Mystery Science Theater 3000: Teenagers from Outer Space [fragment]
Comedy Central
June 27, 1992
Riffing
VHS
B
This episode, apparently the only one I have from '92, is a little gem, from the Erma Bombeck joke onward. (I omitted most of the episode between the opening credits and the beginning of the 1959 movie.) The movie itself is sort of sweet, but definitely inept and implausible even for its sub-genre, as Joel and the Bots point out in the Reel Life vs. Real Life sequence. Lots of musical references, as well as refs and riffs to Rush Limbaugh and (unrelated) the JFK assassination. And don't miss the scene where Crow is nude!
