Hey everyone, I'm attempting to review the whole show (Not KTMA) for many reasons, chief among them a desire to have plenty of writing samples for work, and another a great way to use the free time i have when my friends travel for acting work to expand my craft as a writer, and hopefully, ways to convey humor.
So, without any further cliched openings............
The Crawling Eye
I recently moved to Los Angeles, and after spending the past half year talking to producers/actors/writers/people actually working out here, I've learned something very sad: It's incredibly hard to get a television show made. It seems like in meetings they try to find every reason NOT to make a show or a movie, and you have to prove them wrong. So the fact that MST was made is nothing short of amazing. I mean, it's a cult idea from the very start: Commenting on bad movies with skits intermittently dispersed throughout, with the barest of storylines, and with a "meh, when the jokes work" kind of storyline? And this is coming from a guy who loves the show.
But to it's credit, sparse jokes aside, the first episode perfectly captures the feel of all those late-night creature feature shows that Joel and co. talked about as influences for the show. The show has it's ups and downs, but it begins in a good way. The film itself is cheesy in all the right ways, from the odd character types that exist with no real context (the climbers that attempt jokes) to the monsters themselves (which I actually think are kind of cool, despite the fact that their attacks are hilarious, especially the first one at the inn). The plot holes are huge, I mean, sure the sister is a psychic but it doesn't really factor in the story. Sure the Eyes want her dead, but the movie never gives an actual reason.
But thankfully someone on that film crew knows enough to realize, hey, if we keep the movie moving fast enough, no one will care about these obvious story deficiencies. And it's true, I note them only because they exist, not because they bother me.
Even though it stopped about four or five episodes in, I'm glad the first episode started off with the Mads. I mean, the experiment exists because of them, so it makes sense that they'd be the ones to kick things off. It establishes the tone wonderfully, with their first comments to Joel being one of condescension and attempted degredation, and I love that he doesn't even acknowledge it. What i love most about this show, and life in general, is the little details that makes things resonate, and when Joel plays on the bagpipes, Crow's little dance to the song is one of those things that would have endeared me to the show immediately, had that been the first episode I watched.
Keep in mind they had yet to find a groove for the riffing, considering that they were still creating the show and fleshing out the premise and ways for the stories/skits/jokes could go, and keeping that in mind, the riffing is really good. Sure, there's a lot of spaces where I didn't laugh, and even the highest laugh was a glorified chuckle for me, but what was remarkable is that even though they didn't tap into the vibe of the film, they knew there was a vibe to tap into. You could tell with the way they told the jokes that the ones they knew worked, and the ones that didn't. That unsteadiness would soon fade, but the honesty of what they did transferred so well it didn't matter. So overall, an excellent beginning to the show, and as long as you're not looking for a hilarious attack at a movie, but rather enjoying a good feeling of comedic atmosphere, The Crawling Eye makes its mark rather well.

Feel free to comment on what worked, what didn't, this is all a work in progress, since i'm doing the whole show, i've gotta make sure the writing doesn't suck, or be too pretentious.
And i decided i'm not rating the episodes, because it's so true that everyone's favorite is someone's least favorite, and vice versa. So ranking is therefore irrelevant in my eyes, and the only thing that matters is what you enjoyed or what you didn't.

I enjoyed the review. I agree about the ratings because not only do the ratings vary from person to person, they can vary from viewing to viewing. I watched Hamlet a few months ago and when I concentrated on the riffing and ignored the movie, I found myself laughing quite bit. It'll never be a favorite but I don't hate it anymore.
Pointing out the strenghts and weaknesses of both the movies and the riffing is fun.
I also agree that MST3k on the air was a near miracle. It only worked because CC needed original material and needed to fill up a lot of airtime cheap. They also could use a cult hit because cult shows draw rabid fans and for channel that's on less than half of the TV's in america, rabid fans write letters.

I agree with mylungswereaching about ratings and about Hamlet. lol
I liked the review. The format is easy to understand and to read as well as easy to follow. This format works for me.

Happy Turkey Day, and for episode one of my TD marathon:
The Robot Vs The Aztec Mummy
Episode was the "Cheesy" sort of movie, and with this episode we're introduced to the bad kinds of bad movie: The ones where you can tell that the effort was the absolute bare minimum. I learned that this is the third in the series of Aztec Mummy movies, and 45 minutes of the 65 minute running time is basically recapping what happened in the first two. It gave me the same feeling as when a tv show does a clip show: I'm irritated, I feel tired, and sharply mad at the film at the same time.
One thing I do really like about the episode is the great comic moments that don't really make sense. Joel's expression while he inflates his airbag helmet is funny, and since he doesn't start talking until he introduces his invention, it makes it all seem that much more random, like Joel could be insane. Another random but funny touch is when Enoch, the demon dog leader, says "Arf Arf." he says it so perfunctorily, and in an almost bored way, like he's saying, "Yeah, i'm a talking dog, it's hilarious, now let's start talking." What makes it random is that he says it unprovoked, at the end of a sentence where you think the scene is just going to continue and then he says it which caused me to do a double take. For some reason, it's moments like those that just really tickle my funny bone.
Commando Cody, ugh. Even duller the second time around, but what i love about these shorts is the sort of charming naivete and ignorance of basic scientific laws that the producers (probably correctly) feel the audience won't care about. And though the comments aren't really funny, they did something I didn't mind at all: most of what Joel and the Bots talked about was how improbable and stupid this whole concept was. The observational style made it feel like they were attacking it in a very underrated way. Don't make fun of it, but show how stupid it is. That being said, I did like the trademark riff "I'd hate to shoot a butt like that!" It's kind of the "Sayyyy........" of the early years.
The movie makes me yawn, doze and at times i almost forgot a movie was showing. I hated the Bat, he was on the board of whatever-doctors, and begs for help when he's in trouble, and yet pleasures in other people's fear and misery. Reminds me of the spoiled kind of bully I dealt with in elementary school. And considering 95% of the film is talk and no action, I'm strongly hoping that the filmmakers did make money off of this crap-stain, because if not, they had successfully created a work that somehow wastes the time of everything involved in it. That's a special kind of bad movie. Another detail I liked was the attempt of comedy by the Jerry Lewis-ish character. I mean, it was supposed to be funny that he was scared of being in a graveyard? A graveyard proven to hold thugs, evil undead creatures and a man who could hypnotize you into doing his bidding? Dang right he'd be scared, makes sense to me.
I don't regret watching this, but that's like saying, "I'm no longer angry about being robbed." You accept it, you get over it, but you'll never think of it in a positive light.

Welcome back, you're just in time.........
The Mad Monster
Doing Aztec Mummy and Mad Monster right after the other is quite an awful experience, and I can't imagine watching those nine or so times in the course of a week. And by can't, I mean I don't want to. Both are so plodding, lazy, ugly, and just plain eaters of time, that it's hard to believe that one could be nice enough to riff. I would just want to say, DIE, MOVIE, DIE!!!!! and at the end of 90 minutes, I think that'd get a tad repetitive, not to mention bad on the voice.
The next Commando Cody, desperation already begins to set in. I admit this first deus ex machina "Cody jumping out of the way just in time" didn't bother me so much. I could reasonably see how he could have done that. Though the riffing kinda went 'plooey,' the show had it's first multi-layered riff that i noticed: when Joel and the Bots saw the lava, they had a few comments on how chocolatey it looked, and Crow said: Big Rock Candy Mountain. Amongst all the same same same same scenery/actors/"action," it was nice to hear a riff that covers three areas at the same time and hints at the cleverness that would soon dominate the show: comments on the serial itself, the previous jokes that Joel and Servo said, and a song title. Aah, comedy is improving, just not rapidly, yet.
Then the movie came. Again I had to force myself to watch. The sound is just terrible, all I really heard was the low-fidelity white noise of the production, and amongst all that, I may have heard some words about a wolfman or something, I can't be sure. But there is one riff that reminds me why comedy is tops in my book: When a villageman says, in defense of there being a wolfman, he says it ain't imagination, Crow retorts: It's a lifestyle. And with that line, he singlehandedly explained racism and hatred in a way that reflects my thoughts on it. And it's moments like that, that make me willing to overlook the fact that I otherwise didn't laugh at all, really, during this experiment.

Thus ending my rather short Turkey Day marathon..............
Women of The Prehistoric Planet
Oh, thank god, no Commando Cody this time. Two in a row was too much, i wonder how i'm going to get through Robot Monster and Project Moonbase. Well, I'll jump off that bridge into the volcano when I get to it.
Yeah, this is clearly a later season one episode moved up into the rotation, and I couldn't be more thankful for it. I'm glad for the change of pace, not that it was a good movie, far from it. It's rather boring, cliched, padded, like a really awful Star Trek episode, but at least it's colorful, and the set is decently enough designed that it is acceptable escape fare. I was with Joel and the Bots when they told the people to shut up when the exposition got to be too much. I would've excused it if it actually added up to something, but big surprise, it didn't.
The biggest problem I have with this movie is the lack of editing. There was too much of one storyline at a time, a good trick is to cut to another part of the story while that storyline still has momentum, and it keeps the interest up. Whenever they cut to the Linda/Tang story, it always felt like they lasted about two minutes too long on the spaceship crew. And two minutes with this movie feels like a good catnap.
This episode has definitely given me my favorite Dr. Erhardt moment so far, Clay and Lar's Flesh Barn. His gentle guitar playing reminds me of those early morning ads in the midwest, and his lyrics remind me of Smothers brothers albums, and whenever he sings "Cause we don't cook it," the delivery just blows my mind that he was only 18. It was so well done, and calmly evil, that it begins to make me wonder what it would've been like to see his character develop. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
The riffing was approaching what they'd be doing for the rest of the show, speed wise. They had the quips to match the situation, but as far as laughs go, it was too up and down for me to really recommend to people who like to laugh. But if you love cheap little space flicks that remind you of not only another world, but another state of mind (pre-space travel naivete), this episode definitely fills that void. Oh, and the episode that kick starts "Hi-Keeba!" is definitely worth watching at least once. The guy who plays the engineer/comic relief really reminds me of all the warm up comics I've seen at television studios here in LA. Funny to laugh at, but in all the wrong ways.

Instead of Turkey Day, I guess it's Turkey weekend.........
The Corpse Vanishes
Though the Chiro Gyro was done originally on the pilot, I like this time better because of Joel's expression while he's using it. It's so rare to see him in anything other than deadpan, it makes his emotional changes funnier and more interesting than a lot of performers. The flame flower, meh. But something I really like about this and another episode previous, was Joel taking the route we take to the theater. For some reason it makes it feel more fun to make the journey.
The next Commando Cody. I was dreading this with a vengeance, and it didn't start well when Cody and his companion made the first "Oh, Come ON!!!" exit at the start of this segment. I mean, they ran a little further into another opening in the cave? I mean, wouldn't lava have gone into that part of the cave first? There is nothing even beginning to approach believability with this one, and sadly, this is still better than some of the exits that would be shown later.
But, the energetic riffing helped me to get over this. And when Joel punched the Moon Man in the crotch, well, it just renewed my faith. The continued jabs at the roles of men and women in this short and the feature still work, because it hasn't stopped being ridiculous.
Energy in the theater overall has increased. They seem to be more assured in their jokes, which make the stupider jokes funnier. Like when Bela appears in the reporters room through the walk-in closet (ha-ha-ha, let's move on) Servo says, "This is much better than the previous way through the sock drawer." Stupid or not, it cracked me up.
And with this episode, they have their first goofy character that they riffed on with great success. And no, I don't mean Bela. I mean Stanley, the hunchback sleep-groper. They rip into him with glee, and I laughed a lot at what they had to say. Also, I don't know if it was because I felt the jokes were better, or the characters were actually defined without being obnoxious (well, for the most part), but I paid a lot more attention to this film than the last couple. To this film's credit, it starts with the action right away, as soon as the credits fade, a bride faints and Bela and Co. take the body.
They provide pretty strong characterizations, too. Not particularly good characterizations, but you definitely know who is who. I mean, the wife is a bitch. No way getting around that. The reporter is the plucky, workaholic eager to make her reputation. That is, until she met the first guy in the movie not in the office and married him, but hey, it's the forties. What else is there for a female to do?!? You have the guy who works as the comic relief at the newspaper, but the jokes and screen time are so short, it's almost an afterthought to have jokes in the movie. Meh, it was better off.
One thing I like about this episode are the digs at the commercials, two times during the show they said something along the lines of "speaking of selling out...." which was a nice little reminder of the Hitchcock TV show when he used to gently mock his sponsors.
I feel that this is really the first time that Joel and the Bots "Won," so to speak. I read somewhere that during the early years, the show was clear-cut in the fact that either Joel or the Mads won. Though I enjoyed earlier episodes, this is the first time that the riffing managed to cut through the badness of the movie and be more memorable.

Next in our (my) Turkey Weekend marathon........
The Crawling Hand
Hey, the buttons are finally here! I admit I was happy to see buttons on the table when Joel introduced the show. I also like the "treat for hitting the right button" gag. But my joy was not to last, as the episode brought much sadness and reminded me that the show was still a work in progress.
After such joyous goofiness in "The Corpse Vanishes," I felt that this week would've been even better, right? Wrong! Host segments are bland, riffing was bland and bordered on just plain awful, and the movie really let me down on the cheese factor.
I hate it when humor doesn't transfer, like one night you're with your friends and you make one joke and it brings the house down, but you try to recreate it a couple days later and no one finds it funny? That's how I feel about the "Tell them I'm smoking" gag in this episode. I understand how it may have seemed funny in the writing room, but on screen it was lame at the beginning, but by the end, I almost wanted to club the crew for refusing to let a bad joke die. Irrational, yes, but a bad joke to me is just so sad I don't even want to acknowledge its existence. Except for critical purposes, of course.
Anywho, the rest of the episode is just plain forgettable. The movie thankfully isn't Aztec Mummy painful, but it doesn't do nearly as much with it's hilariously bad premise as I had hoped. I had to read other reviews of the movie to learn why the hand was a killer. I don't remember anyone talking about an alien parasite. All i remember was Peter Breck yelling, a bunch of black eye makeup, and an occasional scream by Paul's girlfriend. Oh, the malt shop owner had a few moments of campy delight, but he wasn't in the movie nearly enough.
Though I did like the early 60s innocence vibe of the movie, which makes the harsh events of the murders less painful in the overall context of the movie. Seeing the worlds depicted in movies like this really make me wonder what the US was like forty years ago. I mean, allowed racism and misogyny aside, I do often think with glee back when really good songs were allowed on the radio, rather than marketed stars with only intent to increase album sales and whore out franchise related products? Ahh, the days before internet. I kinda miss 'em.
The episode is far from the worst I've seen, but I can barely remember any jokes, much less jokes I liked. The movie just kinda passed through me, and flushed down the toiled that was the rest of my evening.

We now come to the first renowned bad movie.........
Robot Monster
I know the ending is a huge cheat, but when I think about it, It almost makes me wish that all kids would be allowed to be this imaginative. I hope most of those kids won't wish for the death and destruction of all they hold dear, but you can't have everything. I know that in many corners that this film is being defended as a surrealistic masterpiece, but that's just a cover up for not having a continuity guy and constantly whispering to yourself, "This'll work, This'll Work."
With that in mind, I don't really dislike the film, it's just far too "WHAAA?" to be boring, but not believable in it's own reality to be taken seriously. I bet the actor who played Ro-Man was glad that his face was never seen or his voice never heard. From what i've read on the film, he wasn't too proud to be a part of this.
Riffing was fine, but unnecessary. I was spending the whole time through the film thinking, "How am I actually seeing this?" to think that it further needed to be made fun of, so just based on that factor, this movie is worth seeing. The episode I can take or leave.
The show disappointed me this time, not because of the riffing on the main feature, but the treatment of it's double-stuffed short Commando Cody. Don't get me wrong, I'm not disappointed in the riffing or the repetition, I mean at this point how can you not make the same jokes? But in the host segment that followed, when they were discussing the escape from the beginning of part five, I was hoping for treatment along the lines of Catching Ross. But it ended up boiling down to just blowing the bots heads up. Where is the frustration that was in the theater?!?!
What was neat that connected the shorts and the movie is the fact that both don't take place in reality. But Robot Monster never pretended to adhere to the laws of reality. Commando Cody, from it's boring boring jargon to the escalating stupidity of the fistfights, clearly wants to have it's cake and eat it too. Well too bad for you Cody, I wish the MST guys never did your serial so you could have faded into obscurity forever. But overall I'd recommend just watching the movie. Joel and the bots don't detract, but don't really add much to the experience, at least for me.
If you just enjoy watching movies to escape into a different world, no doubt that Robot Monster does it's job. Otherwise, you'd best look away.

Puns Galore and the film is a bore.............
The Slime People
A lot of people on the board say that MST is a great show to fall asleep to, and for me, this is one of 'em. I mean, I don't know if it's all the fog in the movie or the fact that my copy has a ton of white noise, but it was hard not to nod off in this film. It just had that "up too late and it was fun, but now I'm getting tired" kind of feel, and unfortunately the riffing did little to boost my spirit.
Another Commando Cody. Excuse me for a moment.................... <takes a gun, shoots a hole in a pillow>
Aaaah, there we go, I'm back. Anyway, as boring and as bland as ever, and the guys are running out of places to go, and to be fair, they hadn't yet really figured out where they CAN go with the jokes yet. At least, 100%. But that still doesn't detract from the glaring boredom and irritation this next installment gave me. On the bright side, the host segment after it was a bit more of what I was looking for last week. I would have preferred a little more "STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!!!" vibe, but that's not how Joel rolls, most of the time. Nonetheless, calling it out on it's shoddy writing and lazy/uncaring repetition made up for it.
So, this film. I can see why Mike wrote in the ACEG how he wished he could have done it again in a later season. The film is perfect in concept: Hero that knows what doesn't work, and does that over and over again, girl who likes hero for no real reason, pointless exposition guy, and enough film defects that render the plot pointless anyway.
I actually thought the Slime People looked kinda cool, but the entrance would have been more menacing if it wasn't repeated verbatim each time they emerged, and the only reason they lost is due to a very odd skin condition that can fight off bullets, and yet getting poked'll kill em! Ha ha ha, sorry, film world, only in RPGs is that allowed.
One thing I found promising about the film was when the main characters were watching the news in the viewing room and that guy attacked them, not believing there were survivors. That would have been really cool, if the film had expanded on that............or given it any contextual meaning, but alas.......<fart noise>.
No recommendation from me this time. I like to find good in everything, but there isn't enough worthwhile stuff here for me to say, "Yeah, see it!" As usual with all bad movies, watch at your own risk.

The first time a hateful movie is given all the hate right back to it......
Project Moonbase
I'm a romantic at heart. I want nothing more than to be with a woman who loves me for who I am, and the longer I live the more I realize that it's actually possible. What makes it problematic is that women, in so many ways, are so much stronger than men that we can't contemplate it. Most guys can't seem to be able to be humble and accept that we are equal, just in different ways. That opinion used to be considered normal and right, and it was that mindset that created Project Moonbase.
Kevin was right to apologize on behalf of the male population for this movie in the ACEG. But since the scene with Gen. Moore makes me cringe every time I see it, I want to apologize again. I'm sorry that this mindset was ever allowed. But for the first time in MST3k history, the horrible movie brought out the best in the riffing crew. They lashed right back at the movie in all the varied ways we know they can: Jokes, obscure references, being facetious, and simply pointing out the ridiculousness of the characters.
The whole movie seems to exist as a reason to berate women and fulfill all male fantasies. Well, i guess if you're an alpha male astronaut jackass, it may satisfy, but not for people who know it's okay to be outranked by people who are more qualified. And if that person is a woman, guess what? It's not humiliating.
However, the woman journalist was. I don't like going for the easy jokes, but big is a perfect word to describe everything about her, and her performance. I like how Joel and co. take nearly everything in stride, and attack on a more subtle level. The cue cards for Gen. Moore is my first "perfect" moment on the show. It simultaneously calls him a jackass and the movie stupid. Brilliant!
I used MST as a topic when I wrote a paper on how good media can have a positive impact on the people who watch it, and quoting an early Joel interview, this is the also the first time the show felt "about freedom, in its own goofy way." The whole episode felt like they had finally figured out how to rise above the bad movies and they could create their own comedic style without being too obtrusive to the movie itself. The Commando Cody shorts flew by this time, and their riffing had a newfound life and energy.
This episode is a hallmark reason why I love this show and recommend it to anyone, even if for some reason they think season one sucks (like I used to).

<Sigh> If only this was the only time Joel and the bots were to visit an 80s movie detailing the aftermath of the apocalypse.........
Robot Holocaust
I hate to admit it, but i think the simple fact that it's in color makes it a little easier to take than some of the other crappy films in season one. Don't get me wrong, this film is just plain..............wrong. Not in a disgusting way, but just plain everything filming wise. From the clearly not-apocalyptic setting of the outside, to the actors being hired because of their assets (and the acting stinks too), Robot Holocaust has got everything a bad movie fan would want.
Even though it makes no sense, I love all the different creatures that the main characters are forced to fight throughout. It really adds to the feeling that it was written by a D&D playing, porn addict. The simplistic video-game feel of the movie admittedly sits well with the 5-year old in me that used to play the NES and wonder why people didn't get it.
Commando Cody is gone forever. I'd weep in joy, but to be honest, I barely remember the installment. It was like it barely started when it was interrupted by that still of the Mads. It was kinda neat to see Joel explore and see if he could fix the problem, gave you more of an idea about the space they were in.
The host segments were a little blah, no real impressions, but I'd like to comment on the simplicity of the Satellite of Love set. Nowhere as intricate as it would become, but it makes sense, to fit the low budget, and that way it would be easy to tear down if the show didn't make it past the first season.
Actually, now that i think of it, there is one segment I noted. The one where they enacted the beginning of the movie, but it never really took off. That is part of a type of skit that would continue throughout the show, and to be honest, I find that idea kind of odd. The characters trying to do a skit, but them giving up, I wonder why that idea was so popular in the heads of the Brains.
Oh well, a fun little experience that is good for a Friday night.

Thanks, Bix! Much appreciated. Now to our first foray into 60s wackiness...........
Moon Zero Two
A "Space western." Um, no. No, no, no, no, no. This movie could potentially fit in many categories: "Comedy," "Action," "Drama," heck, even "Space Exploration Film." But western is the last genre I'd associate this picture with. I know that there is technically a showdown, and it stars an antihero, but westerns require a certain atmosphere, and needs to be taken seriously on it's own terms.
This film lost my "serious" mood as soon as I saw the opening animated credits. I thought I was going to be watching a comedy/Red scare satire. I also have to admit, as soon as I saw the hair on all the women, I knew I was watching a movie that has no idea how to communicate it's point. Or at least has no desire to.
Not to say the movie is a total failure. If you don't look at it from a Catalina Caper in space kind of way, without the painful attempts at comedy, it's kind of alright. And any movie with technicolor is okay in my book.
I really love two host segments in this episode. My second favorite is the Zero-G spoof. It felt completely out of place when it was in the movie, and the way Joel segued into it made as much sense. It was great in execution and was just plain fun, without being prop dependent.
Now my favorite segment is in a way, opposite. The Rock Em Sock Em robots segment gives me joy in a very selfish way. I have to admit something about MST at this point, if I am to properly explain why I like it: I strongly dislike Tom Servo. Don't get me wrong, he can be very funny, but his pompous, long-winded douchebag nature doesn't appeal to me. So I was very happy to see Crow win the duel. I'll go in further detail on why i don't like Servo later in the series, but this is explanation enough to why I prefer this segment overall.
I laughed rather frequently at the quips, but darned if I remember any in particular. They go with the flow of the film so well, I find it hard to discern the difference between actual dialogue and jokes by Joel, Tom and Crow. Oh well.
Either way, a decent film with bright colors, a goofy storyline and a rare altercation between Tom and Crow where Crow wins. That's enough of a reason to say it's worth a viewing.
