MST3K: Pod People: Best Brains/ Rhino Video
Rating: Unrated

Over the course of the history of cinema, there have been many epic and monumental films created. Movies that touched our hearts, inspired thought, terrified us,...

Pros: A smart, clever movie packed with laughs.
Cons: If you don't like people talking during the movie, this is not for you.

The idea of the show is so simple, yet so ingenious: to make fun of unwatchable movies and, in doing this, turn them into the most enjoyable pieces of cinema. That is what Mystery Science Theater 3000 is all about. Turning coal into diamonds. Turning the...

Pros: Hilarious running commentary!
Cons: The movie featured might be too horrible for some to handle.

(Taken from my MST3K Review review) It's E.T. meets The Evil Dead in my favorite bad movie on Mystery Science Theater 3000: Pod People!. Reading mythology expert Joseph Campbell's Hero With A Thousand Faces, Campbell ...

Pros: Decent episode(some call it one of the best). Quirky host segments.
Cons: I find the movie insufferable. What ethnic is the kid?

Imagine yourself in the early 1980's. Rap was just reclaiming it's hold on the market as it had in the late 70's. Studio 54 is the PLACE TO BE. John Lennon performs at the 1982 Superbowl halftime show. Everyone got doped up and voted for Carter. E.T....

Pros: It's Mystery Science Theater, what else do you need to know ?
Cons: Not as funny as I expected!

You know, from the first time I saw MST3K on Comedy Central [actually I think it was originally called "ha" or something like that] I was hooked!

The show was never better than when the original writer, creator and host Joel...

Pros: ,memorable lines, Trace Beaulieu as Crow
Cons: none

This is one of my favourite MST3K episodes. It's chock full of zingers and witticisms you'll be using on your friends for years to come!

The film begins by introducing us to a strange alien creature that looks part "Snufflupagus" and...

Pros: Hilarious
Cons: nothing

I have been an avid watcher of Mystery Science Theater 3000 since I first beheld it's beauty about 6 or 7 years ago. I rented this tape because I had seen the rest of the episodes that were in my local Blockbuster. This quickly became my second favorite...

Pros: Excellent riffing,and host segments.
Cons: none that I can think of

When I first saw Pod People I was(in the immortal words of forrest_rice) rolling on the floor with laughter!!! This episode was soooooooooo hilarious!! I couldn't stop laughing! Now that that's cleared up,here's the plot for Pod People. One night 3 ...

Pros: Funny
Cons: Movie itself is really bad... but that's the point!

Pod People is easily one of the best Joel-era MST3K episodes. From the little femme kid to the guy w/ the "I'm A Virgin" t-shirt to the stop motion animation courtesy of Trumpy's powers, this episode provides plenty of laughs.

The...

Pros: If you like MST3K, you'll love this.
Cons: If you don't like MST3K, this probably isn't for you.

Pod People, one of those few movies that you can truly say has no redeeming quality in and of itself, is brought to life by the comedic genius of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Journey with MST3K regulars Joel, Tom Servo, and Crow through this cinematic...
