Without my wings
I feel so small

I was reading a recent interview from Mike and Kevin and the interviewer asked them 'Neil Breen movie when' and the impression I get is Neil hasn't allowed them access. Which is fine, that's his choice, but I mention it in case anybody wonders where a riff of I Am Here... Now!' is.

Breen is in no way self aware enough to let that happen.

in general, the rebel set is pretty underrated

For some reason I've always thought that Quentin Tarantino would be interested in remaking The Rebel Set.

Is the death noise Tom Servo makes for the dinosaur in Future War (around 1 hour, 21 minutes) a reference to something or just delightful improv? I feel insane trying to reproduce the sound in conversation.

Thanks. My friends and I broke a VHS tape rewinding it so many times trying to figure that out back in the day.

We had to do the same on Time Chasers proving to each other that you can see Lisa's dead body fling out of the plane as it explodes. I think we all just have poo poo eyesight and hearing or something.

I saw it come up in the RiffTrax FB group and I've never gotten this weird blanket 'skits on Comedy Central were good, SyFy skits were bad.' Those people must have never seen The Trial of Mike Nelson. (Or many others, but I watched that one recently and found it hysterical.)

Some of the early Joel skits (especially the invention exchanges) are physically painful to watch, whereas I’ve always found Pearl & Co. to be just fantastic.

I always chuckle at the "Ortega caters the movie break" skit. And anyone who doesn't like the skit where they try to get out of watching Hobgoblins by using cardboard cutouts of themselves, is in desperate need of a humor transplant.

If you can find some older interviews with the MST3K crew, this was absolutely the feedback they got. Sci-fi channel forced them to have an ongoing 'story' with the skits. There were a lot of bad ones. Ancient Rome, the weird 'kids' in a bunch of them, and a couple others.

They had some explosive finales thanks to Mike Nelson; Destroyer of Worlds at least.

More that was people complaining that the host segments had a continuity that was then ruined because Sci-Fi would air things out of order almost immediately. I think maybe they were aired in order first run, but I would not be shocked if they weren't.

There were funny bits in Rome, like Flavia describing Crow as a golden spider-duck and Servo as a squat crimson pig (while Mike was pleased to be called 'average-looking.') And I loved the space children (not to be confused with The Space Children which featured Jackie Coogan in little shorts). "Tanta Bobo has to visit Uncle Reconstructive Urologist!"

I liked how they fleshed out Mike’s character more than Joel’s, like how the bots constantly brought up his past as a deadbeat stoner and made fun of him for it.

That was actually Joel, I think in either Catalina Caper or The Beatniks. Mike did have that one rant about how some guy cost him a temp job though, that lasted with him fuming about it (while the bots stood around awkwardly) through the commercial break.

And although 'panties' rarely comes up as a key word or term in any of my lectures, whenever I do have a lecture or seminar with some awkward or silly point to it, I will say more or less, 'Right, we're going to hear this word a lot, so let's get them giggles out now.'

I didn't realize it until years later when I saw the movie but that has to be an Anatomy of a Murder reference, right?
