5.0 out of 5 stars Trumpy, you can do magic things., January 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Pod People [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Good? This episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 is the BEST! It ranks perhaps even above, Ator, Attack of the-the Eye Creaters, and even infamous short, Mr./Ms. Be-Natural. The Amazing Collasial Episode guide called it a fan favorite. Kevin Murphy noted how he wanted to kill this movie. The movie itself is a spin off from ET, perhaps? No one is really sure. It starts of in a misty wilderness with three poachers. Then we are in outer-space, (viewing something). Then it goes to some cheap rock band playing a stupid song which is excellently mocked by bots. Then the crew decides to take some nature shots of deer and wild life. We are then transported to the gentle loveable (extremely annoying) star? of the show Tommy's house. The thing from outer space crashes These little short hairy monsters (that are actually kind of cute) come out and kill the poachers. But Tommy finds one while serching for more "specimens" which are really CENTIPEDES! He names him Trumpy, we unfortunaly have have the plot of a horrible movie. But it was Tommy's kitten "Mittens" that stole our hearts. He attacked Trumpy's nose in one scean but obviously no one on the camera crew saw. I will give you Misties a personal guarentee that this movie is sucessful bashed!! And the songs they sing will stick in your head for a long while and make you laugh when it's inappriopriate and embarass you. This is probably the best episode ever done. It also has the best segway of all-time when Joel, Crow, Tom, and Gypsy sing a re-take of the movie's rock group song. "Hidous partrol now?" There's too many funny parts in this movie to tell in this review, but I guarentee you'll love it! END

5.0 out of 5 stars Will There Still Be A Clown In The Sky For Me?, March 6, 2000

This review is from: Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Pod People [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of the best MST3K Episodes ever. The Riffs during the movie are great as always (the renaissance guy; HUZZAH!, Trumpy Likes Potatoes, etc.). But what makes this episode really shine are the host segments. How can you go wrong with Crow playing a new, New Age Yanni Lick, or Tom and Crow flying all over the SOL as a result of Trumpy's Magic. And of course who can forget the two songs from this classic, Hear the Engines Roll Now (IT STINKS!) and Clowns in the Sky. We Miss you MST3K!

5.0 out of 5 stars funniest MST3K episode ever, October 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Pod People [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have never laughed so hard. Even the thought of this movie causes me to begin to giggle. Unlike most MST3K episodes, Pod People has no dead joke-less spots--just tiny pauses in which you begin to take a breath, only to have it knocked out of you by another joke. Watch it!
