Answer to my prior question seems to be YES at least for the UK! Am watching Space Mutiny via Netflix right now!

I'm watching The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies, as I read that article, and already I can see they got the wrong riff for the movie (it's definitely all the transportation references during the roller coaster scenes). Tch. What do you know about anything, Paste Magazine?

If you mean the one they list for Incredibly Strange Creatures, Crow does say it (he's referring to himself, in response to a seemingly random shot of some carnival stuff).

Wait, from the short "Are You Ready For Marriage?" That's not from Monster A-Go-Go. That had "Circus on Ice". I can't remember which movie the marriage short is before though.

There are nearly 200 episodes, a feature length film, and multiple spin-offs. That's a lot even for a dedicated fan.

It's so loving catchy. I'll forget where my keys are the second I set them down and I can sing every seasons theme song from memory somehow.

How in the hell did Radar Secret Service get so high on the list. Really the bottom 10 should be nothing but season 1, Hamlet, Starfighters and that.

It's a good list but Red Zone Cuba should be higher. That and Skydivers are favorites. Beast of Yucca Flats is a slog though. We're aligned exactly on Hobgoblins though. I love that riff and it's an easy watch. Always confused by those who couldn't tolerate it.

I like Radar Secret Service better than Hobgoblins. I wonder if it's an age thing?

The healthcare, good transportation system, and cool amazing German wife are all very very nice perks, but dadgummit, I'm probably screwed out of the new season via legal means.

Whenever anyone brings up Starfighters, I always think of the entry in the Colossal Guide where Frank says that people regularly come up to him and ask why the hell they even did that movie to begin with.

So Netflix is trying to ruin a chance of new fans by putting Manos as the first episode? Bold move. Then again it was MY first episode and I'm a fan. Ballz posted:How in the hell did Radar Secret Service get so high on the list. ATTENTION. YOU WILL LOVE RADAR. GIVE YOURSELF TO IT FREELY.

How on earth can anyone hate Starfighters? It's basically a fool's errand to rank every episode but drat it if people aren't going to try it anyway. nishi koichi fucked around with this message at 15:21 on Mar 15, 2017 |

bad posts ahead!!! posted:How on earth can anyone hate Starfighters? It's one of those movies where there's just a huge pile of nothing. The riffing is great, but some people have trouble when the movie is extra dull or bad. Personally, I love that one. When I went up to the Air Force museum in Dayton with some family, I was glad to see an actual Starfighter and the weird rescue helicopter on display. I think I actually pointed out the helicopter to my wife while saying, "They're off to the rescue in a highly dangerous prototype."

The first episode I actually sat down to watch was A Touch of Satan years ago on Netflix, but I couldn't find or remember the title until real recently. It's a great introduction, but I've also used Mitchell for family members - the jokes are that strong.

Mitchell, Space Mutiny, Pumaman and Werewolf are the starters I tend to use.

Going to the girlfriends house tonight to show her MST3K for the first time. She's seen Rifftrax, just not the original. I was hoping The Giant Spider Invasion would be part of the batch since that was filmed around where she grew up.

Time Chasers also has a really good opening sketch with Mike and Pearl hanging out in Pearl's van. Mary-Jo's performance just kills me every time. "Sometimes I think I lie... because I'm evil... "

Pumaman is probably the absolute best MST for me, and I always use that as the intro for others. Good skits between riffing, a movie that's poo poo but in a fun way, and really fuckin good jokes in the riff itself. Also hey, didn't know the new series starts in a month, type to get hyped.

I introduce people by showing them a date with you family short. 10 minutes, grade a-riffing. People rarely sit through a 2 hour movie of something new, but 10 minutes is great.

Aw man, no MST3K on Netflix in my stupid backwoods country. Season 11 apparently isn't coming either, finally got around to checking that (not that I really expected it to be available in the first place, but I was holding on to that tiny sliver of hope). edit: Oh, I see the countries were listed in the OP all along Well, no worries there, I'll just use a VPN. Oh wait, I can't because Netflix is now blocking those. DMorbid fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Mar 15, 2017 |

I've been pestering the heck out of them on social media, but I think the fanbase in non-English speaking Europe is so tiny that we've pretty much got no choice but slap down a zillion bux for a dvd/blu-ray/download whenever those become available.

To be fair, I really wouldn't want to be the guy who has to translate episodes of MST3K into Finnish (or any other language for that matter) because that would just be an absolute nightmare (and that's before you take into account the fact you'd need to have one set of subtitles for the movie and another for the riffs). Well, unless I got paid really well, but audiovisual translators in this country usually don't.
|
# ? Mar 15, 2017 19:44 |

Yeah, these would be a nightmare to localize since so many riffs depend on bad line delivery and/or english wordplay to work.

Good skits between riffing, a movie that's poo poo but in a fun way, and really fuckin good jokes in the riff itself. I agree with this and feel that it's my only major dispute with that Paste list. I even find myself enjoying the movie on its own outside of the terrible special effects, costumes and that line about dinosaurs falling in love. "You the guy that's been writing anti-Aztec stuff on the bathroom wall?" is one of my all-time favorite riffs.
