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.

Irgendwann, so ziemlich genau um das Jahr 3000 und an einem Sonntagnachmittag herum, muss sich der nicht allzu helle Mike Nelson (Michael J. Nelson) an Bord eines Raumschiffs als Laborratte zur Verfügung stellen. Freilich unfreiwillig, denn der abgrundtief böse Wissenschaftler Dr. Clayton Forrester (Trace Beaulieu) missbraucht ihn für seine unmenschlichen Versuche. Sein Ziel: Die Erringung der Weltherrschaft, indem er den schlechtesten Film aller Zeiten findet, mit dessen Hilfe er alle Menschen in den Wahnsinn treiben will. Deshalb zwingt er den armen Mike Nelson, sich einen schlechten Film nach dem anderen anzusehen.Glücklicherweise leisten ihm dabei die beiden Roboter Tom Servo und Crow T. Robot Gesellschaft und versüßen die bittere Mission mit ihren beißend ironischen, mitunter sehr sarkastischen Kommentaren zum Geschehen auf der Leinwand.

5Was andere sagen
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 about). Then I was frustrated because the movie was so short; far shorter than the original runtime of the film they’re riffing, or even of the weekly episodes on cable. According to the creators, it was not an easy movie to produce, with a lot of pushback from the studio. But I gotta say, the jokes hold up pretty well. And when comedy is involved, it is hard to argue with “I laughed.”
Realized halfway through this morning’s class screening that I had this thing memorized; re-reading Fujiwara and Rosenbaum’s screeds made me feel protective in spite of myself. Quite the artefact of an era that happened to intersect with my adolescence, and adolescence is the essence of MST3K’s appeal; it’s sadder, maybe, to grow out of it than to not. As a case study in about a half dozen industrial, intellectual and subcultural phenomenons, it’s essential, but the silence of the students was suggestive too.
