Easily one of the best later-year, Sci-Fi Channel MST episodes, this features a genuinely ridiculous exercise in low-budget time travel adventures (and I use that last word very loosely). It makes little in the way of sense, but that's all for the better -- because Mike and the 'bots have a field day with it. Picture a mullet-haired geeky loser (Tom Servo: "Movie, this CANNOT be our hero") who lives in Vermont ("City on the go!" -- you'll see whan you watch it), mysteriously invents a time travel doohickey via his Commodore 64-looking computer, or rather, his little airplane (don't ask, just watch), mistakenly sells it to an evil CEO who uses it to ruin the world of the future -- which mostly involves strip malls and pretty much looks like modern day Vermont. It's not as bad as it sounds -- no, actually, it's worse. But the jokes are consistently dead-on hilarious and the linking skits are also great (the Satellite of Love gang have some time travel problems of their own); heck, even Pearl isn't too annoying in this one. Definitely one of the Mike era's finest, and you'll enjoy his prologue introducing the episode.
