Ep 33. Backlot: MST3K: Santa Versus Satan

Backlot: MST3K: Santa Versus Satan is a comedic take on the traditional Christmas story. The episode follows two robots, Crow and Tom Servo, as they are forced to watch a hilariously bad movie by their evil captor, Dr. Clayton Forrester.

The movie they're watching is called Santa Claus, a Mexican film from 1959. The plot centers around Santa Claus, who lives in space and has an army of mechanical reindeer and a workshop full of child slaves. Santa Claus is out to defeat Satan, who wants to turn all the children of the world against Santa Claus.

Throughout the episode, Crow and Tom Servo make fun of the ridiculous plot, the terrible acting, and the low-budget special effects. They riff on everything from the creepy child slaves to the hilariously bad devil costume.

The episode also includes some classic MST3K sketches, including the Invention Exchange, where the robots show off their latest inventions, and the Mad Scientist Response, where Dr. Forrester responds to viewer mail.

Overall, Backlot: MST3K: Santa Versus Satan is a hilarious episode that pokes fun at one of the most bizarre Christmas movies ever made. Fans of MST3K and fans of bad movies alike will love this episode and its non-stop laughs.
