Don Ellis & Julie Driscoll - Moon Zero Two (from The Hammer Film Music Collection, Vol. 1, 2000) - Wow, just wow. Composer Ellis and singer Driscoll hit the listener with a full-on sonic body tackle, the effects of which will linger in one's sense memory long after the song's conclusion.
The movie is no great shakes, and I say that as someone who has an irrational fondness for Hammer Films' non-horror material. As the above poster blatantly states, the film tries to transplant the genre conventions of the western into the barren soil of the lunar surface, with rather soporific results. Even the MST3K crew were hard-pressed to push its reading on the entertainment value scale into the "mildly diverting" range.

Just wanted to say that day in day out you have the most solid blog out there right now. Thanks
Gotta agree, best blog by miles, nice to have on which isn't obsessed with ryan adams and the white stripes.
Whatever happened to MST3K, used to be compulsory sunday afternoon post clubbing telly in my younger days, then it disappered, doesn't even get a shake on late night cable anymore.

MST3K reruns have fallen afoul of a couple different things: they're two hours long and few cable companies want to devote that amount of time to them, plus shows with lapsed rights to the movies can't be shown anymore.
Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett still do the MST-kinda thing: with the downloadable Rifftrax (for major Hollywood movies) and The Film Crew DVDs for purchase.
