Mullah Science Theater 3000

We normally don’t laugh at the zany antics of any member of the Axis of Evil, particularly when that member (and his Members Only jacket) possesses both nukes and Holocaust nostalgia. But this item about Iran from the MEMRI website has us fondly remembering the crack-up robots from Mystery Science Theater 3000:
The following are excerpts from an Iranian sci-fi film titled “The Land of Wishes,” part of a series, which aired on Iranian Channel 1 on October 20, 2006. In it, an evil queen, adorned with a large Star of David and sitting on a throne in the “Black House” (which is also marked with a Star of David) engages in a battle of “virtual warriors” with a young girl who seeks to free the masses the queen has enslaved. When the queen is defeated, her technicians die struggling to rescue a “medal” - also a Star of David.

Production values seem mighty low in this epic. Does Iran have an actual film industry, or are people making videos in their basements after work?
