Join host Joel Hodgson and his robot pals in two of the finest feature-length episodes of this hilarious award-winning series.

Product Description:

Two more favorite stinkbombs from the beloved sci-fi comedy show Mystery Science Theater; this special release features two titles, "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" and "Manos - The Hands of Fate." The premise of the show was that a man trapped on a satellite was forced to watch the worst movies ever created in an evil experiment conducted by two mad scientists who wanted to take over the world. They planned to do so by finding a movie so bad that they could broadcast it worldwide and thus weaken the Earth's defenses.

"Santa Claus" is a product of the Cold War imagination, a Christmas special where some Martian parents plot to kidnap Santa so their children can experience the holidays just like any Earthling child. As an added bonus, one of the Martian halflings is played by a young Pia Zadora in her first role. "Manos" tells the story of a family lost in the desert who come to stay with a mysterious man named Torgo, who seems agitated and continually mutters about "the master."
