The only reason why I know these is because I watched MST 3K: - ME 4 is “Invasion of the Neptune Men” (which is a warning to makers of low-budget films that you should look carefully at the stock footage you’re using for battle scenes before you insert it in); - ME 6 is “Space Mutiny”. Another hint for NDP 25 is that the person recommending the Mozart is not a doctor but an on-again, off-again girlfriend of the man who’s recovering. ---
