MST3K 902: Phantom Planet

It's back to rewatching some of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes that I first saw on official DVDs and may not have seen many times because of that. After two episodes in a row from the fourth season featuring Joel, I've returned to the ninth season and a Mike episode, "The Phantom Planet." To begin with, an admission: after titles like "The Phantom Planet" and "Attack of the Giant Leeches" (or "Attack of the The Eye Creatures") and "Revenge of the Creature," I can sort of understand why a certain subset of people might have issues with the titles of the new Star Wars movies...
