DVD Reviews of Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Mitchell

DVD Review: Non-Stop Riff-Attack Mayhem
Summary: 4 Stars

You really get your money's worth with this laugh a minute riff-a-thon. Even better is the added bonus of saying goodbye to Joel and hello Mike!

Now I understand why this episode is so revered, not a moment is wasted tearing this film to comic shreds and with so much energy it really adds to the enjoyment level. The best moment has to be when Mitchell gets into a shouting match with a 10 year old that is so ridiculous it didn't even need the S.O.L. Crew's commentary to get a laugh.

A truly enjoyable episode, but the most joy came from seeing Joel get rocketed off into space and the promise of Mike taking over as host.

DVD Review: A+ great example of what made this show so AWESOME
Summary: 5 Stars

my favorite line "Why would anyone want to do that with Mitchell"

This has become legendary in my circle of friends. Just calling out the name Mitchell causes a round of laughter and makes us pull out this movie for another viewing. I have owned the VHS copy of this episode for years and have watched it over and over again. So now that I am finally updating to DVD this is the first one I bought along with The Essentials (Manos, the Hands of Fate / Santa Claus Conquers the Martians) Yes fans vary on weather Joel episodes are better then Mike episodes and some where sad or stopped watching when Joel left (not me). But everyone seems to agree Mitchell is classic MST3K you cant do better as far as the writing goes. It has some of the best one liners in it and is a must see for anyone who is a fan of the show.

DVD Review: My Cousin Was In Mitchell!!
Summary: 5 Stars

My cousin Sigi Frolich was the coroner in Mitchell!! When MST3K was on the air, I ran a video store in Santa Barbara. One day, while they were airing Mitchell, I turned off the movie playing, turned on MST and made all the customers watch Sigi get out of his coroners car!!! Its only for a second, but it's him and he's briefly leaning over the corpse a few minutes later. Sigi passed away a few years ago, he was in his mid- nineties! Oh yeah...almost forgot to say..MITCHELL IS ONE OF THE GREATEST MST3K SHOWS IN ITS HISTORY!!!!

DVD Review: MST3K and Mitchell Rock!
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm probably not going to say anything that most fans of MST3K haven't already said, but I'll try. "Mitchell," for me, is the best razzing Joel and the 'Bots have ever done of a film. NOT the best film, mind you. :) Oh boy, do they lay waste to Joe Don Baker: his weight, his drinking, his stupidity---I mean in the movie, Joe Don---don't hurt me!; his bad acting. But the whole movie is enough of a stinker to provide plenty of fodder for the boys. This is the pivotal episode where Joel (after the movie) leaves the Satellite of Love for Earth, only to have Mike Nelson replace him (not shown here---just a "Push the button, Frank" from Dr. Forrester.

But the jokes are what make the show and they fly fast and furious:
"Hey, it's the chase scene's pace car!"
"Keep you eye on the sammich!"
"That cat Mitchell's a bad...(shut yo mouth!)...talkin' 'bout Mitchell!"
"He looks like one of the kids from Fame." "Which one?" "Any of 'em!"
"Hey, wasn't John Saxon in this movie?" (his last scenes cut out due to time constraints)

The visual gags are gangbusters also, like Mitchell's hidden gun sliding down the front of his pants, leading Joel to say, "What THE?!!"
Catching Mitchell with Baby Oil near his bed while carousing with Linda Evans and (Joel & the 'Bots) screaming in horror at the mere thought.

It just goes on & on. This MST3K is a must-own, both historically for Joel's passing of the torch to Mike and for flat-out hilarity that will leave you aching with laughter. Highly recommended.

DVD Review: " Mitchell ".....And to think that people were actually expected to PAY to watch this, in 1975!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Poor Joe Don Baker. He catches hell from Joel and the Bots, for this walk-through of a part. Too bad, without their hilarious commentary, this would be unwatchable. The one-liners just roll, right on through to the miserable ending of this little stinkfest. Look for the line where Mitchell is entertaining a call-girl that just walked off the set of THE BIG VALLEY,and forgot to change wardrobe. He hands her a can of Beer. " You've got me wrong, I'd like a glass." Mitchell: " Uh..OK, Your Majesty." Priceless. Long live giving bad movies their just due!!

Description of Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Mitchell

Studio: Wea-des Moines Video Release Date: 11/20/2001

This farewell episode for Joel Hodgson is a sentimental favorite but even more worth it for the hilarity spawned by our captured Satellite of Love friends. The movie centers on the hapless, big lug cop named Mitchell (Joe Don Baker), who fights the rich and powerful drug-dealing bad guys. Along the way, Mitchell finds himself investigating murder, falling "in sex" with Linda Evans, helping an elderly woman like a good son, and telling a bothersome wisecracking kid to buzz off. Match that with clothing and music from 1975 and you've got prime fodder for the biting remarks of Joel, Crow, and Tom Servo--which, of course, they take advantage of handily and in abundance. Mitchell has a few quiet areas but these are spotty, and when Joel and his mechanical friends start wisecracking, it's all hilariously worth the wait. Mitchell: So '70s, you'd swear Kris Kristofferson was moaning the theme song in the background. --Karen Karleski
