'Mystery Science Theater 3000' Creator Returns with 'Cinematic Titanic'new
In its fifth and latest DVD, Cinematic Titanic tears 1964's Santa Claus Conquers the Martians a new one. MST3K riffed on the same film rather confusingly in 1991, but the new disc features fresh jokes that improve on the earlier version.
