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.

Red Zone Cuba



Short) Another Coleman Francis film in which an escaped criminal stumbles upon a desolate Army post, takes part in the Bay of Pigs invasion, then goes in search of ore. Francis takes a lead role. John Carradine sings the title song and appears briefly. The short "Speech: Platform, Posture, and Appearance" offers advice for public speakers, including how to "make knee test."
