The new MST3K Netflix original has been released and I decided to expose myself to some of the old episodes available for streaming on Hulu and Netflix (there is a different random selection on each platform). Whether it is Joel or Mike watching these awful movies with the bots I do not envy the torture they are put through. Their snarky comments add some entertainment value, but my ratings are based on the movie's quality itself and not the extra material broadcast from the satellite of love. Mid 90s contemporary with the Mike Nelson era of MST3K itself. Older bad movies have a nostalgic quality. They were doing the best they could with VERY limited resources. Video equipment was more available to the masses (this was still before everyone had access to digital tools), but skill and resources are still in limited supply. A movie like this that is so bad in every respect just makes me sad. This is an episode that I had to skip through. I could only skim through this mess with a grandpa (Borgnine) telling his grandson of Merlin's shop, which then splits into two other creepy, hacked plots.
