    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.

    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.

    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.

    I had to look up the theatrical ad for this and apparently it was a TV movie and debuted on Dec. 26, 1967 as ZONTAR, THE LIVING THING FROM VENUS.
