The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 12: Well-Oiled Machine.

This week we cover the 1st (and Last) Annual Academy of Robot's Choice Awards Special, saluting the Oscar nominees of 1997. And by saluting I mean providing scathing commentary. "Mrs. Brown" will somehow be riffed. Al Gore will be lightly teased. Tiny robot puppets will be outfitted with cute little tuxedos. Plus? A Detour into one of the topics of discussion: Paul Thomas Anderson's magnum opus "Booger Nights".

I think that's what is called.

We finish Season 8 with a monster of an episode.

We celebrate PBS, do the opposite for "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank", recall the cinematic career of Raul Julia, salute the eminently quotable "Casablanca" and its brilliant journeyman director, and touch upon Woody Allen's 1972 film "Play It Again, Sam" (as well as its SCTV parody "Play It Again, Bob")!

The end of Season 8 grows clearer with a time-travel adventure called "Time Chasers". But what about the trilogy it stole wholesale from? Fear not, that's here too.

It's my favorite episode of the podcast proper thus far, not just because the "Back to the Future" Trilogy is so close to my heart (as is The Ride, but we'll get to that), but everything clicks this week. Focused, informative, actually funny for once.

SOOOOUULLL TRANSMIGRATION!

The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 12: Sci-Fi Odyssey!

Season 8 deals out the first of three half-hour specials that signal the birth of RiffTrax (the Summer Blockbuster Review), as well as horror hot dog monster musicals ("Horror of Party Beach") and the sixth-best movie about ventriloquists and their evil dummies ("Devil Doll").

What are the five better movies? A comprehensive Detour will cover all, including "The Twilight Zone", "Dead of Night" and, my favorite part of this episode, the Anthony Hopkins/Richard Attenborough/William Goldman jam "Magic".All that and much more, like Luc Besson injecting LSD into your eyeballs with "The Harry Canyon Story"...

Let's go crazy, listeners.

The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 12: Sci-Fi Odyssey!

Season 8 yields canceled TV shows about invisible men posing a movies ("Riding with Death"), failed TV pilots about California-based spies posing as movies ("Agent for H.A.R.M."), and a double dose of reedited Japanese cosmic superheroes ("Prince of Space" and "Invasion of the Neptune Men").

But the real story of the hour is a deep dive into the cinematic legacy of the greatest pop craftsman in history, the Purple One, Prince.I challenge you to name another podcast that can segue from the Chicken Man on Krankor to "The Magnificent Ambersons".
