Just your average Mummy

[TheCloser17 · 6/10 · 29 December 2018]

Episode two of MST3K starts with a very funny short of the serial, Commando Cody. Joel and the bots get rolling early with a very easy to bash storyline in the Commando Cody episode. High ratings for the spoofing of a very terrible plot in the short. I was hoping that this would be a pre-cursor to the movie riffs, but once feature starts, the gags slow way down. The movie itself is truly horrible making the first part of the movie pretty bad. But, as what happened in the very first MST3K movie the laughter really picks up as the movie goes along. Even with the pick up in the flow of wise cracks I can only rate this episode a 6, which isn't really bad or good. Just above middling score is all I can give it.

One of my least favorite episodes

The movie this week is "The Robot Vs. The Aztec Mummy" and is preceded by the first episode of the "Commando Cody & the Radar Men from the Moon" serial. I LOVE MST3K with a passion but even I have to admit that this first season outing was a clunker. It has one or two good quips here and there, but the majority of the episode falls flat,sad to say. The devil dogs were memorable at least.

My Grade: D
