I'm pretty sure the 90's Gamera trilogy and Gamera the Brave are already what the 60's movies were trying to be.

I love Gamera the Brave because it takes the "Gamera is a friend to all children" theme of the original series straight to its logical conclusion: Gamera as E.T.

Fantastic movies, that would still be riffable.

My own Turkey Day Gauntlet has become a triple-header: Santa Clause vs. meets the Ice Cream Bunny. Star Wars Holiday Special. Fun in Balloon Land.

The 90's Gamera flicks (or the Hesei-era Godzilla stuff) would be neat, watching them do monster flicks with some craft to them.

I'm seeing the late show in Minneapolis tomorrow night and I don't know whether the movie is either Deathstalker or Deathstalker II

I see conflicting answers on the official site... does anyone know which one it is?

It's Deathstalker II.

Basically they announced it as Deathstalker, then Joel actually watched the movie and they announced they were switching to II.

I'm actually kind of excited, since I watched Deathstalker on Amazon one night, totally randomly.. I was sort of wondering how they'd deal with all those scenes!

Yeah, I'm agreeing here. Deathstalker is Grade A poo poo, but not for something like MST3K. 2 is a better tonal fit

My wife and I have plans most of the day tomorrow, so we decided to run our own Turkey Day today, with each of us choosing three movies.

Her:
Fire Maidens of Outer Space
Space Mutiny
Time Chasers

Me:
Fugitive Alien
Alien from L.A.
The Deadly Bees

Mostly episodes we already love, but she's never seen Fire Maidens of Outer Space, and I don't have any recollection of The Deadly Bees even existing, despite watching the show religiously during its original run from seasons 3-10.

Also the sketch with Mike and Crow as the Skull and he's just monotone screaming... oh, that is beyond a delight.

I think The Deadly Bees is a bit of a gem. Speaking of insect-based movies, Cinematic Titanic did The Wasp Woman and it's pretty great.

Yep, when you think shocking horror, you think German oom-pah band music!

(The one thing that kills The Deadly Bees for me is when I've got an MST3K playlist on as white noise and the high-pitched keening to control the bees happens later in the movie.)

:supaburn: WHERE'S DESMOND???

The game show gimmick for the host segments ran a little thin at times, but apart from that, a delightful show, start to finish. BANG!

We stuck around for Deathstalker II, and the only thing I can nitpick there is the audio mix: the movie was up just a little too high which sometimes made it impossible to hear the riffs during noisy fight scenes and such. Still a hell of a fun show.

Can't wait to see what they do with Donna St. Phibes in Season 12!

I really hope they do that as an episode in a future season, it was a perfect movie for MST3K. The return of the “BANG!” running joke had the audience in hysterics when I saw it.

Yeah, The Brain was really too good to not end up an episode.

Still hoping for black & white films, made for TV films/failed series pilots, and shorts to return to the MST3K repertoire at some point.

I think Joel mentioned at one point that they're trying to stick with content that was filmed in widescreen, so that does automatically rule out a lot of stuff. Shorts and older TV shows/movies for sure.

The "different style" riff they did in Deathstalker was cute, but didn't feel like mst3k to me. Also Rebecca Hanson was hilarious and I hope there's a lot more of her in season 12.
