Joe Don Baker's reputation
I'm not particularly familiar with the the show but I'm aware that they covered two Joe Don Baker films during their run with Mitchell and Final justice. When I see the actor discussed it's often in reference to MS3TK and he became something of a running gag. I've no issue with that, the hosts are just cracking jokes and trying to entertain. However I have over the years seen people reference Baker as a poor actor based solely off MS3TK's coverage of those films.
I'm curious if this is a sentiment shared ambiently by some general fans of the show because that seems a great injustice. Baker was a great actor who on his best day was electric on screen in things like Edge of Darkness and proved a capable leading man in his Phil Karlsen collaborations. He was in many great movies and was the best part of more than a few weaker ones. The jokes are funny but they shouldn't take the away from his talent or overshadow his good works.
I'm curious what people who watch MS3TK'S opinion on Baker is and if anyone has delved further into his filmography?
