Join Joel and his 'robot friends' as they're forced to endure two of the worst movies ever made. To maintain their sanity, they hilariously skewer the films' performaces, special effects and dialogue.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - wow
Have to agree with most reviewers that 'Santa Claus' is worth the price of the box. 'Manos' is indeed awful, so badly photographed, badly paced, and just plain off, it creates a black hole of badness from which little humor can escape - though the MST crew give it a credible try, and do produce some laugh-out-loud moments. The director of 'Manos' must have been a silent movie buff, as there are many scenes and settings evocative of 1920s films (and the sound is about as good). 'Santa Claus' on the other hand is campy-bad, and the boys make the most of it. Recommended.
Rating: - So much fun!
I was a die-hard fan of this show back in the day. I ordered this to introduce my 11-year old son to the series. He is now a fan too. Sooo funny!!
Rating: - The Worst! But That's Good!
Two classic stinker movies made watchable by Joel, Mike, Tom, and Crow. "Manos" is truly awful with the whole movie being re-dubbed (I encourage you to read IMDB.com's Trivia section on this movie). "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" is only a few steps lower on the bad movie scale because it had a higher production value. So just sit back and watch the crew slice these movies up. The "Poopie" blooper section also has some great outtakes.
Rating: - Mystery Science Theater 3000
Just the way we remember the series when it was still in production.
Funny, witty, classic commentary by the "bots".
Rating: - For a limited time only! Things The Curmudgeon actually LIKES - part three!
It's that time once again, faithful readers. Time to stop attacking the wretched dross available on this site and embrace the very best things that makes The Curmudgeon NOT wish hot, burning death on everyone on the planet. In short - its a time of celebration. And hey - YOU'RE invited.
It was a total fluke that I happened to see this show.
Back when MST3K was on the air, the only place to see it was in America. This was back in the time when the net wasn't invented, we ate what we killed ourselves and people used to have sex with monkeys. Probably. Dark days, my friends.
So it was only on a "vacation", as you space age yanks say, to America that I discovered the wonder, the sheer unadulterated joy that is Mystery Science Theater 3000. A show that does two pretty amazing things; it effortlessly glides past its shoe-string budget, creating lovable, fun characters from hunks of plastic but it also makes watching the worst movies imaginable into 90 of the best minutes of your day.
As is the case with, say, The Simpsons and such, I'm not actually reviewing this DVD itself, more the overall show (although both these episodes are hilarious, even if Manos had appeared on an earlier boxset). So while the very, very first episodes were quite hard to sit through, with some poor jokes, dodgy voices and loooong gaps in between talking, MST3K hit a stride fairly early on in its run and the quality didn't let up right till the end.
