    “Opposition politicians said the prison records showed prisons were like “holiday farms”

    Uh, yeah, sounds like Club Med.

    I just hope those spiders are not being roughly handled as their venom is taken from them.

    Errrmmm… I think Bruce Willis in 12 Monkeys would have been a more fitting pop-culture reference. But that was a great episode of mst3k.

    Clearly, a Volkswagen Beetle with some legs on it so it appears like a big spider trumps Willis.

    Quick! Someone get Pamela Andersen over there to protest Spider milking! (She may even get some respect from a captive audience.)

    Hey, watch what you say about The Giant Spider Invasion – it had the first topless scene my innocent early teen eyes had the joy of seeing.

    The redback is related to the black widow, of which I know a bit. I cannot believe anyone would inject that – even diluted – without having one seriously masochist streak.

    TOPLESS SCENE??? I saw the MST3K version of Giant Spider Invasion, but I do remember the redneck girl running around in her skivvies while the Volkswagen… I mean, the spider attacked her. Curse you Sci-Fi Channel censors! Curse you to the pits of tartaras!

    Vaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnce!

    Well, you assume that the topless person was the redneck girl, not the redneck wife. The censors might have been doing you a favor.

    It could have been worse… It could have been the redneck farmer in his truss.

    Btw, they weren’t rednecks; GSI took place in Wisconsin. You may be confusing it with Squirm, another hideous example of rustic MST3K fodder.

    Oh, Wisconsin. That means they’re hicks, right?

    Ah, but 12M featured Willis eating a spider while in prison…

    Don’t you remember the scene where I said, “The spiders are using all eight of their eyes now…”
