Robert Clary, who played Cpl. Louis LeBeau. Our upcoming episode on him details his childhood in Paris, his imprisonment in the Nazi concentration camps, his return to a career as an entertainer after his liberation, and his speaking out against Holocaust denialism. youtu.be/oyFE4eRBA6g

Reading about Krauss and Epstein laughing off the EXPERT ADVICE OF KRAUSS' LAWYER in their typo-riddled correspondence is giving several layers of schadenfreude right now

My bad. I sincerely apologize for not getting your point. That was on me.

It is both well known and obscure (depending on your age) that Bob Crane (Col. Hogan) was murdered in 1978. Likely due to his vast array of filmed and photographed sexual encounters. We look at the murder in context of changing landscape of sex and masculinity in US! #Hogan'sHeroesandPostWarAmerica

Please help us cover the costs to complete this video/podcast documentary on the making and meaning of Hogan's Heroes in American History. For the episode on Crane we'll be interviewing historians Greg Daddis (Pulp Vietnam) and Beth Bailey (Sex in the Heartland) www.kickstarter.com/projects/lee...

if your mouth opens and says the words, "but the democrats don't offer anything to white people". you need to re-examine your value systems and stop centering yourself. they offer plenty to white people. you benefit from living in a better country when democratic policies are enacted. 2/x

if you look in the mirror and see a white face staring back at you, you are not the base of the democratic party. you can, if you choose to be, be part of the democratic party. i know this to be true, simply because i am an example of that 1/x

Black people voting consistently for the Dems is probably one reason that WHITE PEOPLE still have Social Security, for example.

This is so obviously going to be a blast, folks. Check out the Kickstarter!

Dixon, who played Kinch, left Hogan's after 4 years to pursue his own work. The Spook Who Sat By The Door, based on a book by the same name written by Sam Greenlee, was considered so controversial the FBI destroyed every copy of it except for ONE hidden in a vault under a different name.

Also, subscribe to the YouTube channel where it will appear! www.youtube.com/@HogansHeroe...

Ivan Dixon, who played Sgt Kinchloe, later directed a film about radical Black revolutionaries. FBI pressured theaters to cease showing the film, and all but 1 copy was destroyed. Want to know more? See our Kickstarter for "Hogan's Heroes and Postwar America" www.kickstarter.com/projects/lee...

I’m gonna say it again, i don’t want to hear nothing from “Never Trumpers” and former Republican about what the Democratic Party needs to do. You could’ve stamped out the Tea Party that gave rise to Trump but, you were okay with the power grab and the legislation that flowed from it.

"FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!"

This is so exciting! This was my grandfather's favorite show. Such happy memories of laying on my grandparent's living room floor watching this with him sat in his recliner, eating ice cream, and laughing.

One little correction here: Trump's *ONLY* priority has always been himself.

What a great kickstarter for us to contribute to . . . this is going to be amazing and I'm so glad to see that it is happening. Now more than ever!

This is going to be amazing! We all need this.

❤️👍❤️

Tier rewards are finalized! And if you have the bandwidth for it, be sure to follow our pre-launch campaign on Kickstarter so we can get as much momentum going into this as we can! And remember: #MockNazis www.kickstarter.com/projects/lee...

Learning about the people involved in the making of Hogan’s Heroes - people who had firsthand experience as victims of the Nazis’ brutality who then spent six years in the 1960s making a show mocking Nazis - has been an absolutely riveting journey, and I am not the same person I was when I began it.

If anyone can help. Hogan's Heroes helped a generation deal w/ the aftermath of WWII. Cast contained veterans and Jews all seeking catharsis thru laughter.

I've got HH on while I'm working and this show is beginning to become a bit of a comfort watch. One recurring theme I'm enjoying: Carter is a pyromaniac (which puts the flaming arrow-exploding Nazi truck scene in sharper focus) and his excitement at blowing Nazi shit up is highly relatable.

Will the new MST3K reboot that I'm part of be political? Well, the Aldai Stevenson, Estes Kefauver, Thomas Dewey, and Claire Booth Luce references we did back in the day tore the 1990s apart, so don't think Melvin Laird is safe from our riffs in 2026.

Cool project! I’ve been thinking about this show recently too…

And as a thank-you card to our guests for coming on the show, I'm creating Simpsons portraits for them. The guests from our first two episodes, @frankconniff.bsky.social, comedian, writer, and film history expert, and Dr. Christopher Browning, historian of the Holocaust. Such amazing guests!

Woo hoo!! Announcing the pre-launch of our Kickstarter to complete production on our pod doc about the making - and meaning - of Hogan's Heroes! Full launch coming on Feb. 16th, with special guest @frankconniff.bsky.social! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lee...

Pod will include interviews with Frank Conniff (of MST3K fame), Christopher Browning (author of Ordinary Men), Robert Citino (author of Death of the Wehrmacht), Beth Bailey (America's Army), Adriane Lentz-Smith, and more.

We are in production, but we need some help to get over the final hump. You can find out more on our pre-launch page. There will be various rewards for different tiers of support, including custom artwork from Simpsons' animator @annamaltese.bsky.social

Announcing our "pre-launch" phase of our Kickstarter to complete production of our video pod documentary on the making and meaning of Hogan's Heroes: Hogan's Heroes and Postwar America. Full launch is on Feb. 16, for a 40 day campaign to raise $15k www.kickstarter.com/projects/lee...

Yall literally just need to convince white people to stop being racist.

I fully acknowledge that by watching Bad Bunny's sensational Super Bowl performance instead of Turning Point USA's half-time lip-synch showcase, I was shirking my duties as an MST3K veteran. Apologies.

Here’s the non paywalled version of the Krauss Epstein piece from Ninefax today. Thanks @kateraindrops.bsky.social

Bob Crane as Col. Hogan and Robert Clary as Cpl. LeBeau. A couple of character studies for one of the tier rewards on the upcoming Kickstarter campaign for our podcast series, Hogan's Heroes and Postwar America, about the horrors of WW II and the joy of mocking the shit out of Nazis.

What's this a pile of again? Oh right, horse shit. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The two bougainvilleas planted on either side of the garage window have now grown tall enough and filled out enough that their colorful bracts now frame my view looking outside, and I’m loving it. 

This is a deep (accurate) cut. Sad thought it may be. It cuts deep.

@drmel.bsky.social Found some of the screenshots of Krauss' wife being a Jeffrey Epstein fangirl on Twitter. Haven't found the "Good on ya, Jeff!" one yet, but thought I'd forward since we were discussing them a short time ago.

The ASU Office of Equity and Inclusion determinations against physicist Lawrence Krauss are in the Epstein Files. Krauss is a sleaze. https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00807199.pdf #epsteinfiles

Also, r@ping and m*rdering children: apparently just a "lifestyle" that some censorious prudes find "icky"

Nancy Dahl, Lawrence Krauss' wife, going to the mat for Epstein several years ago on Twitter, and a screen cap of an email showing Epstein wiring $25,000 to her and Lawrence as a wedding gift. I wouldn't call it 'unbelievable,' but still...LOL.

Grace. Respect. Love.

We've only been aware of Trump's racism since a 1973 article about his real estate company refusing the rent apartments to black people, the first ever mention of his name in the NYT. That's why his Obama meme comes as a total shock. Who knew?
