Film watched: ''Film/TheSidehackers''

!!The [=MST3K=] treatment provide examples of...

* Joel has invented Gretchen the Slinky, while Dr. Forrester produces the Slinky tube, which lets him be in two places simultaneously.

* The SOL crew chart out just what is involved in the activity of sidehacking.

* In order to produce recognizable commentary and play-by-play analysis for a sporting activity, it must have a working and understood terminology behind it, as Joel stresses.

* J.C. and Cooch from the film visit the SOL, where Joel has created Rommel hats for Tom and Crow.

* Joel sings original ditty "Only Love Pads the Film" with the 'Bots. Frank gets his first time to push the button down in Deep 13.

->''"[[BreakingTheFourthWall For those of you playing along at home,]] [[DarkerAndEdgiet Rita is dead.]]"''

->''"For those of you playing along at home, Rita is dead."''

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Let's be honest; there was no other way to explain the unavoidable detail of Rita's removal from the plot other than someone (in this case, Crow) outright admitting to the audience what got cut.

[[caption-width-right:352:Uh, this is going to be hard to watch.]]

* KilledOffscreen: Even with the infamous scene cut, [[ImpliedTrope it's not that hard to piece together what happened]]; before the commercial break, J.C. barges in on Rommel and Rita to tell him his time is up, and when the film resumes, Rita is nowhere to be seen and Rommel has been beaten within an inch of his life. For those who haven't seen the uncut version, the specifics of what went down, as well as [[TheGlovesComeOff what has the normally-mellow Joel and the Bots unusually furious]], is [[NothingIsScarier left to the viewer's imagination]].

* RunningGag: Calling Rommel a MagnificentBastard, often adding, [[Film/{{Patton}} "I read your book!"]]

** Joel and the Bots don't take too kindly to J.C. going after Nero when he tries to calm him down during the dinner scene, especially since, [[{{Bowdlerize}} prior to the latter half of the line being muted for TV]], J.C. had called Nero [[NWordPrivileges a very offensive term]].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Crow gives an offhand comment to explain Rita's absence; this is because the scene in which she was raped and killed had to be cut for obvious reasons.
-->'''Crow''': For those of you playing along at home, [[HandWave Rita is dead.]]

!!The [=MST3K=] treatment provide examples of:

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: This is the only movie to feature a riff by Cambot. He does an info-crawl (a la ESPN) during one of the race scenes stating how poorly edited and boring it is.

** Crow notes this is the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S02E01RocketshipXM second movie they’ve seen in a row]] [[DownerEnding where the protagonist gets killed.]]

'''Crow:''' Yeah. It was cool in the beginning with the side-hacking...then it went right down the drain and they had to pad out the rest of the film with all that killing.\\

--> '''Tom:''' 'Joel, why was the movie so bad?\\
