Mister Kingdom posted:The "invisible ray screen" on their helmets ranks up there with the fake telephone ring in Monster A-Go-Go. "Even he doesn't buy it!" 12 to the Moon has its most important lesson in "bring cats." Pity there was no room for them in the Command Module or the LEM. I'm a big fan of Double 007 and First Spaceship on Venus, they're both kinda earnest and mean well, plus the former gives Moneypenny more to do in one scene than she ever got to do in the regular Bond films. All of the spy films have something to recommend them. Secret Agent Super Dragon has that killer musical sting, Danger: Death Ray has Tommy's toy boat special effects and a death ray to be used for peaceful purposes only.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Fun in Ballonland is my absolute favorite Rifftrax. It's right up there with the best of MST3k Fun in Balloonland. Just... WTF MOVIE!?! That and "Setting Up a Room." I would love for Joel's take on both of those, there would have to be at least one Circle Pines reference.

The popcorn sketch and the bots discussing their monsters are two of my favorite host segments ever. Crow: "He has been... acquainted with the night." Joel: "Sounds like your monster reads Frost." Crow: "Yeah, and he shoots it like icy death from his bloody stumps!"

InsensitiveSeaBass posted:I think first one I saw was Godzilla vs Megalon. You can blame Jet Jaguar for turning me into a Mistie. A friend of mine in college told me about this great show where a guy and some puppets made fun of movies, and it sounded great. I think the first episode I caught part of was the Beatniks, but it was also Godzilla vs Megalon that hooked me.

This is a pretty good top 20 (from the list included in Joel's email) 1. Manos: The Hands of Fate - (424) 2. Space Mutiny - (820) 3. Mitchell - (512) 4. The Final Sacrifice - (910) 5. Pod People - (303) 6. Puma Man - (903) 7. Santa Claus Conquers The Martians - (321) 8. Werewolf - (904) 9. Cave Dwellers - (301) 10. Time Chasers - (821) 11. Overdrawn At The Memory Bank - (822) 12. I Accuse My Parents - (507) 13. Eegah! - (506) 14. Gamera - (302) 15. Prince of Space - (816) 16. Hobgoblins - (907) 17. Laserblast - (706) 18. Soultaker - (1001) 19. Godzilla vs. Megalon - (212) 20. Jack Frost - (813) I'd swap out Teenagers From Outer Space for Laserblast, because otherwise the High Court may well sentence you to TORCHA!

"There's a promising young artist hopped up on goofballs." One of the great experiments, and as Pleasing Shape said, was REALLY hard to come by in the early days.

I remember a bit from the Amazing Colossal Episode Guide where they were really mad at the ending of that film. Who's dumber: the kid from Girl In Lovers Lane who isn't Big Stupid (who I think is named Danny), or James Wilson, essayist in I Accuse My Parents?

Rollersnake posted:This, "he's a Cabbage Patch Elvis," and "every frame of this movie looks like somebody's last-known photograph" in a three-way tie for the most perfect MST3K riff. "They're doing it clown-style!" is way up there for me. Both the circus shorts are pretty good but at least "Here Comes the Circus" doesn't have a gut-shot fawn as part of the program.

I kinda got a Pod People "He's the best" vibe out of the opening scene and I wonder if that was intentional. They could confirm this by using the term "idiot control now," I suppose.

PostNouveau posted:Oh man, Time Travelers has at least two straight-up stage magic tricks. The guy changing a circle ring into a square and Danny getting disappeared in a machine. I guess that's one way to pad the runtime. They also spend a lot of time detaching a damaged android head and attaching a new one in one take, which is a nice practical effect AND pads the film a bit. It's not a bad film, reminded me of This Island Earth in spots, and one of the process shots felt like it was from Forbidden Planet. Plus, Danny is so great he shows up in the next film!
