PromiserOfDeath

    It seems like in every Episode of Half in the Bag yalls Living Room gets Cluttered even worse then the Last!

  • Mechagodzilla

    You guys have to see Death Curse of Tartu and Sting of Death, both produced by the Miami-based Thunderbird International.  Your brain will make your face make faces without you noticing.

    Also, like Warf, the reason for Plinkett being there is getting less and less important.

  • AnonyMoose

    What’s that music that’s played during the “Zaat Tripping” Montage that you also use in many other productions?

  • Clarias Batrachus

  • I heart pizza rolls

    Was that the Kurlin Nescar I heard at10:25? Holy shit whats that doing there?

    • Guest

      Damn, beat me to it.

      Gotta swear I’ve heard that sound effect in at least 20 different places by now.

      • Guest

         It’s their Wilhelm Scream

        • Sd

          No, it’s a free clip which has been used for decades now. It was used in Diablo II and a lot of other video games as well.

      • Guest

        Any idea where to get that sound effect?

  • http://www.facebook.com/cdavidbonner Chris Bonner

    Hahaha nice inclusion of the “idol toss” sound clip from Star Trek: Generations! You are a sly one, Stoklasa!

  • AnonymousGuest

    Thank you, I was really needing half in the bag right now.

  • http://www.facebook.com/crazyhead Gary Lee Cecil III

    I think this was my favorite intro. And Mike’s hair looks so cute like that.

  • Bring_me_Tp

    I thought you said you weren’t hungry?
    -OH riiight. I’m not

  • Lordsmas

    Look, I don’t know much.  But I do know this – Mike should never wear shorts.

  • Sycho_sid2001

    If you Boys are Interested this is Blood Waters of Dr. Z on MST3K and is on Netflix on demand right now

    • Chnuklove123

      Yes I found this fourteen years ago thanks to Mike and the Bots, Poopie.

    • No

       That’s the first thing I thought when I watched this.  It looks like Zaat! is the unedited version of Blood Waters of Dr. Z

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1109271106 Lee R Mullen

      This is one of the best MST3k’s IMHO.  I loves it, and highly recommend everyone to check it out.

  • Ashhaas

    Worst movie I’ve ever seen: High Crusades.  It’s the movie Roland Emmerich produced immediately before Independence Day….check it out.

  • Dmo1986

    This is when this show is at it’s best. When you guys are reviewing terrible C-movies. And the worse you treat plinkett’s apartment the better.

    Gee these guys really like their beer. <:D

  • Gloomu Uptu

    Did you add the “Kurlan Naiskos breaking” stock sound at 10:24 or was it originally in the movie?

    • Derek_Sye

      I was thinking the exact same thing.

    HALF IN THE BAG: put the lotion in the basket!

  • http://twitter.com/Jesseraygarza Jesse Garza

    So many awesome things in this review. Way to go on making it! …Quick question: Its no big deal or anything… But why was my ip address I banned from the forums? Did a bunch of females get together and complain about my views and opinions on that touchy subject that shall not be named? Because I deleted all of those posts and replaced them with chickens… :/

    Like I said, it doesn’t matter to me, I was kind of stuck on the board anyway, so now I have a shit load of free time on my hands. I will always love RLM despite my ban from the forums. I talked about something I shouldn’t have talked about and all of the females got pissed off about it i guess. Which is fine. I respect there anger and getting me banned. I am not a female, so I dont know what the hell I am talking about, I just threw my opinion out there and now that I might of got banned for it, I have learned my lesson, and will keep my opinions on THAT touchy subject to myself. I never want to talk about or hear any one else talk about THAT subject ever again. People from the forums no what touchy female subject I am talking about. The forums I am no longer apart of. :(  

    LoL, but its cool. It was fun while it lasted and I accept my ban with pride and dignity. I understand you guys did what you thought best and I understand. -The Orgasmic Fire…

    …NOTE: this is the last time I mention I am or was the orgasmic fire. Oh and its ok if you delete this post. Just so long as Mike or Jay see it and know that I am cool with getting banned over that stupid females only topic I shouldn’t of been in. Were cool, your cool, you guys are awesome and I am completely ok about it. Cant stress that fact enough. Peace, and I cant wait for your next video!

    • Strelnikov

       No, they banned you for emoticon use.

  • adw

    I would love to see a “behind the scenes” of this particular review. Just an uneditet shot of one of the cameras. Nice job, as always.

  • me

    Great Episode, thx guys!

  • oscillator

    With every new episode, I just love Half in the Bag more and more and more. You guys are awesome:)

  • MolokoLynx

    Mike and Jay, you should really check out a VHS movie from 1984 called Black Devil Doll From Hell. 

    • Weetsy

      Black Devil Doll may be the most sublime piece of cinema I have ever seen in my life.

  • Kyle

    I saw this on MST3K!

    • Sd

      So did Mike and Jay…

  • Guest

    I wish you guys would devote more energy to speaking out against the total dogshit movies we see in the theaters today. That is your special purpose. Reviewing Xaat is like beating up a retard.

    • Strelnikov

       But this review proves that the grade-Z movies of 40 years ago are on the same level as the shit blockbusters of today….it’s evidence of film devolution.

      Jerry Casale and the Mothersbaugh brothers would be so proud.

      • Guest

        I totally disagree, Zaat was made by incompetent yokels for fifteen dollars, I’m talking about movies made by supposed professionals who have the full weight of the Hollywood machine behind them.

        • Strelnikov

          Did you watch the review? The people who made this piece of shit made industrial films before trying to make a real movie. It may not have been a good film, but “incompetent yokels” make movies like “Manos: The Hands of Fate” or “The Crawling Terror” or “Curse of the Cannibal Confederates.”

          My point was that “Zaat” has a story that could easily be made into one of these very pretty, but very dumb, horror movies they’ve been cranking out the last ten years.

  • http://www.facebook.com/ryan.heeley Ryan Heeley

    I completely cracked up at 19:56, Zaat just nonchalantly sauntering up to the door in a film where he’s meant to be a terribly menacing creature, brilliant.

  • Guest

    It’s feels like forever since I watched you guys.

  • http://twitter.com/Jesseraygarza Jesse Garza

    I loved seeing Mike in the Plinkett jacket… It suits him well, and when the camera focused in on just his arm grabbing the cheese burger it brought back so many awesome memories of the Plinkett reviews! Cant wait to see the full length movie guys(or the next review, where is it already?)! Mike should play as the real life Mr. Plinkett in the full length movie, if you ever make one, which you should!!

  • guest

    this intro is the BeST YET! love it. the smoking, the completely abused room, a cheeseburger in the DVD case and Mike coughing out a piece of Burger is all great. nice comedic timing. please keep on escalating. 

  • Fido_Montoya

    As others have mentioned, this was featured in an episode of MST3K. if you’re looking for it, the version they ridiculed was called ‘The Blood Waters of Dr Z’.

  • sigaba

    I don’t see why you guys feel the need to always sweeten the sound effects of the clips.  We get it, you’re in love with Sound Ideas 6032, track 77, index 4 “Clay Pot: Break”

    Also, “The Patriot” was a ‘scope 2.35 show, you don’t matte anamorphic prints.  I dunno what you saw at the top of the frame.

    • http://twitter.com/SuperSunshine21 ダニ　ダール

       It’s to piss off people like you

    • Guest

      Here’s a craaaazy theory for you: maybe they just think it’s funny.

      • sigaba

        I’m just surprised they used it after Plinkett specifically pointed it out when they overused it (very same ceramic break, mind you) in “Generations”.  He’s gonna lock them up in his basement if he ever turns up alive.

        • Guest

           I think their comedy is a little over your head.

  • Fakeemail

    If you plan on doing more long reviews, plinkett or otherwise, this downtime for films, responsible for the lack of Half in the Bag episodes and this one being about an old bad movie, is the best time to work on such.

  • S

    Just want to put my vote in and say – reviewing weird old movies is great! I enjoy all the episodes but this one was my favorite!

    Your reviewing license is revoked.  Talking about this movie and not mentioning MST3K is an epic fail.

    • Craigscout86

       I did find this puzzling.

    • Guest

      “The movie was also featured on an episode of Mystery Science Theater.”

      Yeah, that would have made the conversation so much more riveting!

    • http://www.facebook.com/richie.cahill Richie Cahill

      fuck off.

    • TremblingEagle

      yeah, I was wondering…what are the chances of two movies being this bizarre? Interesting to know the back-story on how it came to be made tho.

  • bb-15

    This was the first Half in the Bag where the movie being reviewed was so bad that I gave up after about half way. And I’m a fan of several bad films.

    BB ;-)

  • Kie4avp

    Maybe the funniest episode so far!

  • http://blogofthenorthstar.com/ Milo (blogofthenorthstar.com)

    I for one don’t give a solitary shit about whether or not MST3K covered this movie. Thanks for not mentioning it, I’m tired of “nerd institutions” in general dominating any online discussions of a thing.

    • redletterjay

      Yes, this.

    • Topdek

      I disagree. Zaat is an obscure B movie (compared to, like, Plan 9 from Outer Space) and the fact that it was riffed on an internationally famous TV show over a decade ago should have been mentioned, if the HttB crew were aware of it.

      It doesn’t diminish the hilarity of this HttB episode and I learned a lot more about Zaat through this episode. However, one observation on the MST3K episode might have been useful here, about the Zaat costume: “His head is paper-mache over a gas mask”

      • http://www.facebook.com/Dark.Reaper.and.Galactimus.Zero Marvin Choi

        nobody loves you

    • Guest

      “mom! dad! i love you both. please dont make me choose!” naw i love mst3k, but why should HITB have to mention it,

    • http://twitter.com/guch20 guch20

      Fuck you. It’s not a matter of something dominating a discussion. It’s about giving a wink and nod to those who came before you. It’s a general sign of respect, and the Red Letter folks seem to have very little for anyone…which helps explain their minuscule audience.

  • Granreycero

    Is Mr.Plinkett going to review anything soon?

    • Dumbass

      No

  • Dicecapade

    Zaat looks like Bloodwaters of Doctor Z to me but I could be wrong.

    • Choraldo

       Is it the same movie or a different movie with the same plot?

    • Dylan

      It’s the same movie, Zaat is the “true” title of sorts.

  • TranceRufus

    The montage of Zaat tripping on shit had me in tears.

  • The Guest

    awesome. The review was good but that final shot of you guys barricading the door, was hilarious. i dont usually like slap stick style comedy but this was so well done. id like to see you guys make an entire movie,

    Also AVENGERS review plox k tnx

    It is my contention that Greedo’s basis in fact comes from the second monster that emerges from this old lady’s giner in Haxan: Witchcraft through the Ages, at 0:18:

    I kept waiting for one of you to drunkenly stumble into that pile of bottles and bleed out.

  • http://twitter.com/Dronetek Ryan

    I can’t believe you never mentioned MST3K or it’s other title, “Bloodwaters of Dr. Z”. It’s the only reason anyone even knows about the movie. 

    • Calvin J.

       I was waiting for them to mention that the entire video. And the Sarcasm Fish.

  • Steve B.

    Yeah, I don’t mind the exclusion of  any MST3k mention. I love the show, but it wouldn’t have really added anything. Also Mike & Jay  cover stuff that wasn’t even in the MST3k episode, like the “hippie scene”. 

  • Steve B.

    Also, to be honest, I don’t even think Dr. Z was one of MST3k’s better episodes. I’m not surprised someone would forget it.

    • Crowtrobot99

      I Agree. Now “Track of the Moon Beast” there’s an awesome MST3K episode. Johnny Longbow and his stew, poopie.

      • Lady Bandit

    Nerd Trivia: Actually, Greedo was an existing mask from an old Bird’s Eye peas commercial that was altered a bit for use in Star Wars.

  • Ygyfhsdyh

    This movie sucks ass……its the last time I watch anything you guys recommend!! Rubbish story….no cgi….seriously wtf dudes???!! Go review the new Avengers movie assholes!!!!

    • Guest

      They started the review saying it was a terrible movie. Zaat is part of the “it’s so bad, it’s good” category. It’s not for everyone, but some people get a kick out of watching movies that were so poorly made that it’s funny. The movie is campy, and I enjoy seeing the exaggerated, absurd, and awkward quality of Zaat. That’s why I like Galaxy Invader, it’s why I like Troll 2. That said, you’re right it’s a terrible movie. However, like I said they never presented it as high quality entertainment. Just as a stupid movie to laugh at. 

  • J Glassyocean

    Great review as usual. Although I’m starting to think you guys make these videos as an excuse to clank bottles a lot.

    • Ghetto Capitalist

      I’m your host, a guy named Ghost. I’m a capitalist and I deserve more respect! 

  • Strelnikov

    Jay, “Zaat” is what is called “regional film making”, where people outside of Hollywood make movies for regional or national distribution. Usually these movies are low budget genre flicks….the movies of Larry Buchanan fit that description perfectly; they were all made in Texas and shown in the Southern drive-in circuit or on Southern UHF stations.

    I think the people who made “Zaat” heard that one of the film directors at the Centron Corporation made “Carnival of Souls” and said to themselves,”if he could make a horror film, we could make a monster movie!”

    They were dead wrong.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jonah-Falcon/525044162 Jonah Falcon

       Herk Harvey admitted he was influenced by foreign cinema, so there ya go.

      • Strelnikov

        It’s obvious that Harvey saw “Nosferatu” or possibly “Vampyr” and all the creepy building shots remind me of “Last Year at Marienbad”, so yeah, I can agree he was influenced.

  • Luke

    what the fuck….? you didn’t watch the video at all did you?

  • Ldaltomare

    I like it when you review old movies because it means you can use footage other than what was in the trailer! So when you describe a scene you can SHOW up what you’re talking about!

    Also, at 11:10 she doesn’t plug her nose, she puts that air tube into her mouth.

  • Guest

    I nearly died laughing at the super awkward run/walk at the end.

  • Stick

    Probably killed so many fish for this movie

  • Robby

    Awesome episode. Jay’s “I put a glory hole in Plinkett’s bathroom,” and Mike’s “I think George Lucas is familiar with Zaat” had me in stiches.

  • Smokey MacPot

    It definitely needed more tits.

  • Guest

    Now ZAAT!… was a movie.

  • Brandon Summers

    Are you guys on a John Waters kick? That’s the opening from “Female Trouble” and that fried chicken music was in “Pecker”. Is it because of Clayton Prince?

  • Mike

    More ad spam, please

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jonah-Falcon/525044162 Jonah Falcon

    Small note here: ZaAt was completed in 1970 and was trademarked in 1971. However, it did not see a theatrical release of any kind til 1980.

    I remember this because I read the NY Daily News a TON and there was a section called “The Phantom of the Movies”. The writer would go to Times Square and see the most obscure films which would now be direct-to-video, such as Boggy Creek II: And the Adventure Continues.

    The Phantom, aka Joe Kane, now has his own movie site: http://www.videoscopemag.com/

  • hobum

    guys…you HAVE to review Nobuhiko Obayashi’s 1977 film “Hausu” (or “House”). It’s the best kind of B-horror, but Japanese, and just…I can’t even…aaduguhghh

    • Strelnikov

      I tried to get the Bad Movie Fiends podcast interested in that flick, but they woulden’t touch it because it was a Critereon release and thus too expensive or some other bullshit excuse.

      I agree with you; that movie has to be seen to be believed.

  • Hellno

    Good looks on smoking the BLM 100s (Basic Light Menthol 100), You have indeed picked the trashiest smokes for your character. Good looks.

  • Strelnikov

    It’s my understanding that “Zaat” hit the Southern movie circuit (drive-ins and second-run movie houses) right after it was made, and was actually re-released in the mid 1970s because the first run was a dud. It might not have hit the NYC grindhouses until 1980 because some of these releasing companies would whore movies out to death (I heard that “The Hellcats”, that Ross Hagen late-1960s biker movie, made a million dollars because it stayed in theaters for years.)

  • Deak Thefreak

    I would say that such a movie style would be ripe for parody except 1) such movies are self-parody and 2) John Landis already did that in 1973.

    Now go watch Myra Breckinridge because I hate you.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jonah-Falcon/525044162 Jonah Falcon

       Oh, please. Myra Breckinridge isn’t as bad as that -  to torture someone, force them to watch Sextette.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_22NXDRV6KHIDQDWR56WEPTCEQA Dee

    I actually want to buy the blue ray.

    Always wondered if you guys liked Incepton or any of the Potter movies.

    And for the lolz, you must review the Twilight saga. Believe me you will get 9 million hits, from people that also hate it and fangirls wanting to kill you.

    • Smokey MacPot

      or fangirls wanting to bang you.

    • cocksaplenty

      well, since they reviewed the last Twilight movie on HITB, I don’t think Plinkett can review them all; it’ll just ruin the flow of reviewing the first four movies and leaving Plinkett incomplete bc Mike and Jay reviewed it.

    Nooo nooo fuck Zaat! I want Plinkett. PLINKETT!!

  • Cleretic

    One of the most fun parts of Half in the Bag is seeing you guys just take so much joy in finding new ways and reasons to destroy your own set. It’s fantastic.

  • Ohad

    this show junped the shark ever since the VCR became conscience.
     I still like it thou.

    This was an MST3K movie called ”

  • Ninsaru

    isn’t this movie actually called “Blood Waters of Dr. Z”?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jonah-Falcon/525044162 Jonah Falcon

      Original title was “ZaAt”. “Blood Waters of Dr. Z” was the version cut down for TV.

  • Bob97

    Awesome! Please more reviews of bad movies! Those are the best!

  • thefreeist

    Terrific spit-take by Jay.
    Room looks fine, Plinkett will never notice

  • MattintheCrown

    Considering how Zaat’s hands hands had the tendency to lacerate the skin of people he grabbed, I can see how he’d decide that he’d need a lady friend.

  • Sd

    Hmmm… MST3K already did this… kinda of like the plot for your awful game show… damn dudes…. are you really ripping them off?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jonah-Falcon/525044162 Jonah Falcon

      The MST3K version didn’t have the extended opening of Leopold doing NOTHING, and there was no hippie scene in Blood Waters either.

    • Hazel867

      how is reviewing a movie that MST3K riffed ripping them off

    • joe_wells32

      You do realise how dumb you must be come onto here just to post that. Also, MST3K and RLM have totally different ways of viewing a movie. Just because one looked at something before the other makes it a rip-off? Please refer to my first point.

      • Srjoben

        I think you missed what he actually said, their new show Gamestation 2.0 is basically the same setup as MST3k.

        • http://www.facebook.com/ron.mcadams Ron McAdams

          Howso?

          • Srjoben

             In the general sense that it uses the framing device of a guy on a space station who is given media to talk about against his will.

  • Nonay

    review The Avengers NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, and Things

    • cocksaplenty

      we’ve waited more than a goddamn year for Things; the RLM crew should all review it, all 6 of them, in one sitting, bc that looks like a masterpiece of badness; if The Room is Citizen Kane of bad movies, then Things is the Terminator 2 of bad movies.

  • http://profiles.google.com/grimspoon Lucas Grodzinski

    Your set looked really dangerous in this episode. Be careful guys.

  • Anonymous

    I’ve seen this. It was called The Blood Waters of Dr. Z and the Mystery Science Theater crew did a riff of it.
    I can’t remember all of it though. Is this the one where there was a couple just sitting in their living room and suddenly their house explodes for no reason?

    • TV’s Rob

      No, that one was Parts: The Clonus Horror.

  • simonsaidso

    I think by the end of the reviewing year the room should be nothing but a flood of beer bottles reaching to the ceiling.

    • cocksaplenty

      disappointed they cleaned up and moved?

  • Anonymous

    Please so street trash .

    • Fucko

      street trash fucking rules

  • Fakename

    Thank god you guys reviewed this instead of The Avengers.

    • cocksaplenty

      too bad they did both, eh?

  • Septapus

    Mike looks as if he was smoking copious amounts of weed the night before.

  • Nick

    C’mon guys, the point of this movie is obvious. This movie flawlessly built up to a riveting climax as Zaat destroyed the Curlin Nescar with a ball peen hammer.  I’m surprised and appalled you missed it.

  • LEANDER

    “Well shit now I’m a catfish man. I ain’t gonna nab this broad as a catfish man!”

    I LOLed. Words to live by.

  • Aetr

    Loved the “Female trouble” background.

  • Micah Paul

    When the girl gets dunked, she’s actually grabbing a breathing tube and puts it in her mouth as she goes under. 

  • Guest

    What in the fuck is wrong with you two!? Did NEITHER OF YOU watch mst3k!?

    How is that possible?

    Y’all should do this for your next review of an awful sci-fi film.

  • Hwgw

    your reviews are so relaxing, thank you so much for your work jay and mike

  • CLANK4001

    ZAAT!

  • Sarge081089

    is it me or are our two intrepid reviewers becoming like Mr. Plinkett?

    • Avacadomastr

       The more time you spend in Plinkett’s lair.. the more he infects you..

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Andrew-Ivers/1619354 Andrew Ivers

    the pharmacy-trashing scene is clearly an homage to citizen kane

  • http://www.facebook.com/olaf2046 Olaf Johnson

    Yeah this was one of the later years MST3K episodes. How did you guys not watch MST3K or mention  that since I’m sure 90% of the RLM/HITB fan base is in some way, like myself connected to what the MST3K/RiffTrax guys have done before.

  • Mick Travis

    Alexandre Phillippe was an idiot to choose going to Hollywood instead of hanging out with you guys, drinking beer, and watching ZAAT.  

  • Asian

    “After Last Season” will have you shout more questions. The entire set was either made of, or decorated by printer paper. True facts.

  • Topdek

    Link to the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode featuring “Blood Waters of Dr. Z”, another title used for “Zaat”.

    I particularly love Crow T. Robot’s impression of the emo scientist in one of the sketches (“At just the right moment, ATTACK!”)

  • Trekkie Gnossis

    Thanks for the MST3K reference. It was killing me. I kept saying to myself, this looks so fucking familiar. I swear it was on MST3K, but there was no “ZAAT” on MST3K, it was of course a terrible copy of the “Blood Waters of Dr. Z”. It looks like you got a much better DVD copy of it! Kudos/

  • http://www.facebook.com/MaaShinn Matthew Shannon

    best drink spit reaction ever

  • skagboy

    you guys should make more reviews of this type of bizzarre B-movies

    • cocksaplenty

      thus, Best of the Worst fulfilled your wish

  • fikus

    super rivju

  • emanuel reuter

    i hope they didn’t kill those fish’ to make the movie

  • GoonieGooGoo

    I’m gonna watch Zaat right now. Thanks to Mike and that fucking hack Jay Bauman for introducing this movie.

    • cocksaplenty

      it’s an endurance test, i’ll say.

  • http://twitter.com/uncdan85 Daniel Nguyen-Phuoc

    I swear, these guys just love trashing their set. XD

  • UnShame

    They’re showing their favorite scene in the movie and it’s just that monster trashing the room a little bit. I guess they really like breaking and throwing things on the ground…

  • myself

    I think Dune by David Lynch might be an interesting review.

  • MrButtons08

    this movie is on Netflix but it is called Blood Waters of Dr. Z

  • Ben

    Why did plinkett leave in the first place? It’s never revealed what “things” he needed to figure out…

  • GoodGuy Grayson

    RIP Don Barton.

    Apparently Mr. Barton was not happy with his film Zaat being used on Mystery Science Theater 3000. http://www.mst3kinfo.com/?p=15572

    RIP
