I have a YouTube video I always consider underated for helping the engineering minded understand being correct is only on variable in an argument with your company.

As for an actual movie for fun I would say Pumaman riffing by the MST3K crew, but that is for a specific crowd. I'm not culture enough for this discussion.

I have never heard of the MST3K crew before. Just watched the first 13 minutes and it's hilarious! I will come back to this to finish it.

What is the specific crowd this is for?

Those that would watch old people riffing on even older films. IDK. Me and my dad used to watch them which always holds a special pla e in my heart. The creator is local to my state, Minnesota and it started as public TV which I find interesting.

Another golden one of these is space mutiny and "Why study industrial arts?"

Hah, right, I see what you mean. It is oddly well done for what is really just a bit of riffing on an old movie. And to be fair that Pumaman episode is as old as I am. I watched the whole thing in the past couple of days though and quite enjoyed it. Will have a look for the other ones you mention as well. And then maybe just start from the beginning.

Good stuff, thanks for mentioning it!

Just watched the youtube video. Absolutely magical. I was sad to hear that the lecturer died recently. Already shared with lots of friends and colleagues.
