Hosted by Beth Martin and Charlotte Wells
It’s our 150th episode, our seventh anniversary, and someone’s birthday! Charlotte and Beth rewatch one of their favourite episodes, The Rebel Set, with the short, Johnny at the Fair. They reminisce about visiting Chicago, Toronto, Winnipeg, the Canadian National Exhibition, and Hellzapoppin’.

Show Notes.
The Rebel Set (Gene Fowler Jr, 1959): MST3K Wiki. IMDb. Trailer.
Johnny at the Fair (Jack Olsen, 1947): IMDb.
Edward Platt might look familiar. (And of course, the other actor is Don Adams.)
The Winnipeg General Strike of 1919.
Crow’s itinerary (without Evanston). If he left off the ballpark, he could almost make it.
The Art Institute of Chicago is worth spending well more than four hours in.
The CNE is the Canadian National Exhibition, which is usually called The Ex.
David Foster: Flight of the Snowbirds.
Weirdly, we haven’t done Earth vs. the Spider, Tormented, or Attack of the Giant Leeches, so stay tuned for our Summer of Gene Roth!
