Old film strips gone wrong
Those old 50's and early 60's short films are fascinating in a train-wreck sort of way. The way they portray white, middle-class teenagers in identical clothing rightly scares the heck out of people nowadays. The almost cult-like emphasis on the status quo and the constantly repeated anti-individualism messages are what Joel, Mike and the bots take aim at the most in these films. The first movie about home economics might as well be called "Advanced Servitude For Women." It insultingly suggests that being a man's wife is a career, and the only reason a woman would want to learn physics is to know how household appliances work. Then there's one about grooming for teenagers who are too dumb to figure out how to wash with soap and water. This one has a strong conformity message, and also makes it clear that it is the girl's job to look nice and attract the boy, not the other way around. The strangest one is about a boy who cheats in class and is practically crucified for it. The disturbing and Poe-like atmosphere makes you wonder whether or not cheating was the biggest problem teachers had to deal with back then. The film about the family having a pleasant dinner together is surreal. It seems to suggest that you should maintain a nice, pleasant atmosphere regardless of the way anyone might be feeling. Everybody just pretends everything is fine. If you want a good insight into a period of history that glorified repression, conformity and traditional gender roles, look no further. And if it's funny, too, I just consider that a bonus.Read full review

This is one of the funniest of the MST3000 tapes. Parodying the instructional movies of the 50's and 60's that we used to fall asleep to in health and science classes. My daughter and I were in tears of laughter through most of them... The Chicken of Tomorrow was hysterical!... if you like MST3000 even a little you will love this tape
