Heather and Kaleb Ramble On About MST3K And Nerd All Over The Place In The Process 12 comments
Once upon a time, two MSTies chatted furiously and at length about one of their favorite television shows of all time. Quips were made, quotes quoted, and other “Q” words as well!

Sunday Sunrise: Who are the best new actors of this generation? Leave a comment

I first introduced [...]
