MST3K's humble beginnings -- original set and theme song intact -- are preserved in "Crawling Hand," in which Josh Weinstein provides the voice of Tom and the role of Dr. Erhardt. Alan Hale Jr. provides Joel and the green 'bots with plenty of desert-isle inspiration, in a film about an astronaut that loses a hand, which then takes on a life of its own. The guys ease their minds from this filmic disaster by referencing other famous "astronauts," and taking a few rolls down the lane.
