It's a show called Mystery Science Theater 3000. It's about someone stuck in space by evil scientists and forced to watch bad movies with his robot companions (played by puppets). The show is made up mostly of them watching the movie with only their silhouettes in the bottom of the screen as they make fun of the movie, like in the comic, with occasional segments where they leave the theater and usually do some kind of skit related to the film.

It's kinda corny but it's a fun show. They have a channel on YouTube where they upload some of the episodes and play others live, and an app where you can watch most of them ad-free.

They're not that bad, often just dated.

Yes but also most of those films were bad at the time too.

Not the most recent season. Unless you consider 2022 dated.

The mads are back at dumb industries and rifftrax are the more modern versions of the gem of a show!
