The tagline, “Up from the bowels of the Earth, ” is far too polite a description of this 1963 low-budget horror film. Nuclear testing has driven a race of subterranean creatures up through the sewers of Los Angeles, and after defeating the military, they erect a dome out of fog over the city to preserve an inhabitable atmosphere. A small band of heroes-in-the-making, stranded inside the dome, must fight to survive. One could see in this tale of imprisonment and struggle a fascinating parable of Joel, Tom and Crow’s predicament aboard the SoL; but we come to bury The Slime People, not to praise it. What does deserve praise, however, is the surefire comedy born of this tragedy.

Blame Road Warrior for the pile of post-apocalyptic knock-offs that seeded the fertile lands of Low-Budget Hollywood in the 1980s. One such bud that should have been nipped was this tale of the young drifter, Neo, who leads a ragtag band of rebels against a robot army and its evil overlord, the Dark One. The opening narration says, “The world has been brought to its knees by the robot holocaust” and this equally applies to the film.

In the 1950s and early 1960s, no monster was more feared than the Communist, and the propagandistic Rocket Attack U. S. A. is a call to the villagers to light their torches and hunt down the monster. When spies are sent to the U. S. S. R. to discover if Sputnik is transmitting critical information to the Communists, they learn that a nuclear attack on New York is being planned. Elsewhere in time and space, and in the not too distant future, another historic satellite is transmitting critical information about Rocket Attack U. S. A. to the delight of everyone watching it. And that is when we truly won the Cold War. . . at least against cheesy movies.

Sandy Frank Sandy Frank He’s the source of all our pain...So begins the legendary anthem performed by Joel, Servo and Crow that elevated Mr. Frank — the producer of the English-language adaptation of Time Of The Apes — to almost mythical antihero status among MSTies. Adapted (i.e., shredded and stitched into incoherence) from the 1974 Japanese series Saru No Gundan, Time Of The Apes follows the travails of a scientist and two small children who are accidentally frozen and thaw into a future ruled by apes. The plot may sound familiar, but the riffs are absolutely unique.

And lo, Tsuburaya Productions begat the 1968 Japanese television series Maitei Jyakku; and Maitei Jyakku begat the TV movie Mighty Jack; and Mighty Jack did know Sandy Frank Productions and begat in its own likeness an English-dubbed adaptation for American television; and the American version did lay with Best Brains and begat one of the funniest episodes of one of the funniest TV series ever made. The Japanese apparently had a license to quality television when they created this edited version of the 1968 TV series Maitei Jyakku. Long before “junk bond” joined the English lexicon, the 007-ish exploits of Mighty Jack — a government organization created to defeat the notorious crime syndicate known as “Q” — took everything that was bad about cool and thrilling espionage movies and threw the rest out. Fortunately for us, Joel and the ’bots had a license to riff.

Operation Kid Brother is also known by another title that, for certain reasons, will go unnamed. But given it’s a spy film featuring actors from a celebrated spy film franchise, and understanding that the lead is played by Neil Connery, the younger brother of Sean Connery, the guesswork isn’t all that challenging. Young Connery, a plastic surgeon with hypnotic powers and a talent for lip reading, is recruited by a secret organization to take on a crime syndicate bent on destroying all steel-based power in the world. One of many knock-off spy films that proliferated in the wake of You Know Who, Operation Kid Brother is intensely mediocre and really only notable for its knock-off casting. Watching this one, you will be stirred, not shaken.

Bert I. Gordon, the rainmaker of MST3K fodder, aimed high with this loose adaptation of H. G. Wells’ book The Food Of The Gods And How It Came To Earth, which is why it fell so hard. It’s 1965. Teens and adults aren’t exactly seeing eye to eye to begin with. Ron Howard — you heard it right — plays “Genius,” inventor of a goo that causes animals to grow too many times their natural size. When some rebellious teenagers led by Beau Bridges steal and consume his concoction, they take over the town, and the generation gap takes a turn for the worse. Not to worry, though — Mike, Tom and Crow bring them down to size with a barrage of funny riffs for our viewing pleasure.

Counterintelligence takes on a new meaning in this barely coherent tale of Hawaiian espionage that takes place on movie sets meant to look like Hawaii. If only superspy “Diamond Head” had infiltrated the script meetings for Code Name: Diamond Head before this deadly pilot from legendary TV producer Quinn Martin was unleashed on an unsuspecting public. Lives could have been saved — at least from boredom.

Mike and the ’bots take on this low-budget black-and-white potboiler about a neglected rich girl and her hardened gang of babes who — thanks to inside information from her unwitting father — always manage to stay one step ahead of the police. In this delirious episode, we find the Mads “softening to reach a wider audience,” which includes performing their new theme song, “Living In Deep 13.” Why this catchy, soulful duet was never covered by Elton John and Toni Tennille, God only knows. Includes the 1952 short film A Young Man’s Fancy, wherein a visiting young man prefers the household electrical appliances to the teenage daughter. Riff in the hole!

In this 1948 Western, “Duke” (no, not “The Duke” — you should be so lucky) is a robber-turned-rancher who gets in the middle of a ranch foreman’s scheme to steal wild horses and is framed for murder in the bargain. Those B’hoys on the Satellite of Love cut dirt on the riffing until the movie is catawamptiously chawed up, but the real treasure lies in this episode’s host segments, featuring an utterly unforgettable parody of Star Trek’s celebrated “Mirror Mirror” episode.
