    177. Be Very Suspicious of Big Forklift. [MST3K 310. Fugitive Alien.]

    Fugitive Alien is back for season 3, so Chris and Charlotte finally get to talk about forklifts, forklifts, forklifts, forklifts, and tongue twisters. Show Notes. Fugitive Alien (スターウルフ) (Minoru Kanaya & Kiyosumi Kuzakawa, 1978 / 1986): MST3K Wiki. IMDB. Watch on YouTube. Our previous episode on the KTMA version has more behind-the-scenes details about this “movie”. The National Hat Museum in Portland. Chris was in Liminal’s production of Far Away by Caryl Churchill. (Chris’s hat isn't in the publicity shot of hats.) That top 100 episodes list. Trix. Deadlift. Guido. Forklift racing. Competitive forklift driving. The Stapler Cup. Jack Perkins: Finding Moosewood, Finding God. Syd Field: Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting. Some articulation exercises. UPDATE: It has been found! Thanks, listeners. Morton Thiokol was the contractor that manufactured the O-rings that failed and led to the Challenger explosion. (I haven’t found evidence of anyone else abbreviating the name like Tom does, but that has to be the reference.) Support us on Patreon and you can listen to a special bonus bit that was cut for time from this episode.
