And two of their other significant mandates that affected the show were "no shorts"

The dumbest mandate. Young Man's Fancy, Day at the Fair, the Auto Show Whatever the Hell that was, KEEPING NEAT AND CLEAN, Are You Ready for Marriage, the one where Union Pacific implores us to not get run over by trains, the time a demon and an angel battle for the soul of a bread delivery man, and that kid that cheated on the test outstrip many of the full length movies in awesome riffs.

Best possible thing would be a secret District 9 sequel where the prawns invade halfway through some big budget romantic comedy.

Somewhere I have a rough draft of pretty much this.

It turns when they're laying in a field watching for shooting stars, which turn out to be alien dropships.

Somehow I'd skipped Beast of Hollow Mountain, so I went back to it today.

Holy poo poo is that an insane movie. Like... I can't even understand how it happened. Although I must say that the dinosaur effects weren't that bad for the time, apparent budget, and general competence of the filmmakers.

Do not watch Future War under any circumstance, even being held at gunpoint. You've been warned.

I decided today's film will be Future War, starting Jean Claude Goshdarn and Maybe Ving Rhames.

When I was younger I thought the insane daughter from Young Man's Fancy (Crinkle Cut French Fries) was crazy hot. And I had a leg up on Alexander Phipps because I wasn't named Alex Phipps.

Just made it through Star Crash. Great episode but my sperg side was squirming uncomfortably the whole time.

It's like they'd never actually seen an SF movie but just had the general idea relayed to them by a five year old before they threw one together.

Or you saw Star Wars and Barbarella, like...literally those were the only two movies you've ever seen, and decided to split the difference. But didn't have the skill, talent, or general wherewithal to do it.

I've watched Prince of Space more times than is healthy. A lot of good riffs and one of the stiffest, strangest dubs I've ever heard in my life. Krankor sounds like he got hired away from his day job of tying down maidens to railway tracks.

I haven't gotten to that one yet, but if it's just a line or two, it's fair use.

Also, apparently you've forgotten they did stuff like that all the time on the old show. Tom replying "Where you going with that gun in your hand?" when a character says "Hey Joe," Mike singing a few bars of "Isn't She Lovely" when a character is waving his head back and forth kinda like Stevie Wonder, Tom singing "Broken Glass" along with the credits music to "Time Chasers"... I mean, if you didn't like it then either, fine, but it's nothing new.

I'm still shocked, all these years later, that Mike is eight times a lady

It isn't the best riff ever, or even a particularly good one really, but I completely lose it at the USA chant when the chimp is pouring the orange juice in Carnival Magic.

Also, Yongary tickled me right where I like to be tickled: insane Japanese or Korean giant monster movies where a kid is inexplicably involved in a national catastrophe.

buying up the north pole just so you can evict santa is a super dick move. what are you going to do with the land afterwards? open an applebees?

Mineral rights :colbert:

Also, it isn't like the guy was charging some insane amount of money, given that a bunch of slumchildren gave Santa enough pennies to pay the rent. poo poo, who was Santa's landlord before? Do I need to rewatch it to figure out how the guy bought the North Pole in the first place? DID SANTA SELL IT?!

It wasn't exactly in the modern era, but Francis X. Bushman was a loving titan before he was the guy who planned to speak during the entire flight of the Lunar Eagle 1.

Here's a fun game: try to picture the movies as the directors were clearly shooting for (and missed spectacularly).

So Future War but it's actually Van Damme and he's fighting Schwarzenegger and JP-quality velociraptors. Or Final Sacrifice only now it's Charles Bronson fist-fighting Tim Curry in a cyclopean ruin.

Laserblast ends up exactly the same way no matter what.

Racket Girls at least has a reasonably sane premise and mainly fails on the execution and production quality, which is more than you can say for many of the other 50s movies riffed.

I'm not sure what the hell Batwoman is even supposed to be about, for example. Small timer that fixes women's wrestling matches gets too big for his britches and runs afoul of the mob is practically the Godfather by comparison.
