We will be holding the first official Uncle John's Burger Dog launch party at 7:00 PM on Thursday, March 13th at the Riverview Theater in Minneapolis, MN!
This event is open to the public and all attendees will be treated to Uncle John's Burger Dogs served by the "Burger Dog girls" and a free screening of the award-winning Christopher R. Mihm film which served as the inspiration for the Uncle John's Burger Dog, " The Giant Spider!" We will also be selling frozen packages of Uncle John's Burger Dogs at the event! The film is unrated but, if it were to receive a rating, would barely be considered PG.
Advance tickets are now available! Tickets are $7 each and include admission to the event and one (1) food ticket good for a single Uncle John's Burger Dog! As a special deal only available through this website, you can pre-order an extra food ticket which can be redeemed for a second Uncle John's Burger Dog at the event for an additional $3! This deal is ONLY available through this advance ticket deal and will not be available at the event.
IMPORTANT! You must bring your PayPal receipt to get in. Your PayPal receipt is your ticket to enter!
If you own a restaurant, bar, theater or any other establishment interested in possibly selling the Uncle John's Burger Dog and you would like to attend this event to sample the product (and enjoy a very fun movie) OR you are a member of the press (bloggers welcome), we are offering certain deals (including possibly free entrance) in the hopes of enticing you to join us. If you would like to learn more, please contact our VP of Sales and Marketing, Tim Braun, at 763-370-7045 to discuss the possibilities!
Advance tickets to the April 26th world premiere of the next Mihmiverse film, " The Late Night Double Feature," AND the first-ever pre-party are STILL AVAILABLE—but are NOT going to last!

The debut of writer/director Christopher R. Mihm's ode to the drive-in double features of yesteryear will take place on Saturday, April 26th (a full month earlier than usual) at the historic Heights Theatre on the outskirts of Minneapolis, MN. Doors will open at 6:30 PM with the movie starting at or around 7:30.
In addition to the main attraction, attendees will enjoy a program complete with hand-picked, era-appropriate newsreels, classic trailers, appearances by most (if not all) of the cast and crew, autographs, free cupcakes, photo opportunities with monsters from the film (don't forget your camera!), a silent auction and organ music from the "WCCO Mighty Wurlitzer!" DVDs, posters and other exclusive merchandise will also be on sale!
NOTE: All advance ticket holders will receive an individually numbered collector's ticket which will be mailed within the first two weeks of April! All attendees must present their collector's ticket(s) at the door to be admitted into the event.
Because the premiere will be held on a Saturday, we will be holding a special "first time ever" pre-party the night before—an event we are playfully calling "The Night Before The Thing!"
Limited to 40 lucky guests, the pre-party will take place on Friday, April 25th from 6:00 to 10:00PM at the LivINN Hotel in Fridley, MN (only two miles north of the Heights Theatre).
The night will include dinner provided by Uncle John's Burger Dog, a panel discussion/live podcast recording with writer/director Christopher R. Mihm and the Mihmiverse Bonfire Podcast crew, appearances by several familiar Mihmiverse faces, AND top secret entertainment and shenanigans you will NOT want to miss!
ALSO, all pre-party attendees may pre-order a limited-edition collectible T-shirt that will ONLY be available at the event (the exact design will be revealed at a later date)! You MUST pre-order a T-shirt to receive one, but it is NOT required to attend! Upon receipt of your shirt payment, we will contact you regarding size(s)!
Coming from out of town and need a place to stay? The Mihmiverse has teamed up with the LivINN Hotel in Fridley, MN to offer a special deal on accommodations: $75.00 per night—or upgrade to one of their suites for just $10 more!
Located just two miles north of the Heights Theatre, the LivINN Hotel is part of what's known as the "Best Value" Hotel Chain for lodging accommodations in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, providing quality guest rooms and suites. The LivINN is ALSO the location where the premiere pre-party will take place!
To take advantage of this special offer, reserve your room(s) by phone and ask to be added to the "Saint Euphoria LLC" block of rooms!
Check out the LivINN's website at www.livinnfridley.com for more information about this great hotel!
IMPORTANT! Interest in these events is EXTREMELY HIGH! Because of this, we cannot guarantee the availability of "day-of" admission tickets. If either event sells out through advance sales, there will be no tickets available at the door.
These events are open to the public, so the ONLY WAY to ensure admittance to either event is to purchase an advance ticket!

This month, the podcast crew mix up the format (a little) when they welcome their guest, the ever-talented Rachel Grubb (Amy/Hagra), into the podcast basement (sadly, the fire pit is still covered by two feet of snow) to watch and record the first-ever "MBP3K commentary" for Mr. Mihm's (and Ms. Grubb's) first film in the Mihmiverse series, "The Monster of Phantom Lake."
Hijinks and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" references abound!

Kronos (1957)
Directed by Kurt Neumann
Starring Jeff Morrow and Barbara Lawrence
A flying saucer crashes into the Gulf of Mexico, and from it emerges a giant, seemingly unstoppable machine. The strange, "little-cube-on-top-of-big-cube-with-legs" robot trudges across the countryside and methodically drains the Earth of all its electricity, one power plant at a time. Jeff Morrow plays a scientist (He always does!) in charge of stopping the hulking metal monster before it sends humanity back to the dark ages -- literally! As if that weren't enough, he also has to fight off an alien-possessed lab director, protect his beautiful (and brainy) girlfriend and stop the governments of the world from destroying everything by pointlessly attacking the monstrosity with their ineffective atomic arsenals! This film has all the trappings of a great 1950s science-fiction film including evil aliens, a preposterous end-of-the-world scenario, atomic bombs, giant robots, perfect-for-the-era special effects and wonderful over-the-top performances. Though working with a relatively small budget, director Kurt Neumann (who also directed the 1958 classic "The Fly") does a great job of taking a rather ridiculous and trite premise and making something very original out of it. Highly recommended!

Since so many fans and supporters have become Mihmiverse contributors, we wanted to take time to highlight some of these wonderful people! Thus, every month between now and the release of "The Late Night Double Feature," we will randomly choose and interview one of them.
This month, we interview David Lund!
Introduce yourself to the Mihmiverse!
Hi, my name is David Lund, also known as Mr. Jane Curry. We live in a stucco hovel in south Minneapolis. I'm mostly retired.
When and how did you discover the films of Christopher R. Mihm?
I learned of the films of the Mihmiverse many years ago, during a conversation with the charming Shannon McDonough (Zita Marczak/Julie Ann Saint Marie). I think she was about 12 years old at the time. I'd not met too many bona fide movie stars before that.
Which of the eight released films is your favorite and why?
"Cave Women on Mars" remains my favorite Mihmiverse film. Rachel Grubb's performance as Hagra was wonderful—even Rondo-worthy! I remain a major fan of Ms. Grubb and her acting skills.
Why did you contribute to the next Mihmiverse film, "The Late Night Double Feature?"
We (Jane and I) contributed to this year's film to help continue our enjoyment, and to honor the memory of our friend Dorothy Brindle, who passed away last Spring. I can just hear Dorothy cackling in appreciation. Dorothy's son, Paul, and Paul's wife, Kathy, are coming from Michigan for the premiere in April.

"Color Me Frightened"
Each of these films has a color in the title. Name them...if you can!
1. (1954) A strange prehistoric beast lurks in the depths of the Amazonian jungle. A group of scientists try to capture the animal and bring it back to civilization for study. It doesn't go well. Richard Carlson, Richard Denning and Whit Bissell star.
2. (1956) Basil Rathbone stars as Sir Joel Cadman, a mad scientist who kidnaps his victims and cuts open their brains in an effort to discover a means to cure his wife's brain tumor.
3. (1957) Volcanic activity frees giant scorpions from the earth who wreak havoc in the rural countryside and eventually threaten Mexico City. Richard Denning stars in another "colorful" film.
4. (1957) Years before starring as J.R. Ewing's dad on "Dallas," Jim Davis leads a scientific expedition to Africa to investigate wasps that have been exposed to radiation and mutated into giant, killing monsters.
5. (1968) A giant asteroid is heading toward Earth, so Robert Horton leads a team of astronauts from a nearby space station to blow it up. The mission is successful, but they unknowingly return to the station carrying a gooey substance that mutates into one-eyed monsters that feed off electricity.
Scroll to the bottom of the Mihmiverse Monthly for the answers.

Here's a fantastic recipe for those bags of chicken breast you can buy in the frozen food section of the supermarket. In addition to adding flavor and succulence to boring old frozen chicken, the sauce works as a fabulous gravy on a side of rice or potatoes. In our house, there are never leftovers when we make this scrumptious dish!
Chicken with Rosemary-Onion Sauce
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 teaspoons butter, divided
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup fat-free milk
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, brown chicken in 1 teaspoon butter. Transfer to an 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray.
2. In the same skillet, saute onion and garlic in remaining butter until tender. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually stir in broth and milk. Add rosemary. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
3. Pour sauce over chicken. Cover and bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°.
Makes 4 servings
5 out of 5 Oculons agree this is a dish not to miss! Serve with asparagus and white rice or mashed potatoes—and don't forget the Jell-O. There's always room for Jell-O!
You can find this recipe (and many more like it) and its corresponding nutrition information on the Taste of Home website!
