Missile to the Moon (Mike Nelson and Fred Willard edition)

The title says it all: a missile goes to the moon! Only there are people in the missile so it’s not really a missile but should more precisely be referred to as a “rocket”!

Still, it goes to the moon, so the title is 50 percent right, which is more than you can say for, oh, Magnolia, which is not about magnolias at all, but rather is largely comprised of Tom Cruise talking about his junk. Not only does Missile to the Moon offer a title that is half true, it also delivers a thrilling 50’s era tale filled with chunk headed scientists, shapely pageant winners, and a spider that’s roughly as menacing as one of the lesser Baldwin brothers.

But the real star of this RiffTrax is comedy legend Fred Willard! Yes, the funniest man in America joins Mike as they take on the classic Missile to the Moon.
