Bow your heads, people -- "Laserblast" is the very strange end of an era in MST3K era, shifting from one deranged villain to another.
But even as their lives change forever, the Satellite of Love dudes must watch a devastatingly bad movie that somehow got two-and-a-half stars from Leonard Maltin, and even inexplicably got a cameo from Roddy friggin' McDowall. And in the meantime, they are confronted by disasters from classic science fiction!
Crow, Mike and Tom are horrified when Dr. F suddenly disconnects the umbilicus from the Satellite, meaning that they are adrift in space without air or supplies. Turns out Dr. F has lost his funding and is now moving in with his mother Pearl. But there's a not-so-bright-side: he's giving the guys a film to watch!
That film is "Laserblast," in which stop-motion turtle aliens lose an arm cannon in the desert. It's found by a sullen slacker that everybody picks on, and who has a terrifying-looking mom who is apparently a prostitute. But as the slacker takes revenge against everybody who has ever made his life miserable, the weapon starts turning him into a crazy green mutant.
MST3K's snark of "Laserblast" is really a turning point for the series -- it starts the transition from Dr. Forrester to his mom Pearl, and leads to the Satellite being set adrift IN SPAAAAAAACE. Granted, Mike and the bots don't seem hugely worried, since they not-so-happily trot off to watch the movie and make fun of the fact that Leonard Maltin gave it two and a half stars.
And between chunks of cinematic poo, they get up to silliness making fun of science fiction -- Crow undertakes an Apollo 13-style mission, Monad (annoying cousin to Nomad) is mocked by the bots, Mike briefly becomes Captain Janeway, and a trip to the edge of the universe has some very surprising results.
And as usual, the snark is delicious ("Oh Billy, between your musty blankets, your scabby chest holes and your back fat..."), especially when they point out the horrible dialogue ("She undercut the subtle nuance of my wiener joke!") and Coke produce placement.
"Laserblast's" snarking marks the end of an era for Mystery Science Theater 3000, but it remains a delightfully weird example of how they make even a dull, poorly-made sci-fi movie entertaining.
