-> '''Servo:''' Our younger viewers might require some explanation. That's a ''phone booth'': your grandparents used to see how many people they could cram in there because they liked rubbing their bodies against other people without consequences. It also made phone calls.

* With the 'Bots off on a break, Joel calls a rhyming meeting with Jonah and Emily to go over their plan for escape. Joel intends to use Jonah's Percussive Drive to commandeer the ''Deep Hurting'' and drag Joel's SOL into the Timebag to freedom with the hosts inside. To this end, they need to do something unheard of in [=MST3K=] history: have all three of them riff a movie together.

Film watched: ''The Bubble'' (1966).

!!The Segments:
[[AC:Prologue]]
* Emily's 'Bots are visiting Joel again in his Satellite of Love and pitching him ideas for ''Star Trek''-themed breakfast foods.

[[AC:Segment 1/Invention Exchange]]
* Not satisfied with the meager selection of butter, caramel, and nacho cheese, Joel's Pop Duster turns any concession food into popcorn toppings for new taste twists on the old cinema standard. Lens-B-Safe is Kinga's way of protecting glasses lenses from scratches (if one doesn't mind walking totally blind).

[[AC:Segment 2]]
* The crew questions the point of gratuitous 3D effects in movies. M. Waverly and Growler are gathering crashed moon rocks in utter boredom until a stray rock hits Waverly in the head and he starts picking up radio stations.

[[AC:Segment 3]]
* Seeing as how Servo has no depth perception, Joel offers him his new invention, the Arch Obolus Rift, to allow him to better view the movie in 3D. It works well until Servo is made to watch the hallucination scene and freaks out.

[[AC:Post-Intermission]]
* Servo is still locked in a delirious trance. Fortunately, Joel finds his vision switches and turns them back on to snap him out of it.

[[AC:Segment 4]]
* With the 'Bots off on a break, Joel calls a rhyming meeting with Jonah and Emily to go over their plan for escape. Joel intends to use Jonah's Percussive Drive to commandeer the ''Deep Hurting'' and drag Joel's SOL to freedom with the hosts inside. To this end, they need to do something unheard of in MST3K history: have all three of them riff a movie together.

[[AC:Segment 5]]
* While Kinga and Max away, Joel puts Phase 1 of their escape plan into action. He tricks Pearl into letting them gather onto Joel's SOL and perform a Christmas special with all three of the hosts riffing together. Pearl thinks it's a good idea. So does Dr. Kabahl.

!!The ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' presentation has examples of:
* ContinuityNod:
** When Kinga presents ''The Bubble'' as Joel's movie, Joel initially scoffs claiming he's already riffed ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S04E24ManosTheHandsOfFate Manos: The Hands of Fate]]''.
** Jonah's Percussive Drive, his invention for Gizmonic Institute from all the back in [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S11E01Reptilicus his first episode]], comes into play as part of Joel's escape plan.
* EvilLaugh: Dr. Kabahl lets one off when he announces his approval for the Christmas special.
* GladYouThoughtOfIt: Joel sells Pearl on the idea of an all-host Christmas special by "reminding" her that it was her own brilliant idea.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Ardy points out to Kinga that ''Manos: The Hands of Fate'' is the base standard by which the entire Kingachrome system is built around, yet ''The Bubble'' is so bad on a "profound existential level" that the system itself is being overwhelmed. He calls it "The wolfmother of all bad movies."
