Mitchell is a go to for me.
Joel's snowy farewell, Mike narrowly missing death, and it got the cast/crew physically threatened by Joe Don Baker.
FYI for anyone just reminded of the show: !mst3k@lemmy.world
The Final Sacrifice is one of my all-time favorites!! It is the perfect mix of a bad movie that is just the right kind of entertaining and hilarious jokes at the awkward kid, hopeless drunk, and other ridiculous side characters. I think I could watch it literally every day.
This is one of the harder episodes to find. Tjardus Greidanus lives up to the name he's given durning the opening credits and doesn't allow Shoutcast to have a license for the movie and will frequently go copyright strike anyone that puts the episode up online.
Each man is a god each man is free....Which is why we worship aliens whose only power is to give one man a problematic outfit and a bad accent.
Space Mutiny and Overdrawn at the Memory Bank are tied for me. They both still absolutely slay me everytime I put them on. Seasonally appropriate too!
"Sabotaged?! But what of the little children and their toys? "
"Finally, Christmas comes to Santa!"
"So he only dabbles in dopples?"
Mitchell, Manos, and Pod People are probably a three-way tie for me. Some of my underrated favorites are Girls Town, The Incredible Melting Man, The Giant Spider Invasion, Teen-Age Crime Wave, and Kitten With a Whip.
I think Giant Spider Invasion is the first one I ever saw, randomly showing on SciFi channel early one morning. I was dying from laughter, just laying on the floor gasping for breath from laughing so hard. Been a fan ever since!
I really love pod people. I introduced mst3k to my friends I made in college my freshman year with this and they didn’t think I was a huge weirdo! Instead they all just fell in love with trumpy.
Yep, me too. It's an awful movie in so many confusing ways but I love it so much. Also the guys are on fire throughout.
“Manos! The hands of fate.“ I’ve corrupted my wife to the point where either of us will just blurt it out now when we talk about hands
Do yourself a favor and check out the Rifftrax streaming app. Tons of great content. Easily worth the $6 a month.
Overall favorite is probably The Movie if that counts (not an episode), Werewolf if it doesn't.
I use the movie to introduce people to the show. It sets up the whole universe without tons of in-jokes that newbies won't understand. And "This Island Earth" is a weird combo of being a decent enough movie while still being infinitely mockable.
Me and my mum found the movie on late one night and I don’t think we’d ever laughed as hard from something for as long. Our sides were in agony.
Bite your tongue, Manos the Hands of Fate would like a word. An actor literally died from that movie it was so bad.
