CineInsomnia: Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie

This 1996 film, based on the cult favorite TV show of the same name, has one of the best framing devices ever put on film: A man and his two robot sidekicks are imprisoned in outer space by an evil scientist and forced to watch cheesy B-movies as part of an experiment, designed to break them. The movie finds them lampooning the campy This Island Earth (1955). Hear their witty, snarky commentary at this late-night screening at the Nuart.
