Today’s music is the theme from Mystery Science Theater 3000. It’s a great song, from a great show, and the guys who made it are still active over at RiffTrax, and have had some darn cool stuff come out recently. I’ll be talking about a few of their recent release in an article coming up in the next couple of weeks, and of course look out for Manos: The Hands of Fate, coming soon.
