Play MST for Me (and the extended MST universe)

In the not too distant ... er um not too long ago, Letterboxd used to have Mystery Science Theater 3000 titles available for logging and review.
Because tmdb doesn't list them anymore, they've been removed from Letterboxd and so a whole whack of films and fun went away.

It was handy (Jam Handy, even?) for me to log and rate them separately from the original film. Coz watching plain old 50's B-movie "Teenagers From Outer Space" isn't nearly as enjoyable or rewatchable as the MST version - if you dig that sorta thing. And there's no way in hell I can sit through "The Wild World Of Batwoman" without Mike and the Bots.

So, DO WHAT I DO.

This is…

Some good riffs and host segments save this episode from being a real slog.


-Waiter! Waiter! We’ll have the Buddha Delight, pronto!


(Servo sings over the title music)

Fu manchu-uuu

A real bad man with a plan thats foo-ooo

Hes the clown in robe stands about seven foot two-ooo.


-Come on we cant keep making fun of the names, get on with it!


-Oh no Bob Hope is killing people!


-Hello, we are your new neighbours, may we borrow some pesto?


-Bob Hope IS “The Mechanic”!


“She fights like a man.”

-But she breaks just like a little girl


-You know cutting it faster doesnt make it any more exciting!


(Close up of a ticking clock)

-Yes we know how long this movie’s been on, don’t rub it our faces!


-Suzie Wong was arraigned in Los Angeles County Court for impersonating Marlo Thomas.


-Oh great, he’s the only one who knows the plot and he’s dying.


- Who timed this print, Stevie Wonder?


(Assassins creep through field of tall grass)

-It’s like the ninja version of Days Of Heaven
