I actually liked "marooned". They went for a dry docudrama feel. The boys in the satellite of Love made it their own though. I think this is one of their best treatments.
53:00 Crow: "Now we suggest that you start breathing in shifts." 53:06 Peck: "Now listen Jim, we're still working on that engine..." Servo: "Oh you got the engine down there? No wonder it doesn't work."
So apparently, the films original name is Marooned. Based on the book that shares the same name. In 1991 it was redistributed under "Space Travelers" by an "ultra-low budget" production company. This is probably how MST3K got their hands on this film.
My favorite episode of MST3K. The riffing is great throughout. Crow (Trace) is hlarious as Peck. The movie is based on the novel by Martin Caidin, who would later write "Cyborg", the basis for the TV series The Six Million Dollar Man (1974).
But this film was not a “bad” movie. It was up for 3 Oscars and brought home one. The uncut version does hold up as a chilling film. The MST crew hacked the film to shreds to get it to time out for them. I admit that I saw the original on late night television so I may be biased. I really liked it as a movie. It had Gregory freaking Peck for crying out loud! Crow was the best in this. Yeah well bite me Harry O! It’s a Honda, a CRX two seater so one of you has to go…
@@josebrown5961 The MST3K crew did not hack apart the movie. This was a 1991 rerelease version put out by a low-budget distributor who retitled it as Space Travelers.
@@LordZontarBut they did cut liberally from the film to get the run time down to work with the MST format. That film’s standard run time is 134 minutes. So MST cut the film to make it work. The original film was erie and suspenseful, the director used sound to make things feel like it was real. It also made it feel like those astronauts were at death’s door. MST cut a lot of that out .
I love that they're pretending to be astronauts in the host segments when, if you think about it, they're the most experienced astronauts in history already.
I remember I would get off the schoolbus and my older brother would be watching this on TV. I remember asking what the "bird thing" was only to be told it was a "crow".
Note the line about "do we have enough fuel to re-dock with the lab" - their Apollo module had been docked with a separate lab unit which had plenty of oxygen, but they cut loose in order to end their mission.
This was one of the first episodes I ever saw of this show. I was a depressed, college kid in the Spring of '93 when the friend of a friend loaned us a copy of his Turkey Day '92 VHS tape with about 8 or 10 episodes on it. Did this ever cheer me up! I still think 401 is one of the best, even though I am more of a 'Mike' guy. Trace's Peck is awesome.
This show also got me through a super depressing, lonely time in my young adult life. I know it seems crazy that a TV show can actually do something like help depression and make someone feel less alone but it truly did. There is something so comforting about watching it.
@ 14.11 - Houston, this is Ironman One. How do you copy? On a Zerox machine, how about you? My favorite quip of the entire movie. And the fact that Hackman (who is ALWAYS good) said the original line makes it even funnier.
Kevin Murphy recounts, in the MST3K Amazing Colossal Episode Guide, of encountering a hostile Dennis Miller when the crew was invited to his show: "Dennis mumbled something about us slipping because we had done Marooned on our show and it was a pretty good movie and maybe we'd lost our touch. In a word, he slammed us. Then he just sat there, sweating, staring at us blankly, and we smiled and stared back, then it was time to go."
Marooned just wasn't that good a movie despite its incredible actor roster. The acting was stilted and the editing and writing were terrible. The effects were total trash compared to 2001.
BY FAR my favorite quip of this episode (granted I tend to fall asleep halfway through due to sheer exhaustion from work) was at 22:05 -- "Just keep it trivial, keep it routine -- we may not have a problem." "Yessir." "This is Mission Control, Houston" -- Crow: "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" I completely lost my shit at that one! xD
Yes you can! Just watch the original version of this. “Marooned” is 134 minutes long and is quite chilling. I am not sure if it will work for you since you have seen the MST version first. I saw the original on TV in the 70s. I remember it to be a decent film. It had some really heavy hitters in the cast. Hackman and Peck with Janssen sprinkled on top? I think I am going to try to stream an original version and see if I can do it without laughing my butt off.
23:14-23:20 - "You know, it's neat how they all have their own little tasks...you know? hats creative"- Joel (Astronauts continuing checklist) "Word up"- Servo LOL!! I had to go grab my freaking inhaler LOL
This movie won an academy award for best sound editing.. The beep beep beep aka the Russian Sputnik transmission , and the groovy organ reverb that sounds just like a rescue ship in space.. 😎
That's hilarious because I was just coming to the comments to complain about the constant beeping and breathing into the mic. It was driving me up the wall!
Audio for film (foley, sound design, scoring) is a true art form though! It elevates the drama and makes it feel more real and immediate. In fact, MST3K is a great place to find examples of how flat a film can feel when the audio is lackluster.
Also, no one that high on the NASA chain would suggest a rescue mission like that guy in the brown suit did. These guys are all stoic and highly aware of the risks of space travel. No astronaut would flip out like Hackman did, and no member of the flight team on the ground would suggest a rescue mission under the circumstances, cost in money and human life and time constraints they were facing.
Your a moron !! We don't need to encourage that kind of thinking at NASA.... That type of thinking killed the crew of Columbia and indirectly the Shuttle program itself.. Of course the Democrats were central to the problem in the 1st place... John Kennedy would have left the party if he could have seen the socialists taking control........
19:13 -- RE: "So how come forehead here gets all the dialogue?" -- Good question, Tom! Turns out, this feature presentation (for all its faults) does have some of the details correct, because NASA really did have a guy narrating the events of the moment onto an official record, explaining (from time to time) what some of the technobabble means. Not only for the Apollo missions either, but the Gemini and Mercury program too. Try doing a search of Archive Dot Org through the NASA Audio Collection, and you'll find whole missions worth, with some notable missing tapes.
And Yeah, it's not like an official record of what the CAPCOM and astronauts alone are saying (complete with Quindar tones) but an additional third person who speaks as "the voice of Mission Control" breaks in periodically to add narrative detail. For Apollo, these Voices took shifts to cover the entirety of the mission, although the last 3 days was pretty dull. This is what responsible transparency sounds like.
+SGP Productions MST3K had to cut segments out of many of the movies they did, to make it fit into a 90 minute episode. It's unfortunately, but hopefully they just cut out the dullest parts.
As bad as Marooned was, they did get something right that Apollo 13 got wrong. In Apollo 13, they show one of the astronauts looking out the window BEFORE tower jettison. Not possible. The tower is attached to the BPC (Boost Protection Cover) which totally covers the Command Module. So no windows to look out of until after tower jettison. This movie got it correct.
That’s because it was an actual good movie. It came out a few months after the moon landing and was nominated for 3 Oscars. If you had seen it in its standard length without the riffing you would get it. I was surprised when I saw the host segment and they said it was actually “Marooned.” They took a good film and made it funny. That in and of itself means that Joel and the crew were comedic masters.
Funny how this movie came out a month before Apollo 13. It gave one of the astronaut's wives nightmares, in fact. Also, all their other space capsules are named after superheroes too. Next one would have been Spider-Man if the Marvel program hadn't been cancelled...
I especially love the part with the Russian trying to rescue them multiple times, having to reposition his craft multiple times,his stretch and grabbing empty space with Hackman floating away lmao 😆. I would've said F*** it if I were him.
Here's the pitch for this movie: "ok, it starts with these people talking, then the next scene is some different people talking, we change it up next by having the first people talking in a different room. Alright, next is where we really eat up that 8 mil budget...we got 12, count 'em 12 people talking in a huge room! Oh man, we'll win an Oscar for sure with that one! And the big finale...you'll never guess...these people.....THEY'RE TALKING!!!!!!!" "Sounds killer! Here's the 8 mil!" Ugh. Who wastes more money, Nasa or Hollywood?
omg ..id sneak downstairs to watch this when I knew id get a beating but I would laugh like I was in class like I shouldn't make noise ..what a great show
I know I watched this thousands of years ago but ..holy crap!
An actual movie with actual actors!
This is going to be so good.
"We need you to help them save oxygen by saying your last goodbyes to them and making them agitated and cry!"
Exactly! Good one, idiots.
It's VITAL that they see no great need to breathe.
I actually liked "marooned". They went for a dry docudrama feel. The boys in the satellite of Love made it their own though. I think this is one of their best treatments.

And their dub of it is actually pretty good.

Ron Howard was taking notes vigorously when this came out.
"I have the perfect role for Clint!" He exclaimed while the control room scenes where on
'Tangerine Dream, Tomita, Wendy Carlos, Enya.'. Damn, these guys listened to the same music I did back in the day.
anonagain 10:50 koyaanisqatsi
Still listen to Tangerine dream sometimes, awesome music
I can identify.
I’ve heard them reference DEVO and the Yamaha DX7 specifically. True Renaissance men.
“I was just about to become a Star Child”. Brilliant.
Fewer phrases have made me laugh as hard as “Zeppelin Lungs Hackman”... this episode is such a gem...
Lee Grant, Nancy Kovack and Mariette Hartley as the weepy wives -- a 1970 TV time capsule.
For a movie with three Oscar nominations (and even one win), it sure didn't feel out of place on this show.
It's surprising how occasionally good the b movies are,as well as how badly an a-lister can play
Makes ya think, don't it?
Are you serious this won an oscar
It won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
Its budget was 8 - 10 million usd and only grossed 4.1 at the box office.
Gene Hackman is now 94 years old and still doing well! Wow!
This movie has to have been the biggest Hollywood feature film ever to wind up awful enough to get ripped and riffed on MST3K.
@Max William Lauf Don't forget Clint Eastwood.
This was an Oscar winner, too!
But this film was not a “bad” movie. It was up for 3 Oscars and brought home one.
The uncut version does hold up as a chilling film. The MST crew hacked the film to shreds to get it to time out for them.

The sets needed near-constant rebuilding due to Hackman chewing on them.
Yeah they had to make sure he didn't destroy the spacecraft as he goes apeshit from talking to his wife
I have heard 'Hollywood scuttlebutt' that Mr. Hackman is prone to the trappings of an overweening ego, on set.
But he was so good!🤣
Trace/Crow really does do a good Gregory Peck impression.
He forgot to kill Damian.
Yeah. Trace is a very talented individual.
I remember I would get off the schoolbus and my older brother would be watching this on TV. I remember asking what the "bird thing" was only to be told it was a "crow".
Crow's impression of Gregory Peck is so good, I'm having trouble figuring out which one is which.
"Man, Hackman's really good in this."
I've had that problem in a couple of videos. Different actors though.
It makes me laugh everytime
Isn't it ironic though, that the more emotion he lets creep into his voice, the more Peck sounds like Leonard Nimoy, everyone's favorite Vulcan?
“Play the video game. Read the Bantam Book. Soundtrack available on RSO Records, or hit the demo button on any Casio keyboard.”
Those demos haven't changed in like 30 years...I swear they're still the same as when I was a kid.
Loved the delivery of the "Bantam Books!"
So entertaining and fantastic and the show only got more jokes per minute as the seasons went on! Enjoy! 🌝
G Peck took that speech about how big a success the failure was going to be straight from Rocketship X M where we lost Lloyd Bridges.
I also flipped my shit when Crow went "Always with the negative waves!" HELL YES KELLY'S HEROES.
Oddball is good in everything.
"Mechanical genius!"
Peck: It was an accident, he was trying to repair the space craft
Joel: And he shot himself
If they took all the silence out of this movie, it'd be 20min long.
Better than Sharknado!
Just like Meet Joe Black.
@Joshua Simonson well at least they dont play the music when someone is talking .
Happy ten year anniversary for this video! Crazy that I just happened to watch it today
I think my favorite line is, "We got a call from Hackman ... he said "AGGHGHGHGHGHHGGH!"
In the tv deal they agreed to cut out everything oscar worthy and replace iT with up to date opening credit technology.
Note the line about "do we have enough fuel to re-dock with the lab" - their Apollo module had been docked with a separate lab unit which had plenty of oxygen, but they cut loose in order to end their mission.

I still think 401 is one of the best, even though I am more of a 'Mike' guy. Trace's Peck is awesome.
You related to actor Bill Paxton? He was a great actor.
@2012endofanerror what do you have to be depressed about... you're gorgeous!
This show also got me through a super depressing, lonely time in my young adult life. I know it seems crazy that a TV show can actually do something like help depression and make someone feel less alone but it truly did. There is something so comforting about watching it.
You're not gonna like this... I was born in 93 and I'm 30 now.
Love how during a freaking rocket launch the interior of the ship is completely quiet and still.
"I lost the bill to the insurance"
"I'd find it and pay it if I were you". 🤣

"I'm sorry, Dave, I mean, J.P."
@ 14.11 - Houston, this is Ironman One. How do you copy?
On a Zerox machine, how about you?
My favorite quip of the entire movie. And the fact that Hackman (who is ALWAYS good) said the original line makes it even funnier.
@58:30 "There's not enough oxygen up there to last three men that long..." "What about six midgets?"is my favorite xD
Iron Man and no Robert Downy Jr.??
Xerox?
Lex Luthor, Colonel Trautman, and Brent in space
Rambo...Rambo 😂
Crow's impersonation is im-Peck-able
8 years later, your take is still funny.
"No no no no" lmaooo
Go home 😆
Pecker Head~!!!
The Gregory Peck impersonations are incredible. My God I had to watch this episode twice because it was so funny!
Trace: "The presence of Gregory Peck or Gene Hackman does not diminish the pain in any way!"
Did anyone mention how good Gene Hackman is in this?
Kevin Murphy recounts, in the MST3K Amazing Colossal Episode Guide, of
encountering a hostile Dennis Miller when the crew was invited to his
show: "Dennis mumbled something about us slipping because we had done
Marooned on our show and it was a pretty good movie and maybe we'd lost
our touch. In a word, he slammed us. Then he just sat there, sweating,

to go."
CaptainOT it's not the only good about the movie marooned was the miniatures 😊
Dennis is savage.
Marooned just wasn't that good a movie despite its incredible actor roster. The acting was stilted and the editing and writing were terrible. The effects were total trash compared to 2001.
I never thought Dennis Miller was funny, and what's with the spacing?
Dennis Miller was never funny, he just sold his soul to the devil to convince a few executives he was but it only worked until 1996.
For all the MST3K I've watched over the years, I never had seen this one before.
Stunned at Joel's Residents reference! Made my day lol
Thank you for uploading all these episodes. I used to watch this as a kid and I can’t remember ever laughing so much since.
BY FAR my favorite quip of this episode (granted I tend to fall asleep halfway through due to sheer exhaustion from work) was at 22:05 --
"Just keep it trivial, keep it routine -- we may not have a problem."
"Yessir."
"This is Mission Control, Houston" -- Crow: "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"
I completely lost my shit at that one! xD
shug yep crow yelling "We"er all going to die "woke me up lol
Truly hilariously awful this movie may be, the idea of launching a rescue mission through the eye of a hurricane is legitimately badass.
Right? Like, I wanna watch the movie about THAT launch
Yes you can! Just watch the original version of this. “Marooned” is 134 minutes long and is quite chilling.
I am not sure if it will work for you since you have seen the MST version first. I saw the original on TV in the 70s. I remember it to be a decent film. It had some really heavy hitters in the cast. Hackman and Peck with Janssen sprinkled on top?

Still more entertaining the Castle of Fu Man Chu....

That scene where the astronauts talk to their wives actually made me misty eyed lol
Mst eyed
Yeah, that'll happen when you laugh too hard.
Teraysa?
I agree it was actually a well done part.
This movie won an academy award for best sound editing.. The beep beep beep aka the Russian Sputnik transmission , and the groovy organ reverb that sounds just like a rescue ship in space.. 😎
That was for the original film called 'Marooned', which had almost NO musical score.. The 'Space Travelers' edit for some reason added an awful organ.
That's hilarious because I was just coming to the comments to complain about the constant beeping and breathing into the mic. It was driving me up the wall!
what cracks me up is there is an award out there for best sound editing
@@piestillaintreal6114 I agree, that mic breathing was pretty unforgivably painful, regardless of how much realism it added to the scene.
Audio for film (foley, sound design, scoring) is a true art form though! It elevates the drama and makes it feel more real and immediate. In fact, MST3K is a great place to find examples of how flat a film can feel when the audio is lackluster.
I actually quite enjoyed the slow, claustrophobic feeling of the movie.

To this day I can't see Gene hackman without wanting to call him "Ole Zeppelin Lungs"!
People just don't say "Screwed the pooch" enough anymore.
@Nicholas Moose There's a comedian who does a great bit about that.
Commentiquette uses something similar when tweeting at Scott “I use dogs as condoms” Baio...
Here's a "Screwed the pooch" in recognition of 2022.

"8 million dollars and they're STILL using stock footage!"
The stock footage probably COST 8 million dollars!
The stock footage was probably shot just a few months prior to the release of this movie.
At least they didn't need shots of V2s taking off, like 99% of SF films before this...
It takes some serious talent to make a film made in 1991 look like its from 1971.
Space Travelers/Marooned was released in 1969, I guess the Film Ventures version was ripped off in 1991
pretty sure Gregory Peck didnt look like that in 91
As a child of the 70s, I object. That's 1951 if it's a day.
1:11:53 "haunting isn't it?"

You missed that this was the first time humans had been in space for that long. Nobody knew how it would affect people.
In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, I watched the CBS replay of the Launch this morning. Now I am watching this MST3K claasic!!

SO! IN SHORT, Tom Servo's question has a very pithy answer. That is the often mentioned and never before seen Third Person.
One of my favorite MST3K's. Hilarious throughout.
Not many people realize this film is edited from a much better movie, called Marooned. This is a cheaply slapped together version for TV.
+SGP Productions
MST3K had to cut segments out of many of the movies they did, to make it fit into a 90 minute episode. It's unfortunately, but hopefully they just cut out the dullest parts.
+NameNotAlreadyTaken2 No, he means that Space Travelers is cut from Marooned, he's not talking about the cuts that MST3k made.
THIS MOVIE IS GOOD!
THANK YOU! MAROONED IS GREAT!
It's a fantastic movie! This is just a dumbed down version spliced from clips!
So the actual movie came out in the 70s ( Marooned), this said 1991? Was it a mad for TV adaptation?
As bad as Marooned was, they did get something right that Apollo 13 got wrong. In Apollo 13, they show one of the astronauts looking out the window BEFORE tower jettison. Not possible. The tower is attached to the BPC (Boost Protection Cover) which totally covers the Command Module. So no windows to look out of until after tower jettison. This movie got it correct.
I want that prop money with the bots on it. I love it! Keep up the good work!
Dude same.
Oh Gene Hackman he's good in anything
But where is that actual line? I can't remember - it has been 30 years since I've seen this.
Ebert gave Space Travelers (aka Marooned) three out of four stars. Let that sink in.
Ebert frequently took bribes.
That’s because it was an actual good movie. It came out a few months after the moon landing and was nominated for 3 Oscars.
If you had seen it in its standard length without the riffing you would get it.
I was surprised when I saw the host segment and they said it was actually “Marooned.” They took a good film and made it funny. That in and of itself means that Joel and the crew were comedic masters.
Funny how this movie came out a month before Apollo 13. It gave one of the astronaut's wives nightmares, in fact.
Also, all their other space capsules are named after superheroes too. Next one would have been Spider-Man if the Marvel program hadn't been cancelled...
Actually a month before Apollo 12
"10-4 killer Peck...."
"We suggest you start breathing in shifts.."
"Roger on that glory hold, sir." Ha! Talk about slipping one past the censors.

lol
How about when the crew said, "We have SECO" and Servo said, "They have Seka onboard?" Good one!
"Screw your rational approach . . . Yeah, well bite me Harry O!"
Why didn't they call Superman?
5:12
"Women be different than men!"
That joke aged absolutely wonderfully.

I especially love the part with the Russian trying to rescue them multiple times, having to reposition his craft multiple times,his stretch and grabbing empty space with Hackman floating away lmao 😆. I would've said F*** it if I were him.
Pretty innovative to have a movie without a story or anything happening.
this has to be one of the BEST riffs the boys did.
"Shoes for industry! Shoes for the dead!" Firesign Theater reference.
40:04 - The best host segment they ever did. Crow is so good in this. He is good in everything. Almost Hackman good.
It's always so fun when the movie is actually halfway decent.
1:12:49 "So, I was wondering if you'd like to have some dinner. You like Chinese? I know this place it's called The Crash Pad." LMAO 😂
(@12:50) I have been looking for the "Say No to Yes" joke for so many years...still my little favorite MST3K quip from ages ago.
Oh wow, that haunting music at 1:11:46 was used in Pod People’s intro xD
I love how they make fun of Hackman in this. Brilliant
wow such great stars in such a mega stinker, no Oscars here,
Suddenly, I have the urge to drink Tang.
Yes they do. Love this film both the real film and the MST treatment...YEAH well BITE ME HARRY-O!!
Taking a break from the MST3K Foreverathon to revisit this great “missing” episode and movie. 💚
Wow, eerily similar to Apollo 13's incident.
WOW, deep firesign theater reference - 40:36 - "I read 'gypsy,' doctor"
This basically happened 2 years later on Apollo 13
I keep hearing "Michigan troll" when I know the one guy is saying "Mission control".

LOL. Depressurizing would waste a bunch of oxygen. In reality, the commander would seal up their suit and take a cyanide pill.
1:12:52 "So, I was wondering if you'd like to have dinner...." Smooth.
Here's the pitch for this movie: "ok, it starts with these people talking, then the next scene is some different people talking, we change it up next by having the first people talking in a different room. Alright, next is where we really eat up that 8 mil budget...we got 12, count 'em 12 people talking in a huge room! Oh man, we'll win an Oscar for sure with that one! And the big finale...you'll never guess...these people.....THEY'RE TALKING!!!!!!!"
"Sounds killer! Here's the 8 mil!"
Ugh. Who wastes more money, Nasa or Hollywood?
