Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Gauntlet "Mac And Me" Review

 


Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans since I had a really good time taking a look at the the movie version of this show I thought that i'd go and take a look at an episode of this show. Since it would be far to easy for me to take a look at a classic episode of this show I thought that i'd take a look at the very first episode of the revival shows second season so join me as I review an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Gauntlet with the episode in question being freaking called simply just "Mac And Me" enjoy.

This show really doesn't have a plotline to speak of whatsoever an the same thing is also true for this episode outside of them introducing The gauntlet for this particular season that is. Now then I really do think / feel that this kind of show really does work it's absolute best when it doesn't have a plotline since a show like this is meant to be pure entertainment and as such having plotline would hinder that entertainment aspect of the show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Just like with what I did with the movie I will only be crediting the actors and actresses whom are appearing / starring in the host segments of this episode. As such starring in this episode is Jonah Ray as Jonah Heston , Hampton Yount as The Voice Of Crow T. Robot , Baron Vaughn as The Voice Of Tom Servo , Felicia Day as Kinga Forrester , Patton Oswalt as Max , Grant Baciocco as M. Waverly and Rebecca Hanson as The Voice Of Gypsy and as Synthia.

Now then I personally really did like the actual acting that we got to see in this episode since I really did think that all of the actors that are appearing in / starring in this very episode really did do a really good job in this episode. This was something that really did shock as I don't usually associate good acting with this franchise and so to see this episode some really good acting was a well and truly shocking thing in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Now then as we all know by now Mystery Science Theater 3000 is based on making fun of movies and well then for this episode that picked Mac And Me to make fun off. Which I have to say was a good choice since even tho I haven't yet seen this movie it does seem like the movie is just so freaking perfect for getting the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then I really do like the idea of the evil scientist type of character openly choosing to have characters literally run the gauntlet. Since it really does mean that this season at the very least can take full advantage of people whom like to binge watch TV shows and movies because of the very fact that this season was made to binged watched and that's something that I haven't seen in a show at all and it's something that is a freaking welcome addition to this very show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I do think tho that could have chosen six worse movies then the ones that they've chosen since there six other movies all of which more terrible then any of the six movies that were chosen for this season. Heck there are worse movies then Mac And Me which would have been perfect to start of this season but starting this season with a literal E.T. knockoff was a pretty smart move to make in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


I know that this revival era of the show gets some hate from die hard fans but the way that I see it is if it can introduce new fans such as myself to this iconic franchise then that can only be a good thing. Heck this episode introduced me to a movie that i've never even heard and now have interest in checking out because that's how good this episode well and truly was and that's how influential this franchise can be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty one minuets and forty seven seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for any episode of this show and it really does help with the fact that this episode really just fly by and if anything I wished that this episode was alot longer simply because I was having just so much fun with this episode and that can only be a good thing in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this show is a comedy show after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Altho alot of the jokes do come by pretty quickly which did mean that I missed alot of this episodes jokes and as such I wished that they just slowed down on the amount of jokes that they delivered to us in this very episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really fun episode and it was easily better then Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie simply because of the fact that this show actually showed us the full length movie that it was making fun of and that's always a freaking good thing for me in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
