Relin posted:after seeing raw force on rlm i really wish they would do a rifftrax Friend got me that for Christmas one year based entirely on seeing the cover. He was right to do so because the movie is amazing. I would've suggested it as a good Rifftrax target, but there's probably too much nudity. Similarly, I'd love to see them do Kill Squad ("12 fists. 12 feet. 24 reasons to die."), but it's probably far too repetitive.

With the shorts-based RiffTrax Live and the site reaching its 300th short, I'm adding to a listicle I did of the 25 strangest RiffTrax shorts. For anyone who's been watching those regularly, what are some good bizarre shorts they've done in the last 3 years or so?

What are some good Halloween-themed riffs? I've seen Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare, Last Slumber Party, Ghosthouse, The Night Dracula Saved the World, Hillbillies in a Haunted House, Night of the Living Dead, House on Haunted Hill, Carnival of Souls, Silent Rage and Dark Power. I still need to watch the Puppet Master one and I guess When a Stranger Calls Back. Anything else I should have on my radar?

Last night I introduced the girlfriend to I Believe in Santa Claus. She got pissed at me for the scene of the ogre threatening to eat the puppy, then got mad again when they pointed out that there was no sign of the puppy during the escape and no indication that the ogre didn't eat the poor guy.

In the meantime, I updated the Guide to Holiday Riffing. HIGHLY suggest Gifts from the Air. It's probably the oddest old timey dancing toy cartoon they've watched yet.

I saw Jack Frost around the time it came out so I was both excited to watch the riff and a little apprehensive because it's the kind of schlock that is self-aware in its badness. But it turns out the movie is worse than I remember by failing to competently ape Freddy Krueger's style. Jack Frost's one-liners are the worst and the Rifftrax guys do a good job of jumping on that. The riff that absolutely killed me: *one guy starts vomiting out white gunk onto the street and dies* Mike: "Golden Corral's new slogan!" They also edit down the most infamous scene of the movie and toss in a riff a few seconds later that anyone mad about that is probably a pervert.

There's a great YouTube channel/series called Defunctland that's all about the history of defunct amusement park rides and, to a lesser extent, amusement parks. Stuff like Jaws, ExtraTERRORestrial, Superstar Limo, Captain EO, Action Park, etc. On the Facebook page, months back, I suggested the idea of doing an episode about Pirates World, including its relation to Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny. Today the season 2 trailer was released and I'm pumped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW1OzKvZE4c That is definitely some Pirates World footage in there.

muscles like this! posted:Let me just break down how The Curse of Bigfoot works. I finally watched this based on this post and I'm kind of disappointed. The structure of the movie is just as awful as you described, but it's so boring and unwatchable that you can't have enough fun with how stupid it all is. Like, if this was in any way enjoyable to sit through, this movie would be up there with Manos and the Room. It's kind of like RiffTrax's Monster A-Go-Go.

That movie is really one of the most perfect RiffTrax targets I've ever seen. I feel like there's three stages of batshit to it. It starts off as a stupid, cheap movie and you get used to the dumbness while gradually accepting the stupidity of Eric Roberts' terrible voice-over. Then about 2/5 into the movie, the cat starts actually talking and we're in a different tier of WTF. By the time you get used to THAT and the movie normalizes again (and Ms Boods is right, that bit with the two boys sort of works in comparison to the rest of the movie), we get the part where the cat gets hit by a car and things go completely off the rails. It reminds me a lot of those SNL skits where Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennnett would do low-energy parodies of 90's sitcoms and there would be a bunch of nonsensical establishing shots in-between scenes. Me and my fiancee watched the movie last night. Today, we were at a birthday party and somebody offered us cheese puffs. We looked at each other like when somebody in a movie realizes, oh no, it wasn't all a dream.

I decided to rewatch the first Rifftrax Live and, man, the extra stuff sure isn't missed. Random people in the audience lovingly singing along to Jonathan Coulton is still cringeworthy as hell.

I watched Future Zone and while I do think it's a decent concept for an action movie bogged down by... everything, the thing that gets me is how indecisive the plot is. Carradine's son makes it apparent that he learned how to be awesome with a gun from his father teaching him, only at the end we see that his time-travel mission is to prevent Carradine's death during a time when he's just finding out that his wife is pregnant. So his father died before he was even born. It's like that thing in Return of the Jedi where Leia talks about how she remembers her mother being sad, only that was a plot hole created from another movie.

She wanted to watch it and I said to wait because there's a strong chance it would be on Rifftrax this year. Maybe next they can do that movie where Wee Man plays a Christmas elf who becomes a superhero and fights Jeffrey Combs.

Canned Panda posted:I still think there's a decent movie hiding deep down somewhere in Manos. Yeah. Outside of the catfight bit, there's a good enough horror script that's hurt by really bad production and acting. Similarly, I think Pumaman is a fine superhero flick for the time where the main flaws are the costuming decisions, the special effects and that one really weird line about dinosaurs. A lot is said about Pumaman being worthless, but he does fine compared to most movie superheroes. It's more that they decided to merge Obi Wan Kenobi and Chewbacca into one character with the Aztec guy and the only time he's shown to be in any peril is during a brawl late in the movie. Even if Pumaman is the guy who saved him, he still looks like a novice in comparison.

Finally watched Spiker and the earlier comments in this thread were right. It's such a weird movie, partially because of how it's a pretty normal movie up to a point. For the first half, it isn't really all that bad. It's competently made, the acting is fine and it seems to be building towards a nice feel-good arc. Then the main character leaves the movie and it's like he took the rest of the script with him. The movie starts flailing around with plot lines and conflicts that don't go anywhere until it just... ends. It's kind of fascinating. It almost could have worked if Catch was shown to be disgusted and annoyed with the coach for constantly pushing Sonny around during the first half, but nope. He just goes from forgettable supporting character to main character out of nowhere.

Rirse posted:Is this one of the first specials with new shorts, since I tend to skip the shows where they do shorts since it usually the ones they did before like Shake Hands With Danger. I only recognized two reused shorts in there. The one with the cartoon birds talking about electricity safety from the Dr. Who Rifftrax Live and the one about the kid being attacked by his toys and clothes for not putting them away. Of the new stuff, the Cautious Twins is especially hosed up.
