The Final Dethklok Roadies
Sunday night we all had the great fortune to watch an old MST3K episode, which was the film The Final Sacrifice. Given how wonderfully many MST3Ks there actually are when you get right down to it, I had not seen this previously, and delighted in spending the hour and a half doubled over with convulsive fits of mirth. Along with many other excellent aspects of the episode, such as Zap Rowsdower and a guy who sounded exactly like Dr. Teeth, one thing leapt out at me in particular. The henchmen of the villain were dressed in a caricature of executioner garb, with a black hood, and a flimsy black wife-beater shirt. After several moments, suddenly, my brain was awash with scenes and images from Metalocalypse, and the roadies of Dethklok! While the imagery I describe isn't new, something about the execution of it in this film made me nearly certain that ol' Brendon Small had perhaps enjoyed this very same MST3K and that it possibly inspired that aspect of the greatness which was to come. Once you see these guys running through the woods with rifles and machetes, it's really hard to think otherwise. Along those lines, here is today's Internet Aneurysm.
