Description:
A mad scientist attempts to drive his captive, Mike Nelson, insane by forcing him to watch B-Movies. This episode's feature is 'The Wild World of Batwoman' (1966, 70min.) - Batwoman struggles to help her recover a mad scientist's invention, an atomic bomb hearing aid, before the evil villian, Rat Fink, can use it for his own personal agenda.

Amazon.com:
Nothing captures the peculiar pastiche of the pop-cultural zeitgeist like Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K to fans). The formula is simple: subject a hapless temp worker, Mike Nelson, and his robot friends, Tom Servo and Crow, marooned in space to the worst B, C, even Z-grade movies imaginable and record the results. On The Wild World of Batwoman, they quip through a movie summed up best by Crow: 'It looks like they just put a whole lotta movies in a blender and turned it on really fast!' The plot of the movie is hapless at best, inexplicably puncuated by bikini-clad 'Batgirls' go-go dancing with guns (Mike quips: 'That's 40 pounds of butt in pants with a 30-pound capacity.'). The episode starts with a '50s educational short on student cheating that is so dour in tone that Tom wonders, 'Is this Ingmar Bergman's first American movie?' In a sub-skit, Tom and Crow go mano a mano (or roboto a roboto) trying to out-shun each other: 'I double shun you.' Tom trumps with, 'I shun you version 3.0 for Windows.' The worse the movie, the better and more wacky the MST3K episode; never has subpar art ever inspired such heights of hilarity, and Batwoman is as bad as they come. Which means it's great. Get it? --Tod Nelson
