Out of Control

Posted on Jul 25, 2008Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

It's been a month since the Get Smart movie was released, and reviews have been surprisingly positive. All the fans I know of the original television series who saw the movie have enjoyed it, which is not what I expected. What's also unexpected is the alacrity with which Warner Bros. released a sequel — or…

Posted on Jan 24, 2008Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

Courtesy channel surfing, I was vaguely familiar with the MST3K TV series, so when the movie received a wider release on VHS, I sought it out during my…
