All in, ground floor, let the riffing begin. I really hope we get a good giant monster movie this season. Nothing's quite as good as MST3K roasting a giant monster film.

Niggurath posted:Yeah, I only realize in retrospect that the later season's Japanese fare was usually pretty racist, especially Neptune Men. Prince of Space wasn't as bad with it, but it had it's moments of bottom of the barrel racial Japanese stereotype comments. To be slightly fair to the Riffing gently caress Neptune Men. It shamelessly used WWII footage where people undoubtedly died for cheap stock footage. Neptune Men deserves all hate it gets. You don't bring out the Hitler Building and get away with that.

happyhippy posted:Has there been any talk or news articles on these roadblocks? Well for the Godzilla movies Toho Toho Aaaaaand Toho. Also there's like, this one lady who owns Five of the movies I think? And she won't ever let them be used by MST3K ever again. There's a specific name for them but I don't know what it was. I think It Conquered the World was one of them?

TL posted:Joe Don Baker is actually a terrific actor. The sad thing about Joe Don Baker is that yeah, he is. He is a fantastic actor Which means when he's playing a slobby, stupid, ugly, moron of a cop HE REALLY sells that role If he didn't have his little feud after Mitchel the riffing in Final Justice wouldn't have been quite so cutthroat though, so hey

I didn't want to say anything for fear of this miracle being a lie but If this really, REALLY is true and I hope to God it is because this sounds like a perfect MST3K season I cannot wait even more than ever before. This is beautiful and I love every second of it. I also may have seen most of this list by myself, so getting to see them riffed is going to be a treat. I cannot express how happy these movies make me.

I adore Zaat!, mostly because I saw it first without riffing. Zaat! is the most peculiar movie to just randomly find on late night TV. I think the riffing actually takes away a lot of the weirdness of the film, because it cuts down on how much of the movie is a crazy fishman scientist talking to himself while stalking people. Just the most surreal thing

I have never been able to decide which is funnier. Sea Monster is an inherently better MOVIE than Megalon, which makes it easier to watch But Megalon is a much worse movie which makes the riffing even better. Plus the popcorn sketch, Jesus Christ I don't think they ever surpassed that.

It Conquered The World is an okay Body Snatchers plot with an amazingly awful alien menace and genuinely extremely good to amazing actors who give every line of dialogue more credit than it could ever deserve Just seriously, Peter, Beverly and Cleef give that movie a soul

I got into MST3K because of the Godzilla reviews, though I never got to see those until much later. I had read and heard about them, and being a huge Godzilla fan it got me to look into the show as it was airing on SciFi. I also got into MST3K style riffing on terrible fanfiction back in the day, when I had naught but dial up and those were easy to find and pass the time with. So many lovely anime fanfiction, so many

PostNouveau posted:He founded Channel 101, which was basically a sketch comedy factory. I am eagerly awaiting the show to start making fun of privileged white men, and stupid geeks to froth at the mouth about how they've clearly sold out to the SJWscum and how this isn't real MST3K anymore. Mostly because that means they never watched Catching Danger and that invalidates any claim they have of being a fan

Yeah but there's a huge difference between being a comic and being a television personality. Joel had some adjusting to do when actually making the show Part of that was helped though, again over Mike, by having KTMA be a super long experiment period. Mike meanwhile just got shoved into a stupid brain movie and went from there

OldTennisCourt posted:Wasn't the major issue with Ring of Terror that the film was absurdly short and that's why they had to cram in a second short at the end to pump up the running time? Not at all. Prince of Space is much older, from 1958, and was actually a TV series, Planet Prince. WHen that proved successful, Toei made two movies based on it, which Sandy Frank grabbed to make this wonderful piece of art. Invasion of the Neptune Men is an actual honest to God movie from 1961 and was as it appears. That's why Prince of Space has such a weird pacing problem and a near schizophrenic plot- it is literally two different short movies chopped up and edited together.

I don't recall ever seeing it before, and nothing stood out to me while watching it, but afterward everything seems like it was vaguely familiar, like I saw it 10 years ago while ill and half conscious or something. The question isn't if you've seen Laser Blast before my friend The question is as simple as it is timeless ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!?!

It's a good movie. Good visuals, good music, pretty good acting. Not really a movie for everyone though. Really feel for you if your Lex Luthor is a suave businessman and not a broken nerd.

Powered Descent posted:The one that's always bothered me about that is that two of the host segments are clearly in the wrong order. Like, the one where Mike is caught in the giant web references something that hasn't even happened in the movie yet. I don't know if you noticed, but that would happen ALL THE GODDAMN TIME in the show. Teenagers from Outer Space, the Willy The Waffle skit which was years before they actually did Springs Just all the time they did skits out of order with the movie.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Whoa, lets not get crazy here. The 90's films are Grade-A enjoyable schlock. It's the Millennium films that suck. Megalon too, I've never seen the MST version but I can't imagine how they'd make it watchable. You need to watch the MST3K version right the gently caress now. They make that abysmal trash so worth watching. REX DART, ESKIMO SPY! It also has what is definitely my favorite skit they ever did, the popcorn gag. Just seriously, watch it. You won't regret it.

Turtlicious posted:So my uncle passed away, left me all of his old VHS and DVD's we were watching them together for a bit, and I guessed he wanted me to have them. It's unimportant how I go the DVD's though, so there's about 35 MST3K DvD's here, and I'm uploading them all to my PLEX Server as we speak, but uh... Which one do I start with? I love Let's play and poo poo like that, and these are like the proto-let's play as far as I understand? Especially when you consider people trashing old games, well I kind of want to start with the funniest versions of that. Idk, he always talked about it, and we never got around to watching it. Easiest way to go about this What's your favorite kind of movie

Check out Space Mutiny then. The whole gist with MST3K is that they take on some seriously bad, but also some times pretty good, B movies and riff on them not unlike a Let's Play, as you mentioned. They do a wide range of movies, from the 40s to the 90s. Future War is another good bad one for what you're into especially if you like Terminator rip offs with kick boxing and dinosaur puppets. From there, just go nuts. Lots of amazing films they've covered beyond the scifi genre as well. The new series is rumored to have Starcrash, which should align with you pretty well too.
