Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XXIII

Watching cheesy movies was never more enjoyable than in this cult fave 1988-1999 TV series. Shot into space by mad scientists, futuristic janitor Joel Robinson (Joel Hodgson) (later replaced by Mike Nelson) and his robot friends Crow, Gypsy, and Tom Servo view--and offer a comedic running commentary on--the greatest cinematic turkeys ever made. With Trace Beaulieu, Kevin Murphy, Jim Mallon, Frank Conniff, Mary Jo Pehl.

Thanks to one of those "parallel universe" accidents that every good sci-fi series experiences, Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank wind up being subjected to the outrageous oater "Last of the Wild Horses" (1948). Next, Roy Thinnes is a Hawaii-based government agent battling enemy spy Ian McShane in the unsold TV pilot "Code Name: Diamond Head" (1977). Four-disc set also includes "King Dinosaur" and "The Castle of Fu Manchu." 6 hrs. total. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo.
