It's gonna be weird not having Trace and Kevin as the voices. I can get my Bill/Kevin fix from Rifftrax but hearing other voices coming out of the bots' mouths is gonna be weird the first few episodes.caligulamprey posted:Tom's EAT IT, MOVIE rant during Neptune Men is my personal favorite. bah dah, dah daht dah daaa

TL posted:I've said this before, but Mitchell is actually a decent movie. It's biggest failing is the lack of any sympathetic/likable characters. We're supposed to root for Mitchell, and he's just such a mess you can't. The movie has no clear beginning, middle, or end. I'm not 100% sure it still isn't going. And it has Joe Don Baker. Please seek help.

Actual line, not their addition. The Incredible Melting Man was another one of those that just didn't pan out. They need something to work with, you can only kick a truly horrible movie in the junk so many times before you realize it can't feel it. I don't know why everyone complains about Manos. Future War is the worst one they've done IMO. It made me literally try to eat a pillow. I refuse to watch it to this day.

I never really do top lists, but Future War is so great as a riff, it's always one I think of to get people into MST3K. I don't remember a thing about Future War other than my last thought of warning myself the memory was going to be deleted for a reason. Seriously I have no idea why that movie made me want to gouge my eyes out but it most certainly did. I mean, I'm quite certain it was funny but the movie itself... yikes.

SamuraiFoochs posted:That was the moment I fell in love all over again. Also hi Chokes! I miss seeing your avatar. Hello! I don't get out of C-SPAM much these days Also I just assumed the new rapid fire stuff was just Jonah's delivery. He goes through lines FAST but he manages to enunciate all of them clearly. It was that way during his test run with Joel at the reunion show, too. I'm slowly adjusting to Servo not being Kevin but Gypsy still screws with me every time. It helps that they only give her a few lines in Epsiode 1, so every time she opens her mouth it's BAD NO WRONG AAAAA also I know I'm supposed to just relax but how did Servo Crow and the SoL get up there again after the original show finale? Did they just rebuild them? Why would Kinga install robots to help keep Jonah sane? It just doesn't make any sense and oh a popcorn bucket *relaxes*

I kinda hope it's not explained and it's just an excuse to get Gypsy in the theater. She's batting 1.000 on the riffs so far. It's just weird. Is she just doing ship upkeep? Who knows. Also fun fact: Arby (the guy in the suit delivering the movie) is actually Joel

I feel like everything falls flat when they're forcefully cramming jokes into every available silence. The action sequences in Reptilicus and the beginning of Cry Wilderness are particularly bad in this respect. They need to slow down a bit and actually let the jokes hit. Two episodes in and I'm finding more to like than dislike, though. I feel like Reptilicus was the stronger of the first two episodes and "Bulimicus!" gave me the biggest laugh so far. Sometimes it's the little things.

Magic Hate Ball posted:A few episodes in and wondering if they shot these chronologically because already Avalanche feels way more natural than Reptilicus, which had a kind of overbearing franticness to the riffing. I do wish they'd slow down a little, sometimes Jonah spits out a riff so fast I can barely understand what he's saying. I mentioned this earlier but Jonah can do rapid fire without losing enunciation. It's just his style for riffing. But, yeah, for Reptilicus they were doing the riffs so fast it was hard to keep up. It worked really well with the clock and temperature gauge joke, though. I have a theory the first episode's riffs feel rushed because they took extra time to set up the back story. With an extra ten minutes they don't have to cram in quite so much between skits.

One thing I haven't mentioned is Kinga's birth of Venus entrance during the intro. I hope she just stands on the platform whenever she goes somewhere and her henchman push her around to places, even when she's getting on and off spaceships.

I remember there being bitterness over the royalties to the old series, but I also know Frank said they'd make sure to cut in old alums this time. I'd like to see Mike on the show, I just don't know how poisoned the well is between him and Joel. I'm probably making poo poo up, but they still seemed tense during the reunion show.

I'm only ("only") on Starcrash right now, and I think my favorite moment of the whole series so far is Kinga's and Max's baffled expressions at the end as to whether or not they drove them insane or they always act like that Just a fun moment of "oh god what the gently caress did we get ourselves into"

Evil Mastermind posted:"We've either driven them insane or turned them into eight-year-olds." It's especially funny because the experiment subjects have typically outlasted at least one or more mads, in Mike's case literally outliving Dr. F. It's basically gotten to the point now where the subject in the Experiment is more dangerous than the Experiment itself.

fsif posted:Just watched the first half of Reptilicus and I'm legitimately shocked that this reboot is as good as it is. I had totally checked out because I was certain an MST3K revival would be a disaster. The next few rocket up in quality immediately, and by the time you hit the Hercules movie (appropriately enough, given the initial series' herc movies were all incredible) they're firing on all cylinders. Kinga in particular seemed a little uneasy, but by the herc episode, she's established her character. The moment I started finally seeing her as a mad was when she screamed at the top of her lungs right in Max's face and then turned back around to calmly address Jonah. Just think, soon she'll be killing Max for the first time. They grow up so fast

I'm probably projecting but I think even the cast was having problems at first not being the character that came before them, and Crow's VA still can't get away from sounding like Trace despite trying in rehearsals. It takes them a bit to find their own thing but they eventually figure it out. Also I love how the guys distract themselves with the most inane poo poo when Kinga and Max are doing a sketch. The Marco Polo one got me because it's just so incredibly random.

Bruteman posted:There are a couple of episodes that show they remove oxygen from the rest of the ship (they did this to Mike I think?), and the Mads can shock people who aren't in the theater (pretty sure this was a Joel episode). Yeah, the mads force compliance and shutting off oxygen is their most common play. In the movie, Dr. F chases then back in by shooting lasers out of an interocitor. Jonah also mentions Kinga zaps him with cattle prods if he doesn't do the show open after they Hoover him up. So basically going along with it is a lot less painful than not.
