  • This is my second favorite MST3K, just a little behind Puma Man. (Pewma Man?) It is a MUST SEE for any fans of the show!

    This is without a doubt, one of the top three best episodes of MST3K!!! The Pod People is an excellent movie for the MST3K crowd to rag on, and the guys come through with a lot of great one-liners sure to be quoted well after the movie ends. I had several people who had not seen an MST3K before they watched it with me and now they are fans of the show. Trumpy is a hilarious character and when they started talking about the pets in that funny voice and calling them "potatoes", we all cracked up! THIS IS A MUST SEE!!! I'm surprised that it isn't in the top 10, much less the top 50 episodes, but hopefully more will see it and give it a 10 as it deserves!moreless
  • Why is a four foot fury alien thing dangerous . . . better yet, where were pod people?

    Oh my, what a brain killing movie! First, the beginning of the movie shows some green rubber monster thing running around scaring people. For crying out load! If it has nothing to do with the movie, don't show it along with the credits!

    And the acting, oh, can you even call it acting? And why did some of the characters have to be jackasses for no reason?

    You know what this was almost like; the Brady Bunch meets an alien, only that would have been an Oscar winner compared to this.

    And there are many plot holes. Such as, why does the girl have crystals on her forehead just because a fur alien pushed her over? Why did the alien go underground after it was shot and supposedly killed? But, my biggest question to this day, why does the movie look like it's been dubbed when it was filmed in English!!?

    On a side not, the crew was great has always and I couldn't have made it through the credits, let alone the film, with out themmoreless
  • Oh. My. Word. No talent. No point. It's always dark, the film skips and the aliens are idiotic. And those are just the good parts.

    Pods show up on Earth as an alien race breeds and replaces its dying stock. It's not remotely exciting, however. A bit like "Alien" except instead of being really good, everything in it is slow, pointless and stupid.

    The film is grainy, everyone rides around in the woods, there's lots of horrible singing--will you ever recover from the sight of that t-shirt?--and a kid oblivious to anything but his stupid board game allows the creatures free rein to do anything they want, because they're cuddly. Yeah, smart thinking.

    Plenty of bad lines to recite, plus a very strong effort from Joel and the robots.moreless
  • This is my favorite Mst3k episode

    This episode was amazing. The movie Pod People is so ridiculous it just begs to be made fun of. First there's the beggining credits with random aliens fighting farmers or something that has nothing to do with the plot. Then there's the bands repetitive "Idiot Control Now Song". The wild party in timmy's room. The way that Timmy's Grandpa (or whoever that is)doesn't care one bit about Timmy's centipede. There are so many other parts of the movie that don't even need Joel and the bots help, but they make it so much better. Their recreations of the party scene and the bands recording studio with the "I am a Virgin Shirt" were hillarious and their voice for Trumpy is perfect. So if you don't get what this whole mst3k thing watch this episode, I promise you'll like it.moreless
