muscles like this! posted:Let me just break down how The Curse of Bigfoot works. I finally watched this based on this post and I'm kind of disappointed. The structure of the movie is just as awful as you described, but it's so boring and unwatchable that you can't have enough fun with how stupid it all is. Like, if this was in any way enjoyable to sit through, this movie would be up there with Manos and the Room. It's kind of like RiffTrax's Monster A-Go-Go.

^^OTOH Curse of Bigfoot is great for fans of listening to Mike Bill and Kevin just loose it.^^ Canned Panda posted:New riff was released on Friday: Invasion of the Animal People!

Is there a way to suggest shorts for riffing? This short on Pressure Cookers should be especially riffable. There's a busy housewife, a rush to plate a loaf of sliced bread, regular meals of meat as big as a human head, a daughter gets an advance on her allowance to buy a pressure cooker, a mother who couldn't imagine cooking more than one type of vegetable at a time, love that's conditional on cooking well, teenagers with wedding rings, a grown man having trouble eating spaghetti, and vague warnings to not deviate too much from the cooking process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZavYMVXYam8

They have a link on their site to suggest a riff. But it seems like it's mostly feature length stuff. http://ideas.rifftrax.com/forums/244244-rifftrax-movie-requests

Just got back from the UK live show and GODDAMN it was great. I only attended the Samurai Cop screening but it was still fun. They riffed on this short before the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-JfnhABs9U I think it's the first time they did it, I can't recall them doing a studio version on their site.

I don't think "Atmospheric Penetration: Basic Dynamics of Re-Entry" is riffable because of a 4-minute long technical segment. But the idea of them riffing a short where a cartoon character designs an ICBM is still amusing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hb9be6Sg0U "A Step Saving Kitchen" might work. What farmer's wife hasn't written to the USDA asking for help with kitchens? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHUL3i4O5kU RandomPauI fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Feb 17, 2018 |

Watching Invasion of the Animal People and one thing that's really bugging me is how nobody is ever dressed for the weather. Like how the playboy geologist doesn't wear a hat or coat up high up in the mountains of Lapland.

I kind of liked the last half hour of Starship Invasions. The space battles were really neat looking... for the 50s.

For example, it has almost no sound effects, just a scant few stock ones.

RiffTrax is going to have a Q&A through the Kickstarter Twitter account on the 26th. I'm assuming that is when we will find out this year's live shows.

Is it just me or is the original dialog in Invasion of the Animal People barely comprehensible half of the time? Seemed a bit more of a problem than usual with old films. That said it's a pretty good riff and the movie itself is delightfully cheese 50s b-grade stuff.

What was cut from the Scifi airing for Space Mutiny? Only thing I remember hearing was some actual subplot with the "space pirates" that we only see their stolen Cylon ship blow up.

I watched Krull for the first time recently and it was... okay? It's definitely a bad movie, but it's one of the rare ones that's able to hold your attention. Should be decent riff material, especially the dodgy Cyclops mask.

A guy I went to college with is the son of the man who produced Krull, he scored all kinds of cool points by having one of the original glaives hanging on his dorm wall. Krull was kind of his dad's master opus and he has mixed feelings about the riff, but I guess he's glad to see the film get any kind of renewed attention.

The only real problem- but it's kind of a big one- is that the film's entire second act is basically "the characters try to figure out where the bad guy's fortress will teleport to next." It really feels like the plot isn't moving at all because it's just them looking for directions.

For sure, that film meanders constantly once they enter the swamp bog location and it doesn’t really entertain you again until the ridiculous fire-Clydesdale scene.

What the gently caress is this movie? And I was going to ask how the gently caress they got Eric Roberts but I found the answer: Wikipedia posted:Eric Roberts' dialogue was recorded in 15 minutes. He probably took a smoke break from the afternoon shift at the Sizzler in Van Nuys and was back in time for the dinner rush. EDIT: Eric Roberts' Twitter feed is quite a thing to experience.

All the shorts got unlocked on the kickstarter. If you pledge just $1 you get 10 shorts (or $1 in store credit for any short you already have in your library). Pretty good deal. Even better if they add any more stuff for all backers. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rifftrax/rifftrax-live-2018-space-mutiny-and-krull
