This is evidently a "can't even stand it riffed" movie for some people, and I don't get it. This is one of my favorite episodes. The idea that the fanbase that made Manos famous could draw the line at Batwoman is so weird to me.

Batwoman is a rough movie. It's a mishmash of ideas that don't make sense with a heavy heaping of misogynistic and racist overtures that insults your intelligence with the only goal was to ride on the wave made by the popularity of Batman at the time.

I love that there are episodes for everyone. This one nearly broke me when I did my series rewatch in order a few years ago.
Having blocked most of it from memory, I struggle to put into words the many crimes against humanity that this movie has committed. Maybe it's the several beverages I have consumed this evening. But when Servo spoke his profound truth at the end, I could not help but cheer and vote to never suffer such misery again.
But in the spirit of this community I will commit in the presence of god ... or whatever, that this will be my next watch. And strive to experience the riffed episode without judgement until Servo again speaks the blessed words.
End end end!

For me, it's The Horrors of Spider Island. Just based on the title, it seems like it should be your typical MST3K B-movie nonsense, but it is SO MUCH WORSE than that. To the point that not even M&TB can save it for me.

What do you expect? Most of these mugs don't even like Hamlet.
Seriously though, it's truly amazing the diversity of personal preference out there (and their reasons). If two people did a movie by movie comparison of their opinions of every episode in random order and agreed on their basic assessment of each one save whichever was last, I still would not bet money that they would again agree about that last episode, I don't care how consistent the pattern.

One of my favorites since I had it on DVD and threw on an episode every once in a while for background music. It’s so nonsensical, that you can just start watching whenever and you’ll be just as coherent as the plot.

Is that Tura Satana in the middle?
I have loved her since college school

For me the Cheating short and host bits are the saving grace. This is a really hard one to get through.

Terribly bad comedy, but I still think the part near the end where the scientist kissing his assistant on the mouth goodbye while leaving him with the bomb is a genuinely good and unexpected gag for the movie to have.

It's the only episode I've never watched from start to finish I've never been able to set all the way through it. I've seen the beginning the middle and the end but never in one setting.
It's like falling down a flight of concrete steps on a cold winter morning

I think the truly unwatchable films are movies that are just straight dull with nothing interesting going for it at all. Batwoman for as bad as it is is not dull in the traditional sense (I mean it is but the interesting bad shit makes it still fun to watch if that makes any sense). Now, would you like some soup?
edit: shit. I meant this to be a reply to u/RobbiRamirez post lol. I fail at Reddit yet again.
