Big Mean Jerk posted:Has anyone here gone to one of the Mads live riffs? There’s one here next week and I was wondering if they bring/sign merch after the show? I want Frank’s books. I’ve seen them, they’re very cool about signing stuff and Frank’s books are for sale. Plus the show is great. I saw them riff The Tingler, it was delightful.

Reince Penis posted:I'm not sure how tight we are on season 12 spoilers here but Frank was away from his radio show for a week and posted a pic of him and Patton during that time so guess who's probably making a cameo! Based on this spoiler, it now occurs to me that TV's Frank could also be called TV's Father of TV's Son of TV's Frank. Not that I'm claiming it as a good idea.

Oddly, and as Joel promised, there's another pledge drive for the new season of MST3K. If you want a Season 12 tshirt, tote bag, or poster, now is your chance to get that. You can also get an AP / EP credit or an invention exchange invention, Crow, or Tom Servo production prop. Are the bots props? Don't tell them I asked.Ardy posted:Every new pledge will be used to help us keep Mystery Science Theater healthy, and allow us to take MST3K into the future... plus you’ll get some cool rewards in return!

The digital download of S12 for $50 seems like a good deal. (In fact, most of the sub $100 stuff seems decent) The Executive Producer credit on all episodes and private screening would be cool, but there’s no way I could justify that amount of money.

New email to the Kickstarter backers shows some of the pages for the MST3K comic. Since adding silhouettes and word bubbles to existing comic panels is too messy, they're just redrawing the pages with MST3K guys acting as/replacing certain characters. So they're reenacting the original stories while calling things out. Kind of like a classic Deadpool comic from the late-90's where Deadpool and Blind Al went back in time and pretended to be Spider-Man and Aunt May in an old Spider-Man comic from the 60's.

So I stumbled across an old episode I don't think I'd ever seen before, San Francisco International. It's pretty hilarious. While no doubt running an airport is a big job, Parnell Roberts elevates it to impossibly smug levels. I wish they'd gotten to do more of these kludged together 70s TV movies. (There's the Master Ninjas and Riding With Death. Am I forgetting any?)

(There's the Master Ninjas and Riding With Death. Am I forgetting any?) Stranded in Space is one, Code Name: Diamond Head is another, and closer to SFI, since they were both TV pilots, while The Master Ninja and Riding With Death were TV Eps edited into movies. Rocky Jones, Fugitive Alien films, and Time of the Apes are other TV shows edited into movies. Overdrawn at the Memory Bank was a PBS movie.

We had a safe landing because there were no mushy wheels on my plane. Sadly, I failed to find any vending machines that sold diet gum, and I certainly didn't meet any made-for-TV hippies. 'The answer my friend, is blow it out your arse' never, ever fails to catch me off guard or to make me laugh (it's up there with the increasingly gastic 'fat man' sound effects from Overdrawn at the Memory Bank. I should give it another watch if only to honour the recently departed Tab Hunter

Is that the one where they take a bunch of bureaucrats or investors or something up in a plane and pretend it's going to crash just to show them that safety is important? Because gently caress those guys.

Yeah, it's the Senate like above, but you must understand that Robert Parnell has the most important job in the world and possibly scaring people into heart conditions is worth it. Mike and the Bots' hilarious punching down of the kid whose parents are getting a divorce so he steals a plane is one of the funniest things I've come across in a while.

I think there were a couple for both Spider-Man and Captain America back then too Also they unfortunately never got English dubs for the most part, but multiple Tokusatsu series got those kind of compilation movies, imagine how Joel/Mike/Jonah and the Bots would react to something as ridiculous as Kamen Rider V3 or the Gorangers, it would be gold

Part of what makes those Sandy Frank movies so rough is that they weren't simply a few episodes in a row made to look like one movie, like with Master Ninja and San Francisco International. They were cobbled together from entire 13 to 26-episode TV series. Stories that originally had a lot of time to breathe wound up crammed into a few hours with a lot of important scenes glossed over. I have no idea if any of their uncut versions were remotely any good, though Mighty Jack was produced by one of the creators of Godzilla and Ultraman. For comparison, when Japanese producers decided to make a compilation movie out of Mobile Suit Gundam's 43 episodes, they made it a trilogy.

She alternated between head in her hands, and glaring at the screen and/or me in pure anger. I count that as a success. Next time- Starfighters  What threw me the most was MacGyvers boss showing up to yell at TV hippies. And that we found out afterwards that the plane the kid stole actually is the easiest to fly plane ever. It's rigged so it's like having the Easy control mode from Ace Combat on all the time- wheel only, no rudder pedals.

Saw The Mads tonight. They riffed The Choppers, another movie starring Arch Hall Jr of Eegah fame (infamy?). After that, they riffed two absolutely horrifying shorts: one with a hellspawn walking mouth and ears that I can’t find on YouTube, and this thing. Frank and Trace were really nice, though Frank seemed pretty reserved. He only really lit up when my friend asked him about Cartoon Dump. Pretty great night overall though, they’re both still great riffers. It was nice to see them be absolutely brutal and just tear into a film in ways they never could on broadcast tv.

Inspired by the thread, last night I watched San Francisco International with my girlfriend, who works in operations for an airline. She had exactly the same reaction: yelling at the screen about all the things that simply would not happen, or don't work that way, no matter how many decades ago it takes place. It was great.
