Which I find difficult to believe. Nessus posted:Does this mean they have to introduce a subplot where Tom has a dead hooker in the basement? I think it's just because they're doing their own lovely movie review thing and don't want to reference a similar show. They're from Milwaukee, it's safe to assume they've seen every episode. I'm starting to think the Mystery Gift backer reward will be those laser-cut wood props and if that's the case I really hope I get Buzzino Aldrini.

I believe someone said most of the Red Letter Media guys don't actually like MST3K or the idea of directly riffing over movies. Even though they've released their own audio commentaries, Rifftrax style. They know of it, though, and either pull movies from it occasionally or just have tapes of movies that have been on MST sent to them by fans.

Terra-da-loo! posted:Personally, I'd love to see 'em do some older stuff (like, as you suggested, pre-code, early sound era stuff), but I'm a film nerd and I also get that I (or, we) could be in the minority. Most of the films this season seem to be either from MGM or New Horizons (Roger Corman's company), which both license a bunch of stuff for video to Shout! Factory. They should do The Great Gabbo, if they want to get into really old stuff. It's a terrible early talkie with Erich von Stroheim as a ventriloquist.

Binary Badger posted:Whoever was mentioning that they edit the movies down is definitely right. They also chopped a lot out of Starcrash (such as most of the opening credits, some of the dialog at the start of the film and most of the attack on the Count's evil hand-ship). Someone uploaded the whole film uncut to YouTube in case you are curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hqcGK72XYQ

I like how they call Loves of Hercules a "pecs and princess" movie. But it does annoy me that in this movie that they switch between Greek and Roman names for the gods.

Gaspy Conana posted:Have there been any reviews published from the completely uninitiated? I'm super curious about how first time MST viewers would respond. I'm not completely uninitiated as I'd watched the 20 greatest hits about a week beforehand, but I didn't grow up with the show or anything and I loved it. My dad and I used to stay up late on weekends watching old movies on local broadcast TV and while we didn't intentionally set out to make fun of them, the wonderful badness of obscure-for-a-reason B-movies pretty much leaves you with being bored to tears or cracking jokes to pass the time and this show captures that feeling to a T.

Still watching, taking a bit of a breather after Yongary. Just wanted to chime in and say Felicia Day is an absolute delight and screw the haters, she may be the best addition to the show.

I absolutely love Patton Oswalt. He really channel's the TV's Frank sort of bumbling, but hilarious incompetence. The part where he finds Jonah's message in a bottle at the end of The Land That Time Forgot, gets me every time. If that isn't classic MST3K, I don't know what is.

Dr F always felt like he was on the brink of failure at all times and so much of his evil came from that . Kinga has a different thing going - she's promised herself that she'll be a success and probably made the mistake of being really loud about it and is feeling the crunch, which is different from "I think I'm a better gizmonics employee than you but know I'm way worse" - but the latent desperation to succeed in the face of a laid back test subect who's just gonna ride it out really feels right. ja2ke fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Apr 23, 2017 |

I posted it earier in the thread, but Just Imagine is my dream "really old" MST3K film. It's an excruciating sci-fi comedy about life in the far-off year of 1980 that turns into one of those "sexy alien women on Mars" movies that would be all the rage in about 20 years, and stars a guy then-famous for his Swedish ethnic stereotype character. They'd have to edit it significantly for length (it's thickly padded with irrelevant musical numbers because holy poo poo, SOUND), but I think it could still work.

Watched the first Wizards of the Lost Kingdom and man that's probably my favorite episode so far. Everything about Crabby and how the movie itself was just nutty as get out. Not surprised to see Dana Snyder was one of the writers on that one.

Felicia Day's kind of humor in her own work was already so in line with Dr. Forester sketches that when she was cast, I immediately thought "Why didn't I think of that?" I was less sold on Patton before I actually saw him on screen, but he immediately won me over.

I wonder if there ends up being a season 2 and they get Mike back they'd do an episode with just Joel, Mike and Jonah in the theatre, or at least for a short.

I'm still not sold on The Mads having an entire crew full of goons helping them out. That and the house band make the whole thing feel way too big. It should just be Kinga and Son of TV's Frank, with Pearl's clone showing up occasionally. I also vastly prefer the old "revolving moon" commercial cuts over the weird new "recap with house band" bits.

"The Christmas That Almost Wasn't" might not be the worst movie MST3K has covered, but it's made me the most uncomfortable. Santa has never interacted with children before? He's destitute? Lives in a run-down shack with elves who look like they get black out drunk every night? Holy poo poo it's dark, and creepy.
