Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) shaped the collective sense of humor of a generation. By coaxing jokes out of B-movies and mixing in pop culture references for good measure. They turned movie riffing into an art form and earned a cult following, two Emmy nominations and a Peabody Award.

Space Travelers










Various obstacles hamper attempts to rescue three NASA astronauts trapped aboard a crippled space capsule. This, the only MST3K'd film to win an Academy Award, features big names like Gregory Peck, Gene Hackman, and David Janssen, and counted Frank Capra, Jr. as an associate producer. This severely edited version of Marooned was chosen because of its lack of action and the fact that Columbia forgot to renew the copyright for a short period of time.
