In the story, in the distant future, the evil Dr. Forrester takes Mike Nelson and his two robots into captivity and tortures them, forcing them to watch Hollywood fantastic thrash. The viewer in each episode will see a low-quality film (usually in the science fiction genre, shot in the 1950s and 1960s), while Mike and his robots emphasize all the shortcomings of this film.
