Hooray, I'm on a cruise when it drops and I'm not paying the ridiculous fees for shipboard wifi. I realize this is the definition of a first world problem.

Big Mean Jerk posted:I like Bobo but they never seemed to know how to write for him. There's a segment at the end of The Undead where Bobo is making a sandwich and it's obvious from the start that he's going to turn around and grab Observer's brain from the fridge and eat it on accident, but the skit goes on forever and it practically crawls to the punchline. It's almost excruciating to watch. I love that bit. For the most part, I was always kinda meh on Bobo, but I love Brain Guy, particularly his insistence that he has no body. I loved when Frank was asking to have his soul, and Brain Guy responding that he was "barking up the wrong albino".

In a similar vein to the Sven and Ole sketch, I always liked their Bergmanesque Death and Taxes promo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1w_dp2PK9E

Bicyclops posted:e: Also, I just watched the Mike speaker scene and sort of found it funny, if only because of the context. They basically just sat through 20 minutes of that song in the terrible blob movie (which is probably so bad, not even riffing can save it) Nonsense, the Creeping Terror is one of the best episodes.

DivisionPost posted:He still had some pretty bad blood with Mallon at the time, didn't he? Wired did a really good oral history of MST3K a few years ago, where Kevin (I think it was him) said he never thought Joel and Jim liked each other, and Joel went on to say Jim's insistence on directing the movie was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I think one of the smart things Joel did was to have Jonah help pick the new bots. They have a built in, natural rapport, and it helps to rekindle the vibe of the old show, which to me alway seemed like a bunch of friends having a good time.

It could also just be that he's tired of being asked. He and Frank are doing their own thing now, and I'd imagine that's still question number one at every Q&A.

I'm up to 1105, and I have to say that Jim Henson's Magnum PI Babies might be my favorite riff of the season so far. So funny, so accurate to what's on screen, and so true to the humor of the original show.

And then Crow's heavily accented "I have a-breakededed the door" in Hercules just destroyed me. Christ, they've hit this show out of the park. I'd love an extended version of the Skeleton Crew's ska version of To Earth.

Bobbin Threadbare posted:To be fair, one of the giant monster movies was mostly a cowboy movie, and MST3k never did too many of those. I'm reminded of Last of the Wild Horses, where the evil mirror Servo is going off on Crow and Mike, then notices "Ooh, a cowboy movie!" and the rest of the segment was normal after that.

Cry Wilderness is in my top five episodes of the show, period. The best of the season IMO are that, Avalanche, Carnival Magic, and Hollow Mountain. I've also got a soft spot for Reptilicus for starting the whole thing off with a bang.

Speaking of the live show: As Eegah was being shaved, I laughed very hard at (I think) Servo flatly saying "I hate this". Was also glad to hear the monotone "tequila" riff brought back.

Don't know if anyone else saw it, but there was an update yesterday on a new season: Joel said nothing is definite but he remains hopeful. That said, both Elliott Kalan and Rebecca Hanson are moving to LA, so I'm hoping that's a sign of some good news on the renewal front.

They also launched an MST3K Online Store today. I wouldn't think they'd do that if they weren't pretty sure they were coming back.

twistedmentat posted:I got to talk to head writer Elliott Kalan last night and yes, the Henchmen are from Inframan. I'm still finding people who aren't 100% convinced of that, but he said Joel specifically choose that design. Also, after appologising that everyone suggests movies, I hope they do do Inframan, and he said that they want to, its all about securing the rights. I take it you were at the Toronto Flop House Show. How was it? I'm aching to hear them do Book of Henry.
