What We Think

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie is about as unwoke as it gets. Its aim is good-hearted satire, with virtually zero evidence of forced identity politics or modern ideological preaching. Just robots, jokes, and bad movies.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is essentially a comedic riff on a cheesy 1950s sci-fi movie, with minimal attention to identity politics or forced diversity. The humor focuses on pop culture and film tropes rather than pushing any ideological narrative. No characters are inserted solely for representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little to no engagement with religion, family, or traditional morality, this isn’t that kind of film. Masculinity, gender roles, and cultural foundations are ignored rather than subverted, so any impact is negligible and likely unintentional.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren't mocked or villainized; in fact, the whole film is a send-up of goofy cinema, not modern society. If anything, MST3K is famous for poking fun at everyone equally, with no agenda to promote ideological unity.
