Episode 506: Eegah

Image
MST3K one-line description:  A giant caveman stumbles across modern civilization, then kidnaps a teenage girl and her father. Overall Notes: Rob: Eegah, the movie so good (??), Joel used it twice, once in the show proper and once as part of the first-ever MST3K live tour. The latter featured a near-pristine print of the movie, making Arch Hall, Jr. all the more frightening. This one is notable for featuring Richard "Jaws" Kiehl as the giant-like prehistoric throwback.

It was a very late night in college when I flipped around the channels for something to watch while playing some Age of Empires II (the hottest game 2003 had to offer). Somehow I landed on this, and even though I hadn't yet seen the riffed version, its awfulness is still quite apparent. The Movie: Rob: C+ Brain is effective a riff on Frankenstein: A scientist who wants to bring life to those who would normally die. In this case, the focus is on one part...a brain, with the plo...
