Pete Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Mine was "Hey, it's Bella Abzug!" from Circus On Ice.

Ace Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Based on the trailer, two movies have been revealed. Reptilicus is the first episode. The other film shown in the trailer is Starcrash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Finally going in depth on the Paste article and the criminally low ranking of the Coleman Francis trilogy tempts me to say it robs the article of any shot at credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That threw me a little at first, but I realized he's incorporating the entertainment value of the movies themselves into his rating. The Coleman Francis oeuvre is fucking brutal even with M&TBs riffing away... now imagine having to watch them sans accompaniment. OTOH, take "The Magic Sword" at 29... it's actually a fine little movie in its own right, so while the jokes may not be top-shelf (SPOILER ALERT: they are), the relatively high quality of the movie proper contributes to the overall experiment value. You can disagree with his methodology all you like, but this dude is clearly showing his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I guess I'm the only person who finds those CF movies fascinating. I just keep poring over them, trying to figure out what is going on and, more importantly, just who the hell are these people? I also seem to be the only person in the world who understands the meaning of "Flag on the moon ... how did it get there?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Nice interview with Joel/Jonah from Vulture. Quote Will you steer clear of riffing on recent films?Hodgson: What I wanted to do with this series is try to create a certain tone again. That’s a hard one to answer, because I don’t want to give away too much about where we’re going. But I guess — Ray: Star Wars. Every single Star Wars. And because there’s only eight of ’em, we just repeat some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I remember seeing Starcrash in a 2nd run theatre when I was a kid. Two screener where all seats were a dollar. Few months ago, saw it was going to be on a cable channel so I sat down and watched. Not surprisingly not great. It's perfect fodder for MST3K indeed.

piranesi Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 The soundtrack to Starcrash is going to be my only jam for the next week. It is amazing while at the same time managing to sound like the score to any random episode of BANACEK. It's by John Barry who scored 14 Bond movies and won two Oscars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I suddenly think I've already posted about that movie ages ago, in this forum. Maybe even in this thread. Something something, memory shot, I really do get mad when kids are on my lawn. Anywhere, here's the movie (maybe for 2nd time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I was not a backer, but people who were are freaking out with joy after watching Reptilicus. So I guess we're in good hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I've only seen the first 10-15 minutes, and I'm sold. Spoiler The first 3 minutes is exposition on how Jonah ends up captured by Kinga and co. The exposition is provided by Wil Wheaton and Erin Gray. There's an attempt at an Invention Exchange! "It is I! Her Red Right Hand,,, TV's Son of TV's Frank!" "Nobody calls him that! Just call him Max!" Moon 13 has a band! And Patton uses it for bumpers to go into non-existent commercials! I've yet to see Kinga move at her own power. Probably trying to disguise Felicia Day's pregnancy. Lotsa excuses for musical bits! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Dunno what your rageboner for Jonah is, but he's quite good. He comes off kinda like Mike, but more upbeat. On a separate note, all the bumper music that Patton does voiceovers for are instrumentals of old MST3K songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I have disliked him back to when i gave up on the nerdist pod. Saying he is like Mike doesnt help me much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I'll give Jonah Ray a shot, though the one episode of the James Bonding Podcast he did... let's just say he was the least of the guests they had on. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because we're not used to their voices yet. It's about the same as when people can't tell the difference between Travis and Justin McElroy on My Brother My Brother and Me. Right away, probably not, in a few episodes, I bet we'll be able to get it sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 It's going to be weird if Tom Servo isn't still the one with musical training and a sense of intellectual superiority and Crow isn't still the whimsical undisciplined visionary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
