I honestly enjoyed Wild Wild West as a kid however terrible it was. Honestly the giant mechanical spider didn't detract from the film for me. What did was the clunky writing and by the numbers cinematography.

2024-06-21 17:48:23 +0000 UTCExcellent episode, as ever! However, it is my sad duty to announce that Abe has been misinformed by something even more cursed and Anglo-coded than sexual repression: bad journalism. Basically, the innuendo in Captain Pugwash was all urban myth and rumour, that then later got published by the Guardian. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/captain-pugwash-double-meanings/
