Mystery Science Theater 3000: Humanoid Woman

Eighteen very different stories are told in this horror anthology film, as we get to see time travel, robots, aliens, murder, killer dolls and even the apocalypse.

Tom Servo gets his new "Mighty Voice" and a chance to use it during another Gamera film. Crow is still frozen.

Crow gets unfrozen just in time for yet another Gamera film, and we meet the Mads for the first time.

Joel, Crow, and Servo sit through a star-studded TV movie about a doomed SST flight while Gypsy goes through some interesting changes.

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 espionage movies and threw the rest out.

With Crow disassembled, Joel and Servo are left by themselves to tackle Part 1 of this baffling Japanese sci-fi epic.

The stranded crew of the Satellite of Love have no sympathy for the stranded crew of Moonbase Alpha when they take in two repackaged episodes of Space: 1999.

As two Earth boys plead for Gamera to rescue them from a planet of cannibals, Crow experiences a wonderful dream in which he turns the tables on the Mads.

This week's film is a deep sci-fi story about ants that leaves Crow wishing he'd brought a pair of boots into the theater.

This is it – the best movie ever made about a world-famous bouncer and his epic struggle with the evil owner of the local J.C. Penney. Patrick Swayze is at his most shirtless as Dalton, a bouncer who is as comfortable quoting Zen aphorisms as he is kicking drunken men in the head. The incomparable Sam Elliot is hilarious as Swayze's grizzled but lovable mentor, growling out lines like "I'll sleep when I'm dead," and running his weathered hand through his long, gray, greasy hair. And Kevin Tighe (of Lost) as the owner of the titular roadhouse delivers one of the strangest performances ever committed to film. Road House is the comic mother lode and Mike takes advantage of every smashed beer bottle, throat kick, and monster car smash-up in his hilarious running commentary.

This week's experiment is disastrous disaster film City on Fire (1979), which assures viewers the events depicted could happen in any city, anywhere. Even, as Tom points out, while we're watching this.
