    Three people record themselves watching garbage movies, most of which are very old. They make fun of them. Two of them are puppets. It makes bad movies a lot more tolerable.

    I disagree. Manos is probably the very best MST3K episode ever made, precisely because Manos was not only an outrageously bad film, but a rather disturbing film as well.
