    Exeter: Put Neutron in the thought converter? Next you’ll be putting me in the thought converter

    Llaana scientist [sotto voce]: I’ll put you in the bitch converter

    Probably the best MST3K, although The Amazing Colossal Man is up there

        Don’t try to move, the handles are magnetized…

        Which would mean something if your hands were made of metal

      Yes, they’re concentrating all their attention on Metaluna. Those flashes of light…they’re meteors. Hundreds of them. The intense heat is turning Metaluna into a radioactive sun. The temperature must be thousands of degrees by now.

      Cooler by the lake.

    The tagline for this movie promises supreme excitement, but that’s a bit of an exaggeration. It’s still very entertaining however. This is definitely better made than similar b-movies of the '50s. A few more stills…

    Rex Reason! Now that sounds like a name for a comic book character, like the normal human with a high-functioning mind, the scientist, poet and statesman that superheroes turn to for help in solving mysteries and facing the odds, each and every installment.
    Like if the Avengers could also count on someone like Sherlock Holmes.
