Finally got around to watching Samurai Cop and that... sure was a thing. I want an entire prequel movie about the police chief and his hatred of everything.

The editing in Samurai Cop is BAFFLING. It's the kind of thing that people who are intentionally trying to make a bad movie never even attempt.

E: The Last Slumberparty is a modern masterpiece on the level of DOOM HOUSE and Garth Marenghi's Dark Place.

Also the most casually homophobic movie I've ever seen. They're just dropping F-bombs left and right for no reason.

The Prime selection shifts every couple of months, I’ve been able to watch a whole bunch over the course of sick days and long weekends.

I watched The Psychotronic Man on Sunday and the “trying to start the wakka-chikka machine” gag might be the hardest I’ve ever laughed at a Rifftrax.

The Christmas Circus special that they added to Amazon is loving insane. 60s children’s television is so strange and upsetting.

Is it Christmas Circus with Whizzo the Clown? Or something new?

If it's the former the only acid-tripper 60s children movie is Fun in Balloonland.

With Whizzo and the child with the concerning wet cough, yeah.

If you haven't seen it, Samurai Cop is also excellent trash from this genre. I've seen it riffed and unriffed and enjoyed both.

Samurai Cop has the funniest editing I've ever seen.

The Apple was just... wow.

I love when filmmakers are like “this is my grand vision statement piece” and then they produce something as tonally wild and muddled as The Apple.

It also somehow manages to be insanely camp and homophobic at the same time, which was very surprising.

Tubi just updated its Rifftrax selection and I have to say, Attack of the Super Monsters is a delight. I’ve felt like dogshit the whole day and seeing a bunch of puppet dinosaurs melodramatically flail around brought me a lot of much needed laughs.

That's exactly what Scott Shaw does, though; he pretentiously calls it "zen filmmaking" and is under the impression that it makes for High Art. If you check out trailers for some of his other films like The Roller-Blade Seven/Return of the Roller-Blade Seven you'll see dialogue he seems so inordinately proud of, like (paraphrasing from memory):

"My sister... who became... your sister?"
"Yes, our sister's sister." (or maybe "sister-sister" who knows, it was all filmed with ambient sound of course)

There's like, maybe one line that could get a chuckle in an entire movie (someone mentioned "For entertainment purposes only!", and Rollergator had "hosing down the clowns"). But most of the time it's just bad amateur improv.

Since so many of them involve Donald Jackson they also get a lot of mileage recycling the costumes/prosthetics from Hell Comes to Frogtown.

Oh man, digging further into this Shaw/Jackson connection, it is very clear that he has written all of his own Wikpedia entries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Shaw

I revisited Cobra not too long ago and forgot about the bit where Marion 'Cobra' Cobretti takes an already cut slice of pizza and then snips part of it off with scissors - that I really do hope are just for his pizza, his pizza scissors - and eats that part. "This, uh, makes him kinda, y'know, quirky."

I can’t remember if this is before or after he pulls his gun cleaning kit out of an egg carton in the fridge.
