#51 Honorable mention in Mighty Jack's Top 50
Excellence Level: Gold
Movie Pain: Low - Bert I Gordon's a kick
Riffing: Wildly Funny
Skits: A few misses but mostly Hilarious

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll retch at the sight of a 60 foot man in a diaper -  Col Glen Manning takes a radiation bath while trying to save another and soon starts growing at an alarming rate, "...just like Clifford the Big Red Dog!" - Joel.
    Something I enjoyed about this film was that I was able to relate to the Colonel, set in his place I wouldn't be the noble, introspective hero seen in similar movies. Heck no, I'd whine and moan just like Glen! "What sin could a man commit in a single lifetime", he grouses. Servo's riff, "Wait till he sees the toilet!" gives hysterical justification to his grumpy attitude.
    Director Bert I Gordon's story is both heartfelt angst and goofy cheese, wrapped in a 'watered down' cold war allegory. The scene with that giant syringe is a wonderful campy film moment, as is Glen (A Toy's R Us kid) wandering around Las Vegas, sampling several giant objects (I wish he'd have worn the crown!). Mix in the smart riffing -"No man is a Three Mile Island." - Joel, and some hilarious host segments (Joel & Mike both do a colossal man, the Bots act 'decent' to Joel) and you get an excellent gold level episode.
    Of Note: Rhino lost the rights to this, so if you didn't get it and want it, it's off to the tape traders you go.

Host Segments
Intro: Crow and Tom hang out in their "Robot-Exclusive" fort. Invention: At Deep 13 it's the melding of plant and man into the... Plant that reviews music! On the SOL they offer up non-permanent tattoos. Segment 1: Sensitive Tom & Crow come up with "well cooked" things to say to Glen's fiancee. Segment 2: Joel's a 50-foot man, sitting in a tiny room. Segment 3: Mike as Glen visits the SOL. End: Things a 50 ft man could do. Plus Frank meets the giant needle. Stinger: Glen laughs himself into a fit.

MST Hour Segments
Part 1: Poor Mike has a cold (for real), he makes introductions carrying Frank’s spit curl, he’s seems pretty fascinated by Bert I’s name. In seg 2 there is no credit gag (this will continue for a few episodes) Part 2: Jack stands next to a tiny bed and chair for the recap, and later takes hold of the giant syringe, attempts to give a crew member a shot (and I think, breaks the prop near the end)
