Mystery Science Theater 3000 was a cult classic TV series that was about making fun of bad movies. The premise was simple – a man shot into orbit by a mad scientist was forced to watch bad movies with the help of his robot companion, and they ripped them apart with brilliant wit and loads of pop culture references.

I love MST3K. So much so I'm going to have to make Crow T.Robot some day, just as soon as I figure out how...

Dr. Clayton Forrester

Mad scientist Dr. Clayton Forrester is the insane genius who kidnapped Joel, put him in a satellite in orbit, and forces him to watch horrible movies.
