Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie

It’s so funny that the MST3K movie is just an episode of the show with slightly higher production values where they watch a movie with slightly more expensive rights. I’m a Mike guy so I dug it.

As a teen, I was delighted when this movie came out — mostly because my local cable didn’t carry Comedy Central at the time, which meant I could only watch MST3K on vacations or when I visited relatives (which I did at length, which my loved ones were not always pleased…

"Self-cleaning Mutant... Leaves only the fresh scent of pine!" This is one of my favorites of all time. It's also a great intro to MST3K for anyone who hasn't seen it! I highly recommend.
