TheVileOne Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 There always seemed to be an ongoing plot with the original show. So...Jonah isn't dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 So, beyond the obviously titled "Santa Claus" and "Santa Claus versus the Martians," are there any Xmas-themed episodes in the original series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the plot of the host segments ever really mattered, and the MST3K Mantra means they can retcon practically anything. Jonah can return with fixed eyes, since he doesn't wear glasses anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 There are a bunch of Rifftrax on Amazon Prime. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 R.O.T.O.R., No Retreat, No Surrender, Manos, Miami Connection, Samurai Cop. There's also a Rifftrax Twitch channel that constantly cycles through B stuff (although most of it is the same stuff on Prime) Balloon Land is something everyone must experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireThunder Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 The Rifftrax Live versions of Birdemic and Manos are fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In totally jazzed. And it looks like they're coming to DC in October. I have a good feeling we're going which will be pretty cool. Speaking of the shows at Baltimore Comiccon last year one of the producers that's been with the show the whole time was at a table (name escapes me). They were selling autographed script books of Eegah! from the Baltimore show they did. He was so, so nice and had some fantastic stories to tell about the tour. Definitely a super-cool experience for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 And we now know most of the movies. Spoiler 12.1 - Mac & Me 12.2 - Atlantic Rim 12.3 - Lords of the Deep *no trailer* 12.4 - The Day Time Ended 12.5 - Unknown 12.6 - Ator (Prequel to Cave Dwellers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Damn shots fired at Rifftrax on ATOR! One of their best and it will be fun to compare since I've generally found Rifftrax to still be more dependable than the last season of MST3K was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I dunno. Atlantic Rim seems like a really week sauce choice. I'm very excited about Mac and Me though since the movie seems to be getting a lot of attention of late for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Both HDTGM and We Hate Movies have covered Mac & Me at this point. For MST3K to tear into seems just down right cruel! James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Not all the jokes land, but when they do, I quite like them. "Coke-eotomy" in Mac and Me was probably my favorite. Whoever was doing the impression of Graham Greene during Atlantic Rim really nailed it. Atlantic Rim is a big reason I don't understand the phenomenon around The Room. Low budget movies that are steaming festering turds and so awful they are comically awful are not that much of an anomaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 They got a bunch of good jokes, but they didn't quite correct the issues from last season, the two biggest being the voices aren't distinctive enough, and they go full throttle on the jokes, so some of them don't get enough room to breathe before they're onto the next one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantic Rim is a big reason I don't understand the phenomenon around The Room. Low budget movies that are steaming festering turds and so awful they are comically awful are not that much of an anomaly. I think for things like The Room and Birdemic there is the added element of earnestness. Atlantic Rim was made by a company that knows it is making cheap crap and a bunch of people who are phoning it in knowing they are in cheap crap. The Room and Birdemic have this added element of being auteur projects made by a maniac with a vision of some great breakthrough that will make them famous and who have a mixture of total badass audacity in their confidence and total inexperience and ineptness at every single aspect of crafting a story and filming it. They are also this even more unique thing where the film-makers are immigrants who have this naive swagger that they are going to show up in Hollywood, pour some money into a movie, and become big shot producers overnight but who seem to have a literal alien being's cluelessness about what a movie is supposed to look like or how other people see them or about what American culture looks like. The combination of a visionaries sense of self-confidence and a complete detachment from reality gives them extra charm beyond something like sharknado which is like machine manufactured crap designed by AI to capitalize on a ready-made market for crap. That said, the scene in ATLANTIC RIM where the entire scene is one guy telling his friends everything that we just saw happen in the previous scene like a nine-year-old was the funniest thing I've ever seen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 MAC & ME was a funny episode. I’m teaching MST3K in an intro to pop culture course next term, and that might have to be the episode we discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
