But when their initial attack on Scarlet fails, the Mysterons discover they have awoken what will be their most dangerous enemy.

MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000
This November, Shout! Factory TV presents two classic MST3K episodes available exclusively month-long!
Multiple Emmy®-nominated and Peabody Award-winning Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) is a true cult classic. Its high-camp rendition of B-movies from every genre to the small screen makes it one of the most memorable pop culture shows of our time. Brimming with laugh-out-loud commentaries from caustically hilarious space travelers Joel Robinson, Mike Nelson and their robot pals Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo, MST3K was a genuine phenomenon. Its popularity spawned an MST3K fan following that numbers over hundreds of thousands of fans world-wide.
MST3K: Space Mutiny
It’s Hilarious…But not on purpose. One of the funniest films featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000 in the show’s 11-year run, Space Mutiny is a hilariously bad sci-fi epic that’s guaranteed to have you in stitches. Combine a wardrobe of spandex and tinfoil; a set boasting AstroTurf® and spray-painted floor buffers; and special effects that, well, aren’t so special, and you’ve got one of the most hysterical cheeseball movies to ever come out of the ’80s. Grab your friends and have a riot with this underground cult hit!
MST3K: The Black Scorpion
The original trailer for The Black Scorpion boasts it was “produced on a scale never achieved before by any science-fiction picture.” That is absolutely true, but not in a good way.
A massive volcanic eruption in Mexico spews quite a bit more than lava in this 1957 horror/sci-fi movie. Two American geologists work with the Mexican army to destroy the giant arachnids that emerge and wreak havoc, ultimately facing off in a bullring against the biggest and meanest one. Willis O’Brien, the visionary stop-motion pioneer, will hopefully be much, much, much better remembered for the original King Kong than this final effort. On the bright side, it’s grist for a million laughs, thanks to Joel and the bots aboard the Satellite of Love.
