MST3K 609: The Skydivers

After making preparations (of a sort), I've at last launched into the trio of "Coleman Francis episodes" of Mystery Science Theater 3000. The first may itself still be sort of a warmup compared to what's yet to come, but even so there are plenty of peculiar and amusing things about "The Skydivers," which is given a high standard to live up to when it's introduced as "kind of like 'Manos' but without the lucid plot." Before the movie itself, though, first we're asked "Why Study Industrial Arts?" ("Because you're bad at math?")
( 'Did the actors do their own skydiving?' )

( 'No, the skydivers did their own acting.' )

( 'You know, the fact that they skydive doesn't make me like them.' )
