Mystery Science Theater 3000

[Winston*]

I have never seen an episode of this show. I would like to see an episode of this show. If I were to seek out an episode or two of this show, which would you recommend I seek out?

[Kurosawa Fan]

Space Mutiny is a must. Also, I loved Master Ninja I, which doesn't get enough recognition.

[Hugh_Grant]

My favorite is Overdrawn at the Memory Bank.

[thefourthwall]

If you're in the mood for a holiday viewing, try Santa Conquers the Martians, but otherwise I would suggest The Beatniks.

Dreamdead suggests Final Sacrifice.

[Russ]

From the files of my old VHS collection (I taped these off the old Comedy Central airings). It's been a long time, but I remember having especially fond memories of those marked with a *.

[Skitch]

Pod People is my favorite. Seen it a dozen times, laugh to tears every time.

This Island Earth (a.k.a The Movie)
Space Mutiny
Prince Of Space

[Mara]

Huge vote for Space Mutiny. It's awesome.

Otherwise, Manos: Hands of Fate is an acknowledged classic, and Cave Dwellers is a stitch. (I have two friends that got married because of that episode. Really.)

[D_Davis]

Great list Russ.

With this show, it seems like everyone has their own favorites.

Ask 10 people what the best episode is, and you're likely to get 10 vastly different answers. So, if multiple people start recommending the same episode, there is a very good chance that it is worthy.

My favorites:

I Accuse My Parents
Side Hackers
Bride of the Monster
Catalina Caper
Pod People
Eegah

And...

Shorts V. 1 and 2, especially Hired Parts 1 and 2, and Jr. Rodeo


I greatly prefer the episodes hosted by Joel. While Mike's writing is great, I never cared for his delivery.

[Mara]

The Brain that Wouldn't Die is underrated, I think.

"You're listening to K-PORN. Stay with us for the obscene phone call of the day."

[Skitch]

"BIG MCLARGE HUGE!"

Funniest anything ever.

[Mara]

"BIG MCLARGE HUGE!"

Funniest anything ever.

"Good thing they set their phasers to 'miss.'"

[Justin]

Space Mutiny, Warrior of the Lost World, Soultaker, The Final Sacrifice, and Pod People are some of my favorites.

[Mara]

Ah, Soultaker. I actually saw that film non-MST3K during my Insomnia Semester in London. It was on late-night tv, and I thought, "What is this crap? Is that Martin Sheen?"

(It's not. It's Joe Estevez, the sheep even blacker than Emilio.)

Anyhoo, I came home and found out it had been MST3K'd, which was ridiculously exciting.

[Wryan]

Honestly, this show has one of the ballsiest concepts ever divined. One of television's/cinema's finest moments. The Gamera films are indeed worth your time. I prefer monsters to space, myself. But just about anything works.

Danger: Diabolik is pretty standard on many lists.

[Ivan Drago]

"Good thing they set their phasers to 'miss.'"

Santa look-a-like: "My father and his father before him..."
Mike: "...also taped wool to their faces."

[Mara]

Santa look-a-like: "My father and his father before him..."
Mike: "...also taped wool to their faces."

"I wish your father could control you as well as he controls this ship!"

"What, have a mutiny on me?"

[Winston*]

Am acquiring Space Mutiny and Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, since they were the first two replies. Will watch them and if I enjoy them perhaps I'll seek out more.

[Thirdmango]

I'd like to second Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

[Sycophant]

I've come to have very little tolerance for this show and its spawn, RiffTrax. And everybody always seems to want to talk to me about how great RiffTrax are.

I think it was Rowland who voiced a similar distaste some time back.

But just about everybody loves them, so what the hey.

[Ivan Drago]

I'd like to second Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

Ah yes. Another one of my favorites.

"Hey look! Their spaceship is controlled by a Simon game."

[Fezzik]

Adding love for Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

Some other of my favorites:

Hercules and the Captive Women ("Boy, these mountains sure make you feel small...")
Eegah ("How do you do?" // "I'm really, really dead.")
Rocketship X-M ("How do we stand on fuel now?" // "I'm for it.")
The Day the Earth Froze ("Forge...a SAMPO!!")
Teenagers from Outerspace ("Yes, but what about TORTCHA!!!")


Also, you need to try and find the following shorts:

Mr. B Natural (in front of War of the Colossal Beast)
Design for Dreaming (in front of 12 to the Moon).

[Ivan Drago]

Eegah! is another one of my favorites.

"Oh no, this guy went to the Torgo School of Fondling."

But yeah, the Santa Claus Conquers The Martians episode is my Christmas tradition.

Boldar: "All this trouble for a fat little man in a red suit!"
Servo: "Truman Capote?"

[Winston*]

Okay I'm half an hour into Space Mutiny. Um, this isn't funny at all. I will stop watching now.

[Spun Lepton]

Okay I'm half an hour into Space Mutiny. Um, this isn't funny at all. I will stop watching now.

Need to neg-rep rising ... rising ... !!

[Derek]

Okay I'm half an hour into Space Mutiny. Um, this isn't funny at all. I will stop watching now.

So this has all been one big, drawn-out plan to anger KF on Christmas Eve? That's cold, but well-played, Winston*, well-played.

Hey, I went in fully expecting hilarity. What I got was an absolutely painful opening skit followed by a steady stream of lame one liners. Just watched another 10 minutes: no laughs. I guess I'll have to chalk this up as something I do not understand.

[transmogrifier]

Indeed, I've seen clips online and they don't do a thing for me at all - it actually seemed to ruin the unintentional humor of the dreadful films. The only time being snarky about a movie is acceptable is when

(a) you (and friends) are doing the heckling
(b) it is solely for your own amusement
(c) you are drunk

All three must be satisfied.

[Bosco B Thug]

Not that I think this strategy will turn people around who don't think MST3K is funny (I actually don't think that at all), but for whatever it's worth, whenever I have to introduce someone to MST3K, I make a point not to start them off with an MST3K of a really really cheesy, really kitschy/trashy, too easily mockable movie. 80s films are off-the-table, for instance. Always a B&W one. I've used before I Accuse Your Parents, The Undead, and Red Zone Cuba. The one (first) time I used a color film ('Time Travelers' or 'Time Chasers' or something?), the results were negative.

Never showed that guy any more MST3K, though, so my data is obviously incomplete.

[Winston*]

I actually ended up watching the rest of it just to see what happened in the silly movie. The dudes in the bottom corner telling bad jokes ended up being just an annoying distraction.

[Kurosawa Fan]

God I hate you.

[Boner M]

I hate this show as well. In fact, I've never met an Antipodean who's liked it (it was never screened on TV here, nor has it been released on DVD). I guess it's an American thing? Having people make fun of shitty movies for you is like the motorized ice cream cone.

http://www.blavish.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/06/Hog%20Wild%20Motorized%20Ice%2 0Cream%20Cone.jpg

Is this acceptable?

[Mara]

There are no words.

[Winston*]

God I hate you.

I watched Tropic Thunder afterward and laughed a lot at that. So we're not totally out of sync on humour, KF. We can still be friends.

[Kurosawa Fan]

And you did like Chronicles as well, though that's not much to do with comedy.

I'll have to think it over.

[Spun Lepton]

Mystery Science Theater is not as funny when you're by yourself, it's a fact. In a group of people it's better, with everybody riffing. In situations like that, MST3K can not be beat.

[Ezee E]

Other then Manos, I can agree with this completely. Manos is enjoyable via MSTK 3000 no matter which way you see it.

[Ivan Drago]

Other then Manos, I can agree with this completely. Manos is enjoyable via MSTK 3000 no matter which way you see it.

Well, I don't know if this applies to your post or not, but when I watched the actual cut of Manos a couple days ago that someone graciously posted on YouTube, I could remember enough of the MST riffs because I had seen the episode enough. So I was able to survive.

"You know, every frame of this movie looks like someone's last known photograph."

Hal: "Right now! Fast, dammit, FAST!"
Joel: "Yeah, here I go. Vroom."

Hal: "You know, Alexander Graham Bell? Telephone?"
Crow (as Torgo): "Dont...patronize me...sir."

[bac0n]

I got one word for you guys: Mitchell.

[Dead & Messed Up]

I maintain that Space Mutiny easily matches some of the best comedies ever made. Its laughs are as fast and furious as ZAZ and the Marx Brothers at their peak.

"Keyboards on the walls? It must be the FUTURE!"

"Sir, I think it's great that you're giving that dead girl a second chance."

[Spun Lepton]

I got one word for you guys: Mitchell.

Mitchell!!

[Wryan]

Sheesh.

[Spun Lepton]

"Ow, I fell on my 8-sided die!"

Name that episode. :)

[Dead & Messed Up]

"Ow, I fell on my 8-sided die!"

Cave Dwellers, when the guy gets tossed in the (growling) snake pit.

[Ivan Drago]

"Keyboards on the walls? It must be the FUTURE!"

"Sir, I think it's great that you're giving that dead girl a second chance."

"Okay, look alive everyone--ooh, sorry, Susan."

"Hold on to your hats, we'll be reaching speeds of...three!"

"It sounds like Kitaro fell asleep on his keyboard."

"Wow! I'm on the edge of my seat! I should probably scooch back more."

And my personal favorite:

"In the future, geese will be rocket powered!"

[Dead & Messed Up]

I finished Monster a Go Go. Honestly, that movie is just as bad as Plan 9 and Manos. Atrocious. There were a couple of good jokes, but I could tell they were struggling.

[Spun Lepton]

Have you seen Red Zone Cuba?

[Mysterious Dude]

At least Manos and Plan 9 have some memorable characters and dialogue. Monster a Go-Go, as I recall, had almost nothing going for it.

[Ivan Drago]

I didn't really care for that episode...for the lack of good jokes. But that's understandable considering what they were watching.

I do remember the part where it's dead silence and Joel opens his "medicine".

[Thirdmango]

I have this really good friend who loves MST3K. Often when we hang out he wants to keep educating me on the amazingness of this show, and I allow it. I do want to watch more but I think I'm only up to 5 overall. Let's see if I can remember the ones I've seen.

MST3K The Movie
Manos
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Touch of Satan
The Undead (Which I watched last week)

Then I've also seen one of the shorts but I can't for the life of me remember which one.

[MadMan]

I've lost track of how many MSTK episodes I've seen. The most recent ones being a rewatch of Manos: The Hands of Fate since I own their covering of that godawful movie on DVD and Space Mutiny. Both classics in terms of MSTK commentary, both among the worst movies I have ever seen (Manos actually holds the official title).

[Mara]

Space Mutiny is my all time favorite. Seriously.

[D_Davis]

Have you seen Red Zone Cuba?

Oh god. That is the worst. They can't even make it fun.

[Dead & Messed Up]

Space Mutiny is my all time favorite. Seriously.

For me, it's a constant tie between this and Pod People.

"You know what playing is, Trumpy?"
"Yes, it's where I break you in half."

[Watashi]

"Trumpy, you can do magic!"
"It's called evil, kid"

[Fezzik]

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians


"I want those kids dead! I want Santa's house burned to the ground!"

"Destroy them Torg, Crush them!" "You. Were. Adopted."

"Oh, Droppo!"

"Gentlemen, we can't all be the Honey Nut Cheerios honeybee."

"Pills for dinner? Who are we, Judy Garland?"

I love this one, obviously. It's become a holiday staple. My other faves are "Hercules and the Captive Women," "Agent Double 007," "Eegah" and..well, there's too many.

Of course, the shorts were also classic, especially "Mr B. Natural" and "Here Comes the Circus."

[MadMan]

I started watching Santa Claus Conquers the Martians in December, but I didn't finish it. I still have it on my favorites though so its only a matter of time.

[Raiders]

I actually discovered Jack Arnold's Space Children via MST3K. Not a good episode really because the film, for all its low-budget silliness, is actually quite lovely.

[Dead & Messed Up]

Huh. Never seen this MST. I'm a big fan of Jack Arnold, though.

And it's on Netflix Instant. Groovy.

[Thirdmango]

Just watched Prince of Space. Oh my it was so good.

[Sxottlan]

I loved this show, but I haven't seen it in ages. Need to revisit it soon.

The one with Raul Julia was strangely endearing with its Matrix-esque story and public television production value.


Space Mutiny is my all time favorite. Seriously.

I adore that one. The brick wall on a spaceship? Fantastic!

Although I never understood why they never said anything about how the visual effects were just stolen from the original BSG.

"He's going to have so much sex with your daughter!"

[Mr. Pink]

Watched I Was a Teenage Werewolf last night. The humor dies down quite a bit towards the end, but the first 45 minutes or so is hysterical.

[Dead & Messed Up]

I've recently been falling asleep to episodes. It's pleasant and soothing and funny. Nice to pass into wonderland with a smile on my face.

[D_Davis]

I do that all time time. Love napping to MST3K.

[Spun Lepton]

MITCHELL!

[D_Davis]

MITCHELL!

The last Joel episode. :(

[Dead & Messed Up]

MITCHELL!

My favorite gag from "Mitchell" is when he's standing in front of that prostitute, something adjusts in his pants and falls down the leg, and Joel lets out this horrified "WHAT?!"

Also, "Thank God they merged successfully, my heart was in my throat."

[D_Davis]

As host: Joel or Mike?

I'm a Joel guy. I love Mike's writing, but Joel's stoned-out, droopy delivery makes me laugh more.

[Dead & Messed Up]

Joel. I like his delivery, I like how he had the paternal relationship with the robots, and his affinity for cheap prop comedy revealed that he had more sympathy for the DIY nature of most of the movies they watched. His mockery came more from disappointment. Mike's delivery felt more smug to me, I wasn't as big on his put-upon frat brother relationship with the 'bots, and his era's bumpers (disregarding the sheer awful of Pearl/Bobo/Brain Guy) lacked the conceptual fun of Joel's.

Disregarding host qualities, can't deny that some of the Mike episodes are lightning-paced zingfests that outpace the best of Joel's era. "Werewolf" and "Space Mutiny" are two that come immediately to mind.

[Mara]

Mike, but really I'm okay with both.

[Spun Lepton]

I give only the slightest edge to Mike, partially because I share a name with him, and partially because he did many more shows than Joel. The cast member whose absense I most felt was Trace Beaulieu's, but even so, the show remained funny until the end.

[Skitch]

Mike, but really I'm okay with both.

Ditto.

[Neclord]

I do like Joel as a host more for similar reasons as Damu, but for quality of riffing I can take either era. Well, aside from maybe seasons 1 and the KTMA episodes.

[Bosco B Thug]

The Mike era has the more sturdy, robust riffing, but what I'm most sure of is that Joel's segment skits are sooo superior.

[Spun Lepton]

After this thread picked up again, I went to Netflix to see if any episodes were available.

Aside from the movie ... they're all gone!! (*sadface*)

[D_Davis]

Wow - that's super lame.

[D_Davis]

My biggest fears with streaming - that things will become so fragmented with different services because all of the providers want their own little piece of the pie - are quickly becoming a reality.

Once again, big media is proving to be very anti-consumer.

They need to pick a single provider, and have everything available in one place. I'm not about to subscribe to numerous services to get stuff. I'll just go without. Fortunately for me, it's just entertainment, and not worth it the time, money, and effort to keep track of what's available through each service.

[MadMan]

After this thread picked up again, I went to Netflix to see if any episodes were available.

Aside from the movie ... they're all gone!! (*sadface*)Yeah they're all DVD only. TV on DVD is why I went back to getting DVD in the mail in addition to streaming. Still its crappy anyways.

[Dead & Messed Up]

I'm not a hardcore stickler for picture quality, so I'm happy to use my Wii's Youtube channel to watch pirated versions.

MST3K's a special case, anyway, since it's changed distribution companies so often, and since the licensing can be a crapshoot.

Keep circulating the tapes.

[Dead & Messed Up]

Some of them are back now.

[Neclord]

So how do you go about captioning episodes, Damu? Put the movie dialogue above the riffing? Below? Color coded? Inquiring minds want to know.

[Dead & Messed Up]

So how do you go about captioning episodes, Damu? Put the movie dialogue above the riffing? Below? Color coded? Inquiring minds want to know.

Put it all at the bottom, center-aligned, hyphens to denote when more than one person is talking, but otherwise no distinguishing between the film and the "riffers." It's not a great way, but there's no good way to caption the density of what's happening.


- Gentlemen, it seems
we are not all in agreement.
- I disagree.

[Dead & Messed Up]

UGH.

Nobody at work really likes this show.

[Spun Lepton]

Get out while you still can.

[D_Davis]

The two quickest pop-culture ways I know I'll get along with someone is if they like MSTK and Dark Place.

I'm not saying that I won't like someone if they don't like those shows, but the chances are greater that we will have more in common if they do.

[Dead & Messed Up]

Crimson, copper-smelling blood.

[D_Davis]

His blood.

[Watashi]

Remember when Boner and Winston expressed their hate of this show?

Bad times.

[Winston*]

I stand by it. Also, holy shit, I created this thread nearly 5 years ago.

[Spun Lepton]

I stand by it.

BURN HIM.

[Winston*]

It's the scriptedness that turns me off. I think if it was just funny people live riffing over a movie I could enjoy it.

[Neclord]

The original local Minnesota "season 0" episodes were mostly live riffed, and they aren't very good.

[Dead & Messed Up]

Yeah, they're pretty awful. Scripting was better for the show.

But I would agree that jokes that seem more reactionary and less contrived play a lot better.

[Mara]

Personally, I love it when they have a running gag that builds to something.

I.E., Sherry's Birthday Party in Space Mutiny.

[Spun Lepton]

The original local Minnesota "season 0" episodes were mostly live riffed, and they aren't very good.

IN RETROSPECT. When it first appeared there was nothing like it, and it was awesome. Channel 23 KTMA REPREZENT! But, yeah, I'm no longer able to enjoy those early "Seasion 0" eps. They also re-did a bunch for Comedy Central.

[Neclord]

Noted. I imagine it had to be similarly awesome to when I first discovered the show, and the novelty of the format itself was mindblowing.

[Neclord]

I've been watching a lot of episodes recently because it is a show that brings me joy, and I have to say there's a quality to old '50s B-movies that's really absent in cheap bad movies these days. I guess it's because they had the tools of the studio system propping them up in those days, but movies like Daddy-O or It Conquered the World have that sort of ratta tatta tat delivery of dialogue and somehow fully orchestrated scores that taken all together are kind of enjoyable in their own right. The low hanging fruit they make these days just isn't the same. Where's the joy to be had in making fun of an Asylum feature?

[MadMan]

I'm watching one of the MSTK 4 pack of episodes that they had at my local public library. The Magic Sword doesn't suck enough to be a truly funny episode, but I did love Alien From LA in terms of laughs (my God that film is beyond awful). Now I'm watching Danger: Death Ray and its really bad film that is resulting in some great jokes and one-liners from the trio. I haven't seen The Mole People episode in years but I'm looking forward to it.

PS: I agree with Nec but only in terms of the older movies at least being truly god awful. I can't even fully hate on Twilight when I know its probably a bunch of boring mediocre films that tailor to teens. I watched the Transformers series and even I noticed that the 2nd one although being bad the worst of Micheal Bay still isn't even remotely as shitty as say, Manos: The Hands of Fate or The Skydivers.

[Neclord]

Oh hey, in fun throwback news, Joel will be hosting a Turkey Day Marathon on the Shout! Factory website this Thanksgiving.

[Mr. Pink]

. . .but I did love Alien From LA in terms of laughs (my God that film is beyond awful).


A buddy of mine likes bad movies, but doesn't like MST3K for some reason. It's kind of annoying, 'cause he keeps lending me stuff and I have to sift through the shit to find something worth seeing. He lent me a double-feature with Alien From LA but now that I know it's a MST3K movie, I'd rather just watch that instead.

He recently got a copy of Hobgoblins, too. I told him to watch the MST3K version, but I don't think he will. It's really kind of depressing.

[MadMan]

Half the time MSTK enables me to make it through really bad movies. Although one movie I quit on about 20 minutes in was a supposedly great one.

[Spun Lepton]

Half the time MSTK enables me to make it through really bad movies. Although one movie I quit on about 20 minutes in was a supposedly great one.

Which? If it was Manos: Hands of Fate, hang your head in shame, MadMan. IN SHAME.

[MadMan]

Manos sucks haha. But I have seen that movie without MSTK. I own that episode on DVD. No I um quit on Man With A Movie Camera. I got bored. *Runs*

[Dead & Messed Up]

If it was "Monster a-Go-Go," I'd understand. That's one episode where they completely fail to enliven the feature (it's not their fault in that case). At least Manos has a kind of demented imagination, with the Master and Torgo and the bride fight and the hints of eldritch lore.

[Spun Lepton]

I stand by my repeated statement that Red Zone Cuba is the worst thing they ever mocked. It was so bad, they couldn't even make it funny. It's so godawful boring.

[Dead & Messed Up]

I stand by my repeated statement that Red Zone Cuba is the worst thing they ever mocked. It was so bad, they couldn't even make it funny. It's so godawful boring.

I haven't seen that one because of statements like this.

[D_Davis]

I stand by my repeated statement that Red Zone Cuba is the worst thing they ever mocked. It was so bad, they couldn't even make it funny. It's so godawful boring.

Easily the worst. They couldn't even say anything funny about it because it's so bad.

[Skitch]

Manos was so bad I struggled even getting through the MSTy version. RZC is horrendous...very boring.

[Neclord]

♪Night train to Mundo Fi-ne...♪

[Spun Lepton]

In case any of you are feeling particularly masochistic ... here's the Red Zone Cuba episode!! Good luck.

You'll need it.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzwVDkLgrts

[Spun Lepton]

Yay! My favorite episode is also available! I should start downloading these ...

Attack of the the Eye Creatures

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfnMyJYEGCg

[D_Davis]

In RZC, I don't thing the actors were ever (maybe rarely) in the same room together for their dialog scenes. At least that's how I remember it.

[MadMan]

I've made it all the way through Manos minus the MSTK commentary twice. I thought my brain was going to melt but I survived.

Right now I'm on The Mole People. I put Gamera and The Final Sacrifice on my Instant Viewing queue. And yes I'll be checking YouTube as well for any and all episodes. I've got 10 years worth to catch up on, although I did view the series finale. Too bad I watched it before I had seen any Bava movies so I didn't really get that it was actually supposed to be a spoof of spy movies.

[Skitch]

Mole People is wonderful. The black-and-white sci-fi's are my favorites.

[Dead & Messed Up]

For the first time in years, MST3K Turkey Day is happening online right now on Youtube, with episodes selected by Hodgson.

Right now it's "I Accuse My Parents." I don't know what the rest of the line-up is, but it's sure to be great.

Mole People was really funny. I had seen it years ago on SyFy so it was nice to rewatch it again. John Agar might be the worst actor of all time. I wish I had turned in for the marathon.

I feel like if there's ever going to be any chance at a revival show or any sort of new installments, it's going to be soon, what with the 25th anniversery, Turkey Day 2013(Servo and Crow cameo!), Joel's favorable statements towards doing MST3k online and also guesting on Rifftrax... the spirit is in the air.

Turkey Day 2013(Servo and Crow cameo!)

Whoa, when did this happen?

Whoa, when did this happen?

The very end of the last segment. Granted, it was just the puppets, no lines, but since Jim Mallon's traditionally been very conservative with letting them be used anywhere, it's pretty cool.

Oh snap, I forgot about the Arrested Development cameo! Trace actually voiced Crow in that one.

The bots have been stopping by, but it's a little awkward, 'cause Trace and Josh recorded voice-overs and someone else is puppeteering. (Huh?)
