Mystery Science Theater 3000 - The Brain That Wouldn't Die description
Mystery Science Theater 3000 experienced a changing of the guard with this fifth-season episode. Departed series creator and lead Joel Hodgson was replaced by head writer Mike Nelson, playing a hapless temp named... Mike Nelson, who was sent into space to cover for Hodgson's escape. The opening credit sequence and title theme (warbled by Nelson) were also new, but the show's basic premise--poking fun at atrocious B movies--remained the same.

Nelson's debut "experiment" is the delirious 1960 head-transplant horror The Brain That Wouldn't Die. And while Nelson is occasionally stiff, particularly during the invention exchange (a longtime Hodgson staple, and soon to be excised), he and robot pals Crow and Tom Servo rise to the occasion during the film, which is filled with memorable zingers (Crow: "He's keeping her alive with Grey Poupon!"). Rhino's DVD presents the uncut, slightly gory version of Brain with and without the MST3K treatment. --Paul Gaita

HEAD GONE BAD

This was rather a Mystery Science Theater milestone, as the first Mike Nelson hosted episode (replacing Joel). Mike does a fine job.

MST3K provided Mike great source material. The Brain That Wouldn't Die is an infamous painful '50s sci-fi B-movie. An overview . . .

Brilliant surgeon is moonlighting in full body transplantation research -- girlfriend is decapitated in car crash -- surgeon preserves her functioning head in a pan in his lab as he scouts a replacement body for her (by functioning, I mean talking and the whole bit). She really has a bad personality now, sitting there in her little pan, with tubes running in and out. (Mike and the 'Bots get a lot of humor mileage out of the pan juice thing). Somehow she "communicates" verbally and telepathically with her new soul-mate, the frankensteinish goon locked up in the closest. Goon eventually eascapes, havoc ensues.

This is a very good MST3K effort, but I think the comedy, although good, was slightly tenuous due to the transition from Joel to Mike. I also think that they missed a great opportunity for a sketch with one of the robots heads functioning in a pan. Enjoy!
