Mystery Science Theater 3000: THE MAGIC SWORD
January 7, 2016 12:08 AM - Season 4, Episode 11 - Subscribe

"SEE the Green Fire Demons! SEE the 25-Foot Tall Ogre! SEE the Beautiful Vampire Woman! SEE the Boiling Crater of Death!" Lodac the Sorcerer has trouble finding a pet store that carries Dragon Chow, so he finds natural prey for it. Young George, a socially-awkward teen who's spent his whole life in a cave taken care of by witch Estelle Winwood, resolves to help protect the local princess population. The general consensus is that this is not a bad movie by MST standards. I concur; it's rather fun in a fairytale kind of way. Director Bert I. Gordon did good this time, and Basil Rathbone as the evil wizard helps to elevate things too. YouTube (1h33m). Premiered September 29, 1992. See comments for new information about our weekly showings....

I get Estelle Winwood mixed up with Agnes Moorhead, who wasn't in Bewitched, but was in Citizen Kane.

MST3K Club meets (most) every week to watch the episode covered in the episode posts. Generally this is at 9PM US Eastern Time, Thursday evenings, in a room at sync-video.com.

BUT THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN

We have had problems getting people synced up properly over at sync-video before, and these issues came to a head a couple of weeks ago at the Christmas Marathon. So we are pulling up stakes and resettling over at the website cytu.be!

The time is the same, it's just the place that's different. The NEW location for the "official" MST3K Club showings (which BTW are not at all sponsored by Best Brains, Shout Factory or Metafilter) are at:

I hope to see you there!
