   HAD is hard to describe as the "better" of the Film Crew's, since the   
   movie itself is even more soul-crushingly drab than Red Zone Cuba and   
   Incredibly Strange Creatures combined--   
   But at least the jokes stick to the actual movie onscreen, compared to   
   the self-indulgent who-cares personal running shticks of the "Giant of   
   Marathon" riffs.   
      
   If there's a "best" one, I'd say WWoWongo still wins out, for at least   
   being the *least* painful movie and having actual movie-related riffs.   
   But, the series's still proof that you just can't teach RiffTrax old   
   tricks.  :(
