Mystery Science Theater 3000: THE CORPSE VANISHES Rewatch

March 12, 2020 2:50 AM - Season 1, Episode 5

Rewatch! Bela Lugosi plays a mad scientist who extracts brain juice from young brides to keep his wife young, because that's a thing that works. Come on, if it did Trump would be trying to suck it out of people's heads with a drinking straw. Both this and the previous movie are among the oldest films MST ever did, made in 1942. There's another Commando Cody short too, and some classic sketches, such as the robots saying bedtime prayers and the haircut bit. Previously

The problem I have with a lot of the really old movies is I have a hell of a time deciphering the dialogue.

OPEN FOR CONSIDERATION -- opening MST Club room to people isolating socially for Coronavirus. I mean, it already shows Rifftrax 24/7 when we're not doing a show, but maybe offering something more curated? Should I take this to Talk?
