Mister Kingdom posted:It looks like Mike and the boys are branching out. Total Riff Off coming to NatGeo on April 1st. Wow. Koalas suck. I wonder if this is going to be a regular thing with National Geographic. It seems natural for them to provide color commentary for something that people are used to having commentary over. However, it still feels like an odd choice despite the good prospects for Riffing.

Yeah, I wish I had the NatGeo channel to watch that, but Koalas have been forever ruined for me. I won't be able to look at their sleepy faces anymore and not remember that they are a ball of diarrhea and chlamydia.

Dunno they seem to done a few nature documentaries in the various shorts that appeared on MST3K and Rifftrax, plus Overdrawn at the Memory Bank did have the whole Daisy segment. It looks funny, even through I wonder if this is a one off thing, with it being April Fools Day.

It premiers April 1st, aka April Fool's Day. I think it's a one day thing. Pretty cool, but yeah, kolas are gross as hell now.

The creepy, gross, and vaguely racist '60s nature documentaries are the best. What was the one where they were showing how they catch animals in Africa to bring back to a zoo in Chicago I think?

I just got Treasures of the Amazon. How many loving characters do they introduce in the first 10 minutes? There are at least 4 or 5 separate parties of characters.

Check out CylinderBot's chill (or possibly dead) cork cousin from At Your Fingertips: Floats! So yeah, I found a VHS with all the missing At Your Fingertips shorts. They cut out the shorts' credits and wrapped them with owl puppet host segments but it's legit. http://www.videomarketplace.com/10-0165.html

Rifftrax has a coupon you might have missed if Facebook went and hosed up your sort order so that you start seeing repeat posts before you see new ones: March Madness 15% off. As a suggestion I bought Cyborg Cop 2 last Friday and laughed like crazy at the 1980s goodness, despite there not being any Cyborg Cops in it.

I bought this with the March Madness coupon and watched it today. It seems they're going to use a different bumper at the end for the copyright. It's the logo with their three faces, and it's much shorter.

Fresh off of their Facebook, they're going to riff something from their survey page:quote:One of the films on this list is being released on Friday! The person who 1st entered it, plus 2 random people who voted for it, will get it FREE! Check out our list of suggestions and submit your own: (Same link, just changed so it shows the top ranked results.) Top result is 1998's Godzilla by a pretty large lead.

Any of those top 5 would be great, and I'm not counting Harry Potter in there because they'd planned to riff that anyway. Picked up Cyborg Cop 2, the Lepus, and about 30 shorts I didn't have using their discount code. Now I have so much Rifftrax to watch

Well they did say "one of the films", not the top film. So it may not necessarily be Godzilla. Also, what do you mean they partially riffed SMB: The Movie?

the new VOD is indeed Super Mario Bros. http://www.rifftrax.com/video/super-mario-bros Rifftrax posted:The world, characters, music, even the sound effects of the Mario video games are among the most iconic entertainment creations of the 20th century. So naturally if you made a Mario movie, you’d want to abandon everything that people liked and recognized about them, and then just in case people were still willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, throw in The Happening star John Leguizamo. despite being a child of the 80's, this will be my first time watching the Super Mario Bros. movie. I'm expecting the worst. Also expecting a great riff. The Piper fucked around with this message at 15:58 on Mar 21, 2014 |

Oh my god, this just made my weekend. I'm going to watch this Riff so many times, I really hope it's great. It has the potential to be one of the best Riffs, and maybe even get some people who haven't heard of Rifftrax to check them out.

This is going to be the first Rifftrax I've bought in a while. This movie's been one of my guilty pleasures since the mid-90s, and I've been hoping that they would riff it since they first started the site. Hopefully it's worth the wait.

I think I saw it in the theaters multiple times as a kid. I think its not a bad movie just because its so bizarre, like no one who made it ever saw the game.

He regretted Mario Brothers more than Space Truckers or the fifth Crow movie. Think about that for a minute.

He probably gets more poo poo from people for Mario than all those other movies combined.

Wait the big black woman in the clip I posted was supposed to be a fish? She's supposed to be big bertha? Mario is burying his face in the cleavage of a fish? I mean I guess the stupid red rubber spike dress makes more sense now but, I don't get this...

It's the giant fish from Super Mario Bros 3 that chases you through the whole level, similar to the Angry Sun. http://www.mariowiki.com/Big_Bertha But I never put two and two together about the black lady. Was she really called Bertha in the movie?

A couple of years ago there was an article in Game Informer that talked about the making of the SMB movie and apparently the whole situation was hosed on multiple levels. Stuff like nobody on the production end knowing or caring about anything Mario Bros as well as Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo spending the entire time drunk.

Brain fart, I suppose. At any rate, it's interesting what jokes were kept from the IGN clips and which ones weren't. The Devolution Chamber survived pretty much intact. Also, is SMB the highest-budgeted film they've gotten VOD rights to?
