In Mystery Science Theater 3000 season 9 episode 1, the crew is back with a new film to roast - The Projected Man. The film follows a scientist named Dr. Paul Steiner, who becomes disfigured during an experiment gone awry. To exact revenge on those who doubted him, Steiner uses his new powers to project his image onto others, causing their deaths.

As always, the robots Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot, and Gypsy are along for the ride, joined by their human companion Mike Nelson as they provide hilarious commentary on this cheesy sci-fi flick. They crack jokes about the low-budget special effects, the over-the-top acting, and the downright ridiculous plot twists.

But it's not just the film that gets roasted - the MST3K crew also takes aim at their own captive situation, poking fun at the fact that they're trapped in space watching terrible movies for the entertainment of their captors. Mike and the bots also engage in their usual witty banter with each other, keeping the laughs coming even during the film's more tedious moments.
