: Can you please explain what MST3K is? And what is "Parts: The Clonus Horror" ???

: Regards, Perry Dueck

MST3K=Mystery Science Theater 3000. It is a TV show (I forget which
channel it's on now), where three characters sit down and watch old cheesy
movies, like the Godzilla films, and other much-less known films.
Throughout the film, they make all these weird, funny comments, which are
much funnier (IMHO) than the film is.

"Parts: The Clonus Horror" is probably the film they were showing that
day. But, it does sound like the type of film they would have on the show.
