Mystery Science Theater 3000: ROCKET ATTACK USA Rewatch

May 6, 2020 12:40 PM - Season 2, Episode 5

Rewatch! On Sunday: There are two parts to this. The first part follows spies deep in the Soviet Union trying to gain information on and prevent a nuclear attack on New York. That fails, leading to the second part, which is about New York getting hit by a nuclear missile. A transparently fearmongering piece of propaganda, this is one of those films that's not just terrible but made the world a worse place just by existing. Fortunately, it makes for a pretty good riff target, if you can get past how upsetting the story is. There's no happy ending here, folks. Previously.

Sunday's show begins at 7 PM and takes place at https://cytu.be/r/Metafilter_MST3KClub.

I always felt sorry for the camera operators on this one.
