It's the final go around for Vincent Price and Anne Baxter as Egghead and Olga in a story that should have been their first go around together. It's pretty much a mess and this has turned out to be the shortest podcast review ever because of it. But there are some hightlights including an opening that will have you talking and a discussion on how dangerous it is for Batgirl to be riding around on radioactive sparkplugs.
Joining John to work this all out is author and podcaster, Kevin Lauderdale.

John had the idea of doing a Thriller rap to open the show. Once Kevin Lauderdale found out, he ran with it and came up with the lyrics and engineered the whole thing himself. Many thanks to Kevin for one of the best opening bits of the third season review.
Here's Vincent Price on Joan River's Late Show performing the Thriller rap, something he had never done before on television.
