So... in other old episode news... High School Big Shot might be one of the most depressing works I've ever seen. As Mary Jo might say, it sat on my head and lightly bounced up and down.

What makes it worse is what happened to its star, Tom Pittman. quote:On October 31, 1958, Pittman was driving home after a Halloween party when he ran his Porsche Spyder off the road at a sharp curve in the Hollywood Hills. After he failed to return home, his father filed a missing persons report. On November 19, Los Angeles police officer, Roy Kerton, retraced the roads Pittman's father said his son liked to drive and found the wreckage at the bottom of a 150-foot ravine. Pittman's car had crashed through the guard rail, landed at the bottom of the ravine where it remained out of sight. He was 26.

TL posted:I had surgery this past week, and my surgeon’s name was Dr. Forrester. That probably shouldn’t have felt reassuring but it was. I hope everything went alright and that you'r on the road to a swift recovery. It's going to be really difficult to launch you into space and force you to watch cheesy movies otherwise.

That actually brings up a good question, how would everyone in this thread handle being in the role of Joel/Mike/Jonah, assume that this version of you isn't aware of MST3K prior to being nabbed

Joel would be the hardest because I cannot build Crow and Tom, and thus would be alone.

I would be Mike, right down to being a goofy blond Midwestern guy who sported hockey hair during his youthful days in the late 80s.

looks like the live show thats touring has decided to go with Deathstalker II instead of the original, based on concerns about the portrayal of women in the film. I get it, but I do love the original riff.

The original Deathstalker is great But it's also 90% whimsical rape Like I don't THINK it'd make anyone really uncomfortable with how ridiculous it all is but That's not something that can be ignored

Burkion posted:The original Deathstalker is great Deathstalker also makes me feel sad because I keep being reminded of Lana Clarkson being murdered by Phil Spector. I watch plenty of films with now dead people in them, but that whole event creeps me out, kind of like how I can't really watch Sharon Tate without thinking about how tragically her life ended either.

Caught Chuck Norris' opus 'Breaker Breaker' on RiffTrax's Twitch channel. Holy wow. He's a... drifter? I dunno? Who engages a town of rednecks run by law enforcement that makes Hazzard County's look professional. Also he has a baby blue van with a golden eagle painted on the side.

They used a guy in a gorilla suit to distract from the nudity at the Starship Troopers live show so they use that to hide the rare occasions a woman is seen undressed, but other than that if it's one of their movies you can buy by itself they run the whole thing, complete with shorts and even a collection of 'best of' jokes for the big Hollywood stuff they do just the jokes for. No clue on the schedule. They recently released as part of the recent live show Kickstarter the magnum opus A Talking Cat!?! which I'm looking forward to. It has a cat that talks! The very idea is absurd! Cats can't talk! They're also releasing Ready Player One's riff soon which... means I have to watch Ready Player One. I did not think this through.

Watching Hired! and was wondering, did they really try to sell cars door to door? Also Rifftrax/MST3K both are up on things like Twitch and Pluto where they have a random set of episodes that they kind of just run through.

They only do that stuff on the live shows. The movies you buy directly from them usually have all the nudity they normally would. I believe a recent exception is the horror movie Jack Frost where they cut the weird rape scene.

Cats can't talk! A Talking Cat!?! is a special kind of bad, best explained with its IMDB trivia page: - The interior of Phil and Chris' home is the same set used for the 2011 pornographic movie Jules Jordan presents rear end Worship 13 in the scenes with porn star Franceska Jaimes. - Director David DeCoteau revealed on The B-Movies Podcast that Eric Roberts' entire part was recorded in the actor's own living room, in just 15 minutes. - This movie takes place in two major locations, but includes a total of 59 establishing shots.

I can't hate on Eric Roberts taking these roles anymore ever since I found out that the reason he does it is because he and his wife are involved with a lot of charity work and he donates his pay to those organizations.

Update on the MST Live Tour! The gist of it: They went with Deathstalker I thinking they couldn't get the rights for Deathstalker II. There is a lot of sex in Deathstalker I, but they figured they could edit that out. Turned out when they did, it was only about 53 minutes. So they checked back, and it turned out they could get the rights to Deathstalker II, which doesn't have the problems the first movie does. So it's not going to be Deathstalker I anymore, but rather Deathstalker II. Also, apparently Joel picked Wizards of the Lost Kingdom 2 sight unseen because of the title. Fortunately, that worked out for the best. Deathstalker. (Cerebro.) Keromaru5 fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Jul 30, 2018 |
