Never-Ending Beefcake
MST3K 412 • Hercules and the Captive Women
Hosted by Adam Clarke and Chris Piuma
Happy Labour Day! Hercules and the Captive Women takes the blood of Uranus and… shipwreck… shapeshifter… other stuff… anyway, it all causes Chris and Adam to think about Atlantis, Proteus, Mario Bava, Mario Mario, and Nastassja Kinski.
