Movie? Hmm..

I've kind of become my own little MST2K. GF hates watching movies with me.

Joel was the best, Mike was annoying for a while, but he got a little funnier later on.

Loved Hobgoblins in MST3K.

Love the tv series in general.

Yeah, i just saw the "2" but you know what i mean.

If you really dont...Its "Mystery Science Theater 3000". Look into it.

Is that the show/movie with the a shadow of a couple "things" talking at the bottom?

Its been awhile, but if i remember correctly, the main character was Joel, a janitor at a top-secret research facility who had been marooned on an orbiting space ship by two evil scientists. They had an evil plan to force Joel to watch one bad movie after another, in order to study how he would cope with such torture. Joel's only companions on the spaceship were four robots he built himself: Crow, Tom Servo, Gypsy and a camera robot named Cambot, through whose mechanical eye we see the proceedings. While Gypsy attended to the details of running the ship, Crow and Tom joined Joel in the ship's screening room, the Mystery Science Theater, as he watched the movies.
Over time, as performers departed and others were brought in to replace them, there were changes in the characters and the premise. In the CC-era episodes, Dr. Erhardt went "missing" and Dr. F. hired goofy lab assitant, TV's Frank. In the middle of the fifth season, Joel was replaced by Mike.
There's was alot of change in "evil scientists" and such, i dunno, i never kept up with that part, lol, but despite the changes in the series, essentially the same thing happened in each episode: After some brief preliminaries, Joel/Mike were sent a movie and in response Joel/Mike and the bots yelled "Movie Sign!" and then ran to the theater through several cool hatchways. You could see their silhouettes, sitting in the theater at the bottom of the TV screen and, as they watched the movie, the three spouted funny commentary, satire and general heckling.
The comments from Joel/Mike and the bots, were really the whole point of the show. The comments varied a great deal, from scatological silliness and sarcastic needling one moment, to complex wordplay and obscure references the next.
The show ran two hours, enough time to show an entire horrible movie and sometimes a terrible one-reeler, as well. And three times (about once every half hour) during the movie, Joel/Mike and the bots came out of the theater to the ship's bridge for short comedy bits which may or may not have had some connection to the film they were watching.

In a nutshell, lol.

In a nutshell, lol.

A cocanut shell, you mean, lol.

You've gotta see the "Space Mutiny" episode. Best episode, imo. Although, I find it rather funny that I saw the movie "Quest of the Delta Knights" on TBS and thought it was so bad that it should be a MST3K episode, and six months later, it was!

joel was the man I loved that show !!!!
