the imdb entry for this movie lists "discrimination against anteaters" as keywords. Well done.

Servo wanted SO BAD to make that "Cube-an" joke, he was rocking back and forth with excitement. Easily the most adorable gumball machine.

Raúl Juliá sincerely putting his all into VO for wildlife stock footage is rather touching, he really didn’t have to but he gave his all to every part of this film

Who else is guilty for scrolling up this cinema while at work?

"And now the news." "...That was the news."

Say what you will, this movie really nailed the unholy hell that is a data entry desk job.

"I didn't want to bungle or bobble the Fingal dopple" I die laughing every time omg

"I thought he was Puerto Rican." "Don't say it." "Turns out he was CUBAN!"

Servo's increasing ire at the technospeak is still one of my favorite parts of this episode lmao

"Oh, it's T.V's Frank! He's went up in the world, good for him!" lmao

"You know, I bet nobody ever looks up *this* cinema." Damn, it took Mike all of 5 seconds to completely eviscerate this movie.

"Data entry with no pants." is my work from home mantra.

Apollonia: "Take a deep breath..." Crow: "Not THAT deep!"

"I seem to have died, is that okay??" I have seen this episode...LITERALLY more times than I can remember and that line with that face makes me BURST out laughing EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

I completely forgot "I'm playing the ponies on some well-meaning Liberal's coin; it's great!" And now I am dying.

“This lovely Raul Julia pendant available only on the Home Shopping Network” 😂😂 I lose it every time!

I don't know why, but there's something comforting about watching bad movies, especially with mst3k. At 3 am, it's the next best thing to relax after The Joy of painting.

Rual Julia was a hell of an actor. He tries his damnedest to make this movie watchable, but he just couldn't pull it off.

fun fact: the animal scenes in this movie are from a documentary called "animals are good people". I know this because we watched that documentary in high school and I can remember the animals getting drunk scene beat for beat because at the time it was easily one of the funniest things I had ever seen for school

"I seem to have died, is that ok?" lives rent free in my head

I didn't want to bungle or bobble the Fingal dopple.

"Surely this will cure him of his love of cinemas!"

54:30 Servo making all those fat man noises, combined with Mike and Crow (Bill) not being able to control their laughter about it; one of my favorite MST3K moments ever.

"I bet no one ever scrolls up THIS cinema." Savage! 😂

You know, I have the feeling the people who made this movie haven't seen any 'cinemas' either.

This movie looks like a Sega CD game.

“I need other things from you, Felicia.” Mike: I need you to seal-coat my driveway.

"I seem to have died, is that okay?"

This is one of the few films I’ve seen featured on MST3k that I just genuinely enjoy for its own merits. It’s a perfect microcosm of the eighties’s particular interpretation of the future. The bad stuff is goofy without being off-putting. Raul Julia is just giving the role everything he’s got. And damn it, the idea of transferring your entire mind and soul onto a vulnerable flash drive is pretty intriguing. But seriously-did an anteater kill the director’s father over a rigged poker game or something? Why all the hate?

This was The Matrix *before* The Matrix, and Raoul is *THE ONE!*

This is tied with Werewolf and Time Chasers as the greatest MST3K eipsodes ever.

The Mike and Pearl years with Prof. Bobo and "Brain Guy" were my absolute favorite!

My favorite line is still “ I’ll see you on the Dark Side of Raul”🤣

I miss the days when local TV stations would take risks and produce their own content. You used to be able to see some great stuff.

"Hooray for socks!" There is no reason that should be as funny as it is. One of my favorite jokes in the episode 🤣

to this day, i still consider the mst3k end credit theme music to be the saddest music ever created.

My mother passed under traumatic circumstances when i was 10 y/o. On Saturday mornings, as my father and i sat together quietly, these guys gave me the feeling that i was present with friends and i wasn't bringing the mood down by being sad and i didn't need to explain myself. Thanks to these entertainers.

"Wait! Switch to analog!" "It has a warmer sound" 😂

"ident" "that's a shame. Maybe you need a poly vinyl coating.." I am dying!!

Anyone else watch these so many times that now they just listen to it as they play games?

At 54:30 when Servo starts in on the fat man sound effects, hearing Crow laugh so hard makes my heart happy for some reason haha

"I know most people thought he was a pain in the neck, but I never thought that." Apollonia literally SLAPS Fingal. She spends most of the movie scolding him. Why do you feel the need to lie, Apollonia?

"I'd better call for a medico." Tom: "Yeah, on the voice-com-flavo-link-synth-aaaaaaaach!!!"

RIP Raúl Juliá. Greatest performance next to M.Bison.

"You must keep things normal. No surprises. Maintain the routine!" To help with this I re-created his dead mother to help him.

One joke that has stuck in my craw since I first heard it that I think doesn't get enough attention: Rick: Fingal... It's up to you... Fingal: It's okay, buddy. I can handle it. Crow: And just what is the "it" which is to him "up" and which he can perhaps handle?

"Surely this will cure him of his love of cinemas"

Woah, huge slam on anteaters outta nowhere!

54:45 The whole Servo Fat Man cough and hack bit is hilarious. Then hearing the other guys laugh under their breath...kills me every time. XDD

This is the greatest MST3K episode of them all.

Love this program and my baby boy used to watch this along time ago. I miss those days. He is all grown up, and married. Those were fond memories 😊

"Were we just yelled at by a pork roast?"

20:13 - I seem to have died, is that okay? 35:08 - Are you ready to put him back in his own body? 50:31 - Here's looking at you 53:25 - You make me tingle, Fingal 54:32 - Burp!

I love the Pearl and Brain Guy duet. And her swift destruction of spot-light hogging Professor Bobo.

The absolute distain that Servo has for the techno-jargon is so subtle and it's so, so funny

I like the Pearl/Observer duet...

12:27 “prophylactic rehab, fingal!” -they’re gonna retread his condom?

Raul Julia is great in this. RIP

The "So aging lesbian nuns run the future?" riff has to be one of my favorites in all of MST3K

say what you will, "you almost god mustard on his brain!" is a GREAT line.

When the gang starts pouring in the wheeze, fart and burp noises when Fat Man has his speech by the pool; I literally laughed to the point of tears while hunched over. Goddamn.

To this day, “Well that’s a shame, maybe you need a polyvinyl coating?” will be the single funniest goof the MST3K writing team has ever created.

I got sent here because I got caught doppling my fingal in a public bathroom and now I'm forced to perform prophylactic rehab by enjoying this fine film.

I remember being a kid and laughing so hard at "Loving Lovers Love" that I had tears running down my face. Mary Jo will always be my favorite MST3K writer.

R.I.P. to Linda Griffiths, our Appolonia James.

"You know.. If only she'd turn to a cold beer I Would've been perfect". This line kills me every time! omg 🤣 48:37

"See you on the darkside of Raul..." Damned if that doesn't get me everytime...

36:10 "Mom, you died a long time ago, I haven't seen you in 15 years." (spoonful of soup) XD

"This is how much pure cocaine you would need to enjoy this movie." I don't doubt that. I'm only on a moderate amount of cough syrup, and it's certainly not doing the job. Thank God for Mike and the Bots.

So, technically, this movie is cyberpunk.

Very accurate depiction of local PBS pledge drives I remember from my childhood, except Pearl has a lot more charisma than the actual people who had no business being on television groveling for money for their television station.

Raul Julia's Bogart really isn't too bad.

In spite of all its problems (and ya its got a ton) I gotta admit I kinda like this weird little movie. It feels like a high school production that managed to get 1 legendary actor in its cast. I bet they scored Raul with the Casablanca angle...

Best line is during the blizzard scene: "This is how much pure cocaine you would need to enjoy this movie."

This is my favorite MS3TK bar none.. Although Pumaman is very very close. My Nuts.. Happy Together.. Bollocks!

"Listen to me, Fingal. Your navel's really deep, I can't even see to the bottom of it. And if you fall in, I can't guarantee I'll pull you out." You heard it here first, folks.

So , in this “ super futuristic “ reality, where computers literally run the world...they keep track of massively important surgeries with color coded pieces of cardboard ?

Just love the 80s educational video look of this movie.

My dad knew Señor Raul Julia in high school. They were in a play together. They both couldn’t act then. 🇵🇷

This movie feels like it's missing Steve Buscemi for some reason.

What gets me every time I cue this episode up is how desperately Apollonia mishandles the situation when she's trying to keep Fingal pacified. If she'd identified herself immediately and basically said, "Um, you're gonna have to sit tight in the Matrix for a while, just chill in your room or something," the situation would probably have been defused. Instead she fuels Fingal's paranoia right from the start by pretending to be other people (a telephone operator, his mother) and delivering cryptic and very worrying messages. What the heck was that supposed to accomplish? Another thing: even though Novicorp and the "Fat Man" are supposed to be the bad guys, really they are _incredibly_ patient with Fingal when you think about it. He's doing a lot of damage, screwing up the world's weather and shit like that, but they're still willing to give him a chance at rescue. And why is he in this situation in the first place? Pissing around at work watching movies instead of doing his job. The film tries to pretend Fingal is some kind of rebel against an unjust system but he comes across like a spoiled, selfish asshole who ruins every chance given him.

The movie got a lot more watchable when I realised that Fingal was the villain. I mean, the writers apparently didn't intend him to be, but he is.

Being a UK fan of this show pre KZfaq days meant multi region dvd players and importing dvds over. Nowadays it's even easier than ever to keep circulating the tapes

This is definitely one of the best MST3K episodes ever made. I had to rewind every few minutes because I was laughing too hard to hear what was going on.

@12:48 "Imagine me and you, and you and me. No matter how they tossed the dice, It had to be..."

I LOVE YOU THIS MUUUUUCH!! ...I DON'T CARE FOR YOU!!

And this is why PBS now imports movies from England instead of producing their own.

"Hey don't bogart that man."

If I were making a list of my Top 10 MST episodes, this would make the cut.

One of my all time favorite MST3K's!

What's that? Leaving people with open skulls and exposed brains in a strictly closed area of a mental institution/rehabilitation center where the entire lives of the people within depend on the outcomes of their experiences during a highly questionable and probably dangerous procedure? LET'S LET KIDS IN!!!

52:00 Because I'm that guy, Casablanca has a mild Mediterranean climate. The record high in July is 104, and the average high is 79.

"I guess this movie was kinda like watching Casablanca... while having a small child use your groin as a punching bag." Hahahahaha!

As a chairperson of STEDAA (Society To End Discrimination Against Anteaters) I must protest this film.

Along with Alien From L.A.(1988), Overdrawn at TMB (1983) is a b-movie classic, the MST3K treatment of which is both entertaining & soothing. + Kathy Ireland's acting zenith, Mr. Eating Raul, & Pearl PTV. "Let's watch, won't we?" Alien From L.A. and OATMB represent MST3K in apex-mode as the movies themselves, despite being highly derivative, are actually decent films in their own right and w/the addition of Mike and the Bots high-quality riffing transcend their b-movie roots entirely to become resplendent cinematic entities that are as strangely calming as they are fun to screen. Finally, Overdrawn ATMB shares the distinction of being one of the few films to feature an "Apollonia", e.g. The Godfather (1974).

I really do want the "You know you want me, baby" t-shirt. Maybe I can buy it through Public Pearl TV. Act now and get two for the price of one, AND they'll throw in a handy nightlight. 13:04 "I have data to process!" Because this is THE FUTURE, where we process data.

I'm as clumsy as a STUPID, REPULSIVE ANTEATER!

19:57 "Take a deep breath.." "Not that deep!"

Every time, I forget just how on point every single line in this movie is! I was constantly laughing from the second the intro credits began! Not to mention maybe my favorite sketch of the whole show, Pearl! Pearl! Pearl! Pearl! Pearl!

“I’ll have what I’m having”
