Some of my go-to faves are Cave Dwellers, Danger! Death Ray! Skydivers, 12 To The Moon, Catalina Caper, Fire Maidens, San Francisco International, and Creeping Terror. Admittedly, mainly for background listening.

I just got the shipping notification that my T-Shirt and postcard set are shipping!  I was supposed to be getting a mug, too, but I guess that's shipping separately?

Yeah, I mean even in the early Joel era they had those jokes all over Catalina Caper, and of course there was "Thank God I'm white!" when Jimmy gets pardoned by the judge in I Accuse My Parents.

Well, let's see if the Wikipedia summary can clear things up.quote:Supercriminal Fu Manchu plots to freeze the world's oceans with a diabolical new device. With his evil daughter, Lin Tang, his army of dacoits, and the help of the local crime organization led by Omar Pasha (whom Fu Manchu doublecrosses), Fu Manchu takes over the governor's castle in Istanbul which has a massive Opium reserve, to control the largest opium port in Anatolia, a fuel for his machine. Fu Manchu needs the help of an intelligent scientist with an ailing heart whom he has imprisoned. In order to keep the scientist alive he kidnaps a doctor and his wife to give the scientist a heart transplant from one of his obedient servants. Opposing him from Britain's Interpol, is his nemesis Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie.

e: ^ ^ ^ also that According to legend, Monster-a-Go-Go was intended to just be the second movie in a Hershel Gordon Lewis prepackaged double feature, because he was sick of drive-in owners ripping him off.

Just a heads-up: the this year's Rifftrax KS has announced that Trace and Frank will be joining in on one of this year's shows. They also added a $1 tier that gets you two new shorts.

A little late, but if you haven't seen it I highly recommend watching the Roger Corman documentary Corman's World. It's a fascinating watch, and it really did make me respect him.

I know I'm probably alone on this, but I really like Ring of Terror as an episode. It's such a great example of those old movies trying to set up a "world" with side characters and subplots and stuff.Hogama posted:They're only really related in that they're both tokusatsu genre (read: live action filming heavy on special effects, like sci-fi and superheroes) releases from Toei. Prince of Space came a few years before Neptune Men and was more noticeably imitating the successful Super Giant (Starman in America) series a few years prior. In the end the less well-regarded entries into the genre probably just feel familiar because someone was trying to make a quick yen following established conventions, mostly. Copies of copies of copies.

Larryb posted:Out of curiousity, what was the hero of the second movie originally called (and for that matter, what was the film's orginal title) and why did the dub change it to Sinbad? Sadko. According to Wikipedia it's based on an opera which was (in turn) based on an old epic fable. e: the movie was changed by Roger Corman's distribution house, but the reason for the changes was probably the ol' "other cultures make people confused" thinking.

Gavok posted:I watched Rocketship X-M because it's one of the landmark episodes (first Kevin Murphy and Frank) and that was one of the hardest movies to sit through. The wiki description of the plot is like 5-6 paragraphs and the first two or three sentences take up 3/4 of the movie. I actually like Rocketship X-M. Yeah it's slower than hell, but I've got a soft spot for those old sci-fi movies that try to be all forward thinking and having a MESSAGE, Like 12 To The Moon.

I think more than any other MST3k movie, I'd want to hear a director's commentary, or at least an account of someone who was involved in the movie, on Sidehackers. The whole whiplash switch from "sport movie sort of" to "revenge for my raped/murdered fiance" just makes no sense, and I'd love to hear what the hell made that happen. Or what the crew's reaction was.

Pleasing Shape posted:Pluto TV has an all-MST3K channel with maybe 20 or so episodes in good quality, and is totally free. They seem to loop 4 or 5 episodes a day. I know there's apps for iPhone and Amazon. I think the episodes on Pluto are the ones on the official MST3k YouTube channel, because Pluto pulls most of its content from YT.

Bicyclops posted:The only legit-ish complaints I see are that things are a little too fast-paced, we don't see enough of the Mads, and there are some sound sync issues (bots mouths moving a bit after they speak, riffs hitting just a second before the thing they're riffing hits the screen etc). I'm sure the first two are just that they have to move through the premise quickly to get to the riffing (I mean, there's always only so much of the Mads we can see), and they probably get a little better at the sound sync stuff as the season goes.

Powered Descent posted:The only things I can think to nitpick are the tiny things that have already been brought up -- Needs more time spent with the Mads, the host segments seemed a little rushed, I have no idea what was the deal with Gypsy dropping off and picking up the thing. Overall, I think they nailed the goofy handmade tone perfectly. Earlier on Crow set up a bucket over there to "catch" some of the acid(?) slime Reptillicus was was barfing out; Gypsy was hoisting it up.
