Ma Ma Ma Ma Mitchell!!!
This is one of my favorites. Joe Don Baker is so fat and bloated. Joel and the bots rip into him and make fun of him so bad that Joe Don Baker says that if he ever meets anyone in the cast or crew of MST3K in public, he'll kick their @$$. They ended up making fun of him even worse in the recent episode Final Justuce. It's a really dull 70s cop movie with lots of action and an annoying old fashoned 50s song that goes like: Ma Ma Ma Ma Mitchell!! There's also the horrific baby oil sequince. This is Joel's final episode. He leaves the ship via an escape pod activated by Gypsy that sends him back to Earth. This is also Mike's first episode, as he is a temp auditating Deep 13. A classic.

Mitchell has got to be one of my very favorite movies. The actual movie isn't too painful, and Joel and the bots make it great. Starring Joe Don Baker as sloppy, alcoholic cop "Mitchell". Crow riffs "Joe Don Baker would be good playing Elvis: The Dying Days". Linda Evans plays a pot-smoking hooker. Joel says, "Linda Evans? This was her pre-Yanni gig." Servo answers, "Yeah, before her face was pulled taut!" Mitchell spends most of the movie either sitting out side of someone's house, or following people around. At one point, he gets into the lamest car chase scene ever. It is truly painful to behold. Some of the best lines are delivered during this scene, such as: "Whoa, they're traveling at speeds of up to 25 mph!" "I've seen faster funeral processions!" "The vicious Mustang culls the weak ones from the herd." "Why does he keep downshifting his automatic?" "That shook up the beers pretty bad." There is also a hilarious host segment in which Tom and Crow are riding pogo sticks, singing the Bonanza song. Anyway, the movie ends with a cheesy boat scene, which nevertheless has some funny lines, like: "Mmmm, this sure is good booze!" "Ok I'm gonna start taking off my clothes, you'd better stop me!" "See ya later, CHUM!" "I guess it's one of those shots that's too expensive to show." All in all, this movie is a must have!

My, my, my, my...MITCHELL!
Joels swan song, and also a classic ep. in its own right.

what movie producer ever thought that a film that features a fat, bloated, drunken, slovenly, all around miserable and un-likable main character would be a GOOD idea?

Joe Don Baker IS "Mitchell," a cop on the case of...well, aparently he starts out on some case involving Jon Saxon but then gets assigned to sit in front of some old mobsters house for weeks on end and then comes home and gets beat up by thugs for no apparent reason and then finds hooker Linda Evans in his house, sleeps with her without question ( a VERY disturbing scene, trust me) and yet arrests her for possesion of pot.

there's some talk of a heroin shipment, Mitchell shoots some guy in a park, then there's a boat chase and a big shoot out and your left wondering what ever happened to Jon Saxon and then Mitchell sleeps with and arrests the hooker again and its the end.

I get the feeling a lot of the reson this film plays so badly is that it was edited for content...the original trailer for the film on the DVD lists it as rated R, which means Comedy Central had to chop out some offending scenes...and yet they leave in the shot of Mitchell in bed with Linda Evans grabbing a six pack of Shlitz Beer off the end table next to a big bottle of Johnsons Baby Oil, which to me was far more repulsive than any graphic violence or language they may have had to edit.

the sketches of course revolve around the escape of Joel: Gypsy over hears the Mads discussing doing away with somebody after the experiment, assumes its Joel, and sets out to find a way to get him off the ship and to safety.

I wont spoil the whole thing for those who havent seen it, but its a perfect transition as Joel leaves and is replaced by MST3K head writer Mike Nelson.

"oh my my my my Mitchell..."
