MST3K K01 • Invaders from the Deep
Hosted by Charlotte Wells and Chris Piuma
Happy Turkey Day! Let’s celebrate with the very first episode of MST3K, which premiered on Thanksgiving 1988! Invaders from the Deep (which is to say, four episodes of Stingray spliced together into a movie) dives after Chris and Charlotte while they flap their lips about Turkey Day, Supermarionation, brief introductions, earnest ecologists, and beer nuts.
