I remember the crew talking bout how they kind of felt bad riffing it after the Time Chaser people sent them their movie, but this makes up for it some. They could have easily gone harder on them and with no earned guilt on their part if they had wanted to.

I've updated my guide to holiday-based RiffTrax movies and shorts. The new Snowman cartoon they just released is absolutely worth your dollar.

I watched Fun in Balloon Land last night and I'd completely forgotten the ratio of balloon adventure to parade footage. I kept thinking there was more wandering around in weird, echoing warehouses, but no. Right to the parade footage! Yay, yay!

The stuff they edited out of It's a Wonderful Life was stuff that wasn't technically in public domain, I guess. https://www.rifftrax.com/its-a-wonderful-lifequote:As some of you know, It’s a Wonderful Life was in the public domain for decades, then back out again — it’s a complicated history. The main copyrighted stuff comes down to 1) material from the short story "The Greatest Gift" that part of the film was based on, and 2) some musical rights for background songs.

Yeah but the extended bicycle chase that wasn't in the MST3K episode is incredible. I remember getting that and Space Mutiny on a DVD set and being baffled they couldn't work the bike chase into the episode. It's so good.

I'll add this to the list that includes the "naked Mario Lopez sex scene" excised from The Journey: Absolution. And no, I do not care that the scene contains a naked Jamie Pressly.

Action Jacktion posted:What was missing? The entire sequence where the angel shows him what the world would be like if he didn't exist. So George rescues the angel, angel says, "I'm your angel," and George is skeptical...cut to George running down the street MERRY CHRISTMAS MOVIE HOUSE. It kinda reads like he went "My life could be worse, I could be a delusional homeless man who thinks he's an angel."

Kind of funny that they had to cut out the one thing most people remember from the movie. Although really that entire sequence just goes on for so long and just belabors the point. Also it just goes over the top with some of the changes like Uncle Billy in the asylum or Mary ending up alone.

It really is odd not having that part of the film, but the riff was fine.

Like you want to keep everything in Bob Evil's I'm sure you could find the time but it's a perfect episode so it's better they didn't. I can just imagine the meeting where they figured out what to cut and how agonizing it was to take out the bike chase. Might have caused a fist fight.

So the monkey story apparently has a much darker end where everyone dies but I'm not sure if that made it into the Merlin version.

I watched It’s A Wonderful Life then watched the half of the Riff version I didn’t manage to earlier due to being busy. In that context for me the cut itself was hilarious. I guess god realized direct payment really does solve most problems! I am actually surprised how much stuff is still in the film. There were some other minor cuts but it pretty much is one act. Albeit the most pivotal one.

I second "Home of the Future" and "Prom - it's a Pleasure" but other solid shorts are "Oh Boy, Babies!", "The Maturing Woman," and "The Babysitter"

Their holiday collections are some of my favorites. And if you haven't seen them, I recommend Conor and Sean's two shorts: Bicycle Safety School and the Kids Guide to the Internet.

'Rescue Me' is a good full-length flick riff. They have a lot of fun with it being very 90's and starring a young Stephen Dorff.
