A work-in-progress reconstruction of the Rex Dart: Eskimo Spy segment of the Godzilla vs. Megalon episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Video:
Godzilla vs. Megalon (Criterion scan via Internet Archive)
Audio:
MST3K Vol. 10 (GvM disc)
(don’t worry, I already have this incredibly rare DVD set.)
Goals:
- Upgrade video to 2022 standards (at least 1080p)
- Keep the original 4:3 aspect ratio intact (with accurate framing)
- Restore the glaring blue tint present over the segment
- Make an alternate “Purist” version with no reframing or rebluing
This will be the easiest thing I’ve ever done
Sample version (beware of minor framing delays):
