Does anyone else love Carnival Magic as much as me or is my brain just that broken?

I have a love / disgust relationship with the movie. The episode is gold and the movie's got a lot of fun stuff in it as well, but also some really skeevy carny poo poo that honestly makes my skin crawl.

I think we all have an episode or two we obsess over, like with me and Catalina Caper and The Brute Man

It's just the weirdest loving movie that should not exist + Stony Martin passed out drunk.

Yeah it's definitely got that classic MST3K movie magic where half the fun is trying to figure out how the hell that movie even came to exist.

It is a great episode. It just that even thinking about the episode makes me want to take a shower. Everything, even the ambient noise, feels sweaty in that movie.

Girls Town and Teenage Crimewave spring to mind for me. I have a soft spot for the juvenile delinquent 50s/60s movies.

I never minded I Accuse My Parents! making its way into numerous marathons because, let's face it, Jimmy IS kinda stupid.

I Accuse My Parents is definitely one of the ones locked into my brain from all the times I put it on and fell asleep to it. Including the DVD version, so I would always wake up to Tom's singing looping on the menu.

It's one of the perfect episodes imo. Great movie, great jokes, great host segments. Everything works.

A bunch of my other MST3K "obsessions" were already mentioned, but I'll drop a few more:

Red Zone Cuba: because it's probably the grimmest, most nihilistic film they ever did. "Apparently it's martial law in Rat's rear end, Missouri!"

The Sinister Urge: because it makes the porn industry look warm and inviting, and I can't get enough of the two cops just sitting at the desk. "He's the kindly old pornographer."

Horrors of Spider Island: because it's probably the best example of a film that they did that had only the tiniest of plots on which to hang a jigglefest of a movie. "This is too much even for me, Mike. Can't we have a couple of elderly scientists in lab coats, talking nonstop for a while?"

The Incredible Melting Man: because I can't get enough of Dr. Ted Nelson, his wife, and her mom and mom's boyfriend Harold. "It was broad-minded of them to cast aliens in these roles."

I think one of the first host segments I liked was for Wild Rebels cereal. That was a catchy tune!

Crunch Fruity Rebels!

Edit: I take that back, I always thought this was season 1 and it's 2. There were definitely good ones before that.

It also has that bizarrely nihlistic ending where everybody is just dead.

I too love Carnival Magic, even if I only realized on a second watch that the character whom I thought was the girl lead's father was actually her love interest.

That's another one where I rarely made it all the way to the end awake, but I'd just throw it on 'cuz why not.

Yeah it might be the most depressing movie done on MST3K and the fact they got good jokes out of it is a testament to their ability.

I need to sit down and watch High School Big Shot - I'm morbidly curious to see if there's a movie that can eclipse the sheer bleakness of The Sidehackers.
