Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie Page #8

Synopsis: The mad and evil scientist, Dr. Clayton Forrester, has created an evil little scheme that is bound to give him world global domination but first thing's first. He plans to torment Mike Nelson and the robots by sending them a real stinker of a film to watch called, "This Island Earth." He is convinced that this movie will drive them insane. And since the guys cannot control when the movie begins or ends, they are forced to witness the true horror that is this awful movie that has a lobster creature dressed in slacks. But will this be the ultimate cheese that breaks the boys' spirits? It's up to one test subject's quick wit, sharp sense of humor, and utter intolerance for cinematic garbage to foil the plans of the scientist and to save the Earth.

Okay. Hands on ten and two;

check space cushion; pull out in the aah!

Oh great! Brack

siphoned our gas!

Oh, Carl...

Cal.

Oh, Cal...

- Home.

- Thank God it's still here...

...and friday!

Hell, let's hangar

this baby in then.

Spock!

Let's see how many

times I can skip this thing!

Nope. Pay no attention to me.

I'm just a weather balloon.

Just some swamp gas.

"Service engine soon."

I wonder what that's all about.

A giant flaming hat was

seen over the coast tonight...

Exeter thought he could squeeze

one more trip to earth out of this jalopy.

I'll always love you, Br Aah!

That's going to put your

panfish down for a while.

Exeter died on impact. Brack was arraigned

in superior court, county of Los Angeles.

In a moment,

the results of that trial.

This Island Earth!

That movie was a breeze!

I dig those crazy

Metalunians, Mike.

The movie is over.

The experiment is complete.

And... if my calculations

are correct...

Adjust for pi.

Mike's will should be broken

just about now.

Broken?

- Hey Mike, your spirit feeling broken?

- Heck no. We're fine, Dr. Forrester.

In fact, we're just hailing ourselves

a little Metaluna mix there.

Just call me Ruth, Mike!

Hey, check me out! I'm just like

one of your insects. Larger, of course.

Come on, everybody!

Make with the smoke, man!

So, you're having a party, eh?

Well, every party

needs a pooper!

Hey, look at that. Dr. Forrester's gone.

Alright. Now we'll

never get back to Earth!

Hey, wait a minute.

I don't know why people

leave during the credits.

- I always stay for the credits!

- Yeah, me too.

This is Orson Welles.

A good cast deserves another mention.

In the event that the first assistant director

is unable to fulfill her duties...

Bix Skahill and his big band!

Two Brantsegs in one film.

What are the odds?

Puppet wranglers. There

weren't any puppets in this movie?

And Dale Mather as

the Beaver.

- Oh, I love Triskos, with Espinosa.

- Oh, and a little Herget down 'em...

- In the event that the first assistant camera

is unable to... - Okay, alright.

Hey, they're on the blue line. They're over

the blue line. Oh, nice assist by Brad Keely!

Come on down to L. Marie Ford.

Free hotdogs, and balloons for mom.

Linda Froiland. Isn't she in

Babes in Froiland?

- Andrea "Action Jackson" DuCane.

- That's good.

Julie Walker, Texas Ranger.

- In the event that the assistant production

coordinator... - Okay, enough. - Sorry!

The winner, and still phorographer,

Mickey Kienitz.

So there's one guy who

just grinds out keys all day?

- The Amazing Rando! - Watch Rando the Great

construct sets with his very mind!

No, we've never met

before, have we?

Craft services will be held at

10 am, Tuesday.

- Kurt "Band-Aid" Gensmer.

- Dan "Contusion" Dustin.

- Jim "Heart Attack" Robinson.

Oh, yeah. These are the guys that just sit in basement rooms

and figure out ways to make elves disappear.

Avelino Deleon,

brother of Ponce.

Here's Avelino in his rear-engined Lotus

followed by Jaquilin Zietlow in a Ferrari.

We recorded at

Sync S-s-s-o-o-u-u-n-d.

- Excuse me, Magic Film and Video, but Rando will do

all the magic on this film. - That "Rando" stuff kills me.

Uh, yeah. Bill Schwab. He's the guy that goes

around attributing his own faults to other people.

Oh, right. The "projectionist."

"I Sing the Additional Grip Electric."

So, if you pick something up once,

you're considered a grip.

And now we're just seeing guys

who drove by the studio one afternoon.

We'd like to thank the people of St. Paul, who are,

in alphabetical order, Anderson, Aaron, Anderson, Alan...

Energy Park, providing a safe place

for energy to play.

This week at Energy Park, flugelhorn demonstration

and magic by The Amazing Rando!

As long as we're thanking the whole entire world,

I'd like to thank a guy I know named Earl.

Eastman. He came out of the east

to do battle with The Amazing Rando!

Oh, yeah, well how about the
