Description

Number 23 in my ongoing chronicle of my favorite "Mystery Science Theater 3000" episodes is that ooey-gooey slice of '70s pseudo-horror, 704 "The Incredible Melting Man"!

Synopsis, from the MST3K Amazing Colossal Episode Guide:
"An astronaut is somehow irradiated during a failed space mission. I don't really get science and stuff, but the movie suggests that he contracts enormous amounts of radiation by looking at Saturn. (It didn't seem like a big deal at the time - all he got was a nosebleed.) Back on Earth, he's hospitalized and bandaged from stem to stern, looking like a giant papier mache hot dog. He wakes up on the wrong side of the bed and peels off his bandages to find that he's been burned from Original Recipe to Extra Crispy. Man has begun to Melt, though not yet Incredibly. He escapes, and one Dr. Ted Nelson goes searching for his friend, the eponymous Incredible Melting Man, so as to conduct more tests on his liquification problem. Lots of gross stuff happens, Melty kills some people, then there's an ending."

The reason this movie SUCKED so much is because it was originally supposed to be a monster-movie PARODY.  Then the big execs said 'I think it should be like this-AND IF IT'S NOT YOU'RE FIRED!!' and we ended up with a woman screaming in the kitchen for over a minute...
