I actually forgot all about this, but at one point a tabletop RPG magazine had a cover article about MST3K.



Those riffs were actually by the MST crew.

So was there an MST3K card game we never heard about?

No, it was just an article about the show and the FAQ that was circulating at the time.

This post is coming to you LIVE from San Francisco International Airport. I'll keep an eye out for Davey and all the gang, but in the meantime, I'm off to buy some diet gum.

(Plane was delayed due to problems with the cargo hatch and not, disappointingly, a mushy nose wheel).

How brown is the real airport?

Girl in Lover's Lane (it's been a long time since I've seen it, as I recall it's incredibly dark)
It ends with everyone about to turn their lives around and have a happy ending, then the titular girl get killed out of nowhere for no reason.

Yeah, that ending is really out of place and just gross.

A lot of the 50s morality movies are pretty bleak because they usually end with someone dying from their criminal ways, like The Violent Years or Teen Age Crime Wave. I Accuse My Parents avoids it just because of how rock stupid Jimmy is.

I remember this coming up in the last thread; I don't remember who it was who said it, but it's because of the Hays Code. Back then, evil acts had to be punished, but heroes couldn't be the one doing the punishing. It's why so many movie villains die via falling to their deaths instead of being directly killed by the main character.

These two girls, they make quite a pair.
They both come from your worst night-mare.
They will haunt your soul forever,
And now,
When you see pink,
You're gonna think,
"We're doomed".
They are agents of Satan...

Okay, stop it...

"A Date With Your Family." They give the whitebread '50s family ideal everything it deserves.

"Dad, I'm dating a Negro."
"I'm moving to Fire Island, dear."
"Emotions are for ethnic people."
This is my favorite, too. Mike's delivery of "their stomachs knotted like fists" cracks me up every time.

I wonder if the revival will have any shorts. They seemed to peter out on them by the end, I can only recall three from the later seasons. The shorts were mainly meant to pad episodes with shorter movies right?

More or less. A lot of the movies they did early on were only an hour long or so.

I love that one, because it feels more the narrator made the movie for his family to explain to them how they should act in a very passive aggressive way. It's just weird.

The narrator was Hugh Beaumont, aka Beaver's dad.

I definitely remember when reading about the beginnings of modern pornography, all the movies were coming from Scandinavia and all had titles that were totally innocuous at first glance but were then laughably obvious once you knew what the movie was. Things that would translate to, "secrets to a happy marriage" which would just be hardcore sex and other such silliness. Lots of the movies that would be called 'naturalist' were from the continental Europe, like you said, mostly France and Italy. Though, before WWII, tons came from Germany, as they were, on a national level, in love with nudism and naturalism. Unfortunately, that was one of the first things to be outlawed in the run up to the war.

On one of the 42ns Street blu-rays-full-of-trailers, on the commentary they talk about how you could show the "naturalist" stuff or movies that included footage of naked (ethnic) women back in the 70's, and get away with it because you presented them as "educational".

Hell, earlier than that it seems like you could put a trailer for a movie that was straight-up softcore porn or a torture flick before any movie.

I'll never get over that kid having an AT-AT but his favorite toy was that cymbal monkey.
Sure- there's probably some demonic connection there but grampa Borgnine just doesn't make that clear.
It was probably explained in the movie "The Devil's Gift", which the director cannibalized to make the second part of Merlin.

(and in the uncut version, Colman Francis rapes the man's blind daughter)
That's also Coleman raping and killing the woman in the opening of Beast of Yucca Flats, which has nothing to do with the rest of the movie.

I wish I could remember who said it, but my favorite Coleman Francis quote is "Coleman made films like other people cut themselves".

fake edit: also all three of his movies end with people getting gunned down.

I figure there might be enough overlap to share this here

So the Achievement Hunter branch of Rooster Teeth, led by the ever orange Geoff Ramsey, will be doing their own MST3K inspired series starting the 29th!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udo2IQXsGV8

They plan to go without scripts and do it very free style, as befitting their comedy style, so we'll see how it turns out! I think it should be a worthy addition to the riffing family, and I can't wait to see what all they rip on.
Why do they have the close-ups of the couch? They're not doing anything except sitting there.

e: I know it's because "streamers", but come on.

I'm still miffed that the scene of the German guy getting zapped by Brack was cut for the film. Exploding German riffs write themselves.
Speaking of which, why in god's name was the Movie only 75 minutes? That's barely an episode! It's actually shorter than This Island Earth!

Yeah, Jonah did a really good job and played great off Joel.

The most :3: thing was when Joel and Jonah first came out, and you could tell that Jonah was trying to kind of fade to the side so Joel could receive all the applause and Joel kept pulling Jonah back over next to him so they were both getting the focus.
