Season 3, season of Japanese movies and black and white cheepies. 24 episodes long, so I’m going to have to do this quickly.
Next episode!
301-Cave Dwellers
Movie: The movie opens on a fuzzy version of “Brian’s Song” that has nothing to do with anything else. Film Ventures Int’l, shame on you.
The actual movie starts with a bunch of hairy cavemen doing their thing and a voiceover giving us some vague background on when this is taking place. The cavemen start killing each other but we soon cut away to Xanadu where a long winded old guy and his daughter discuss evil and technology and etc, etc. The old guy dishes out a few clichés on his new invention, the atomic nucleus which resembles a rear-view mirror.
The old guy then tells of Ator, sort of a Conan rip-off. The old guy goes on and on and on about Ator and his feats and the audience slowly goes to sleep. Meanwhile, Ator struts around shirtless and with big hair with his friend Thong and does many heroic things.
When Old Guy finishes his story, the evil and fey bad guy (played by Freddy Mercury) invades and Old Guy’s daughter is sent off to find Ator. She battles some bad guys, gets shot with an arrow and continues on her way. She stumbles into Ator’s abode and they fix her right up. She proves her identity and they’re on their way.
Freddy Mercury’s magician, Willie Nelson, sends out some bad guys to stop Ator and friends. This includes Ator and Thong throwing themselves around to some foley sounds. Next, they finally run into some Cave Dwellers who abduct them and eat some other random people internal organs. They prepare to eat the daughter but she’s saved by Thong. They escape and continue on. Freddy Mercury berates Willie Nelson for failing him. Ator and friends fight more people and they could’ve just put “ibid” up on the screen.
Ator and daughter talk haltingly while Thong catches a few dozen fish. Some kids from Ator’s hometown stumble onto them and so that’s where they go. Villagers offer themselves up for sacrifice when Ator arrives and tries to help fortify the village but it all blows up in his face as he, the daughter and some unimportant guy are tied to stakes. But, again, are saved only to be taken and almost sacrificed to a giant snake. The scene goes on for about 20 minutes and they ultimately get away.
They approach the castle and Ator makes his own handglider(!) and bombs and invades. Freedy Mercury beats up on the old guy just as Ator shows up and they face off for a few seconds until Thong kills Freddy. There’s some stock footage of atomic bombs and Ator rides off into the sunset.
Host Segments
Prologue: Joel and bots re-choose their names. My fav: Sugar Magnolia for Tom. Segment 1: More name changes. The Mad’s talk show is amusing. “And why’s that Frank?” Frank tries to sing “The Man in My Little Girl’s Life”. Joel invents the smoking jacket because “everyone loves tar, who doesn’t? But scientists have known for well over year that it’s bad for you”. I always get a kick out the Mads wrestling their robotic arms. Segment 2: Joel and the bots gad about like the credits. Its simple but its hilarious. Segment 3: Joel and the bots discuss extraordinary names for ordinary things. My favorite is the one for paper clips. Segment 4: The bots humor Joel on foley. Most of its accurate, the rest of its pretty funny. Segment 5: Joel and the bots show examples of why the film sucks. I agree. Pretty funny.
Riffing: Fairly good riffing, constant throughout. A few gutbusters here and there but not too many.
Favs: Joel: How much Keefe is in this movie? Tom: Miles O’Keefe
Narrator: Our world was populated by wild, cruel and ignorant men. Tom: You mean the 80’s.
(Ator kills the giant spider) Crow: He never killed a puppet that large before.
Ator: But first you must prove to us that you are the daughter of the Great One. Crow: If you can look bored and speak haltingly, you’re in.
Joel: What is this, a Heart video? Tom: Yeah, but they only film the fat one from the head up any more.
Tom: They’re kinda dumb, they’re easy to kill: The American Gladiators.
Joel: By the stubbing of my thumb, something stupid this way comes.
Overall While the riffing is top notch, the movie just drags on so much that I can’t really highly recommend. The host segments, while all good, aren’t really “classic” or too memorable. Fairly middle of the road, but in a good way. It still has a “Season 2” feel to it, but I know that the show will slowly evolve over the next few episodes into “real” Season 3. I consider these first few episodes as a prelude.
Score: B

Your reviews suck, which is why no one reads. Reviews are suppose to inform potential viewers to the quality of something. You're just giving your opinion, and unless you see the episode you can't make heads or tails about what you're talking about. Plus you fall into a trap that a lot of other writers do when doing a synopsis of an MST movie, which is ripping off riffs directly from the episode. Which A) ruins future riffs for people that haven't seen it, B) makes you look like a hack ripoff to everyone that does. Listen, this honestly isn't because I dislike you (although I do), but this is my honest opinion.

Hooray for de-constructive criticism! Thanks for the tips, Van Asshat, er...Hagar.
I forgot about this thread (for 7 months!) when a large amount of school work came up and never got back around to it. I plan to start writing more of these shortly, though there will be a few format changes:
1) A shorter synopsis of the movie. 2) I'll continue to critique the Host segments, but in a seperate section from their synopsises...synopsi? 3.) Continue with Fav Riffs, but include a new section with interesting things I noticed in the episode or notable events. 4.) Maybe explain the scoring system.
I'll continue to tweak it...expect the review for 302 by Sunday Night.

Van Hagar PM'd me reminding me not to suck, so I've had to go back and re-edit my new review specifically to meet his demands.
This next one is dedicated to you VH!
Stay tuned, it should be done by this evening.

I tried to keep it off the boards, but you wanted to bring it in public, and the admins aren't doing anything. But I'm sorry for suggesting for your reviews not to suck, I forgot what a total douche bag you are and how every post of yours is a total waste. You've been a prick ever since you joined, and I have no idea how you haven't been banned seeing as you constatly pick fights. What have you ever contributed positively to this board? Jack s**t so far.
BTW, way to be on top of things responding to a post seven months later. Nice.

Well it is my review thread, I should be able to post in it whenever I want and to freeze you out for seven months while I tend to more important matters. Here's the definition of "contribute": www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/contributeI'd say I meet at least one of those definitions, firstly by writing reviews (whether they suck or not is irrelevant, it is content). I haven't been banned because its all a part of the "vast conservative conspiracy", this is the part aimed against you instead of the Clintons. Seriously, I'm only a douche to you because you're a douche to me. Notice how out-of-the-blue you came into this thread awhile ago and told me my reviews suck? Remember that? I'd say this is your fault for keeping petty grudges and instigating fights. Not mine. I treat everyone else with the utmost respect, I know my place. That, and its funny to see you steam and shake while I remain calm. Now, I must get back to my "not-sucky" review of Gamera.

Oh you contribute, I'll give you that. Now is it positive? I say no. You've been an ass to other people on the board. "Your upmost respect" is a load of s**t. You instigate fights with others. The post above was around the time of another argument we we're having. Now, I'll admit I got feisty because I don't like you, but like I said, your reviews do really stink. I'm the only person who has posted here so far, and only one of my posts have been about your reviews, and it's overwhelmingly negative.
I really don't care if you're "calm" and I'm "steaming and shaking." Even though here at my little computer hub, I'm quite calm. Calmer than you'd beleive. Maybe a little too calm actually, but that's another story for another day. Anyway, everything I've said was about the same as your PM, you're the one who wanted to make it public.
And I'm gonna end this here. I can't beleive the modmins haven't come around yet. But I'm gonna end this one. You can reply if you want, I'm sure it'll be very theraputic, but if it's intended to get a reply out of me, it's not gonna happen. If you wanna say you "won" go right ahead. It's just the internet, I mean who cares?
Oh, and don't kid anyone, you had nothing better to do in the last seven months. ;D

Okay, the modmins have come.
VH, your comments in this thread are beyond inappropriate. As for whether DK's behavior elsewhere has been inappropriate or not, there are plenty of ways you can handle that. This is not one of them.
You've been around here long enough to know the rules about tone.
This conversation is over. Kolos, feel free to get back to the reviews.

Can do.
Next episode!
302-Gamera
Movie: Why is it that when all giant monsters wake up, they immediately attack Japan? Why not Iceland or perhaps Argentina? Well, I’m not a giant monster so I can’t answer.
In any case, a rogue warhead in the Arctic wakes up this movie’s giant monster: Gamera. Chaos ensues.
Eskimos are questioned, girls get stalked by photographers, scientists postulate, millions die and Kenny loses one turtle but gains another even bigger turtle.
Host Segments:
Prologue: Tom teaches warm-ups for the movie. Segment 1: Joel has an endless salad, Frank does a Peter Sellers bit with a birdcage. Segment 2: Tom sings a sweet love song to his turtle Tibby, Crow interrupts. Segment 3: Tom and Crow send negative vibes to Kenny. Segment 4: The bots talk to Gamera. Segment 5: Tom announces the cast. Letters. Joel gets a shock to the shammies.
Things That I Noticed: My copy has little Comedy Central interstitials with info about the show; one of them says that Nathan Fillion is a fan. Look him up.
Crow’s workout gear looks very “Flashdance”-esque.
It may be hard to see, but towards the end of Servo’s song, glitter is falling from above.
I love Gypsy’s pantsuit in Segment 4 and 5.
The simple fact that Mike, as Gamera, is wearing wife-beater while doing his laundry makes the entire sketch for me.
Near the end of the film, the bots break the fourth wall and sing the theme song. Joel pulls off Crow’s arm and hits Tom with it.
Tom really does look like a buoy.
Favorite riffs or quotes: Joel’s Carvell riffs are wonderful and scattered throughout the episode. Find ‘em, trade ‘em, collect ‘em all.
Kenny’s dad: I’ll throw it away while you’re at school. Tom: I’ll swallow it whole with beer.
Crow: Now when I visualize Kenny I wanna go up to him and give him a big snuggly-huggly. And squeeze him, and squeeze, and squeeze, and squeeze…
Tom: This is like a Klan meeting. Joel: Yeah, without the charm.
Overall The episode has a big late-Season 2 feel to it. The riffing is a bit sparse, especially when compared to the last episode, and there aren’t many guffaw moments. The best host segment is probably Segment 3, just for the bots’ unbridled hatred for Kenny. Not a great episode for beginners and definitely isn’t the best Gamera episode. It may be the Black&White but this is a hard movie to stay focused on. An average episode.
Score: C
Comments are welcome.

Trudging on…still tinkering with the format...
Next episode!
303-Pod People
Movie: Sometime in the 80’s, out in what looks like Canada a bunch of stuff happens. Well, a bunch of different stories all start and eventually sort of merge together in a B-movie stew. Here goes:
First, somewhere out in space, an asteroid-thing travels towards Earth where it crashes into foggiest damn place. I swear to God, this is the most fog-filled movie I’ve ever seen. Movies about fog don’t even have this much fog. But I digress.
Then there’s Tommy, a badly-dubbed little boy who lives with his mom and abusively drunk Uncle Buck. He wanders into the woods and finds a big-ass egg leftover from the crash. He takes it home and out pops what looks like a reject Muppet, aka Trumpy.
Somewhere else in the perma-fog, a bunch of hunters, stinky and boozed up on Rumplemints, poach eggs and other small animals. They’re all eventually killed by another, meaner reject Muppet. We’ll call him Trumpy II.
Lastly, a gratingly bad pop group records an execrable song (It stinks!) and head out on a weekend trip. There’s drama and inter-relational strife between them all, who cares? One of their group gets injured and two of the stories go on a collision course. And the movie REALLY gets moving.
The pop group and the curmudgeonly family hole up and a few people are killed here in there by Trumpy II. Tommy is entertained by Trumpy’s mad stop-motion skills. Trumpy II dies and Trumpy eventually leaves. Nothing is learned and the audience feels unsatisfied and a little sad.
Host Segments:
Prologue: Joel and the bots perform soliloquies. Segment 1: Joel invents a new chord. Public domain Karaoke. Segment 2: Idiot Control Now. Segment 3: Music From Some Guys in Space Segment 4: Crow, as Trumpy, does magic things. Segment 5: Joel sings a sad song about clowns.
Things that I noticed: -What kind of guitar is that in Segment 1? It looks kickass in an 80’s sort of way.
-The Mads singing “Ave Maria” is the first great moment of this episode.
-Where do these random FVI credit intro movies come from? Anyone have any names? They seem like bad movies, even if they are just pixilated, 2-minute movies.
-Listen to the pop song in the movie. Go on listen, I’ll wait. Joel and the bots aren’t exaggerating in the host segment. What they’re singing in the sketch sounds exactly like what’s in the movie which makes the whole thing even more bizarre.
-I must have one of those shirts Frank has on in Segment 2.
-Note to self: The perfect retort to anything is “Well you’re a jerk.”
-In Segment 3, Crow’s got a bit of sandwich on his beak.
-Why the random Sprite ad in the movie?
Favorite riffs or quotes: Dr. F: What happens when you walk into your favorite Karaoke bar and want to hear “I want to Know What Love Is” by Foreigner? Frank: People vomit?
Joel: This is the Swamp Thing versus the sweet thang.
Crow: It was a dark and stormy night; I had just taken a creative writing course…
Tom’s whole “Music From the Hearts of Space” in both the theater AND the host segment make up about 25% of the laughs in this episode for me.
All three: Huzzah!
Tom: Young Republicans, they’re so hip!
Crow: It’s a Casio forest. Joel: They parked next to a data stream.
Hunter: Looks like a cross between a pig and a bear. Crow: A pear?
All of Crow’s Elephant Man shtick is something no MSTie should miss.
Crow: Come on, your breakfast’s getting cold and she’s not getting any warmer.
Joel: Trumpy, you can do stupid things!
Tom: So people are being methodically killed by the Banana Splits.
Overall: A MAJOR step up from 302, this episode is rapid-fire and hilarious. There are a few slow moments, but they’re few and far between. The only problem with riffing is that the “Chief! McCloud!” lines get a little old. The host segments are all winners; the strongest obviously being Idiot Control Now, the weakest probably the Prologue. If you have friends who haven’t seen the show, this is a good candidate for a first episode.
Score: A

Ah, Pod People. Considered by many to be a classic, last time I saw it, it didn't leave that kind of impression to me. Sure the host segments are great but I felt the dull movie really killed some of the riffing.
Personally, I'd rank Pod People below Gamera and Cave Dwellers, but a new viewing is in order, before I considered that statement final.

I never really cared for Pod People either, but this past viewing really pushed it over the edge for me. The rate of comments goes in andem with the kind of movie it is and it just...works.

I can destroy everything with my tongue.
Next episode!
304-Gamera vs. Barugon
Movie: A rarity in Gamera movies, this one doesn’t have any annoying kids! Thank God. The worst thing about the Gamera films are those terrible, terrible child actors. Ugh.
Anywho, this is Gamera’s first color outing and he spends most of the movie absent, he does however still get top billing. Must have a good agent.
A bunch of entrepreneurs need money for various financial plans so they team up to find a giant opal. Their names escape me, but is doesn’t matter anyways. There’s the handsome guy (our hero), the villain who, when wearing sunglasses, resembles T-Bone Burnette and…the other guy. They seek out the opal in a jungle cave, the locals try and persuade them not to, but they go anyways.
They find the opal-thing and the non-descript guy gets a NASTY scorpion sting (one of the grossest things ever on MST) and our villain attempts to blow up our hero and escape with the opal. Hero is found by natives and he and native maiden go to Japan to find the opal.
The opal’s actually an egg which hatches Barugon, sort of a lizard-dog with pneumatic tongue action. From here its standard monster movie fair. Things explode, monsters fight, Tokyo gets destroyed and EVENTUALLY Gamera gets off his ass and deals with Barugon.
Host Segments:
Prologue: Tom and Crow have a pre-Mac vs. PC OS war. Segment 1: Tom fixes the computer and Joel displays the animatronic Coke can. The Mads give the cumber-bubble-bun a disco flare. Segment 2: Tom advertises a Gamera playset that gets stranger by the moment. Segment 3: A visit to TGI Tokyo. Segment 4: Joel tells the bots about Gamera movie stars, including several Willem Defoe’s. Segment 5: Supplemental Gamera materials, Dr. F reads Stephen King.
Things that I noticed: -Its strange how Joel is referring to “operating systems” as “user interfaces”.
-I have no idea what in the hell Tom and Crow are arguing about in the Prologue. Okay, I get that its sort of a Mac-PC debate but, Amiga? Fat-Angus drive? Amusing as the sketch is, a lot is lost to this child of the internet age.
-They reused the cumber-bubble-bund, and it’s still a lame invention. Even with a disco motif.
-Why are Tom and Crow weird-looking in Segment 3? Seems like an odd segment that never fully came together.
-The producers COULD have shot the blood-sucking scene from a different angle. Maybe they were trying to make it look dirty.
-Segment 5 is filled to the brim with early-90’s pop culture. From uncut edition of “The Stand”, “The Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All”, etc. Kind of ages the episode.
Favorite riffs or quotes: Crow: You know Joel; there are some things people shouldn’t be conscious about. Joel: Like what? Crow: Well, like the fact that their tongues are sitting in the bottom of their mouths: all day, all night, even while they sleep.
Narrator: Gamera loves flames. Crow: But they go straight to his hips.
Tom: Flame on with Gamera. He spits real fire and causes real pain.
Overall: I liked this episode a bit more than 302, but mainly because the movie is less tedious. The host segments are mixed bag, with the computer bits being the winners along with Tom’s narration of the toy set. With most of these early MST episodes, a lot of the riffs and references feel a bit dated and in this episode and it creeps into the final host segment. Not the best Gamera episode, but not the worst. Definitely a winner if you hate annoying Japanese kids.
Score: B-

I want Hooker dealt with!
Next episode!
305-Stranded in Space
Movie: Think of it as The Fugitive…In Space.
Three astronauts float through space far from Earth on some vague mission, one of them is Colonel Neil Stryker aka Glenn Corbett. Their ship gets shakey and Neil wakes up in a hospital where the doctors try and convince him he’s home. In reality, he’s on planet Terra where the omnipresent Perfect Order is trying to get answers out of him. The overseers of Neil are Dr. Revere and the be-turtlenecked villain, Benedict (Cameron Mitchell) who considers Neil a danger to their society.
Neil gets suspicious and escapes the hospital, but not before being shot by Benedict. He soon realizes that he isn’t on Earth, but rather a duplicate where everyone is left-handed and semi-fascist. He finds a kindly old guy at a bookstore that lets him stay there. He calls for medical assistance and Patina, who recognizes Neil from the hospital, comes to the shop. Neil kidnaps her and she takes him to ANOTHER old guy who’s a rebel but has a drug problem caused when the Perfect Order previously worked on him at the ominous Ward E.
Meanwhile, Benedict has Dr. Revere committed to Ward E where he’s turned into a vegetable. It’s a powerful scene (as evident from the spinning camera), we’re all horrified…or something.
Neil and the old druggy hatch a plan to hijack a rocket but leave Patina out of it. She goes home but Benedict is there waiting. She’s taken to Ward E where she’s brainwashed and bugged. The plan starts to go as planned but shoots straight to hell when Patina leads Benedict and his men to the launch site. Old guy gets killed, Neil escapes and we’re left with an open-ending in case NBC decides to go to series (they don’t).
Host Segments:
Prologue: Joel turns the bots into a shooting gallery. Segment 1: Various “bang” weapons. Segment 2: Tom and Crow argue about trading cards. Segment 3: Crow has a bad dream and discusses Ward E with Tom. Segment 4: Joel and the bots, in turtlenecks and double-breasted suits, act like villains. Segment 5: Servo’s an executive and Joel and Crow pitch the movie to him. Dr. F looks for a replacement.
Things that I noticed: -For the first and last time, Joel gives explicit detail about the show in the Prologue. The concept of the Mads making the show and selling the results to cable TV will play a big part in the last few Comedy Central episodes.
-In Segment 1 when Joel stands up, camera pans up with him and we can see over the top of the set.
-The “bang” weapons are all funny; the nun chucks are especially ingenious. Probably a remnant of Joel’s stand-up act.
-Why the villains all wear double-breasted suits with turtlenecks is beyond me, but it does fit well with the 70’s archetypal villain.
-Apparently, Terra is an EXACT copy of Earth, which strikes me as extremely convenient as far as production goes: no expensive extra-terrestrial sets or aliens just stock Plymouth Fury III’s and quaint bookstores. Real imaginative.
-Note the return of Tibby in Segment 4.
-I love how in Segment 4 and 5 they find turtlenecks and suits for Joel, the bots and the Mads to wear.
Favorite riffs or quotes: Joel: Ball’s in your court. Dr. F.: Ball’s in our court – I’ll show you balls!
Neil: How about a nice, thick, juicy… Crow: Seizure!
Crow: We’re having Ray Bolger practice!
Joel: Oh, they shot my spare turtlenecks. I think Harry-O’s behind this!
Crow: Funny how space looks a lot like Sacramento. Tom: Or Ojai.
Overall: Like all of the TV movie episodes on the show, I like this episode. Not as much as, say, San Francisco Int’l or Code Name: Diamondhead…but I still like it. It has that certain early Season 3 charm which the show will quickly grow out of as it matures throughout the season and that always gives me the warm fuzzies.
In any case, the movie is very dry and isn’t particularly bad, heck! I’d watch it if NBC aired it on Monday nights. Regardless, Joel and the bots do a pretty decent effort in riffing considering what they’ve got. Most all of the host segments are fairly strong, with Segment 2 being the low point and the Invention Exchange being the clever high point.
This isn’t really an episode for a new viewer, unless they have taste like mine, but since most people don’t this is best left as viewing for more advanced MSTies. I’d personally give it a B-, but realistically I’ll give it…
Score: C+

Godo, help!
Next episode!
306-Time of the Apes
Movie: Another long, drawn out TV movie with one notable difference: It’s Japanese. And being Japanese, it’s goofy as hell. I wouldn’t expect anything less.
Short-shorted Johnny, his friend Caroline and his uncle’s assistant Catherine freeze themselves into the past…or the future…or something. Anyways, they’re in a land controlled by bipedal apes that can’t movie their jaws very well.
They’re captured but escape into the jungle where they meet Godo, another human. With him, they evade the authorities and try to stay alive.
Meanwhile, the extensive ape bureaucracy rushes to destroy our human friends. There a failed coups, generals and hundreds of other ape characters that aren’t really necessary to know about. Just know that this movie resembles a fever dream in that nothing makes sense…ever. Host Segments:
Prologue: Joel and the bots play some tee ball…with disastrous results. Segment 1: The cellulite phone. Frank’s tries out his Miracle Baby Growth Wonder Formula…with disastrous results. Segment 2: Why doesn’t Johnny care? Segment 3: The Scopes Monkey Trial. Segment 4: Crow’s ape fashion revue. Segment 5: Joel and the bots sing of Sandy frank and gad about. Dr .F and Frank change the baby.
Things that I noticed: -Having Crow’s lacrosse net be replaced with a catcher’s mitt and Tom dome with the tee and mug are cute touches.
-The simulated projector noise provided by Crow and Tom’s distortion of his voice in Segment 2 is a neat touch that makes the entire sketch for me.
-I can see why Sandy Frank won’t re-license these films for MST3K. Joel and the bots do go a bit far in their mockery of him…
-The Scopes trial is an oddly, over-written sketch with little pay-off. Seems like they just wanted to reference the trial.
-What’s with the UCONN flying saucer thing? How does Catherine know about it? What’s with the weird ending of this movie? Damn you, badly edited Japanese TV shows!
-The scene where Joel and the bots “shoot” Peppe is absolutely hilarious.
Check out Joel’s dancing Segment 5, it’s spastic and weird but it suits him.
Favorite riffs or quotes: Frank: I did it! It worked better than I thought! I’m the god! I’m the god!
Johnny’s Mom: Johnny, it’s too dangerous. Don’t go. Johnny: I don’t care.
Crow: Somebody’s carpet. Joel: And its being steam-cleaned. Tom: Rug Doctors, steaming mad at monkeys.
Tom: Oh no, it hit the plot contrivance switch.
Johnny: I don’t want to be killed by a monkey! Crow: I want to die at my own hand.
Catherine: Do you live here with your parents? Joel: No, they’re dead, dead, dead![/b]
All three: Sandy Frank, Sandy Frank likes to crap in his hand. Tom: I hope he doesn’t see this.
Ape Leader: If cause trouble, I will kill you. Have you understood that? Tom: You will kill me!
Crow: Run like a duck!
Crow: It’s a big joke for people who are high! Overall: There are moments where this movie should end, but doesn’t. There are actually several moments like this. And it’s not like this movie is any longer than their other movies but it just keeps dragging on. Probably the result of TV-series origins.
Like I was saying in the review of 305, Joel and the bots riffing depends on the movie their watching. In this episode, the pure goofiness really lets the riffing shine. One of the best episodes of season 3 for riffs.
The host segments are pretty top-notch with plenty of zany charm. Great episode. Highly recommended.
Score: A+
