Mystery Science Theater 3000: DEVIL DOLL Rewatch

April 21, 2022 4:14 PM - Season 8, Episode 18

Rewatch! Dr. Vorelli is a real piece of work. He's a sinister hypnotist who performs on stage in front of audiences, but seems to hate it. He hates puppets but has one in his act. But it turns out the puppet is actually a person who's mind he's put into a ventriloquist dummy somehow. He taunts him mercilessly for some reason, dangling hopes of forbidden ham before him. It's not clear why. I guess evil is its own reward? On and about the SOL, Pearl and company are still in Roman times, looking for Bobo. Previously.

The world of this movie is some sort of alternate reality where ventriloquists are respected artists
