It's great when you find a show that you just want to keep on talking about well for me Mystery Science Theater 3000 is one of those shows. As no matter how often I talk about this great and unique show I still want to talk about it as it really is a fun show that anybody can get into when they find the right episode to watch and so then join me as I review the episode that proves that really does prove that you just can't stick H.G. Well's name on any film and expect it to be a really hit film with the episode in question being called simply just "H.G. Wells' The Shape Of Things To Come" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is Emily try to teach the bots about love all while watching a dreadful science fiction film. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty rather simple which is something that works really well for this kind of a show as it then allows for alot more jokes and not be bogged down by getting us to the next plot point in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is The Guild creator Felicia Day as Kinga Forrester , Patton Oswalt as Max and Emily Marsh as Emily Connor. Also starring in this episode is Conor McGiffin as the voice of Tom Servo , Kelsey Ann Brady as the voice of Crow , Grant Baciocco as M. Waverly , Yvonne Freese as the voice of GPC 2 , this shows creator and this episodes co-writer Joel Hodgson as Ardy and Russ Walko as Growler.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With alot of this episodes cast members turning in some really good performances in this episode with Emily Marsh just being a true delight to see on screen with the cast being helped out quite allot by the episodes script with this script being so god and so funny that all the cast have to do is just say the words as they are written and a good performance will come out naturally.
As the name of this review implies the movie that is being watched in this episode is H.G. Wells' The Shape Of Things To Come. Which is a movie that I don't think anybody or alot of people really know about but that's the great thing about this show as it brings up movies that you might not know about and thanks to this show might now have an interest in watching regardless of if the movie in question is any good or not and as such that does make this show a great watch as there's something for everyone in every single episode and chances are that you might just find a movie that you want to watch hidden somewhere in this show.
This episode was just a pure fun filled episode to watch as it was nothing but wall to wall laughs all through out the episode. While this episode does also heavily edit down the movie that there watching to fit in the host segments for this episode in this case that only made the episode all the more fun to watch as in it's the theater segments where we get alot of this episodes biggest laughs and that is something you don't very often get with this show and while I would have liked it if they showed the movie in it's entirety I do get that they had there own stuff to hit into the episode and so edits to the actual movie had to be made.
There are some things that I didn't like in this episode like the fact that they break continuity as Emily's bots state at the beginning of the episode that they frequently haze the new guy. Yet they only just introduced these bots earlier on in this very season and the other thing that I didn't like about this episode is the fact that the characters of Kinga and Max just straight up disappear from the episode which granted did happen in the classic series as well but at the same time the villains in the classic show would get entire plot lines just dedicated to them and that's something that is very sorely missing from this new season of the show.
Out of the two Emily hosted episodes that i've seen this perhaps the worst one just because I don't think she got across her personalty all that well. Which is a shame because she does seem like a really likable person and yet if you were basing her character just of off this one episode then it wouldn't do her any favors as this episode makes her out to be a bit on the less intelligent which granted is done to set up a joke but at the same time she is a new host and your not really doing an kind of favors when your making her look like the dumbest person in the room but I do fully understand that if somethings funny you always go for the funny option it just should shouldn't come at the expense of one of your main new characters.
Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty seven minuets and six seconds. Which is pretty much the bog standerd running time for this show to have but given just how weak the plot of the episode is this episode should have been alot shorter just because alot of the host segments just go nowhere and add nothing to the overall plot of the episode which is a shame because when we do get a really good and funny host segment it doesn't last very long and yet when we get an unfunny host segment that one lasts longer then the funny one but I will admit that this .episode does have some really good pacing to it.
So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode 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 really good. With alot of the jokes that they make about the movie not only landing but also being painfully funny with this episode making me laugh out loud quite a few times because that's just how funny the actual jokes are in this very episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall while this episode isn't as funny as The Batwoman episode this is still a really funny episode and it just goes to prove that Emily is a really very funny host on this show in my freaking pinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked abut 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 really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 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 the official Mystery Science Theater 3000 fandom wiki page , IMP Awards .
