Mystery Science Theater 3000 started as a locally produced television show for KTMA in Minnesota but soon grew in popularity. It moved to Comedy Central (originally the Comedy Channel), then to Syfy. After an eighteen-year hiatus, the crew of the Satellite of Love returned in 2017, airing on Netflix for two seasons. In 2021, the production started its own streaming service, The Gizmoplex, where the riffing of cheesy movies continues. Over the years, there have been several "test subjects": Joel Robinson, Mike Nelson, Jonah Heston, and Emily Connor along with their robot friends Tom Servo, Crow T Robot, and Gypsy (now GPC) all subjected to bad movies thanks to a host of mad scientists including Doctor Clayton Forrester, his mother Pearl, and most recently Kinga Forrester.

The Invention Exchange for this week is Joel developing a special saw and Doctor Forester developing an extendable arm that can compensate for Mister Reed of the Fantastic 4's special power.
The feature movie, the 1953 Robot Monster, is short enough that there's time for two shorts: chapters 4 and 5 of Radar Men from the Moon. Nothing happens in any of them.

After the short, Joel, Crow and Tom Servo poke fun at slimy creatures from below the Earth who attack all the surface dwellers in LA.
Joel shows Crow and Tom Servo how he can juggle water, and then they're forced to watch chapter 7 and 8 of Comando Cody and Radar Men From The Moon before the main movie starts. The movie takes them to the moon on the big screen. In the Invention experiment, the guys invent ties of the future.
Clayton and Larry present Chapter 9 of Robot Men from the Moon. When the film breaks, they cut to the main movie, Robot Holocaust, a 1987 movie which features a band of adventurers wandering an apocalyptic wasteland and a series of basements battling the robot Dark One and his incomprehensibly accented assistant Valeria.
The Mads send Moon Zero Two, a bizarre Hammer 1960s flick which combines an animated sequence, cheesy special effects, the "acting" of James Olson and his disturbingly large forehead, Bond-style music, and a plot taken from an American Western.
