I guess there was an overlap with Mike and Trace + Frank, but Season 8 is still my favorite.

Ok, if we can't have Mike show up for new MST3k...could we get Jonah on Rifftrax?

Egbert Souse posted:They really should do Stanley Kubrick's first feature Fear and Desire. It's like a Coleman Francis movie with somewhat nice photography. I think it would be hilarious for them to set it up as them sending a Kubrick film, only for it to be that one. It's public domain, so they shouldn't have a tough time getting it. I feel like that happened before. Where Forrester was going to send up a movie by some director and everyone was kind of excited and then it was the worst thing he ever did. Am I just going crazy?

EDIT: There was also that space movie with Gregory Peck and Gene Hackman that had been edited for TV.

I am trying to like the new season and while the movie bits are decent so far, the skits are so painfully bad. Like, where people really clamouring for musical numbers? They are so awful.

The music is awkward and good. And as I said in my previous posts, the UFO song in Starcrash was well utilized bc otherwise we'd be stuck with a whole minute of dead air as the actress does a boring slow walk into a UFO. An never forget, Toobular Boobular.

I was real fuckin annoyed when they had Starbomb/Ninja Sex Party on their fuckin livestream thing during the kickstarter, performing music, and didn't have them do that song, what the gently caress. Also that they were basically going all "oh yeah we do this thing on youtube that's basically mst3k but videogames" and I just wanted to yell something about slowbeef at the screen but that's just petty goon rage.

Directed by John Sturges, director of The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, Bad Day at Black Rock, and Gunfight at the OK Corral. Though, I'd imagine the original film Marooned is substantially better than whatever Film Ventures International did to it. Alfonso Cuaron is apparently a big fan of it.

There was also a mixup during one of the bumpers for a Friday night premiere. They thought the "Outlaw" that they were riffing was the 1943 movie and not the 1988 movie "starring" Jack Palance. So the commercials were all these two idiots with some radio show talking about Jane Russell.

A little off-topic, but whoever recommended Plex to me last week: Holy poo poo thank you! I spent the week downloading my Rifftrax collection and ripping all my MST3K DVDs and everything is so much easier to watch now as I'm rewatching the series from the beginning. I can't believe I had never heard of this before. Thanks!

Yep, that's a pretty accurate description of the host segments over the years.

The host segments were never the main draw, and a lot of them haven't aged well, but there's some real gems in there. I'd say the hit/miss ratio in the new season leans much more heavily to the hit. Being fresh and from a more modern comedy perspective helps a lot. And the musical numbers are in general pretty solid from my perspective.

Sometimes that makes them feel a little jarring and unfinished, but on the whole it has meant (for me at least) that they're less likely to outstay their welcome.

The weirdest loving host segment I've ever seen is the mailbag where they get a letter from eBaum who said he's going to grow up to be a lawyer and have his own website.
