I've been revisiting Mystery Science Theatre 3000 with my partner recently. It's hard to describe, but I feel like we as a culture have lost an appreciation for truly bad movies.

If you see people talking about bad movies nowadays it's usually just incendiary takes to farm clicks. (e.g. "The new Star Wars is the worst movie ever") When I talk about loving bad movies I mean the truly awful movies. The movies so bad that they fail basic pacing and storytelling. Movies where you suddenly see all the seams of artifice holding everything together. Movies that aren't good but are shamelessly queer.

You can find a lot of MST3K for free online, and I highly recommend any of the Mike episodes (half of Season 5, and then season 6 onwards). You'll see what I mean.

If you want to watch just one, I'd recommend Season 9, episode 3, The Pumaman. It's an extremely cheap spaghetti superhero movie that features the far-too-talented-for-this Donald Pleasance as its villain.
