Space Mutiny is easily the best “introduction” episode to the show for newcomers and it remains a classic that shows what MST3K is all about.

I totally agree! The best introduction for first-time watchers of MST3K. It really is the best of MST3K's riffing from Season 8, and in my opinion, let alone the whole series. I am glad I picked Space Mutiny as my first episode. I got a great introduction to the series, and I have been a MSTie ever since. If you haven't seen Mystery Science Theater 3000 yet, start with Space Mutiny.

You will love it.

If ONLY for the names, Space Mutiny is a great intro to the craziness of MST3K. I don't go very long without using 'Big McLargehuge' as a name for something.

The Wizards of the Lost Kingdom movies are a fine slice of the fantasy side of cheese, as is the delightfully named Deathstalker and the Warriors From Hell.

Oh, and Delta Knights!

I also recommend, for those that like spy/heist/Italian weirdness, to try Diabolik, and Operation Double-Double-07.

Hard mode might be "Agent From H.A.R.M." because there's long stretches of very little happening, but what happens can be downright hilarious.
