"The Brute Man" is the first one I saw when I was 8 or 9. Sold me on it then and there, and I still watch the show all the time 20 years later. The Chicken of Tomorrow has really stuck with me for some reason.

Tch. What do you know about anything, Paste Magazine? That's my favorite Sci-Fi era experiment. Just for Crow's reaction to the "Get your tickets hee-ah" monkey "Did you guys just see that or did I imagine it?"

I just watched Eegah on Netflix. We are truly living in the future. "Sorry about my face!" It's been a while since I watched it that movie but oh man, I forgot how...uncomfortable that movie gets near the end. Yeesh.

This episode is the first one I chose today because it was super loving rare in the tape trading days, I think because the rights expired not long after it first aired. I had only seen it on like 7th-generation VHS with horrible sound until Youtube a couple of years ago, and even then it was no better than 3rd-generation. Now it's pristine.

Franchescanado posted:Okay okay okay. I'll leave the Bronx. I really love that episode, but I can't really say why. It suffers from the bad 70s-80s post-apocalyptic "What were the villains... trying to do?" problem, the Toblerone jokes should feel a little too much like they're trying to force an in-joke, the Timmy Bobby host segment is an absolute, resounding dud, and there are huge spaces where not even the riffs can keep the interest up. It's little things like how often in the beginning they keep repeating "Leave the Bronx!" and Servo's "Have a little fire, spaceman!" Also, I like the stupid Toblerone jokes, and once in awhile, when I'm really lagging, the movie gives me a huge, heaping slap of Toblerone! Maybe it's just that I saw it when it aired (which comes as a surprise to me - I didn't think I had seen any of season 7, but I definitely remember laughing with my mom at "Have a little fire, spaceman!"). I dunno.

"He's seen me, and now I've had it" I dunno why but that's the highlight of the riff for me. Toblerone really should have been the star of the movie because the lead is a big old nothing. Toblerone had some screen presence

My first MST3k experience was the monkey story from Merlin's Shop, and I had no loving idea what was happening. My first complete viewing was Boggy Creek II, which blew my mind. I also loved Bigfoot stories at the time. It was such a weird experience finding this amazing show on Sci-Fi, building a Saturday morning routine with it, and then three weeks into the routine, they messed with the schedule and I couldn't find the show anymore. HMS Beagle posted:I've got Catalina Caper on DVD and it's one of my favorite Joel episodes. Tom'a song is so great. Catalina Caper is an all-time great. I just...love it... Creepy girl, coked out Little Richard, cartoon opening credits, hamfisted slapstick because seasickness is whacky!, a beach movie without a beach, an art heist...It's a fun movie on it's own, and it's not often that they riff on a straightforward comedy (which is a shame, terrible comedies are ripe with material). I didn't know it was a hard find, since it was in the Vol. 1 DVD.

We haven't watched any mst3k for a few years... just other things to watch, and my girls were never really interested in it, to them it just seemed like their old dad's weird show. We'd watched a bit when they were younger but maybe not the right ones to catch them. Then we found out it's on Netflix and my 13-year-old had a friend over who said she likes it, so that made it cool enough for them to try. We watched Time Chasers last night and they just about died laughing even though I doubt they really got more than half the jokes. Even my 15-year-old admitted they were funnier than she thought they'd be. I'm a good dad after all.

And Attack of the the Eye Creatures had some comic relief that was annoying and creepy instead of funny. Oh yeah, and Hobgoblins was supposed to be the same sort of goofy horror movie as Gremlins, but mostly it was just goofy. Bobbin Threadbare fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Mar 16, 2017 |

Man, I don't know how I'd never seen Future War but holy poo poo what a bad movie. It feels like the writer/director/everybody forgot to throw in a any exposition that actually matters to the characters to get them from one scene to another. All culminating in a hilarious riff where Captain Polaris (lol) angrily explains that the entire reason the main character is there is because a hither to unreferenced character named Fred Buroughs told him, and Mike and the bots start wondering out loud who he is and guessing if different random people are Fred Buroughs.

If you have Hulu they have 40 episodes available. If you watch all the ones on Netflix head over there. Also Shout Factory has posted quite a few annotated episodes on YouTube.

My favorite episode will always be Pod People. The movie itself is a mystifying pile of barely-related subplots, the jokes are on point, and the skits count a couple of the all-time classics. Joel and Mike's runs, especially during the Sci-Fi Channel era, almost deserve to be ranked separately. There's an edge to Mike's run, especially later on, that Joel's doesn't have; conversely, that means that when Joel's run goes dark, it feels much more like it came out of nowhere. "I want to decide who lives and who dies!" "Oh, I don't know..."

Their coats look like color-confused military uniforms circa WWII or something. I mean both Felicia and Patton look great wearing them, and I can't wait to see what Joel and the team made of the new generation of Mads.

Felicia Day basically just has to play an angry, sadistic version of the quirky archetype she's made a solid career out of and Patton can basically just be a goofier version of the constantly stressed, sycophantic penguin he plays in Bojack Horseman. I am very confident that they both got this. That they both seem to be really enjoying it in that photo is terrific. I'm on Agent from HARM in my rewatch and itching to get to the end of the season. Space Mutiny, Time Chasers and Overdrawn at the Memory Bank is one hell of a good run of episodes.

Watching Santa Claus Conquers the Martians with the wife, and one of the running gags is Joel and the bots making up gibberish names for the martians. I just caught that one of the made up names is Rimjob.

Wanderer posted:"I want to decide who lives and who dies!" Is it too much of a stretch to think that's a reference to A Christmas Carol? The second ghost asked Scrooge, "Will you decide what men shall live, what men shall die?" It was a Christmas episode, after all.
