January 1993, I got the flu and was the sickest I have ever been. After a week and a half in bed, I dragged myself to the TV room of the boarding house where I lived and put a tape laying on the table into the VCR. This episode of a show I had never seen began to play, and I was glad that no one had put me out of my misery.
At 12:43, Joel's quote, "Pound pastrami, can kraut, six bagels, bring home for Emma," is from Walter M. Miller's outstanding, Hugo Award-winning, 1960 science-fiction novel, "A Canticle for Liebowitz." You have to love the depth of nertitude on MST3K.
A Canticle for Liebowitz is 100% dope AF w/legs and strong cultural influence in perpetuity. I mean, the wildly popular and deeply worthwhile Fallout game franchise alone stands as a massive representation of how salient Miller's ACfL is not to mention its massive influence on all post-apocalyptic fiction that followed. Miller was the sh-t and his ACfL books are brilliant. Btw, A Canticle for Liebowitz doesn't require quotations as it's a novel as opposed to, say, a short story, But, yeah. Um....Walter Miller High rules! (Bonus points awarded and the secret "Gypsy's Fallout Shelter" level unlocked if you recognized the not-so-obscure film reference).
One thing I really love about all these old sci fi movies. The aliens all speak English, and use the same standards of measurements and directions as we did at the time.
Why can't aliens just figure it out? Do you want to look like humans or not? Is going to be speaking English or just a bunch of roaring? Come on! Geeze! Just make up your mind already.
@@johnbyrd7400 According to the movie, the inhabitants of Jupiter's 13th moon aren't aliens; they're humans who emigrated there from Atlantis (somehow) in the distant past. And if they've been monitoring Earth's radio transmissions, there's no reason why they couldn't have learned English. That's the LEAST of this movie's problems!
@@graemesmith6721 Not to mention, these "astronauts" manage to land on this satellite of Jupiter without knowing it's diurnal cycle or the speed of its spin, since they had to question its day-and-night cycle openly after landing; I'm somewhat curious how they've managed to avoid Jupiter's deadly radiation, how they manage to get so much warmth and light, being so far from the sun. Considering how hard it is to find Earth like planets, and the fact that we have failed to discover any yet, it seems remarkable that a satellite of a neighboring planet in such a condition would just happen to have the right conditions for life. Also, where is Atlantis? Where exactly was it located? Why is it not mentioned in any history? What language did they speak originally?And why do they all look Norwegian? And why do they choose to live in abandoned star trek props? I am confused, and feel stupider than ever.
It's just amazing that this movie only had a budget of $128.13. If they only spent another $1.49 I'm sure it would have won an Oscar for best movie made for under $130.00.
This movie was actually filmed in full color, but because the studio was filled with a permanent haze of cigarette smoke it only appears to be black and white.
@@bhollins3556 According to MST3K lore this is because, when they filmed the very first episode, Joel hadn't slept in four days. He kept the mannerisms throughout the show.

My First MST3k episode I ever saw, back in 2007 when in was 9. It has a special place in my heart, I've built replicas of both Tom Servo Crow T. Robot, hopefully Gypsy, eventually I'll build Timmy.

11:56 for the TRULY ASTONISHING scene of the secretary's famous endless arrival followed soon after by the secretary's famous equally long LEAVETAKING. This scene baffles me more than any idiocy in Plan 9.
I'm more than a little certain that was titillation. In the days of the Hays Code, focusing on the woman's legs for that long is the equivalent of a cleavage shot. You'll notice that the camera seems very focused on the maidens' legs throughout the film
@@無教会内村 Those were long mid calf length early fifties skirts and I don't think ankles have turned men on since 1890. This length skirt was THE ugliest creation of women's wear in the century.
@@無教会内村 Fire Maidens was a British film, and therefore not subject to the Hayes Code. However, Cy Roth was an American and it was intended for distribution in both the US and the UK, so they may have kept it within the Hayes Code's restrictions in order to placate their American distributors, because God forbid they offend the delicate, puritanical sensibilities of Middle America!
I love that the little girl Ashley, who wrote the fan letter, was Joel's guest for Turkey Day 2015. It would be neat if they did a few more of those next year.
As a sci-fi luvvin' kid, I growled at this 🤬 of a movie, and felt totally ripped off by the "monster". Nearly two decades later, MST3K ripped it a new one, and it felt like Chet getting his comeuppance in Weird Science.
That whole secretary scene when she comes down the stairs in what seemed like hours just stay downstairs for a few seconds of note taking, only to then that another five hours to walking up the stairs had me rolling. Capping it with the 'knee to the groin' joke, and I was gone!
They edited out the part where she walks on the glass walled ramp above the steps: "she's not wearing underwear". with the reply: "That means it's Thursday in England".
I gotta give it to Jef Maynard and Trace Beaulieu. Trace because he directed those fantastic host segments and was great as Crow as always, and Jef because he did some DAMN GOOD PUPPETEERING as... TIMMY.
It's like they knew how painful the movie is and came up with the Timmy stuff so the audience wouldn't fall asleep. You wouldn't think a silent Crow double moving around the theater would be so creepy, but it is.
Fire Maidens of Outer Space -- a truly nothing flick. The monster's head wasn't bad looking when under-exposed, but the thermal underwear outfit is said to have kept the film from being nominated for best costume design. The space ship was really roomy for a V2 rocket. The film also made space travel look and feel about as complicated as driving to Wal-Mart. These are the sort of things that happen when a producer is too cheap to hire someone like Werner von Braun as a technical advisor. I got the distinct impression that a tobacco company may have helped sponsor this film. The twin-screw controller that operated everything on the ship actually compelled the Screen Actor's Guild to make a rule revision that required a minimum of two props per film -- proof that good things can and do come from bad.
The artificial gravity was remarkably effective too. In those days nobody thought about acceleration either, how a rocket would have to flip over in order to decelerate and straps would have to be used to hold astronauts _down_ ... Not to mention that they had to "guess" the rotation of the moon because: why would you have to know that to land on it?!?

Cali Gamer Monster A Go Go makes Manos look like the Godfather II. The production company that financed that should be shot for wasting that money in such an irresponsible way.
Monster a Go-Go is in a class by itself, though. Can you even really consider it a movie? I feel like it knocked the bottom out of moviedom and entered some other art form where it was among the best of its kind. AKA the "So Bad It's Good" Phenomenon.
Gotta love it--they're all sitting on ordinary kitchen stools, no deeply cushioned seats that can cushion their bodies during high G forces; they're way out in deep space with no space suits and helmets, therefore no oxygen; there's no sign of any kind of flight instruments---only in 1950's sci-fi movies 😄.
I gotta say, Timmy has to be one of the *creepiest* characters in MST3K. Not only does he have the mentality of a xenomorph, but he somehow managed to freak out Magic Voice. And then there's the parts where he just shows up in the theatre. He's just standing there.... MENACINGLY!

24:33 "Take her down, Skipper, we're in the satellites atmosphere." "Shut up Gilligan, I'm the Skipper here!"
This has got to be one of the best mistie episodes ever !
I can't believe how much I'm in London. Really, really London...
This actually was filmed in the UK, they just chose terrible cheap-to-film-at locations.
Melissa Warner 😁😁
@@elizabethhogan1610 So that's why the telescope is in the bus station.
"I question the relevance of this scene." Perfect.
This movie was so bad! I loved every scene! I loved our three guy's smart comments!
Janet Craft agreed 👻
1:11:33 "Fire walk with me" Joel says during the liturgical dance scene. A Twin Peaks reference.
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was released in August 1992. This episode, November 1992.
It was a quote from the series too though.
"Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chants out between two worlds...
Fire... Walk with me.
Joel was the best host for people who get a lot of references, but Mike was better for most everybody else. I'd say they're about equal due to those qualities.
@@BigPuddin Mike was your classic “every man,” Joel was… Joel. Of course that’s partly why Mike could do so many impressions and why Joel was always Joel. I love them both as hosts. I’m glad they’re both still out there riffing.
Timmy, everyone's favorite mute sociopathic neighborhood droid! Get yours today!
Need a silent sentinel to WATCH your baby sleep peacefully in the crib?
Want a companion that ALWAYS listens?
He's just like your closest pal, EXCEPT with the benefit of unquestioning, black, soulless, eyes!!
Bored of uneventful evenings? WORRY NO LONGER! A void in Timmy's programming gives him the urge to call you at random times of the night, and breathe ominously through the phone! EXCITEMENT!
Have you ever needed encouragement to take self-defense courses? WORRY NOT! Timmy's constant stalking will provide endless encouragement!
BUY YOURS TODAY!!
How much?!
Simon Walter
$1000 (plus tax and S&H. Visa and Mastercard are accepted)
However, there is no warranty and the company is not liable for any murders your Timmy may commit.
Is there some type of thing that makes Timmy calm down or something?
I'll take one... Million
In light of current video game developments, I now conqur that Timmy is the very origin for the FNAF animatronics. ;)
Y'know, I've been watching these guys over 30 years & I've gotta confess, I'm guilty of the "yea, I know that episode" or "pre-judging" whether "I'll like THIS episode as well as THAT one.", etc. This is one I've never really given much of a chance & it's hilarious! (1st 13 minutes had me rolling ... @ 13:22: "huh, huh...allow me to knee you right in the groin, Bob!" These guys are an American Classic, indeed! Thanks MST3k Duders!
"Cy Roth, shame on you." sums this movie up better than anything I could think to say...
This is one horrible....HORRIBLE movie..... I LOVE IT!
12:46. Like the reference to "A Canticle for Leibowitz"
This has to be one of my favourite MST3k episodes.
"Quickly? In _THIS_ film?? I don't think so!"
"Lets all watch it on the speaker."
19:36.
LMAO!!!!!
I love the nod to "It's a wonderful life," as Dr. Forrester shakes T.V.s Frank!
or the 'dum, dum, dum dum dum, dum" of Nancy Sinatra's "Boots"
"I thought I saw something move."
"Well, it sure wasn't us. "
*machine whines
"Sounds like Mariah Carey."
Young people, take note of the size of the seats and the roominess of the plane. This is from the days when airlines actually gave a flying f--k about passenger comfort and not just the almighty dollar.
But the price of a ticket was 5x as now.
@@naturesinterface6663 So what? It kept bums off of planes. I wish they'd go back to props. You could smoke on a plane then.
@@mikezylstra7514 somehow that aint a turn on to me for flying...a cabin filled wth 2nd hand smoke
@@davidschwartz6380 First off, the cabins apparently had controlled air flow, secondly, I never heard anybody complaining. I guess it was a different day.
Fun fact: Fire Maidens of Outer Space is actually on Blu-ray right now. Not sure if I would get it though.
Cy Roth: the Hideo Kojima of bad 50s movies (at least as far as credits are concerned).
Does that lingering look at the secretary going down then up the stairs count as special effects?
I was waiting for the remark "She's not wearing underwear!"
In this movie, yes!
actually it's the only scene I watch this movie for (I don't know why...)
the boys held back on this one,imagine if this was adult channel----loolollolololololololo
The dance sequence with the girls towards the end is absolutely gold.
The structures that constituted London in this movie went on to portray Honolulu in Codename: Diamond Head.
This movie looks like an Oscar winner compared to Monster A Go Go. And analogkid01...thanks to your uploads I can get through my work day. If you take this channel down, I may lose my job...
Cali Gamer Monster A Go Go makes Manos look like the Godfather II. The production company that financed that should be shot for wasting that money in such an irresponsible way.
Monster a Go-Go is in a class by itself, though. Can you even really consider it a movie? I feel like it knocked the bottom out of moviedom and entered some other art form where it was among the best of its kind.
AKA the "So Bad It's Good" Phenomenon.
Half the budget was the 50 foot ladder to the "spaceship."
There is only one good thing I can say about this movie: it's great for when you can't sleep at night.
You are correct, sir (or madam)!
During the popcorn..eerrrrr meteor shower I was hoping for a David Bowie reference, LOL
The same image occurs in a number of these movies. I call it The Fiddle Faddle Belt.`I think it was put in to increase popcorn sales.
Apparently they make spaceships with drywall interiors. And they hang pictures of radar screens on the wall.
09:22 "Keep left! ON THE LEFT!!! DICKWEED!!!!" XD
Gotta love it--they're all sitting on ordinary kitchen stools, no deeply cushioned seats that can cushion their bodies during high G forces; they're way out in deep space with no space suits and helmets, therefore no oxygen; there's no sign of any kind of flight instruments---only in 1950's sci-fi movies 😄.
36:47 "...either these drapes go or we do." 😂
I gotta say, Timmy has to be one of the *creepiest* characters in MST3K. Not only does he have the mentality of a xenomorph, but he somehow managed to freak out Magic Voice.
And then there's the parts where he just shows up in the theatre. He's just standing there.... MENACINGLY!
