Netflix

1201 - Mac and Me [1988]


       

A young boy befriends an alien and they bond over their shared love for family, Coca-Cola, and impromptu dance parties at McDonalds.

The last half hour is a riot with riffs being delivered at a breakneck pace that had me rolling with laughter. Very funny stuff - Doc.

1202 - Atlantic Rim [2013]

aka From the Sea

       

When giant monsters crawl out of the Atlantic Ocean and attack the Eastern Seaboard the US Government is forced to trust a trio of mischievous soldiers, specialized in piloting gigantic robots, to defend America.

The first movie riffed by MST3K that was produced in the 21st century. The Asylum is known for making incredibly bad knockoffs of big films with ultra-low budgets. This was their answer to Pacific Rim, obviously.

1203 - Lords of the Deep [1989]


     

America's first self-contained undersea laboratory is the pride of the nation, and expectations are high for an elaborate undersea mining operation. What wasn't expected was the inhabitants of an undiscovered world.

This film, directed by Mary Ann Fisher, was the first female directed film riffed on MST3K.

1204 - The Day Time Ended [1979]


       
Aliens visit the solar-powered house of a middle-class family, and they find themselves subjected to glowing pyramids, tiny naked alien ballerinas, stop-motion monsters eating each other, floating vacuum cleaners that disintegrate things and time travel! I have solar panels. Should I be concerned?

Just finished watching this and it was one of the best episodes I've ever seen. The movie itself is entertaining because of it's incredible mix of so many bizarre sci fi concepts that it inspires Jonah and the bots to perform a hilarious tune about it in one of the host segments. 5 stars on this one. - Doc

1205 - Killer Fish [1979]


       


Jewel thieves attempt to recover treasure from piranha infested waters. Mistrust and betrayals happen amongst the gang in the quest for gold.

1206 - Ator [1982]

aka Ator, the Fighting Eagle

       

The son of Torren learns of his heritage, goes to avenge the deaths of his fellow villagers, and rescue his sister/love interest from the evil Dakkar and his spider cult, which includes zombie soldiers and hideous witches. Sounds like a typical Saturday night.

This would be the last episode of the Netflix era. MST3K would return 4 years later with their own website, Gizmoplex, and a season 13!
