Review Summary
In the not to distant future, Mike Nelson is knocked out and sent into outer space by his evil boss Dr. Claton Forrestor.
Dr. Forrestor conducts "experaments" on Mike while in space. He sends him horrible B-movies and makes him watch them. Mike has for robots cambot/magic voice, and Gypsy who control the ship and Tom Servo and Crow who watch the movies with him. The three of them make fun of the movies. In the motion picture they make fun of the 1950's This Island Earth.
