SALUTE OF THE JUGGER
(1989, David Webb Peoples)
A Mad Max-esque post apocalyptic world provides the backdrop for a brutal, futuristic game resembling football, but with sticks. Nice.

THE ALIEN FACTOR
(1978, Don Dohler)
Meet Leemoid, Zagatile and Interbyce. They’re the three aliens whose spaceship has crashed in a small town outside of Baltimore. See this film they way it was meant to be seen - on the big screen with CINEMATIC TITANIC.

THE UNEARTHLY
(1957, Boris Petroff)
Mad doctor uses patients at his isolated psychiatric institute as subjects in his attempts to create longevity by surgically installing an artificial gland in their skulls, with disastrous results of course.
Classic MST3k!

FIRST SPACESHIP ON VENUS
(1960, Kurt Maetzig)
When an alien artifact discovered on Earth is found to have come from Venus, an international team of astronauts embarks to investigate its origins. Based on a Stanislaw Lem story, ruined by Maetzig and redeemed by Mike and the crew.
Classic MST3k!
