The Need to Be Fancy
MST3K 613 • The Sinister Urge
Hosted by Charlotte Wells and Chris Piuma
It’s Ed Wood’s centenary year, and in celebration, Chris and Charlotte are giving in to The Sinister Urge. It’s leading them down a dark path towards smut, dirty pictures, deathly orgies, love feasts, and taking it out in trade.
Thank goodness this experiment also features an educational short about Keeping Clean and Neat!
