Mystery Science Theater 3000 "The Wild Wild World Of Batwoman" Review

It's been well over a year since anything from the Mystery Science Theater 3000 TV show was reviewed and well I thought that with the guys from Rifftrax making four new episodes to be released later this year and the fact that we are close to the thirtieth anniversary of Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie now would be the best time to talk about another episode. With this episode actually being the first classic era episode that i've talked about and so then join me as I review the episode that sees Mike and The Bots learn all about the horrid dangers of cheating with the episode in question being called simply just "The Wild Wild World Of Batwoman" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Mike and The Bots decide to write essay's about one of the shorts that they've just watched they discover Crow has cheated on his and have to find a way to punish him whilst also watching a terrible Batman 1966 knock off movie. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot thats actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I 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 not that bad as while this episodes plot does get alot more focus then what the typical plots for this show has as nine times out of ten this shows plots are barely there at best with the thin plots just being used as a way to loosely connect the shows host segments here tho there was alot more focus on plot with the plot of the episode technically starting when the characters are watching the short "Discussion Problems In Group Living: Cheating" as it's the questions that the narrator of that show poses to people that helps to inspire the plot of this episode which was a really good idea as it does mean that we get to see the characters live out there own comedic version of what was an oddly serious short and yet while it would have been nice if the episode did have more scenes in it that focused on it's plot that is something that might have stopped the episode from being as enjoyable as it is as there would have been no way to do that without cutting out key scenes from the movie that there meant to be watching in the first place with the episodes plot working just fine as it is with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this episode is one of this episodes writers Michael J. Nelson as Mike Nelson and Trace Beaulieu as the voice of Crow T. Robot and Dr. Clayton Forrester. Also starring in this episode is one of episodes writers Kevin Murphy as the voice of Tom Servo , one of this episodes writers Frank Conniff as the voice of TV's Frank and this episodes producer , one of this episodes writers and director Jim Mallon as the voice of Gypsy.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting thats actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I 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 not that bad. Which for this show is something that's to be expected as not alot of the actors that are in this episode are trained actors with alot of them just being writers and that's it and therefor it would have been foolish of anyone to expect good or great acting out of this episodes actors as there all they are their for is to tell jokes and make fun of a movie with that being something that doesn't require good acting in it and yet at the same time we do get some really passable acting in this episode with the episodes best actor being Trace Beaulieu as the voice of Crow T. Robot and Dr. Clayton Forrester as he's been playing both of his characters since quite literally the very episode of the show bac when the show was just being broadcast on a local network and played both roles up until season 7 of this thirteen season show and therefor he would of course know how best to perform both of these characters and what kind of performance would best suite both of these characters and while he doesn't get alot of screen time as Dr. Clayton Forrester with him only appearing near the start and at the end of the episode he's pretty much in every single scene as Crow and yet you can't tell that the series main villain is also playing one of the series main heroes with the acting that's in this episode not really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode really doesn't give this episodes actors anything to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

This is a case where it would be pointless to talk about the episodes character as the show by it's very nature doesn't spend alot of time with it's characters as they have to fit in an entire film and in this case a short film for the episodes main characters to riff on. With the short itself being something that is ripe for being made for fun off as to put it bluntly it's a short that shows us the downside of cheating which isn't what makes it bad as what makes it bad s the fact that the main character is caught cheating on one math's exam with all of the characters treating it like it's the end of the world even down the point where the characters math's teachers visits him in his dreams to give him a nightmare look fair enough that short film was made in the fifties and was more then likely made to be shown in schools and therefor it does in that sense make sense that the characters would treat as this very big deal but at the same time tho no one in real life would treat cheating on a random math's exam as being that big of a deal as while yes cheating is wrong and is something that should always be discouraged but at the same time the film does go over board with how it effects the main characters personal life and that is something that is not only hilarious to see but it's also something that makes the short film stand out just for how bad it is with this episode mostly playing the entire short film with the only real thing being cut out being the fact they don't show a character taking a minuet to pick up the phone and that's really it and even then that could be argued was mor due to the fact that the short might have have been damaged over the years but otherwise this episode does what this episode always does and that's let the whole thing play out from start to finish with not cuts made to the short itself.

As you can tell by the name of this review this episode had the characters riffing on the 1966 film The Wild World Of Batwoman. With this film technically having THREE titles as according to the films poster it's called The Wild World Of Batwoman yet according to this episode which shows the films title card it's called The Wild Wild World Of Batwoman and then there's the re-release title of the film which is "She Was A Hippy Vampire" with it being pretty obvious not only from the title of the film but also the films poster that this film was only made due to how popular that the 1966 Batman TV show was with this film not even being made with co-operation of DC Comics who sued this films writer , producer and director Jerry Warren copyright infringement with it being made crystal clear that there was behind the scenes issues with the film something which the star of the film herself Katherine Victor confirmed to be true with her saying that if any actor rubbed Jerry Warren the wrong way then he would either cut their lines entirely or give them to other actors with her confirming that the girl who gets kidnapped at the start of the film was going to be the main character of the film something which is pretty obvious that the film was setting up to be true and yet because he thought that she getting to big for her britches he made the call to change it. This episode does deserve alot of credit as it did dhow the entire film in full as the film in only a little over an hour long and even that seemed to much for this film as even tho this episode was mocking the film you can tell that the film was struggling to reach even that running time with the film being one of those films that is best left forgotten as even tho this episode is really good the film itself is frequently called one of the worst films ever made and quite frankly for a good reason.

Whilst the episode is on the whole really good there are some things about it that don't work as well as they could have done. Like for example we only focus on the main heroes this episode which is fine as they do get to do some pretty entertaining stuff but at the same time the villains of this show are more often then not the more entertaining characters and yet they only appear in two of the episodes multiple host segments which does seem odd as given that the crew are meant to be making fun of a very poorly done superhero film it would have made sense for the makers of this episode to do a more worse version of that film rather then a version of the short film as then they could have used there evil characters in more entertaining ways as while showing Dr. Clayton Forrester get a haircut via a nuclear powered hairdryer is funny to see and it does give is a really funny visual it would have been more entertaining if the episode kept on cutting back to them and making that sort of like a subplot for the episode with him trying to get Frank to reveal just what his new hair cut looks like only for Frank to find new and creative ways to avoid showing him something which they then could tie up at the end of the episode yes it's not much but it doesn't need to be as it would only need to be subplot anyway and therefor it could be this more fun and goofy little plot that doesn't effect the main plot of the episode and while the main plot of the episode with Mike , Tom and Gypsy trying to essentially teach Crow about cheating is a sold plot it's also not as fun and as goofy as it could have been either as those characters are characters that work there best when there in these more fun and goofy plots and having them be in a plot that is alot of the time played straight just doesn't work and while that might be the point as it's meant to be a parody it still needs to be something that work for those characters.

The host segments in this episode worked fine for what they were as there always meant to be silly little sketches that sometimes continue on a plot or that are sometimes just there to make us laugh and nothing more then that. With the ones in this episode trying to do both and while they do succeed in advancing a plot that plot is one that didn't need to have multiple sketches dedicated to it as you could have had one or two sketches spread out throughout the episode and it would have worked just as well and yet for one reason or another the makers of hie episode thought that they needed to have all but the opening sketch for this episode be about this cheating plot line and while yes that plot line is meant to be a parody of the short film it's also one that does hold the episode back from being this fun and wacky show that alot of us know that it can be due to the fact that the characters are playing it all straight when this show is one that should have these more wacky plot lines as this is a show that doesn't take itself far to seriously and shouldn't take it self far to seriously as it's meant to be a comedy and that's really all there is to it and while yes the show on the whole does have scenes that they do take seriously they only happen when the plot of the show is being advanced like when a host leaves or joins the show for example and yet here the whole cheating plot line is given that same amount of grandeur and while that does help to make those segments be all the more funny as we the audience know exactly what it is there spoofing and can therefor get behind it a little bit more it does cause the episode to loose some of that extra special something that has made the show be as fondly remembered as it is.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty three minuets and fifteen seconds. With this being the bogstandard running time for the rest of the show as well which is something that dis make sense when you take into account that they have to fit in an entire film and in this case an entire short film plus the host segments into the episode as well with the episode itself having just about the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place and while the fact that the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot this is something that does make sense in this episode as the episode can't of course devote alot of it's time to it's plot due to the fact that it is has to fit in a film and short film with both of those things being the things that people come to this show to watch be made fun of and therefor of course the film is going to devote as much as time as is humanly possible to getting as many jokes about those two in the episode with this also meaning that the characters can't get any kind of character development with this also being something that could be argued happens in both the later seasons of the show and the shows only movie and yet the episode doesn't feel like it's being short changed because of it as it's something that you notice is missing from the episode due to how to fun that the episode is and while yes it would have been nice if the plot and characters got some development that would take away screen time from one of the episodes jokes and would thus make the episode be alot less fun to watch but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean 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 the characters making some really good jokes about both the short and the film itself like for example when the teacher shows up in the kids bedroom in the short film the characters comment on how creepy it is that she would do that or there's the opening scenes with the episodes villains where every single time that Frank gets near Dr. Clayton Forrester het gets scared because of the fact that he gave him a bad haircut only for it to be revealed that he actually likes his new haircut which is a funny joke in it's own right and yet the best joke in the whole entire episode is when Tom is just yelling for the movie to end with him slowly loosing his mind each time that he says it as you can feel his frustration due to the fact that we the audience are also watching the film and possibly also begging for the film to end as well with the episode making lots of really funny jokes about the film like for example that make fun of the fact that this film was really only made because of how popular that the 1966 Batman TV show was just by saying to one of the movies stars that the film also stars Adam West and even if the episode does tell a bad joke it doesn't really matter as by the time you've heard it they've already told two of three really good jokes with the bad joke being long forgotten about in the process with the episode giving us alot more funny jokes then it does bad ones as that's just how funny that this episodes jokes really are in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this episode might not be one of the best episodes that this show has done it is a good example of just how good that this show could be something which the movie itself would also do as this is show is one that should be remembered and this episode is one that should be watched due to how funny that it can be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then 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 really does mean that his 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 sued 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 to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 "Doctor Mordrid" Review

For every big summer hit film out there there's always a cheaply done knock off by The Asylum however they weren't the only ones that would do those types of movies. As the episode that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today spotlights a film that was made by Full Moon Features and that is a knock off of the Doctor Strange character and so then join me as I review the episode that sees the crew of the satellite of love tackle a bad knock off movie with the episode in question being called simply just "Doctor Mordrid" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Kinga and Max have to get a host from the past while Emily and the bots have to try and survive the latest bad movie. 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 thats actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as even tho the plots of this show are usually pretty thin at best the plot of this episode did a good enough job of advancing the overall plot of the season despite it not really being focused on all that much which is pretty in keeping with this show but at the same time given that this is an important episode for this season it would have made more sense if they did focus a bit more on the plot of this season instead of only bringing it up once or twice which is also an issue with alot of the episodes from this season and it's not something that's just an issue with this episode but at the same time tho if this episode did put more focus on the plot of the season then it would mean that it would get in the way of them making jokes about this bad movie which is what alot of people myself included came to this show to see and while it would have been nice to have more of a stronger focus on the plot in this episode when push comes to shove having a weaker plot would mean getting more jokes which is something that this show is all about having with the plot of this episode being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is this episodes writer Emily Marsh as Emily Connor and Kelsey Ann Brady as The Voice Of Crow. Also starring in this episode is Conor McGiffin as The Voice Of Tom Servo , this episodes writer Yvonne Freese as The Voice Of GPC 2 , Baron Vaughn as Dr. Kabahl , The Guld creator and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog star Felicia Day as Kinga Forrester , King Of Queens star Patton Oswalt as Max , Joel Hodgson as Ardy and J. Elvis Weinstein as Dr. Erhardt.

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' actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Which is something that's true for alot of this shows acting as well as this show has always had some pretty decent acting in it which while granted this episodes actors won't ever be as good as say Scrubs for example but for what is meant to be low rent comedy show where not alot of the actors are professional actors the very face that we get good acting in it at all is a miracle in it's own right made even more so when you take into account that alot of this episodes actors only started playing their respective roles in this very season of the show and yet all of this episodes performances are just as fun and just as goofy as you'd want from a show like this one in the first place as this is a show that really doesn't demand good acting in it as having just passable acting would be more then enough for this show and it's one that works well enough for this episode as well with the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a a good performance really will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

While this show is none for making fun of bad movies what it's not really that well known for is for making a ton of references. As just in the first few minuets of the actual movie alone there's more then a handful of references which is a bit beneath this show as while yes they do make references to other things in the past it was usually done in a smart and clever way and yet in this episode they just straight up yell what the reference is and while making references to something can be seen as being funny what made this show work so well was it's wordplay and the fact that they were saying things at the movie that us the audience would never say with the one bright spot during this films many references is the fact that Emily Marsh herself is pretty funny and if she did choose a career in comedy she very easily could be a big thing in comedy as se just has a wicked and quick sense of humor and while she herself does make alot of the references in this episode she does at least balance them out and space them out a bit so that it's not happening all the time where as with the actors playing Crow and Tom it's something that they do alot of the time and that is something that there characters would never do as they both are meant to have a really sarcastic sense of humor and making a reference to say Blackadder and The Flintstones does go against that even if it really does remind people that The Flintstones and Blackadder was once a thing it still would have been nice if they did tone down on the pop culture references or space them out alot more better then what they do because as things are it makes it look like that the only jokes in this episode are just pop culture references and really nothing more then that.

As you can all no doubt work out just from the title of the movie and the films poster Doctor Mordrid is actually a knock off of the Doctor Strange character. With the film even starting out life as a Doctor Strange movie before Full Moon Features lost the rights to the character when this film was in the pre-production stage but instead of cancelling the film all together they instead chose to carry on with the film and only make very small very minor changes to the films script to avoid any legal troubles hence why this film comes off as being a Doctor Strange knock off movie which makes you wonder if the film is this bad and weird as itis then imagine just how bad and weird it would have been if they had managed to keep the rights to the character for a little bit longer as this film is still so similar to the character of Doctor Strange that Marvel and Disney could if they so wanted sue Full Moon Pictures over this film as both of characters are Doctors , both of them deal with the mystic arts and both of them have to deal with end of the world threats and while granted that last one would be stretching it a bit but when you put it with the other two it does add up to something as there really aren't that many superheroes that have a PHD and that deal with the mystic arts as well but at the same time tho if Marvel did sue them then it would mean that this rather odd film would disappear from alot of places and a film that's this weird really should be seen by people and it doesn't really effect the Marvel name in any meaningful way whatsoever.

What would have made this episode a little bit better was if we got some build up as to who it is that's actually going to travel back in time to get the next host. As as things stand in the final cut pf the episode it's something that's brought up at the start of the episode and we see nothing from it until the end of the episode whereas if it was something that was built up a little bit more during the episodes host segments then they could have made it into a running gag all throughout the episode with various guest stars popping in which gets Max and Kinga excited only for the guest star in question to turn down the offer to go back un time for whatever reason which granted would start to get old pretty quickly but at the same time tho if you did spread them out a bit it could be a cute little joke that would then build up to the big reveal at the end where we do a have a returning guest star come in and willingly go backwards in time to find the third and final host for this season which does feel a bit anticlimactic as it did start out as being something that was going to be a big part of the episode only for it to instead be something that was barely touched upon or even mentioned for the rest of the episode when you very easily could have built alot of the episodes plot around that one idea and still have the plot with the rest of the crew watching the movie play out the exact same way as the two plots don't really ever connect in the first place and so nothing plot wise would be affected as at this point in the season there not meant to connect to each other which does make you wonder why the makers of this episode chose to dedicate so little time to the seasons main plot when it's never going to connect to the actual plot of the episode.

While this was a pretty average episode at best what made this episode was it's host segments as alot of them where really good. With getting a chance to see how Emily and her bots act around each other compared to Jonah and his bots who have had more time with each other and while both Emily and Jonah are basically the same character something that the episode itself does rightfully call out at the end of the episode what makes them so different from each other is the fact that Emily really is willing to go all in with whatever her bots ask her to do for them and while the same thing could also be said for Jonah as well he is the type of character who would try to talk to them out of it first before then going along with it where as with Emily she's all in from the second that they ask her to do something which is something that I don't think we've seen in a host before now as Mike was kind of the lovable goofball type of character and Joel was their father figure as he made them and this is something that we see all throughout this episodes host segments and it's something that does make those segments be alot more entertaining then what they what they really had any right to be as on paper Tom doing the exact same speech from the movie that he just saw only to then go into a bad comedy routine could be seen as being unfunny and drawn out but because everyone just goes all in on it it makes that segment one that's really fun to watch as by all rights that segment along with alot of the other host segments in this episode could have been seen as being dull to watch but they instead end up being the highlight of the episode because of the fact that all of the episodes characters really do commit to each and every single host segment of this episode.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty six minuets and sixteen seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for this show with it really being helped by the fact that this episode really does gave more then plot there to cover that amount of running time but the issue is tho is that this episode really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't focus on the plot of them them trying to find a third host which is something that is more then strong enough to carry an entire episode and is something that could have been done without harming the plot with Emily and the bots being forced to watch a really bad movie as the plot about Kinga and Max trying to find a third host could have been the side plot of the episode and all you'd have to do is dedicate one or two host segments to it in order to fully flesh out that part of the episode and that's really it and while it's understandable that the characters aren't all that fleshed out either as the that characters are essentially meant to be us the audience it still would have been nice if the makers of this episode did take the time needed to help to flesh out Emily and her bots as characters but at the same time tho given that they have to squeeze in an entire movie and the fact that the show doesn't really flesh out it's host character there's no reason for them to start now this late in the same as it would seem jarring and unneeded as it's something that they didn't really do in the past episodes of the show nor in the movie either but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So ow then is a comedy that really does mean 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 not that bad. With this episode having alot of really funny moments in it and while it would be easy to point to any of the jokes that the make about the movie and say that that was the best joke of the episode that just wouldn't be true as while the movie does indeed make some really funny jokes about the movie in question alot of this episodes best jokes oddly come from the host segments which is weird as it's usually the other way around the scenes in the theater being more funnier then the host segments are with the best joke in this whole entire episode coming when Emily and her bots are showing off there latest invention a phone that has fully Gilbert & Sullivan songs on it and while Tom is singing about what the phone can do which is already a pretty funny idea in the first place Emily is there in the background taking pictures or everything and everyone that she sees with it being her over the top facial expressions and action that make that joke so much more funnier then what it really had any right to be and while the jokes in the theater are funny in there own there's just far to many pop culture references and not enough jokes that can stand on there own without us the audience knowing what the characters are referencing in the first place which is something that does make alot of those jokes seem unfunny where as lot of the host segments are just funny in their own right in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall where t not for the painfully funny host segments then this would be just an average episode of the show but because of the fact that the episodes hist segments are really funny with alot of the jokes in the theater still being really funny just to a much more lesser degree and the fact that Emily Marsh herself is really funny not only on this show but in this episode as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then 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 really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all pf 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 Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page , the official Mystery Science Theater 3000 fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great the official Mystery Science Theater 3000 fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Mystery Science Theater 3000 fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 "Robot Wars" Review

It's been a good few months since anything from Mystery Science Theater 3000 was covered and well then I thought that now was the right time to a look back at another episode from this show. With this episode seeing the crew cover a movie that not alot of people know about whilst also introducing something new and different for the show as a whole and so then join me as I review the episode that see's Jonah , Tom and Crow riff a movie about giant robots with the movie and episode in question being called simply just "Robot Wars" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is with the Gizmoplex in ruins and them in debt Kinga and Max get advice from there investor which will have consequences for one unlucky soul. 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 feature / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time tho this episodes plot is one that weirdly isn't given alot of focus which is something that does standout for this show as when the show does do something that advances it's plot even a little bit then it gives it alot of focus and yet with this episode it gets mentioned once at the start of the episode and is brought up again at least once more during the episode and that's really it when it's something that should have been mentioned and referenced alot more as it is something that does have a huge impact on the plot of this season and yet it felt like that it was an afterthought and while that might have worked for something that doesn't effect either the plot of the season or the plot of the show as then it could be seen as being a throwaway episode here tho it is something that does effect the plot of the season and to a lesser extent the plot of the show as a whole as well and it therefor should have been given a bit more attention just to make the plot of this episode feel a bit more fully developed then what it already is with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is this episodes director and co-writer Jonah Ray as Jonah Heston and Hampton Yount as the voice of  Crow T. Robot. Also starring in this episode is Baron Vaughn as the voice Tom Servo and Dr. Kabahl , The Guild creator and star Felicia Day as Kinga Forrester , Patton Oswalt as Max , Rebecca Hanson as GPC and Synthia , Emily Marsh as Emily Connor  and the shows creator Joel Hodgson as Ardy.

Now then as for 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 not that bad. Which is something that's to be expected from this show as alot of the actors that are in this episode aren't trained actors with there only being two trained actors in the whole episode and that's really it and as such it's from those two actors that we get some of the best acting in this episode with the acting from Jonah , Hampton and Baron being passable at best which does work out as they've been playing there character for years at this point in time with the acting from Felicia and Patton being alot better which is something that does make sense as they are trained actors and so of course there acting would be better but at the same time tho and actor can only be as good as there actor and even tho this is Jonah's first time directing anything he really doesn't know how to get that good of a performance out of his actors which is something that might improve over time as he does direct the overall majority of the episodes in this season it is something that stands out in a negative way in this episode with the acting that's in this very episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it gives none of this episodes actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

This episode does something that hasn't been done since season 5 of this show and that's introduce the character who would be a host in the next episode. With the end of this episode showing Emily arriving to help build the Simulator Of Love something that in the very net episode she'd find herself trapped on for the rest of the season and this is a good way to set up who the new host without getting rid of the previous host and it's something that does open the door for other characters to come on in and host an episode of the show and not have to get rid of whoever is hosting the show at that time as you could very easily explain that whoever the main bad guy that season is just wanted to torture someone else for a change or that the current host is busy doing something else and they'd still be able to cause someone some form of pain with this being something that really could have worked for the show moving forward since if the show wasn't able to get Jonah or any of the hosts back for future episodes they could just say that the host was already to begin with and it work either way and while we don't get much of Emily in this episode as she only appears in the final scene it is something that does show us the audience that she might just be a fun character and as we find out in the next episode is a great addition to the show as a whole as well but it does remain to be seen if she was as good of a host then Jonah was for example.

The movie that the crew are riffing in this episode is the 1993 film Robot Wars from Full Moon Pictures. With the film being the right kind of bad film that the tea behind this show always strive to find as the film does have some really solid picture and sound quality to it but at the same time tho the film is just primed to be made fun off as it is a film that really does look to be just that bad and boring with the film looking like a poor man's version of the Mad Max franchise only with slow and giant stop motion robots that do nothing for the vast majority of the film except to basically serve as a plane and transport people from A to B and that's really it and heck there's barely even a war in this film and so the one half of the films title is a lie and the other half basically not be there as the robots aren't that interesting and given how they look there's a good chance that they might have inspired the giant spider robot from the film Wild Wild West only the robots in this version did it better as they at least came up with the idea idea and have some good looking stop motion work but what really didn't work for this film is the fact that they treat one of the main characters like he's Jesus something that the crew in this episode not only point out quite alot but also take the time to make fun off a well and rightfully so as it is ridiculous but given that this film is made by Full Moon Pictures it's that kind of ridiculousness that's to be expected from all of there film as well.

To give this episode some credit it does spotlight a film that not alot of people would have heard off and while it might not make people want to go out and check the film out for themselves. It is a good thing that they did spotlight a little known film as that then could make people want to see if it's as bad as this episode makes it out to be and speaking off this episode even tho there essential to the plot of the episode both Kinga and Max are absent for a large portion of the episodes running time with the two of them only appearing at the start of the episode to st up the plot of the episode and then again at the end of the episode to set up the cliffhanger with Emily and that's rally it when they should have been in th episode more given that this episode is quite literally about them trying to find a second host and what's worse is that you could have had some good jokes with them quite literally auditioning people to be the second host which just that idea alone would have made for some really funny scenes and yet the episode instead focuses on Jonah and the bots still making skits about the movie that there watching which granted is in keeping with the rest of the show but at the same time tho there should have been a time and a place for stuff like that and given that the plot of this episode is all about introducing a new host having alot of skits with just Jonah and the bots doesn't work in this kind of episode but at the same time tho it's the host segments with Jonah and the bots that are the more fun segments of this whole entire episode with the episode being worth watching just for the host segments alone as there just that good.

Also introduced in this episode is Dr. Kabahl who is a time travelling financier from the future and he is a good addition to the show. As the show could get some milage out of his character and having him just appear out of nowhere and scare people will always be funny as it's always good and funny seeing how he interacts with people it's just a shame that the episode really doesn't anything with his character with him only appearing in the opening on this episode and that's really it when a character that has this much potential could have been given a little bit more screen time and while him having already met Max in the future is a funny idea as it does show that he does history with the character they don't really go into that history in this episode with him only mentioning that he's already met Max in the future as part of a joke and that's really it but at the same time tho his costume is a bit stupid even for this show as it's just a bunch of black clothing a giant black something on his head that is so fake that you can actually see it move during some scenes in this episode while this season really didn't have a huge budget once you remove the fact that they had to get the rights to show all of the films this season the fact that they really couldn't afford a decent looking costume for this new recurring character really does add an air of cheapness to the how as a whole as while the show was always made very cheaply they still always managed to have some really impressive costumes that made the show look more expensive then what it was something that just isn't true not only for Dr. Kabahl but for this season as well.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty three minuets and forty three seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for this show to have and while the episode really doesn't have enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time that's not really a fault of this episode as its something that could also be said for alot of this shows episodes as well and to to this episodes credit when this episode does indeed focus on it's main plot it does make it count by giving us information that is either important to the plot of this episode or important to the plot of this season as a whole but at the same time tho this episode really could have used it's running time just a little bit better by giving us either some more information of Emily or some more information on Dr. Kabahl as well either of which would have worked as there both characters who appear n multiple episodes of this season and yet at the exact same time tho it's that very reason why this episode most likely didn't give us any information on them in this episode because they do appear in more episodes and heck Emily is even the host of multiple episodes and so alot of the background information on her character does indeed come out during those episodes and those scenes would feel alot like filler in this episode as well but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean 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 not that bad as the episode does have some good jokes in it. However tho at the same time tho this episodes comedy really isn't as good as it really good been with alot of the jokes that the crew make during the movie just not being that funny or are filled with missed opportunities with alot of the episodes best jokes coming from the host segments like the fact that in one segment the bots wonder what the city in Robot Wars would look like in the nineties and Jonah straight up shows them using alot of nineties slang and catchphrases which was a really joke and was easily the best joke of the episode as it was something that really did catch you off guard and it makes you wonder why alot of the episodes jokes weren't as good as that one was and while there some clever jokes in there like the fact that Jonah and the bots event seasonings that are based off of classic romantic comedies complete with pun titles but sadly tho the episode has alot more jokes in it then it does good ones and that is something that does prevent this episode from being as funny as it really could have been but when this episode does tell a funny joke it is and could be a really funny joke as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall whilst this episode did indeed show some promise and had all of the potential to be a really good and a really funny episode of the show the fact that it lacked focus on it's plot and a lack of actually funny jokes both combine to make this episode not as good as it really could have been or even perhaps should have been either with this episode being nothing more then an above average episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as being all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 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 the official Mystery Science Theater 3000 fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 "Beyond Atlantis" Review

Mystery Science Theater 3000 is a show that shocking not alot of people know about this is despite the fact that alot of internet movies reviewers were inspired bu the show. Yet even tho the show had been on the air since the eighties it really never introduced a female host that was until season 13 of the show which gave us an actually really funny female host and so then join me as I review the episode that introduced us to a new host with the episode in question being called simply just "Beyond Atlantis" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is with the Simulator Of Love now complete new host Emily Connor is trapped inside and is forced to watch Beyond Atlantis. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented t us un 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 really good with the plot of this episode being really light on actual plot as we don't get to see Emily try to adjust to life on the Simulator Of Love outside of the opening scene but that's kind of par the course for this show as apart from really important episodes the episodes in this show never really focus all that much on actual plot development which is the same thing with this episode as well and its something that really does work well enough in this episodes favour as well with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is this episodes co-writer Emily Marsh as Emily Connor and Kelsey Ann Brady as The Voice Of Crow T. Robot. Also starring in this episode is Conor McGiffin as The Voice Of Tom Servo ,  this episodes co-writer Yvonne Freese as The Voice Of GPC , Felicia Day as Kinga Forrester , Patton Oswalt as Max , Rebecca Hanson as Synthia , this episodes director Jonah Ray as Jonah Heston , this shows creator Joel Hodgson as Ardy and Ivan Askwith as Bonesy.

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 all of the episodes actors turning in some really good performances which is really something that's not all that new as this show has always had some really good acting in it which is always surprising as all of the shows actors barring both Felicia Day and Patton Oswalt have never been professional actors and yet they manage to turn in some really good performances in all of the episodes that are in with the same thing also being true for the cast of this episode as well as they all manages to turn some really good performances as well with the acting in this episode really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so good that all this episodes cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this episode.

As was stated at the start of this review this is episode that saw the debut of Emily Connor as the seasons second of three hosts. With Emily being a really funny host as she's kind of naive in the way that the experiments work even not knowing that she's been roped in to be the new host this is despite the fact that she helped build the Simulator Of Love but at the same time she is also pretty smart as for her first invention she builds a giant pain of mech hands all by herself which does make her alot smarter then what she appears to be and it's fun seeing her interactions with her Crow and her Tom as all three are essentially the new kids on the block and as a result of that is the fact that all three of them do kind of form this family as there all trying to work all of these things out together this is despite the fact that Crow and Tom have the memories and personalities of Jonah's Crow and Tom but what let's the Emily character down is the fact that she doesn't show signs of character development she's not written as a perfect character by any stretch of the imagination but there's not alot of care and attention given to her to give her any kind of character development whatsoever. 

The film that's being featured in this episode of the show is the 1973 film Beyond Atlantis with this episode rather rightfully calling the out on how bad it is. As this is a film that does look really bad and that is something that should get called out and on top of that this is just straight up weird as it gives people really large fish eyes which is just off putting and more scary then alot of stuff scene in modern day horror films which wouldn't be a bad thing if Beyond Atlantis was aimed at a more mature audience and was a horror film but it's not it's aimed more at family's and is a family friendly horror film and yet it had this really creepy imagery in it and as a result of that is the fact that this episode gets a lot to work with just from the opening few minuets of the film itself and heck one of the recurring jokes in this episode is all about the cast of this episode trying and failing to remember which character is who because of the fact that there all so forgettable and the fact that the most memorable character in the film just so happens to really be a fairly bad person.

What was unexpected is the fact that the episode does set up something that pays off at the end of this season. With Emily giving Jonah the idea to work together to escape from the dark side of the moon and while this idea would evolve to include the third host it is something that was shocking to see set up this early on in the season and it was also shocking to se them do a call back by speaking in rhyme as the villains in this really show can't understand our hosts when they do exactly that which is something that again comes back at the end of the season of when the hosts put there plan into motion all because really of the fact that it was set up and all said in rhyme and that was a something that was shocking to see set up this early on in the season as something like that wouldn't really be set up until the episode where it happens in previous seasons and yet in alot of the Jonah seasons they would normally set things up either around the end of the season or the midway point of the season and yet here there doing it in the third episode of the season. 

What would have helped this episode was if we got to see Emily and her bots get to know each other over the course of the episode. As that is something that hadn't been seen since Mike's first episode and is something that really does work and it's something that could worked in this episode given the unique reason that they host was chosen and the fact that these bots are essentially new bots and yet when they first see each other they get along like they've met each other already and had been friends for quite a while which could have happend as Emily was a part of the team that was making the Simulator Of Love and as a result of that is the fact that it is possible that her bots could have been on board already and she could have gotten to know them then but at the same time that is something that would have made the episode alot more fun to watch and it's something that would have made this episode standout from all of the others as instead of having the bots and host get along right away we'd be seeing that friendship evolve over the course the episodes host segments and you could then end the episode with all getting along as friends.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty six minuets and twenty one seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for this show as the show has to fit in it's own plot line and an entire feature length film which is something that this episode does well as it makes very little cuts to the movie essentially showing us the movie as it was originally seen all the while still giving us a fairly entertaining plot in it's own right and while the episode would have been better if it took the tome to develop Emily or even her own version of the bots alot more then what they already do at the same time tho that would mean taking away some of the jokes in the episode and forcing in development when it's not really needed which would make all of that character development feel forced and would really drag the episode down quite alot and would ultimately make the episode very dull and boring to watch but I will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as 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 there being alot of painfully jokes made about the movie but there also being some really funny host segments as well and this is where Emily Marsh really does shine as she is a really funny person and while her jokes about Beyond Atlantis are very hit and miss that's more due to the fact that she's still getting used to making fun of a movie but when she does make a good joke it is something that does standout and is something that is really funny with her Crow and Tom also having some really funny jokes as well with there being a really funny rap about the movie at the end of episode all done because of the fact that the movie had pretty much every style of music in it except from rap which is a funny little thing to pick up on and it leads to a really funny rap song as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a really painfully funny episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 as well with it also being a really funny introductory episode for host Emily Connor as well but really at the same time as well this is an episode that really could have been alot better then really what it actually was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then 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 really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 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 ladies and gentlemen I personally got all pf the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Mystery Science Theater 3000 fandom wiki page , 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 Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 "The Mask" Review

Mystery Science Theater has introduced alot of people to alot of really bad movies alot of which would have been lost to the sands of time and forgotten about forever. The film that's covered in the episode that i'm about to review for you all today is no except as when this episode was first coming out the film that features in it was largely forgotten about with alot of people not really even knowing that this film was even thing in the first place and while this episode didn't really fix that it has somewhat slowed it down and so then join me as I review the episode that is the shows first ever halloween special with the episode in question being called simply just "The Mask" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Jonah and the bots celebrate halloween and have to try and survive the latest bad movie to be thrown at them from Kinga and max. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot thats 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 good but at the same time this episodes plot was also on the thin side of things which s a common thing for this show as more often then not unless it's a really important episode then the shows host segments don't really ave much in the ways of a plot and even in this most recent season there was very little there interms of plot in it's episode with this episode being a prime example of that as it's basically a special holiday themed episode and nothing really all the more then that with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is this episodes director and co-writer Jonah Ray as Jonah Heston and Hampton Yount as The Voice Of Crow T. Robot. Also starring in this episode is Baron Vaughn as The Voice Of Tom Servo , Felicia Day as Kinga Forrester , this episodes co-writer Patton Oswalt as Max , this episodes co-writer Rebecca Hanson as The Voice Of GPC and Mrs. Kelly , Yvonne Freese as The Skull , the shows creator Joel Hodgson as Ardy , Ivan Askwith as Bonesy and Sharyl Volpe as The Voice Of Magic Voice.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acing 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 film was in all honesty not that bad. With all of the episodes doing the est that they can do with what little that they've been given to work with as there's not really much there interms of plot for the cast to sink there teeth into and turn in that good of a performance and while the voice actors in this episode are indeed the true standouts of this episode it's the acting of the live action cast that do somewhat let the quality of the acting down a little bit just due to the fact that not alot of them have that much to do and those that do have alot just turn in average performances with the acting in this episode not really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode isn't really all that good as the script for this episode doesn't really give the cast a whole lot of two work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does bring down the overall quality of the acting that's in this episode.

As was stated at the start of this review this is the shows first ever Halloween special in the shows history. With the episode really embracing the halloween holiday with Jonah and the bots even going trick or treating complete with costumes which was a nice little touch as was the fact that the villains headquarters is filled to the brim with spider webs which they do explain away in the show in a way that does make sense but at the same time it does go along way to showing us that the makers of this episode are quite clearly having fun with this episode and celebrating the fact that it's halloween and given the amount of bad horror movies out there it makes you wonder why this show hasn't tackled any of them before now as the show really could have fun with alot of the cheesy movies from the seventies and alot of the Full Moon Features films and heck they even could have taken on some of the films from Troma Entertainment as well as all of the films from both of those studios are perfect films for this show to take on.

The film that's the main focus of this episode is of course the 1961 Canadian surrealist horror film The Mask. With the film pretty much being shown in it's entirety with there not being edited down and as a result of that we the audience get to see just how strange and weird that this film is and while the team behind this episode do make the obvious jokes of making references to the Jim Carrey film of the same name they don't really mention just how stranger and weird that this film is which is something that they really could have done as they could have gotten alot of jokes just from how strange and weird that this film was and while they do point out the fact that they don't need anyone to tell us when the film is in 3D as yes this film was a 3D film it's not something that was needed as scenes like that would most likely appear in alot of films as alot of people wouldn't know what 3D is when it comes to feature length films but what they could have done is called out just how weird and strange that this film gets as the films gets weird quickly and it only gets weirder.

In a rather odd move is that there are technically two different versions of this episode available with one being in 3D for the scenes in the film are in 3D and one that's just in standard 2D. This was a rather odd move as it basically means having to film to different versions of the scenes in the theater and editing two different versions of the episodes which would take alot of work to do and it's rather odd that the makers of this episode would do that as there's nothing really new that they could joke about in the 3D version that's in the 2D version but at the same time given that the makers of this episode now aren't bound to whatever it is that whatever network or streamer that there airing on wants them to do and as a result of that is the fact that they can now do alot of the things that they couldn't do in both seasons eleven and twelve of the show and in this case that means producing essentially two different cuts of the same episode and releasing them both at the exact same time on there very own streaming service The Gizmoplex. 

To get back to all of the good things in this episode all of this episodes host segments are some really fun parts of the episode. With the cast quite clearly having a blast in all f those segments and just going with and embracing the pure madness of this film with them even showing what trick or treating might be like for Jonah and the bots in this episode which does lead to the most fun and possibly even funniest part of the non theater segments of this episode with even Max getting in on the costume fun which does go to show you that even tho he's a villain on the show he's still like all of us a big kid at heart but on the flip side of the of is the fact that alot of the host segments in this episode don't really go into that much detail on the Halloween holiday with alot of them just basically covering the same stuff that you'd expect a kid to know about Halloween which does in someways make sense as Jonah most likely doesn't know all that much about Halloween but it still would have been nice to see them explain some of the other halloween traditions and not just the most popular one.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of one hour and thirty four minuets and fifty four seconds. Which is the bogstandard running time for this show to have and to this episodes while it doesn't alot of plot there to really cover that large amount of running time it does make the best use of that running time by giving us alot of the shows signature host segments alot of which are all really fairly entertaining and by giving us alot of host segments alot of the characters alot of really funny scenes alot of which would have most likely have been pushed to the side to make room for the plot which in away does make sense as well but this is a comedy and there for the focus should be more fifty fifty and thankfully that's not really an issue for this episode tho this is despite the fact that the episode had more then enough running time there to justify pushing the seasons plot of the now three hosts planning to make an escape but I will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as 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 the episode having alot of really funny moments alot of which do come from the episodes host segments as we get to see the characters just having fun like at the start of the episode we see Jonah , Crow , Tom and GPC telling each other scary stories but because they could have to end the story at any second there only telling each other the end of the story which is really a funny joke as is the fact that nobody really gets that Jonah's costume is that of actor Tom Atkins which is funny but it's also something that gets old really quickly but alot of the shows best jokes do really come from the jokes that Jonah and the bots make about the movie in the theater in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a really decent episode of the show as it does give what is basically a forgotten horror film the chance to become a cult classic and it is fun seeing the Mystery Science Theater 3000 characters celebrate halloween in the only way that they know how and that is something that really does make this episode really fun to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all f 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 really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now the 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 . 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 Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
