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.
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.
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 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 don't care about food or air, but how did Mike get his hands on Joel's hand-made robots? Inquiring minds desperately needs to know. I'll make a review video about all the plot holes if not.

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.
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.
“Flag on the moon… How did it get there?” “Pictures of the moon… What do they mean?”
The flag has been bleached. Aliens think 🌎 has surrendered.

Thank you MST3K for bringing back this classic!
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?

That Puerto Rico segment with the "wakka chucca" guitars kept me looking at every scene for Mitchel to come out.
or joe don as geronimo in final justice! but this isn't malta you can tell because the men are... oh damn, sorry old habits die hard

@@TrebizondMusic-cm6fp I spent my childhood in PR during the time of the short.
”Flag on the moon” really gets a lot of traction. How many other times is it referenced? In RiffTrax too?

That's beautiful.

"Youre out of TOUCH...and we *hate* you." is a line my dad and i use on each other constantly
Ah progress island!
The short before the movie is GOLDEN. “Can you have your slave press my suit?”
Flag on the moon....... PROGRESS!

Profound.

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.

Touch a button...things happen...(sometimes)...a scientist becomes a beast. 🤔😆
That sound skipping at 12:38 isn't in the original episode -- encoding error?
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!
PROGRESS!
GAMBLING!
A CENTURY AGO!
32:11 porn in the 50’s was weird.
I have nostalgia for the Progress Island USA short because I lived in PR during the late 70's.
I hope the healing process is still ongoing…
Hilarious classic 😂
1:06:42 Ironically, Prange Way would close all stores within just a few months of this episode airing.
Getting to appreciate the unJoelas.
Sylvester Stallone saw Crow's plea and pivoted to streaming.
An American Democracy..... would be really great.
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.
“This place looks like Yucca Flats after the blast!” Alice Kramden
The best part of this MST3K episode was Frank getting slapped by Dr. F.
It's his Benjamin Franklin sleep paralysis demon again.
The anime countdown at the beginning of the stream was sick
Watch out for snakes!
Flag on the moon.
Rowsdower?
Rowsdower? Rowsdower! Rowsdower...
Ok... I watched this... but I'm still not sure what it was all about. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No one in this movie is all that upset over being killed or finding dead bodies tbh
Whoever thought the Westworld reference would become relevant again?
Nose wheel feels mushy😂

You forgot your complimentary stick

Boomers could put $3 in the bank each week for four years and have enough to buy a car. But sure, it's our avocado toast spending holding us back.
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.
I don't care about food or air, but how did Mike get his hands on Joel's hand-made robots?
Inquiring minds desperately needs to know. I'll make a review video about all the plot holes if not.
There's an episode where Mike and Joel accidentally switch places
@@CJVS995 Really?

@@LateralTwitlerLTJoel left the bots on the satellite, Mike was sent up with a subterfuge by the mads. That's it.
18:07 - 18:09 😂
My goodness this movie was boring.
Impossible to watch without the riffs.
Pretty bad😊
