I spent a couple of years in Puerto Rico in the late 90s and yes, there were American fast food places everywhere - including Taco Bell. The Taco Bells had signs in them explaining what tacos were.
This episode is a great example of the magic of MST3K. They take this truly miserable movie and make it funny! They really do help guide you through it!
I reckon I am not one of those people who pay enough attention to give you an answer, but they got a bunch of running gags from MST3K and RiffTrax they sprinkle in.
Francis died in California on January 15, 1973, at the age of 53. The official cause of death, Cardoza says Francis' body was found in the back of a station wagon at the Vine Street Ranch Market with "a plastic bag over his head and a tube going into his mouth or around his throat". Oh boy, that's pretty depressing 😅
80% of this movie is the narrator speaking in a monotone while the music tries to convince the viewers YES SOMETHING EXCITING IS HAPPENING DAMMIT!!!11!!ONEONE!!
I can't emphasize enough how much I enjoy the jarring, non-sequitur laden narration of Coleman Francis' movies. I presume it wasn't deliberate, but for me it makes everything more cryptic and bizarre. 🇺🇸 on the🌛.
OMG, so there really is a beast from Yucca flats movie? 😅😅😅😅 I watched an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies when they bought a studio and one of the directors was doing a movie with the same title and they had to turn it into a western because they thought it would please Jed and Granny. They put cowboy hat on that monster and the way Jed and Granny reacted was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i really, truly love the evolution of "the invention exchange is that the movie really sucks" sketch getting more and more abstract, first it was just "rock climbing" and then it became "DEEP HURTING" with *saaaaaanddstooooooormmmm* in hercules against the moon men, and then Hypno-Helio-Static-Stasis powered by X4 in radar secret service, and now in this one it became a political campaign... kinda poignant if you.. dont think about it that hard

I think this and wild world of Batman are the worst movies featured on MST3K, but I think batwoman is the worst of the two. Yucca Flats is the definition of “didn’t give a shit” and with batwoman it’s like everyone was purposely trying to make a bad movie and rubbing it in our faces.
It's his Benjamin Franklin sleep paralysis demon again.
Thank you MST3K for bringing back this classic!
“Flag on the moon… How did it get there?” “Pictures of the moon… What do they mean?”

That Puerto Rico segment with the "wakka chucca" guitars kept me looking at every scene for Mitchel to come out.

Francis Coleman literally said he didn’t care if his movies were good. It was all about money. (At least he was honest.)
Isn't it Corman that said that?
I like Coleman Francis 🎬. They're middle o'nowhere crazies well expressed!
Oh so he’s like Michael Bay in a way? 😁
I think Jerry Warren, the director of Wild World of Batwoman said the same thing
Making it or spending it?
The short before the movie is GOLDEN. “Can you have your slave press my suit?”
Truly the best financial advice: simply force another human being to work for you without pay.
This episode is a great example of the magic of MST3K. They take this truly miserable movie and make it funny! They really do help guide you through it!
"They got it all mixed up, they killed the briefcase and got Javorsky"
The narration gives the same energy as Shatner talk-singing lyrics.
His rendition of Rocket Man was decent.
@@BubbaThaumaturge I can only recall WS's "Lucy in the Sky w/ Diamonds cover, which was.....decent. WS's singing is better than Leonard Nimoy's.
@@raygiordano1045Shatner said Nimoy was a better singer than him in the documentary, For the Love of Spock.

I have nostalgia for the Progress Island USA short because I lived in PR during the late 70's.
”Flag on the moon” really gets a lot of traction. How many other times is it referenced? In RiffTrax too?

"Youre out of TOUCH...and we *hate* you." is a line my dad and i use on each other constantly
Flag on the moon....... PROGRESS!
As awful as this movie is, this is easily one of my favorite episodes. The riffs are gold and Tor is always great to see, even in a movie this bad.
EVERY movie he has been in is bad! REALLY bad!
Even though I mostly grew up on the SciFi Channel era run of the show, this is an amazing episode by any era's standards.
I always love how Mike is with Crow and Servo. He is like a dad trying to watch his kids alone while the wife is away visiting her sister.
Ah progress island!
PROGRESS!
GAMBLING!
A CENTURY AGO!

I swear when my ma gave me a talk about budgeting she used phrases from this verbatim

26:34 Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) factory in Puerto Rico making PDP 8/e computers.
That sound skipping at 12:38 isn't in the original episode -- encoding error?
The money segment was like a last chance to make someone think about if they really wanna waste their money to see Beast of Yucca Flats
1:24:30 -- Tor fooled them by being in the FAMILY GUY death position, so they would think he's dead.
I hope the healing process is still ongoing…
You forgot your complimentary stick
That Sylvester Stallone driveby is so much more cathartic now. Wonder if that's why they waited until now to post this one.
32:11 porn in the 50’s was weird.
The anime countdown at the beginning of the stream was sick
An American Democracy..... would be really great.
Getting to appreciate the unJoelas.
1:06:42 Ironically, Prange Way would close all stores within just a few months of this episode airing.
The best part of this MST3K episode was Frank getting slapped by Dr. F.
Hilarious classic 😂
Oh look it’s the same house in Money Talks and What to do on a date. Amazing they didn’t use the same actors.
Sylvester Stallone saw Crow's plea and pivoted to streaming.
I fully support FAPS
I'm sorry what was Crow's organization at 1:12:00 called 👀
Whoever thought the Westworld reference would become relevant again?
Watch out for snakes!
Flag on the moon.
Nose wheel feels mushy😂
No one in this movie is all that upset over being killed or finding dead bodies tbh
I think this is Cinematic Anti Matter. There is BUPKIS in this “Movie”

Impossible to watch without the riffs.
Pretty bad😊
