Welcome back to 1 out of 5 – Would Recommend, where I completely forgot the MST3k Reunion Show was tonight! So instead of D.O.A. – Dead or Alive, we will be watching 1990’s The Final Sacrifice, the subject of a classic MST3k episode. What’s The Plot? Indeterminately young man Troy McGreggor discovers a strange map…
