In the season 5 episode 8 of Mystery Science Theater 3000 titled "Operation Double 007," our beloved robots Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot join their human companion Joel Robinson as they sit down to watch a cheesy spy movie. The movie in question is the 1967 spy thriller "Operation Double 007," starring Neil Connery, the younger brother of the famous James Bond actor Sean Connery.

As the film begins, Joel and the bots are immediately perplexed by the confusing plot, stilted acting, and terrible special effects. The movie follows the adventures of a low-level Scottish secret agent named Neil Connery, who is inexplicably chosen to impersonate his identical twin brother, James Bond, in order to stop a criminal organization from destroying NATO. Along the way, Neil battles femme fatales, henchmen with terrible Irish accents, and evil masterminds with names like "Mr. Thair" and "Miss Devine."

As usual, Joel and the bots provide a running commentary on the movie, cracking jokes and pointing out the numerous plot holes and absurdities. They make fun of Neil Connery's wooden acting, the film's cheap sets and costumes, and the over-the-top Bond rip-off cliches. They also perform several hilarious skits and musical numbers, including a parody of the James Bond theme song and a bit where Tom Servo dons a ridiculous Scottish accent.

Throughout the episode, the trio endures a number of bizarre interludes, including a surreal dream sequence featuring Joel's therapist and a bizarre musical number featuring the robots doing a song-and-dance routine in a cardboard kitchen.

Despite its flaws, "Operation Double 007" provides plenty of opportunities for Joel and the bots to riff on the movie's many cheesy moments. Fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000 will no doubt enjoy this hilarious episode, as well as the witty banter and silly antics of our beloved robot companions.
