The film time I saw this one, my ex and I spent about a month going 'Danger! [whatever we happened to see/have at hand at the moment]'. It's worth reviving if only to baffle my colleagues.

Speaking of Rifftrax, Mr Boods was sifting through them last week on Prime while I was reading a book, so it came as a wonderful surprise that Boy in the Plastic Bubble is currently on offer. I actually let out a small shriek of joy when he asked, 'Is this one ok? It's got John Travolta in it!'

A couple of years ago, Boy popped up on a movie channel. I've been working on transferring the Rifftrax audio to it since it's crystal clear as opposed to that recorded-on-SLP-mode version we got from Rifftrax. It's tricky since the newer version was broadcast at a slightly different speed than the riffed version.

The crap/dreamy picture quality (made even worse when played over a PAL tv system) added a bit to my nostalgia, as I remember when the film came out (in those heady days of sixth or seventh grade and Teenbeat and that) and a couple of my pals swooning over it.

We had to pause it at the Arby's riff as it caught Mr Boods off guard; sadly he's never seen Welcome Back, Kotter and had no idea that Travolta did anything prior to Pulp Fiction and Grease...(same issue comes up in Village of the Giants -- they all known Ron Howard as Richie Cunningham over here, but trying to explain all the Opie (and Music Man) references...

He knows Grease from being a pre-teen with a younger sister when it came out. Then he picks up again with Travolta's output with Pulp Fiction. I didn't quiz him further on his ignorance of the rest of Travolta's output in between because it could have led to a dark confession about Moment by Moment. There's some things you don't poke with a stick.

He did appreciate all of the Scientology riffs, however :tinfoil:

[He's not seen Saturday Night Fever -- I did ask about that. But then again, he's just not got the time to scroll up every classic cinema.]

I was surprised at how much of season 7 I had seen before but forgotten. I had not seen Laserblast, though, and while the riffing is really good, hoo boy would an extended 2001 homage have been a terrible way to end the show.

e: also holy poo poo at Corbett trying to get the hang of the puppeteering in that first episode!!

It's one of my favorites, tbh, if only because of how often the movie itself makes me laugh out loud without any riffing. It's definitely got a stronger beginning than an ending, though. It reminds me of the Super Mario Brothers Movie in a way, where the beginning is so absurd in its weird desire to both forcefully appeal to children and be a serious movie are charmingly at odds, and then it plunges itself into some weird, leather alternate universe and things get more and more awkward until you want it to end.

PrinceRandom posted:

I'm sort of the other way around. Kathy Ireland's absurd character is both so ill-conceived and so loving earnest in its portrayal that it just cracks me up. The world-building is just Yet Another Atlantis with aesthetics from Escape 2000.

Yeah, it does. A lot of the vague post-apocalyptic ones with some vaguely defined evil corporation trying to kill the heroes feel like they shrug and give up on their premise like 20 minutes in.

If this were an entry in the dictionary, Warrior of the Lost World would be the picture next to it. Speaking of which, Tom Servo's full-cast roll call at the end is one of my favorite moments of the show.

It's really weird watching Kevin Murphy's voice come out of Mike Nelson, made up to look like the character I associate with Bill Corbett. I'd forgotten that "When I Held Your Brain in My Arms" was lip-synced.

Werewolf is a fun one. I'm in the middle of watching Puma Man too. Am I wrong or is the implication at the beginning that the big buff guy was just randomly throwing people out of windows to their deaths until he finds the Puma Man?

That's meant to be a red herring, and it's actually the villain's henchmen that were doing it to everyone else, and the big buff guy only threw out the hero because he KNEW he was the Pumaman.
