8one6 posted:They filmed the entire season in two weeks so it appears they weren't able to do more than a couple of takes on the host segments. From watching outtakes of the original show, it's clear they could spend half a day just doing one shot because a prop didn't work or someone kept flubbing lines. The DVD for The Sidehackers has 20 minutes of host segment outtakes and half of them are just of the part with the Dr. F Slinky. I like how the device with the bubbles was used instead of forfeiting the single-camera/long take aspect of the show.

Somehow I'd skipped Beast of Hollow Mountain, so I went back to it today. Holy poo poo is that an insane movie. Like... I can't even understand how it happened. Although I must say that the dinosaur effects weren't that bad for the time, apparent budget, and general competence of the filmmakers.

What's bizarre is that the shots of the feet are live-action, yet you have this generic dollar store dino in wide shots. A guy in a suit would have probably been cheaper and more convincing for a change. At least the shots of the feet allowed them to invoke Earl Sinclair.

The Loves of Hercules: I thought after Reptilicus and Beast of Hollow Mountain I'd probably seen the worst monster effects this season had to offer, but uhhhh, how 'bout that hydra fight? The movie was hilarious, but I didn't feel like this was a particularly good episode for the riffing or the sketches, and it still feels like they can't figure out how to end a sketch at least 2/3 of the time. It was kind of amusing that over the course of the whole episode there were maybe two or three jokes that drew attention to the obvious regarding Jayne Mansfield. That must have taken an extraordinary amount of willpower.

Is just "Akton???" a good enough question? Like, asked in whatever inflection is most likely to prompt an explanation for Akton.

Pollyanna posted:Holy poo poo, Wizards 2 is garbage. I love how the first is bad, but at least its sorta watchable. If I was kid and it was on sunday afternoon, i'd watch the poo poo out of it. You know, the Christmas that Almost Didn't Happen feels like it could have ended with everyone storming Prune's house and beating him to death. It has that level of weirdness and disjointed feel to it. I am worried I won't be able to hear Kalan's voice on the Flop House without thinking "I'm a widdle baby!"

Wizards 2 is really bizarre because the comedy and a lot of the writing feels like it is out of a kids movie but then you have all the busty women wearing very little constantly running around.

In all honestly, I would love to know more about the writing/creative process in general. The Italian rip-offs like Starcrash, Pumaman, or Devil Fish are mind-boggling because they're always so nonsensical and there's never any indication as to why.

I think one of my favorite reoccurring jokes during host segments is when a new robot show up and Crow and Tom wreck it. Not just the Zord ones, but the one from Loves of Hercules and the Rolf Robot.

I'm surprised that At the Earth's Core isn't a Steampunk classic. It's got victorian suits and casual racism.

It's really cool to hear jokes about The Wire and They Might Be Giants and Fallout right along with jokes about The Beatles and old commercials. When Reptilicus popped up and someone riffed "Photobomb!" I knew that they were going to use contemporary references at the right time without losing some of the obscure, pop culture junkie reference the show always employed.

I'm sure there's some old nerds bitching about it, but it works so well. They'll never not do jokes about Nixon. I can't help but think the Mayhars are rebuilds of Gyros costumes. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Apr 30, 2017 |

Yeah, like it's not like they just overloaded everything with memes and MMO jokes. There were a ton of Pink Floyd jokes that explicitly referenced the movie version of The Wall that I noticed. I missed the Firesign Theater nod (and now I'm interested in which episode it was), but it's full of cult classic stuff like that. This revival is so loving good, I am going to be so happy if Netflix gives them a green light.
