That reminds me, what was the name of the fake website they made for their Matrix Revolution riff in vein of the now sadly passed on Abe Vigora? I remember it was something like Big Dead rear end Guy, but I don't really want to google that to find something unrelated.

It's definitely not as incompetent as 90% of what they watched, just too ambitious. I'd argue the same about 'Overdrawn At The Memory Bank'.

It Conquered The World is up there as well from the opposite direction- they had an almost decent script, *HORRIBLE* effects and props, and some of the best drat actors around to make it sing.

Whoever keeps writing Sonic the Hedgehog pregnant fanart jokes deserves a raise. Also my theater was shockingly full considering the circumstances, maybe 2/3-3/4. Which made it all the louder when the video dropped out and then audio. Luckily because we're west coast, they just had to fix the projector and rewind the Dish DVR they recorded it on, just to re-emphasize that 80% of equipment in the average theater is outclassed by anyone with a half-decent home theater setup. I hadn't seen this before so the entire thing was an amazing, terrible surprise. There really are a lot of movies out there where the women seem to actively and visibly fight against the movie forcing the romance on them, good lord.

I don't get how we went from the recent past being altered to things being fixed in the slightly more recent past. Slightly more recent past guy was stuck in the past so he couldn't have given the second demo much less changed the pitch.

Can you give a quick spoiler for Baskin? The movie sites and wikipedia didn't give away the ending when I checked. disgusting things happen, a cop car crashes, they wind up in hell while stopping a cult and then weird things happen. Edit: K. Gordon Murray did a thing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMMZQsYpdHM I haven't finished watching it yet but this is supposed to be an epic battle of good vs. evil. Stinky the Skunk is supposed to be in it to for some reason. Edit 2: A few minutes in and we have a musical number, Stinky the Skunk, Ferocious Wolf with Ulcer, and blackface racism! Edit 3: Wow, little girl sings like a fat 40 year old housewife. RandomPauI fucked around with this message at 09:57 on May 6, 2016 |

It's odd that they decided to go with that day of all days. My theater was pretty sparse, compared to when they did past live events like The Room and Godzilla 98, which had packed houses. I'm wondering if Rifftrax will eventually have to move off Thursdays, with the rise of the Thursday pre-screenings. The MST Reunion Show will I'm sure be a packed house (I'm excited for Mike and Joel Riffing together, please let this happen). Also, Chimp smoking cigars.

The best thing about seeing these movies on the big screen is that you really see some of the bizarre visual moments you never noticed before on TV. Like the look on Lisa's face when Nick puts her in that weird hug/headlock just before she gets shot.

One thing I noticed about Time Chasers is that every car (except the limo) is an abject piece of poo poo. Like the alleged branch chief originally shows up in a Corolla Hatchback circa 1988.

Saw this in NYC; theater was almost full! Very few people seem to have seen the movie on "MST3K" because nearly everyone expressed surprise when it suddenly cut to the Revolutionary War. Also, that is the one of the most out-of-left-field reveals on any "MST3K"/Rifftrax movie, and its especially weird because the movie is pretty by-the-numbers up to that point. I had totally forgotten the ridiculous bike chase, and that cabbie was an amazing addition to the movie. Biggest laugh for me was the "solpanls" callback with that poor day player trying to pronounce government.

They really should have adjusted their story to fit their budget because they couldn't do like 90% of the things they wanted. The biggest example was how they couldn't even afford two matte paintings for the future scenes.

Also, they could afford to rent some Community College Administration Office, but only had access to the hallways!? Lots of filming outdoors on what one presumes is public land. Using the Revolutionary War reenactors is actually pretty shrewd since I'm sure they were just tickled pink that they could be a real life movie. I also like at the end how he just scraps the whole thing, when it really wasn't the technology's fault, but his hubris that was to blame. Use revolutionary technology for good? Nah, tried that once. Didn't work out.

The limo was probably on the meter from the limo company the whole time. And man, the CEO's office was waaaay more funny to me than it should have been. I live in an area where they built a shitload of that exact kind of generic office building. So in my mind, he's set up in the stairwell next to a pediatrician's office--and they get an actual door. I feel like this would have been a better movie if we'd started partway into the timeloop somehow. It would work--it seemed like in the second timeline, they could still see the Good Future since they hadn't hadn't over the time machine stuff yet. They had some good ideas, but fell far, far short in terms of writing, motivation, and acting.

That part didn't make any sense to me. The second loop Nick should have gone to the bad future since it was happening "now." They would have still been able to stop it but he should have gone there.

There's a group of regulars (about 20 people or so) who go to all of these who were at my showing. We don't talk to each other. The screening ended up being an hour later than it was on the website., but this has happened enough times that I'm used to it by now, I always bring something else to do in case it was wrong. No one else was in the theater The only time there's ever a packed showing for these locally is during the Christmas live show, although Birdemic sold out two shows. Ramadu posted:I...I have no idea what you could do with that film. Make a lot of make sure you have frogs when encountering cops jokes? That movie is truly insane Forced demon sex, births into oil pans, calling each other "bro" constantly. RandomPauI posted:Can you give a quick spoiler for Baskin? The movie sites and wikipedia didn't give away the ending when I checked. disgusting things happen, a cop car crashes, they wind up in hell while stopping a cult and then weird things happen. I can give you a summary of what happens but I don't know if it really captures the insanity, also this might be out of order somewhat: Film starts with boy hearing his mother having sex. Then there's a scary moment where it seems like he gets attacked. Then it jumps to the future where a bunch of cops are eating at a late night diner. The cops are giant dicks. The jerkiest cop beats up the waiter for fun They are afraid of frogs. They possibly get fed human flesh, but it doesn't go anywhere. They get a call, they go out on a call, they lose radio signal (of course) and get lost in the woods. They eventually run a person over, and swerve and fall into the water. They possibly die here? Or they don't. There is a flashback that reveals the chief of police and the young cop possibly have magic powers. The flashback ends with him being dragged out of the water. They meet some country bumpkins who they harass because they're dick cops, and they get directions to this house. They go to the house and it's full of frogs and, people with gross masks (or gross faces maybe) in cages, or in chains and loving. They all get caught and wake up chained to a wall. A little person demonesque guy comes out and removes the jerkiest cop's eye and then asks him to have sex with a woman who crawls into the room on all fours. "Woman" or demon or whatever. He does but his heart's not really in it, and apparently you really got to be into demon woman loving to breed whatever sort of creature they're trying to breed. But he's not that into it so I guess it doesn't work. We learn at this point that Young Cop is the boy at the beginning of the movie, and that somehow he has his powers to see dead people because a childhood friend died. The chief of police sacrifices his magic powers to the young cop, represented by a key embedded in his throat. Young cop uses the key and gets away somehow. Demon woman births whatever baby was placed in her into an oil pan. This is underselling this. She gets up on two legs, walks over to an oil pan, and PLOP a baby comes out and into the pan. The guy escapes the evil house. As he's about to get away, he goes out into the street to flag down help. It turns out it's the van with the cops and he is the person they run over. This was all a time loop. Rick fucked around with this message at 20:15 on May 6, 2016 |

Watching the Rifftrax Live of Time Chasers made me realize I never paid that much attention to the actual movie before—or maybe the MST3K episode edited out some important scenes. I thought it was especially dark how basically every character "dies" in a different timeline, but the movie doesn't take it seriously at all. And I did notice the movie audio was off by a second, but it seems to be a problem with Rifftrax's setup since there was no delay on Bill, Mike, and Kevin's video and audio. bobservo fucked around with this message at 20:52 on May 6, 2016 |

I feel like we didn't talk about Cyber Tracker much at all. Just saw it and could barely stay awake. What a truly mediocre, boring movie. Literally about 40% of the movie is loooong drawn out shoot outs with the titular Cyber Tracker where no one gets hit. Riffing was ok but barely saved it.

If you haven't seen Nightmare At Noon yet, it's the perfect follow-up, and I liked the riffing even better than Mutant. For those who didn't already know, Nightmare At Noon is a psuedo-remake of Mutant, with the same premise and even the same lead actors, but playing different characters and now everything is happening during the day instead of at night. It's pretty loving bizarre to watch the two back-to-back and wonder what the point of the latter even was.
