Mystery Science Theater 3000: ROBOT MONSTER Rewatch

March 26, 2020 7:44 AM - Season 1, Episode 7

Rewatch! We're baaaack.... A alien invader (guy in a gorilla suit with a fishbowl on his head) called Ro-Man destroys everyone on Earth except for a family that lives in walking distance of his cave (which has a bubble machine in front of it). The family tries to thwart Ro-Man's attempt to wipe them out, until Ro-Man gets a crush on the family's teenage daughter. At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? In the end it's all a dream had by a comic-addled young boy. Up until this point MST had shown bad movies, but this was the first truly transcendent example they did. Some have called it the worst movie ever made. Enjoy! Also has two Radar Men From the Moon shorts. Previously

MST Club continues to show internet things with episodes and other riffmatter when Club shows are not running, so drop by whenever! This week's show begins at 7 PM Eastern time as usual, at https://cytu.be/r/Metafilter_MST3KClub.

In an uncertain world, the certainty of riffs on thursday nights is a respite that is well appreciated! Salute rodneylives!

It is! The movie really helps elevate it, in its way.

It's a pity they didn't do this around season 4 or 5.
