Description
Journey once more through the portals on the Satellite of Love to the best of the worst that cinema has to offer. Joel, Mike, and their "robot friends" do another hilarious orbit around four full-length features, presenting the kind of skits and wisecracking commentary that are clearly written by the culturally insane.

Goofy fun.......2007-02-12
While not the best selections from the MST3K vault, you can't go wrong with just about anything from this zany crew. I rarely recommend MST3K to others because the world seems to be divided into two categories of people--those that enjoy MST3K and those that don't. For my fellow MYSTIES: it's a great buy.
"Monster A Go-Go" (Joel), "The Dead Talk Back", and "Phantom Planet" are excellent, but the real treasure here is "Hobgoblins." After viewing this episode a half-dozen times, the lawn tools fight scene still brings tears to my eyes (for several reasons).
While on the subject, PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND/OR HUMANITY, BRING THIS SHOW BACK!!! With hundreds of satellite and cable stations, surely SOMEONE should give syndication or (dare I say it?) new episodes (I dared) a try. If such "classics" as "Yes, Dear" and "Full House" can make it to syndication, why not this genuinely hilarious show?!!??
The best of the worst!.......2007-01-13
I've always loved MST3K since I was a teenager, and now I get to cherish those old episodes with the MST3K collections. This one is perfect for newcomers and old fans alike, as some of the worst episodes they ever did are slapped together in a 4-DVD collection.
1.PHANTOM PLANET (#902)
This 1950's (or early 1960's) sci-fi snooze is about an astronaut with a bad haircut having his ship drawn strangly to a small planet that looks like a piece of fried chicken (Oh no, it's deep fried!) and forced to live with very small aliens (Aka tiny earthlings.). This movie has a lot of stiff and boring acting, and wait until you hear the wonderful speech by the captain's co-pilot, who dies only 10 minutes later in the film. What kind of message were they going for?
2.THE DEAD TALK BACK (#603)
This movie is just plain stupid. A freelance scientist (probably the director, since he's so into his role) invents a machine which, he claims, will allow him to talk with the dead and solve a woman's murder. Turns out it doesn't, which should've ended the movie the moment it began, but instead, we are dragged along for 80 minutes in a bad detective-story/sci-fi pile of garbage that tries to deliver itself as entertainment. Mike and the bots really let loose on this one, due to the film's bizarre plotpoints involving a stalker (It's hard to stalk people without a car!), bongo players, and a brain that looks like cauliflower. Nothing is known about this odd little independent film, except that it was never released. It does appear that besides the floating stool, the only other special effects were the actors' bad haircuts. The short that preceds it, The Selling Wizard, is a creepy advertisement on how to sell freezers. It's very amusing.
3.MONSTER A GO-GO (#421)
Oh my God. This might be the worst movie I've ever seen. The plot, if there is one, involves a missing astronaut suspected of being a radioactive murderer. Too bad they only follow this plot for about 30 seconds. The remaining 60 minutes consist of scientists mumbling about how to kill the monster, shots of firemen working on sewers, and people left mutilated (not really, just in funny and akward positions.). Joel and the bots really let loose on this one, but by the "suprise ending," they are completly exhausted and sound like they're on the verge of mental breakdown. Notice the hilarious scene with the telephone!
4.Hobgoblins (#907)
No, wait, this is the worst movie I've ever seen. From the director who brought you Vice Academy and Babe Watch, comes Hobgoblins, an extremely bad ripoff of Gremlins. The movie tries to have a plot involving goblins that can mess with people's minds, but then the movie trails off into bad sexual fantasies with Robert Plant (watch the movie for details), a ex-soldier who sets himself on fire in one scene, then comes back with a few scratches (What the hell?!), and some other things that scar the brain. See! The 47 car parking scenes! Hear! The Fish Picker Song! See! A really badly made no-budget horror film that makes no sense!
So there you have it, folks, some of the worst movies ever made with some hilarious commentary from MST3K. Enjoy.
One of MST3K's Best Compliations .......2006-12-21
I currently have all of the Mst3k's compliation sets (I recently purchased vol.10) But I would have to say that this one which includes: "Monster A-GO GO" "Phantom Planet" "Hobgoblins" and "The Dead Talk Back" is one of the best. Reviews Below:
Monster A-GO GO - least favorite of the four. The plot is almost non-existent. It consist of an uber-tall guy with a bad skin condition walking around in a space suit strangling random people he happens upon. Then seemingly in another movie, scientists are having coffee and discussing issues that have very little to do with what is going on. Joel and the Bots riff away on this piece of celluliod cheese, however they seem exhausted by the end. This movie drains the very fabric of space and time.
Phantom Planet - "Everyday of my life I am reminded..." And the rest you'll have to see to get the whole quote. I honestly forgot it but it's funniest piece of drivel I've ever heard between two male characters in a movie who were not lovers. This movie was bad but not as bad as Monster A-GO GO which was almost unwatchable even with Joel and the Bots riffing at it. This one has Mike and the Bots riffing which makes this one bearable at least. I don't think Joel could've pulled this one off.
The Dead Talk Back - Funny as hell. Watch out for Ludwig Kruger, he's a sexual deviant! Oh and the crossbow killing is solved by tricking the idiot killer into believing that the girl he stuck to front porch of boarding house with an arrow through the heart is actually alive. "My name is REENE.."
Hobgoblins - Another movie with severval sexual deviants. The funniest of the four in my opinion. Stupid plot of course. People are getting chased around some (Canadian more than likely) town by grotesque green puppets. Never go to Club Scum.
This is definitely something you want in your collection. If you are a fan of the show you already know this.
"He has his outdoor eyebrows on." Good, but buyer beware..........2006-10-10
I hate giving anything MST3K-related less than four stars but in this case I sort of have to. Three of these episodes are hosted by Mike--75% Mike and 25% Joel is automatically a plus. Unfortunately that is not enough to make this set a must-have.
The first problem: two dud episodes (Monster A-Go Go and The Phantom Planet). I cannot seem to find much good in either of these episodes no matter how I have tried. Even the short on Monster A-Go Go is not worth the time it takes to watch it, which is truly odd as you usually can't go wrong with a short that has been mstified.
The next problem: MAJOR flaws in the disc for The Dead Talk Back. Fantastically funny episode, one of my favorites, but the dvd has nonstop errors. This is not just an error on my disc or a certain batch of discs that were released, it is across the board, every single disc released as far as anyone knows. This is a very strong episode but these sets are NOT cheap so to pay upwards of fifty bucks for what already starts off as a mediocre set of episodes and get a movie with so many errors on it is a bit upsetting. The screen shots of these errors are available online so you may want to take a look before you spend your hard-earned money. For me I would have purchased the set either way but I am also a hardcore fan. For the more casual viewer I would recommend renting this on Netflix to test it out so to speak and see how much you like it. If you can ignore the terrible quality of this episode (Rhino's fault, by the way) you are in for some big laughs as we see a cross-bow murder mystery unravel with the help of a man who claims his invention can enable the murdered to talk to us ("Oh it's true"). The disc is not unwatchable but for the price you're going to pay I feel you must be prepared to be annoyed at the very least.
What does make this set well worth the cost of the dvds for me aside from The Dead Talk Back (despite its bad quality) is the classic Hobgoblins episode. A big favorite among MSTies this terrible movie would probably have you rolling on its own but Mike and the bots make it all the better with their razor-sharp commentary and riffing and they manage to help us through it even when the movie becomes so bad that they leave the theater! But they don't leave us alone...watch this one to see what I mean. Be sure to wear your red shorts, boys. Basically this movie is about Hobgoblins, Gremlin-like creatures from outer space that can somehow make people act out their biggest fantasies...and then die in the process, er, yeah. Don't ask me, folks, it doesn't make sense, but that's part of the fun!
If you are new to MST3K I wouldn't start here, but I would definitely stop by.
Some of the worst movies in this one.......2006-08-13
Wow, selling Hobgoblins and Monster A-Go-Go together is a bold move. You can't get more low-budget than those. The Dead Talk Back is pretty darn low-budget as well. Phantom Planet is decent, but only if you want to only see large amounts of boring talking.
Let's start with Phantom Planet. Servo comments, "This movie is a filibuster!" and he's right. Even the stinger at the end credits seems like it's 90 minutes long. It's some guy saying, "You know captain, every year of my life I become more and more convinced, that the wisest and the best is to focus our attention on the good and the beautiful, if you just take the time to look at it." The movie flat out states that when people travel to different planets, their oxygen level determines their size. In other words, people are just balloons. Gosh, these old B-movies did ZERO scientific research before churning out their garbage to audiences.
Too bad it only gets worse from here. Let's go to The Dead Talk Back. It comes with a short. Hooray! The short is The Selling Wizard. Hooray! I love this short. It's nothing but an attempt to sell you a grocery store freezer, and for some reason it's darn funny. Whether you want to sell people ice cream in poorly-designed packages, or stack bodies easily, this is the freezer for you. The movie that follows the short is laughable. It starts with some poor sap trying to convince you that he's going to be able to invent a device that will allow him to communicate with the dead. Of course, Mike and the bots infer that such a task won't be easy while the guy's living in his mother's basement. A murder takes place early in the movie, and from there it's basically a whodunnit. Heck, with the multiple narrators, you have a hard enough time trying to figure out who's explaining the scene to you, much less trying to figure out who the murderer is. Even though putting a razor blade in a glass doesn't magically solve the crime by making a good enough radio to talk with the dead, the dumb guy from the beginning gives it a try anyway.
I heard about Monster A-Go-Go before seeing it, and it was much worse than I thought it would be. The final quarter of the movie drags and drags like you never felt a movie drag before. It's worse than Deep Hurting, Rock Climbing, and Hypno-Helio-Static-Stasis combined. GOSH it's boring. The rest of the movie is great fodder. You don't know ANY characters, NONE of the scenes look good, and you yourself could make a better movie in your backyard. I'm not kidding.
Speaking of making a movie in your backyard, let's talk about Hobgoblins. Oh man, the hobgoblins themselves are the most unrealistic puppets of all time. I swear, this movie has NO special effects. How can anyone get through it? By riffing of course. There's plenty of idiot teens and an old guy available to riff on. Plus there's a band on a stage that might as well be singing the directions to the restroom. This movie is an embarassment to even the most dirt-cheap of productions.
None of these movies have plots that are worth following. Of course, Monster A-Go-Go doesn't even have a plot...I don't think. I've seen it a few times and I still don't know. I always talk about how awful Laserblast is, and it might actually be better than all four of the movies in this collection. Buy the DVDs here only if you're really, really brave and trust the MST3K crew to get you through the very worst in cinematic history, because these movies are really bad, even compared to what was usually seen on the show. You won't find worse stuff anywhere. I love it.

When they escape from their film vault prison, security guard Kevin and his friends must do all they can to send the creatures back to the place they came from. This no-budget monsterfest is in the spirit of GHOULIES.

Killer hand-puppets? Smells like delicious B to us!.......2007-06-26
Where to begin? Hobgoblins is the prototypical B movie. The killers were litteraly hand puppets who growled and apparently bit people but who's mouths never moved. Beautiful! And it was an 80's B, so the characters were so nerdy and annoying, we were rooting for them to fall victim to the terrifying hand puppets. Awful acting doesn't scratch the surface for these losers. But it takes special people to enjoy this kind of humor. And Sid the Elf and all our fans are those kind of people. Granted trying to follow the plot for this one would be about as easy as finding the Bermuda Triangle, but thats what B is all about. If it makes sense then it makes it to the big screen, which we have no interest in. If you want to see a real movie please don't go near this one! But if you are a real man then pick this one up and subject yourself to 88 minutes of hand puppets doing nothing more then violent shaking. This one gets a true recomendation from Sid himself. Please don't pay too much attention to the negative reviews for this one. Obviously B is way over their head.
Kindergarten Revisited.......2006-08-16
When I first saw The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies, I thought there was no way anyone could make a movie that was worse. This is worse.
We start off with an old security guard training an idiotic teen. Already the movie isn't good; but it's just starting, so maybe it can be salvaged. The idiot teen gets killed in a hobgoblin-type accident, so at least his on-screen presence can't disturb us anymore.
Then we meet Kevin. There's not much to Kevin. Kevin invites his friends over and does little else. When we meet Kevin's friends, the movie is officially toast. It degenerates into complete farce and idiocy, highlighted by a rake fight.
The movie drags on like this for quite some time, expecting the audience to put up with horrible sexual innuendo and plotless non-acting for at least 30 minutes more. What could be worse?
Oh, I know what would be worse. The movie could leave out any kind of special effects whatsoever when it finally shows us what the hobgoblins look like. True to its goal, the movie follows this axiom of lackluster production precisely - and the bounds that the hobgoblins alternate between involve being as motionless as stuffed animals to being as realistic as hand-puppets. So if you want to make a movie, use a stuffed animal for the distant shots, and a hand-puppet for the close-ups, and you're good to go. There are truly no words to emphasize how fake the hobgoblins look. Really. Kindergarten revisted is the best I can do.
If you couldn't tell already, Hobgoblins has no budget. Producer/Director Rick Sloane obviously tries his best to imitate Ed Wood's style. Just as Ed Wood made some sleazy pictures back in his day, Sloane feels the need to include plenty of sleaze in Hobgoblins. Remember - the movie dies when we see Kevin's friends, and it sinks even lower when we see how cheap the hobgoblins look. But it actually goes down a few notches further when one of Kevin's friends dials a sleazy 900 number for you-know-what. The lady on the other line says all kinds of horrible stuff including, "Help me hide this iguana on my body." That line right there cemented this movie's place in cinematic abomination history.
Wait! There's more! One of the hobgoblins possesses Kevin's girlfriend Amy, and gives her the desire to go to Club Scum! Not to be left out, Kevin and his friends go to Club Scum too! When Club Scum is infested by stuffed animals...oh, I mean hobgoblins...a wannabe army sergeant stops by to solve the problem. Pathetic.
For some reason all the hobgoblins leave Club Scum and hide in the movie studio where the old security guard from the beginning of the film is employed at. The old fart tells Kevin he worked with explosives in the army, and blows all the Hobgoblins to smithereens. So all of the puppets die, and the audience is just glad that it's over.
A guy named Road Rash works at Club Scum. Sounds appropriate.
Somewhere during the movie, we learn that the hobgoblins are really aliens from another planet. We see a flashback of them landing on earth in a spaceship, and the spaceship is so cheap that the top is just barely able to open. Ha ha.
I highly recommend seeing this movie once if you can find it, just so you can see how bad it is. It might be a better idea to get the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version to watch, to help you get through the pain.
Regardless of what version you choose to see, you will cringe at the filthy dialogue and laugh at the lack of special effects. This movie is truly unbelievable.
A Hilarious Movie on Its Own; The Fontanelles Rule!!!!.......2005-01-12
KISS KICKER! This movie is ripoff of "Critters" which was a ripoff of "Gremlins," but you know what? It ain't that bad. All the other reviews that heap loads of criticism on this movie's much-maligned producer/ writer/ director/ photographer/ editor (I'm not making this up) Rick Sloane are only getting his name from the MST3K lampooning of Hobgoblins, in which they repeat his name about 100 times. Not too original. But, in the spirit of this third generation rip-off of "Gremlins," I guess it just comes with the territory.
The story centers around five friends, one of whom is a rent-a-cop at a local warehouse. While on "duty" (heh-heh.."doodie") the rent-a-cop accidentally releases (heh-heh "releases"...ok, I'll stop) space aliens that are obviously poorly constructed muppet-type sock puppets. And by "poorly constructed" I mean FREAKIN' HILARIOUS! I love the scene where they steal the rent-a-cop's go cart....I digress. Anyway, these bad little aliens have the ability to make anyone's innermost desires come true, BUT in doing so they drain the life-force from the person, eventually killing them. Oh yeah, and they have sharp claws and kill people that way, too. With the hobgoblins on the loose, the five goofy friends, especially the dumb kid in the red shorts, are forced to save the ugly little corner of suburbia in which they dwell. Oh, and they are all horny and irritating, but in a good way.
This is actually an enjoyably stupid movie that really stands on its own and can give the viewer laugh after laugh, most of them unintentional. I love the scenes at CLUB SCUM with the hilarious Master of Ceremonies performed by the massively talented DALAN NORRIS. Whatever happened to him? Oh, yeah and the amazing music (and Live Performance!!!) provided by the above mentioned FONTANELLES (with lead singer Spit Spignolla) is soooo bad that's it's actually quite good. The song "Kiss Kicker" should have been a top 40 hit. So, move your kiss kicker over to the buy button and grab one of those new copies of this hidden gem before someone else does.
Rick Sloane is Satan incarnate...........2004-11-17
This.... this.... I can't even find the words for this piece of crap. The director, Rick Sloane must have a passionate hate for all mankind. In fact, he should have been killed by now. Anyway, Hobgoblins was one of the best and funniest MST3K episodes. The film itself is one of the worst films ever made, however.
The plot is virtually non-existent. The "hobgoblins" are just cheap puppet-dolls that apparently kill you by granting "your deepest desire." The characters inflicted by these creatures are just as stupid as the puppets. The main character is a little pussbag of a wimp, WHO CAN'T EVEN USE A RAKE CORRECTLY!! The other characters sicken me as well. We have a frigid girlfriend, an incredibly thin and ugly nympho, her boyfriend who is a sex-straved military man, and a nerd who is obsessed with phone sex. In short, I didn't care about any of them and I was hoping that they would all be killed. The whole film is entirely sleazy (especially "Club Scum") and will make you want to shower for a week straight.
In short, the lack of plot, horrid acting, writing, and the fact that Rick Sloabe is evil incarnate make this a great MST3K episode. But don't EVER watch the original version. UGH!
If You Enjoy the Worst, Try This.......2003-09-06
I was first introduced to this film on MST3K, and quickly concluded that it was one of the worst films ever made. Basically, what we have here are a few incredibly stupid looking puppets attacking people. There are a few cul-de-sac in the plot such as mind control of the people by the puppets, a haunted abandoned movie studio and the infamous 'Club Scum' scene where the band plays the 'Fish Picker' song. Truly, very, very bad.
After saying this please know that I actually enjoy this movie. It is absolutely horribly constructed, dismally acted, and ineptly edited. The music is awful, but at least it drowns out the dialogue (when you are lucky). If you want to enjoy watching a very bad movie in the 'Plan 9' genre, you will be quite pleased with yourself for finding this little known gem.
