I genuinely love #Pumaman. It's bad, but it has a real charm to it.

But did you know this absurd rear-projected flying scene famously heckled on #MST3k was intentionally performed the way it was?

This and more revealed by the Pumaman himself, in this delightful interview with Walter George Alton.

It's always interesting when you actually hear the motivations and stories behind these kinds of films.

Disappointing spoiler, however: he's not really happy with MST3k's riffing of it. That's really a shame.

Nothing on TV tonight so we're bringing our outdoors music and drinking indoors now that the sun has moved out of warming range.

However...

UK people. At five to nine tonight on Pluto TV there is an absolute classic movie and one of our absolute favourites getting some #MST3K treatment. Watch the MST3K channel for free on your laptop or on your Smart TV's Pluto.TV app and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Do I guarantee it? I guarantee it.
