Fun fact: it's pronounced Cold Iron, but spelled Coldyron. I really wish it was pronounced Coldy Ron.

Also why did they make ROTOR basically Judge Dredd but without a conscience, and yet Robot Cop had a sassy human personality? Was he built when they thought the post-apocalypse wasteland would be ruled by a tribunal of people who'd been on "Dean Martin's Celebrity Roasts"?

Speaking of insanity, I saw another riffable short that praised marriage as the union of two incomes. But it denounced those newlyweds for blowing money on furniture instead of establishing a heritage of silver dinnerware. Now available thru payment plans so you can buy it even if you can't afford a chauffeur.

My wife has been watching a lot of 50s kitchen shorts and last night she found one that basics said not having an all-electrical kitchen would cause a housewife to age prematurely. “Honey, get an electric range or I will die” is a heck of a sales pitch.

Does she follow any youtube channels for them? Periscopefilm, weirdo video, Jeff Quitney, etc? Edit: Here's one where people get hurt because of moral failings. It's narrated by a talking clock. https://youtu.be/fVcapo3cyEk RandomPauI fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Sep 30, 2018 |

Retro Puppet Master is just... an utterly ill-conceived movie on every level. Like, even aside from the acting blowing chunks, the whole idea of the movie is dumb as hell even by Full Moon/DeCoteau standards and it actively retcons one of the better movies in the franchise.

Barely anything actually happens in the movie, it feels like 20 minutes of plot stretched out over an hour and a half. Also the movie opens with old Toulon finding the broken cyclops puppet and saying he's going to explain what happened to him and then proceeds to not do that.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:And he's legit the best actor in it apart from Old Toulon in the preface. The best part of Retro Puppet Master is reading in the Disaster Artist that the reason Greg Sestero got the part for the movie was because he, having a native French mother and speaking French as a second language, was able to "nail Toulon's accent" and blow away the casting team. And then you go and see the movie and hear the actual accent Greg is putting on and you can only wonder: "Holy gently caress-balls, what must the other actors who auditioned for the part have sounded like?"

Don't forget that they originally asked him to do a British accent for a character named Andre Toulon but he felt like he couldn't do it so he suggested French instead.

I've got the Full Moon add-on to my Amazon Prime thing and they, as a studio, have gone HEAVY into A) jokey self-referential poo poo and B) just plain repackaging footage of older movies into "compilations" that are entirely pointless in the age of streaming.

The tackiest part is that they have also taken to crowdfunding to crank out their stuff, and the resulting films are still half recap!

It then ends with him telling you hell tell you what happened to him another time and Im going to wager he doesnt do that either!!!

As someone who mainly watched the original back in the day I find it a little off to have movies where the puppets are the heroes seeing as in the first couple they definitely were not and would just straight up murder people.

This isn't technically Rifftrax related, but Mike Nelson and Rifftrax writer Connor Lastowka have restarted their bad book review podcast 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back. This time they're doing Eye of Argon. They also have a patreon. If you haven't given a listen to their series of podcasts on Ready player One, I recommend it.

Looks like I'm super late to the party, but my Kickstarter/driptax pins and coin just arrived (and my DVDs). Never really expected to have TWO copies of Space Mutiny (granted one is MST3k) but looking forward to comparing the two as there were scenes in the Rifftrax version (not just the extended ~sexy~ scene) that I don't recall in the MST3k version.

It's shot like it should be a little light-hearted, humorous jungle romp that you'd see think pieces about condemning its patronizing racism as antiquated and instead, well, you got this movie where some really awful people have some terrible things happen to them but you keep waiting for a laugh track anyway.
