Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S07/E04 The Incredible Melting Man

Film watched: The Incredible Melting Man

The MST3K treatment provides the following tropes
 * An Aesop: During the credits the gang goes over what they learned, such as: Don't shout 'I'm Doctor Ted Nelson' to security guards. Or that cats can get their own milk out of the fridge.
 * Call Back: "Dr. Ted Nelson was found alive and of normal size. There was no Melting Man."
 * Continuity Nod: Crow's script "Earth vs. Soup"
 * Executive Meddling: In-universe with Dr. F and Pearl's treatment of Crow's script; see Take That below.
 * Leitmotif: The crew gives Ted a theme when he's tracking down Melty by the river.
 * Take That: The segments involving Crow's film is a not so subtle jab at Gramercy Picture's meddling of the MST3K film.
