    Mystery Science Theatre 3000, like the original reaction videos. A cast of silly people/robot puppets watch a movie and comment on it.

      Wow I forgot this existed. I somehow found myself watching one of these as a kid and was SO confused. Haven’t seen one since. I hated it at the time because I just wanted to see the movie. Recommend one to try as an adult?

        Some suggestions from a MiST who grew up watching them via friends recording them on VHS…

        • Mitchell (Season 5, Episode 12)
        • The Final Sacrifice (Season 9, Episode 10)
        • Pod People (Season 3, Episode 3)
        • Werewolf (Season 9, Episode 4)
        • Time Chasers (Season 8, Episode 21)
        • Overdrawn at The Memory Bank (Season 8, Episode 22)
        • Hobgoblins (Season 9, Episode 7)
        • Soultaker (Season 10, Episode 1)
        • Catalina Caper (Season 2, Episode 4)

        Some of these are available for free, some you need to get off Netflix or other places. There is a mst3k channel that plays episodes 24/7 on Pluto TV, and you can stream much of the original series (there was a revival via Kickstarter that’s on Netflix and now online) via Gizmoolex.com

            There once was a website (a long time ago might still exist) that had links to YT copies people uploaded from their VHS. It had some in-browser IRC client and you could chat with others in sort of a watch party. Was where I saw a lot of seasons not played by Comedy Central / SciFi or Mystery Science Theater Hour.

            This was a long time ago. Like back when browsers had plugins for Shockwave. I doubt it still exists.
