Storyline
Mike and the 'bots suffer through The Giant Spider Invasion, featuring the TV has-beens, Alan Hale Jr. and Barbara Hale. Set in Mike's home state of Wisconsin, the movie also gives them a red-bearded redneck wearing red long underwear and a back brace; a giant spider that looks like a black car with eight legs; outer-space coconuts, each with diamonds and a spider inside; and more. Meanwhile, Pearl and her two underlings go camping and find "zucchini throw pillows" that are really alien pods out of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Tom Servo dresses as a cheerleader, but fails to inspire any "spee-rit!" Later, a duplicate Tom Servo shows up. Written by J. Spurlin

This is definitely one of the best MST3K episodes done. From the first zinger done by Mike and the 'bots (It's a Giant Spider Invasion of Savings at Menards!), to the last (Go....Packers!!), it's a great time having fun at the expense of lovable Cheeseheads of Wisconsin. Alone, "Giant Spider Invasion" would have been truly unbearable, but with the MST3K Treatment, it's become a comedy classic watched by me and my friends many times over.
As soon as this came up as an MST3K Volume 10 DVD, I instantly bought it. If you ever want to introduce your friends to MST3K, this is the episode you must show them. It has everything necessary to turn you and your friends into instant "Misties" who will want more and more of MST3K.
Go Packers!
