Y-Hat posted:I'm watching the Mitchell episode on their official YouTube channel. Is there a way to turn off the annotations? There should be a "Settings" cog. Click on that and there should be an option to turn off annotations. I can't say it will apply to this case but in general it should work.

BooDoug187 posted:Could go the rifftrax method of doing really loud and long bleeps, making a simple cuss seem more graphic. Did they ever do that in a regular MST3k? Want to say they did. Also, for the record I don't want them to go 'blue' I was just curious if they would considering the venue and writers. I think MST3k being a show that the whole family could enjoy is what helped it. Though I still wouldn't say 'dickweed' in front of my mother.

FilthyImp posted:Monster A Go-Go is so terribly, legitimately bad that I think they could have ended the experiment right there. It's unwatchable with the crew making fun of it as it is. This is one of my favorite Joel Eps. "Brrrnnng" "There was no monster" I would riot if I saw this in the theater back in the day but as an MST3k it's great. Also, "Joel...the Pina Colada song?"

Ensign_Ricky posted:Hey I like Ortega. Sever. I feel like Giant Spider Invasion is a good intro. It's a B-movie but also has Alan Hale. Everyone knows Skipper! I think it helps to know who you're exposing to the show. Some might love classic b-movies like Revenge of the Creature or Monster A-GoGo. But I think some might also respond to the 70's movies like Riding With Death or Codename:Diamondhead (Lovejoy!). Some of my personal favorites are Night of the Blood Beast and Incredible Melting Man. RoyKeen fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Jul 24, 2016 |

Maybe they're saving it for episode 2 or 3. Jonah finds it buried somewhere. Tom has no clue what it means. Or best Kevin and Bill are Tom and Crow for the beginning of episode one and it has to change over to Baron and Hampton for some reason.

Calaveron posted:I imagine getting a letter asking you if it'd be alright to mst3k your movie must've been a lot like getting a phone call from Weird Al asking if he could parody your movie I suppose but Weird Al parodies everyone. If Weird Al covers one of your songs it's not because they're bad. Besides Michael Jackson's "Bad". MST3k on the other hand goes for movies that are, as the song goes, "cheesy" and "the worst [they] can find". That said, I think most people know when they have a bad movie on their hands and would be fine with being riffed. Except for Joe Don Baker. It exposes them to a much bigger audience than they could ever hope for and I know I don't really judge the people for making a bad movie.

I just hope they do shorts. Didn't they kinda wane in the latter seasons? They don't have to worry too much about running time while on Netflix so I hope they have some in the new version.

Command Ant posted:If they do shorts, I hope they dip into the deep well that is 80s anti-drug shorts. Granted, they're usually longer than the 10-minute shorts from the 50s that they usually used, but they'd definitely be a goldmine for the show. I'd be happy with a 3 or 4 short episode but that's asking a lot. I know they've done 2 shorts and a movie. There's just something so ridiculous but earnest about a lot of shorts.

Franchescanado posted:Is there any word on if it'll be one major dump of episodes, or if they're going to do the Chelsea Lately thing and put out an episode a week for 14 weeks? I dunno why but I feel like once a week is better. Maybe it's the length of eps. Or maybe that (based on previous MST3ks) the 'storyline' isn't that important. I can see feeling the need or want to go straight into another "Orange..." or "House of Cards" or whatever. MST3k rarely ever had any cliffhangers or pressing need to go from one episode to another. I mean, later on they kinda did but it wasn't Breaking Bad levels of, "I need to now what's next!"

Gaz-L posted:If I had to pick one Rifftrax one to be tackled by Jonah and the bots, it'd probably be One Got Fat, because jesus... I think it'd be a little weird for MST3k to tackle shorts/movies that Rifftrax did (and that goes for the other way around). That said some movies/shorts are so "classic" and notorious that they go beyond one show and become open fodder for everyone. "One Got Fat" definitely fits in that category.

muscles like this? posted:Rifftrax actually has gone back and done multiple things that were from MST3K. Cinematic Titanic also redid that horrible Santa Claus and the Martians movie.

Burkion posted:One Got Fat is a national treasure of riffability and deserves to be on MST3K Agreed. What other shorts/movies count? Plan 9? Birdemic? I think the new MST3k will stay away from movies that were already done. At least for the first season or two. What would work would be a classic reriffed for a Thanksgiving release or as an extra in some way but not in season. I think Joel would really want to get the new MST3k on a solid footing before going to something that has been done. And to be fair the new MST3k doesn't have to do that where as with Rifftrax it may have been a smart move to try to recapture old fans with previous riffs. I feel like that was a runonsentance. Edit: Shake Hands with Danger? I'm surprised there hasn't been a "welcome to the internet!" type short from the early 90s. Didn't Jennifer Aniston do a Microsoft one?

Evil Mastermind posted:In the Episode Guide, I think this was the movie they admitted was the first one where they made a conscious decision to have all the skits not be about the movie, since there wasn't anything in the movie to base skit on in the first place. I can't remember what movie that was from. Monster A Go Go? Fire Maidens? I know I've seen it recently. It reminds me of when Mike went to get popcorn in "...Batwoman" E: It was Monsters A Go Go. Speaking of skits I just remembered Timmy from Fire Maidens. I just know that had an unpainted Crow and was like "He looks evil, let's use that."

TVs Ian posted:My favorite thing about One Got Fat is I actually watched it on a field trip back in the 80s. There was a park that had a "Safety Town" - a kid-sized town (with driveable cars!) where they'd teach you how to cross streets and bike and drive safely. When my class went, it was raining pretty heavily. So all the outdoor stuff was cancelled, and we sat inside and watched that short. The short "Alcohol Trigger Films" was set in various spots near where I used to live. I was kinda weird recognizing all the spots. Some are still there.

If i remember right they randomly kill him off and you only hear about it through a background radio news report. I want to say it was a dune buggy crash or something. Maybe there was a scene cut from the MST3k version. Edit: Yeah, it's on the car radio when Mitchell pulls up right before the scene where he freaks out on the kid. It's barely noticeable.

TVs Ian posted:There was a scene that was cut. Yeah. I just watched it. It's actually not that bad of a scene though it does go on too long. Essentially they try to kill Michell by running over him with some dune buggies. One of the cars gets stuck and the driver gets out and Mitchell smashes him in the face with a rock. It's fairly brutal. I can see removing it though. It's long it's mostly Mitchell dodging the buggies. It would have been hard to riff on.

I think they needed the excuse that Tripolydine was the cause of any explosions/fire. Any evidence of arson would raise a red flag. But if they find out Tripolydine is unstable and explodes easily then it could just be assumed it was a tragic mistake. Though in retrospect, if Tripolydine is unstable then it's pretty useless as a fuel additive. Was the plan then? I can't remember. Insurance fraud? How would he collect if he's supposedly dead? All I remember is "$10 million dollars, Luther. 10 mil." E:VVV Oh yeah. Now it's coming back to me. RoyKeen fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Aug 10, 2016 |

Evil Mastermind posted:I hadn't seen this mentioned: Trace and Frank have started a movie podcast called Movie Sign With The Mads. They're only five episodes in but it's been really good so far. It's not really a "bad movie" podcast as much as they pick a movie, then talk about it, its genre, and related films. I think someone mentioned it before earlier in this thread or another but there's no harm in bringing it up again. I'm just diving into their talk about the Warriors and it's pretty good so far. I was a little turned off by Trace being on a phone line but they all deal with it pretty well.
