No it was an actual "so bad it's good" series that they ran at the time. Other movies they were playing were Plan 9 from Outer Space (obviously) and Reefer Madness.

@ScarletLion I don't want to make it sound like the movie was bad, it wasn't, and indeed, the acting was great. My biggest gripe I have with it, I think, is that the lead character herself isn't fleshed out all that much. She feels like a supporting character in her own story.

*sighs*. That's a shame. I really enjoyed MST3K as a teenager, but the mainstreamification of the "so-bad-it's-good," has caused people to prime themselves to think all cult movies are bad and that's why they're laughing (and sometimes laughing at things they shouldn't be laughing at).

The fact it's spread to the people selecting the movies is also a problem, but a not-surprising one.

Isn't that the entire point? That is probably exactly how the character feels!

I mean, that is fair point. I would argue you can still have a more "passive" lead character that is still fully fleshed out. But then, again, I don't want to sound too negative about this movie that I still quite enjoyed.
