Don't feel bad; I actually just started watching Sienfeld for the first time like three weeks ago.

EatinCake posted:I'd be real curious how popular this show is. Kickstarter was a runaway success, but does that mean Netflix or some other producer would front the bill for another season, or will they do a another crowd funding approach I wonder. The only way this is getting another season is if Netflix foots the bill. Which is why Joel and co were begging everyone who backed to watch it on Netflix first time through.

muscles like this! posted:The only way this is getting another season is if Netflix foots the bill.

Netflix did throw their support behind it, it feels like, with the promotional short where the bots make fun of stranger things and all. As much as it annoyed me that they made it a different title (I had a lot of trouble finding it by yelling commands at the Google home), that was probably the wiser choice for marketing it and claiming it as their own. They want it to succeed, so as long as it does, they'll throw their money behind it. It probably costs as much to make a full season of this show as an episode of Iron Fist, so it at least has that going for it.

HannibalBarca posted:Luigi Cozzi infamously made a batshit insane colorized version of the Americanization of the original Godzilla. Pretty neat. Also CONTAMINATION which is a fantastically weird film.  Bonus points for it having the best Goblin soundtrack too. As much as I love Contamination, it would actually be great for MST3K, but it's probably too graphic in parts.

You know I googled Marco Polo episode cost and the wikipedia thing on the top of the searches says "$90 million," but duh, that's for the whole season. Still though, you get a whole season of MST3K pretty cheap. They've always had that going for them.

I'm hoping that netflix-funded future seasons can budget a bit more production / shooting time and give them a little more time to spend on each episode. It feels like they've got the basics down, but shooting 14 episodes in two weeks is kinda nuts, and I assume with a slightly less frantic schedule they could get a few more takes here or there...

I just noticed, when Kinga snaps about how much she hates clones, she gives Max a look. Max isn't TV's Son of TV's Frank, he's TV's Clone of TV's Frank! Either that, or Kinga built him out of all the spare Frank parts Clayton had laying around. Also, the fact that her full name is Kinga Clayton Forrester is goddamned amazing.

Even though the cast has gone through change after change since season one I grew up with Mike, Bill, and Kevin so anyone else filling their roles just feels wrong and sad to me (except for Joel). That said, this season is pretty fantastic and I'm on my second viewing. I love the music, especially the orchestral theme, and the opening. The robot roll call is a bit underwhelming but I love the "I should really just relax" delivery. I think my favorite skit might be the Mexican dance skit because it's so creepy/absurd. Crow's voice sounds like crow but man Servo is wayyyy off. It doesn't bother me too much now but it was really jarring at first. I also don't like the "commercial break" parts where Patton gives us vocabulary lessons. They're just weird and out of place. They could have just kept them like they used to be. But the most important thing, the actual riffs, are hilarious. And the cameos are amusing.

Hopefully a twelfth season will let them work out their riff pacing issues. It got better after the first couple episodes, but they really need to give the riffs room to breathe. Also, I was fine with the new Tom Servo voice, but it feels weird having an actual woman voice Gypsy.

Gypsy was voiced by a woman in a one-off host segment during the KTMA season, the joke being that her sinuses finally cleared up so real her voice was all Marilyn Monroe (Joel had wanted to give her a smoky Kim Carnes voice but messed it up).

Plus, according to the breakdown we were given at the beginning of the Kickstarter, about a third of the budget went to Kickstarter-related costs. I'm honestly pretty confident they'll get another season. The show is about as cheap to make as modern tv can be, it's getting good press coverage, and Netflix really wants as much original content as possible at this point. Trailer Park Boys has managed to get four seasons on Netflix so far, and unless I'm massively underestimating its popularity in Canada, that's even more obscure than MST.

Geez, that Avalanche film is BRUTAL. It's like a proto-Final Destination movie but kind of more horrifying due to the extreme boringness of the pre-Avalanche story. Chokes McGee posted:Oh cool. I remember there being bitterness over the royalties to the old series, but I also know Frank said they'd make sure to cut in old alums this time. Bring Back Mike as Torgo!

The cast of MST3k is on today's episode of Comedy Bang Bang podcast, for those interested. I watched Avalanche and The Beast of Hollow Mountain last night. Both were good episodes, but Beast of Hollow Mountain is such a slog of a movie, holy poo poo. Glad to see the joke delivery slowing down and hitting a strong groove (especially in Avalanche), but thinking back, a lot of the rapid-fire jokes of Reptilicus were to make fun of the energetic editing of that movie, which I think really worked.

I feel like if Beast of Hollow Mountain had been named "The Gringo Cowboy," eliminated most of the references and foreshadowing to the beast (like if we saw the old guy drown in the swamp and the bad guy's henchmen driving the cattle into quicksand), and so it was a Western right up until the moment the allosaurus interrupts the climax, it would have been amazing.

Yeah, it already feels halfway like the whole genre switch was a prank, they might as well have gone full surprise T-Rex.

"Sudden Dinosaur Attack: The Western" would have been a better movie. I just cant believe the climax of the movie is the main character swinging back and forth on a rope swing to lure a dinosaur into a swamp. Its so bafflingly dumb and it almost feels like the Beast just kind sits and watches him for a few moments in equal awe at how silly it is. Cry Wilderness is such a perfect second episode. I introduced the show to two friends this weekend and they liked Reptilicus but I could feel the final act of the movie drag a bit. How many scenes of danish soldiers shooting at nothing does a movie really need? Cry Wilderness just knocked it out of the park. Really up there with the bests of MST3K.

"You know, I have to say, the monster is being really patient with him." The expression on the claymation T-Rex reminded me of the expression on my bird's face when he's mad, but he has to stop screaming for a few seconds purely to say "What are you doing right now? That's weird and new and I don't get it." Such a weird climactic battle.

Junkie Disease posted:it has a fatal flaw they would have to work to overcome for a bad movie. poo poo rear end pacing MST3K has always been great at dealing with pacing issues (better than Rifftrax), largely because of the skits and the fact that the movies get cut for time anyway. It's not like films like Manos or more recently The Beast of Hollow Mountain aren't equally strange with regard to pace. Films like Contamination fare well too because it's not like breaking what pace there is or cutting scenes is going to mess with a whole lot of underlying logic either (because that logic was always secondary at best).

I have a feeling Iron Fist sees a large drop off of views per episode as the season goes on. It's really stupid, and I'd be shocked if there's an Iron Fist season 2 (even knowing he's going to be in Defenders). It's that lovely. Also, LOL at Marco Polo costing a million per ep. Isn't Fuller House getting another season? Jesus, I have to think that way more people are watching MST3K: The Return than loving Fuller House.
