For some unfathomable reason, the IMDb summary includes Joel, instead of Mike in this Season 5, Episode 24 offering. As every loyal follower of this cult television show well knows, Mike enters into the picture permanently after the 13th episode of Season 5!
The movie itself (manos is Spanish for hands, btw, making the actual title translate to "Hands, the Hands of Fate") is indescribably awful in every imaginable way. To comment any further about this fact is pointless. But what MST3K does to it, is comedic genius to the nth degree. At one point, Torgo's stammering speech is mimicked to near-perfection by Crow, Servo, and Mike interchangeably, so everything spoken appears to actually be in the film. This effect had me literally holding my sides from the paroxysms of laughter I simply could not control. I even had to grab my computer desk at one point, to keep from falling out of my chair...true story! I cannot remember a better feeling after viewing this send-up of all send-ups. Bodily secretions released by laughter have been measured and identified. They truly benefit and heal the body and soul; however, watch at your own risk. You've been warned!
