Yesterday I finished up a major video essay on the relative weaknesses of S11 and S12: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlWesQinQD8 TL;DW is that wow were they rushed. I can't believe they let Jonah straight up say 'we were filming two episodes a day' in the Netflix making of documentary. Thank god the Gizmoplex seems to be getting everything back on track. Really hope there's going to be a season 14.

Clouseau posted:Also in the video a Bonnaroo reference was stated as proof that the writing got too bougie which idk, its a fairly popular music festival. Maybe I'm just a bougie guy, but it doesn't seem really out of step for them to reference it. They open Pod People with an Art Chautauqua sketch! I might have been a little oversensitive to music festivals, admittedly I've never been to it myself but as an Austin resident the research i did on it gave me ACL vibes in terms of the tone and pricing. Probably should have gone with the Aspen reference elsewhere in Cry Wilderness instead. Sardonik fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Dec 22, 2022 |

A Pack of Kobolds posted:The important takeaway from all of this is that Cry Wilderness is rad. Very much so. Even after everything the 'it's not a great map of Australia' and 'looks like their table is ready' gags making fun of the weird luminescent bigfoot pendant loving kill me. Pointing out the hilariously bad fake tiger prop too, of course.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Is gizmoplex a good app? It's a bit messy. Seasons you buy won't be on the 'my list' landing page for the library section. You have to drill down on the 'Purchased' tab, which doesn't always seem to show up, for me at least. I think there's a similar dynamic on the website too. It Chromecasts fine though, to be sure.

Justin Credible posted:As someone who grew up with MST and rewatches regularly, this was good poo poo dude Hey thanks! And yeah that comment is wild, I hadn't even considered that there would be teams of writers working under the credited writers. Now I'm wondering what the true writer count for Cry Wilderness might have been. S13 definitely gives me a lot of hope for S14 so I hope to be able to make a very positive gizmoplex-centric follow up down the line.

Hazo posted:Guess I shouldn't be surprised but Felicia Day's delivery is fantastic, would love to see more of her riffing I was really surprised by how many people whined about Felicia in the comments of the video. I'm guessing it's just a lot of profoundly juvenile gamergate types because to me she seemed to be nailing it throughout the series.

I'll cop to liking Tormented. Unlike essentially every other movie MST3K has done, there's an actual dramatic tension. Though still not executed particularly well.

I've heard the reason for the extremely hard cut nearing the end of Overdrawn at the Memory Bank was that they cut like, a whole third of it.

I realize this was a little ways back, but in terms of KTMA episodes don't sleep on The Last Chase. It's aged hilariously in the context of modern urban planning/car dependency discourse

I kind of hope they keep doing the more obscure/low budget bad movies like demon squad. For example, The Time Machine (I found at a yardsale) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0qwuSOk6aY

drrockso20 posted:So finally getting around to trying out the remake of Dead Space and one of the big changes they made was having the player character Isaac Clarke be a speaking character instead of a silent protagonist, and man the voice and personality they gave him just makes it really easy to picture him being a test subject on the Satellite of Love Isaac would be able to repair the part of the theater that starts/stops the movie even without the special parts Joel used to make his robot friends.

Are any of the KTMA episodes worth watching? Because they (understandably) feel pretty rough so far The Last Chase (lol what if cars were made illegal) SST- Death Flight (Notably, I think this is the movie Airplane! parodied) Phase IV (utterly incomprehensible but in an oddly compelling way)

I'll be the first to admit that modern MST3K has had problems. But in terms of the riffing quality I genuinely believe 13's riffs are evidence it's getting better, and they deserve the chance of at least one more season. Especially if they can dial back some of the more chaotic aspects of 13, all the copies of crow and tom and all. Maybe they should pick a single host and set of bots and go with it.
