Movie Summary  Shorts: Money Talks | Progress Island:  Enjoy our shorts. Money Talks: The visage of Benjamin Franklin haunts a young boy and taunts him about money matters; Progress Island is agitprop created to lure people from the perfectly good United States to Puerto Rico.  Movie: The Beast Of Yucca Flats:  Within the first sixty seconds of The Beast Of Yucca Flats, a young woman sitting in her room after a shower is strangled, then molested by the title character. Yes, Coleman Francis's vision. Francis flails at a plot involving Tor Johnson as Russian scientist Joseph Javorski, who has defected to New Mexico for some reason. Then for some reason he's in the desert and there's a nuclear explosion, which, for some reason, renders Tor into the beast of Yucca Flats. He then kills randomly and wantonly, all the while with narration by Coleman Francis consisting of aimless sentences. Meanwhile, for some reason two young boys are lost in the desert, then found, the beast is found and killed, and another Coleman Francis movie comes to a thankful end. — Paul Chaplin Host Segments  Prologue:  Mike wallpapers the Satellite of Love with many different wallpapers and the annoying assistance of Servo and Crow.  Segment 1:  Forrester and Frank rally in support of Proposition Deep 13. which is rather vague but rich in sound bites. Mike, Crow, and Servo issue a rebuttal.  Segment 2:  A loud party in a nearby trailer home disrupts the SOL, and the partyers hassle the guys.  Segment 3:  Crow asks Mike if it's 11:30. And keeps asking.  Segment 4:  Crow implores viewers to give generously to the Film Anti-Preservation Society, which will allow such films as The Beast Of Yucca Flats to rot away peacefully.  Segment 5:  Mike gives his victory speech. He and the 'Bots have triumphed over the movie. Frank and Forrester give their concession speech.  Stinger:  Tor Johnson flails and bellow's as only Tor and a few silverbacks can. Reflections Segment Three, the 11:30 sketch, is born of real life. When Frank joined MST3K, the writing team got in the habit of taking lunch at 11:30 because Frank, having not had breakfast, was so hungry by then. It was a ritual in the writing room that Frank would start asking whoever had a watch (usually Mike) about 10 A.M. or so if it was 11:30 yet—and he would keep asking. The challenge was to find a different way to say no each time. — Mary Jo Pehl In a side note, I would like to issue an explanation to the good people and places of Puerto Rico. It wasn't you we were after, but the film. I understand your governor has a ripping good sense of humor, so lighten up, Puerto Rico! Enjoy our good-natured ribbing! — Kevin Murphy
