Pod People was rare for an MST3K film in that it was released in the 1980s, a time when it became less likely that we'd be able to license the rights to a given cheesy movie. Once you get into the modern era, severe mediocrity becomes more expensive. It's just a fact of life, although something like Pod People has a cheapness that transcends era and epochs. Its shittiness gives it a timelessness that says, "You will ALWAYS be able to afford the rights to this."
