Mystery Science Theater 3000: SOULTAKER Rewatch

September 5, 2019 10:43 AM - Season 10, Episode 1

Rewatch! What awaits us after we die? If this movie is to be believed, we end up inside little rings such as the kind Sonic the Hedgehog collects, ferried back and forth through the afterlife by glorified deliverymen in black suits, overseen by the fearsomely-chinned Robert Z'Dar. A classic Season 10 episode, both for the ridiculous movie and for cameo appearances by both TV's Frank and Joel Hodgson, last seen in 624 and 512 respectively. Previously.

It's time (that is, it's Thursday night) for MST Club, at https://cytu.be/r/Metafilter_MST3KClub! Each week we watch an episode of MST3K (when possible, that week's posted episode), and assorted other things as well! The show starts at 7 PM Eastern time (4 PM Pacific), with the episode happening at 9 PM Eastern (6 PM Pacific). I hope you can make it!

This was a fun one. Off-brand Emilio Estevez!

That bit with the girl in the tub is really off-putting.

Thank you for spacing out the Joe Estevez movies even though they were ranked the same. I'm not sure we could handle them back-to-back.
