Ballz posted:I think I'd probably give the episode a grade of a solid "B" overall. The intro definitely felt too forced/long and while I do like Tom's and Crow's new voices they do sound a lot more similar than I was expecting, which sometimes made it hard to know who was delivering the riff in the theater. The convoluted way they now control the puppets seemed to give problems with Crow and Gypsy's mouth movements in particular -- they weren't as synched/pronounced as they were in the original series. I agree with most of this; it definitely felt like a solid "B" for me overall. The intro overstayed it's welcome quite a bit, and personally I was hoping to get a little more time with the Mads to get used to them. I was honestly not really digging things until the movie itself went off the rails, and that first host segment really sold me on the new season. It was definitely promising though, and I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the season to see if some of the kinks get ironed out.

The Ape of Naples posted:I didn't see the episode yet (too poor to back) but I'm wondering if the fact that the show can be binged played at all into how it was shot/directed (water the right term is). Maybe they figure people will get enough of the Mads over a few episodes? I dunno. Just spitballing. It will make a little more sense once you see it, but it just felt like the scenes with the Mads were a bit shorter than they could have been, at least compared to some of the older episodes. It made it hard for me to get a really good feel for their characters.

Ensign_Ricky posted:Yeah, the first one's "hero" at least has the benefit of being the same age as the princess, as opposed to Troxartus being a creeper. I thought the first "hero" was ok. Bland and kind of dumb, but not too terribly irritating. The second kid was just miserable though. Not only was he irritating every time he had to speak, his constant "hot for teacher" gimmick was super creepy.

Gaspy Conana posted:The opinion that Reptilicus is weak and the season picks up after episode 2 or 3 is likely just an acclimation issue more than anything. It's like spinning a new album for the first time and then warming up to it over repeated listens. I imagine the same would be said for any episode if it were the first. Reptilicus does have some legitimate issues though. The setup overstays its welcome, and personally I felt the movie itself made things drag until the titular monster showed up. Once you had the monster (and the monster rap) though it got much better.

rydiafan posted:It's possible some explanation was cut from the episode. I'm assuming they still edit these movies down for MST3K, because the episodes are only 90 minutes, including skits, commercial breaks, and opening/closing credits. Having watched Starcrash on its own prior to MST3K, I can safely say that no, there really isn't an explanation mentioned in the movie. Star Wars had a magic guy, so obviously they had to have one too.

I do mention "two pints of oysters and the new vegetable" a lot while grocery shopping--it's from the short about being a homemaker and the perils of letting the husband buy groceries. I remember that "two pints of oysters" short from Rifftrax; it was where I finally learned about products that weren't Grade A.

Winters Holy Hand posted:Live tour announced. Tickets go on sale this Friday. Two shows in most cities. One previously riffed film and one secret film. This was in the Kickstarter update about the tour: quote:Now, I know that some of you might rather we just get started on Season 12, but the truth is, there's nothing we can do to get started on more episodes yet. We don't have an official order for Season 12 yet, though we're very hopeful that it will come – especially if we all keep watching the new episodes on Netflix. But I promise, as soon as we hear anything about the next season, I'll be sure to tell you right away.

moist turtleneck posted:I'm still confused why they made reptilicus the first movie. It's so weak compared to the next few and I turned it off the first time after 15 minutes because the riffs were so bad and so rapid fire Joel's take: quote:Why did you go with the Danish monster movie Reptilicus right out of the gate? From Jonah: quote:ComingSoon.net: So I saw the “Reptilicus” premiere episode and then the “Cry Wilderness” episode. When I talked to Joel he was very insistent, “I want to stress there’s a big uptick in quality from the first episode to the other ones.” And I felt it. The “Cry Wilderness” episode felt like it was stronger, faster, funnier. Can you talk a little bit about the leap from the pilot to the rest of the episodes?

Not sure; I've also got the Mystery Gift addon sitting on my rewards page, but it wasn't included in any shipments so far. I emailed them on the 9th asking when those would ship, but haven't heard back from them.

Nemo2342 posted:Not sure; I've also got the Mystery Gift addon sitting on my rewards page, but it wasn't included in any shipments so far. I emailed them on the 9th asking when those would ship, but haven't heard back from them. I got a response today (from Ivan), and it's not good. The TL;DR is that they didn't realize you could add on Mystery Gifts through Backerkit until people started asking where theirs was, and thus didn't order enough of them to actually fulfill the orders. They're currently trying to figure out what they can do; they spent the most of money on Season 11 and so they can't offer cash refunds. Their options are 1) see if they can order more gifts (which if possible won't be until next Spring), 2) letting you swap out for items of equal or greater value, or 3) finding some to-be-determined alternative. The email does close with this though: "In the meantime, we’re sorry (again) for this mixup, and we’re so grateful for your patience — we hope you enjoyed the other rewards you received, and are still enjoying Season 11. We’re hoping to have more news about Season 12 very soon, so stay tuned." (bolding mine).

They sent out an official email to everyone who added the mystery gift (which is the same thing they sent me as a reply) so here it is:quote:Dearest MST3K Add-On Backer, business hammocks posted:It would be a great deal if they gave you better stuff instead. The blurays cost as much as the funko thing. I took the Blu-rays instead of the mystery gift originally, which is how I ended up in this situation. I agree though; I'm definitely curious to see what options they come up with that aren't the funko pop, since those aren't really something I collect.

Ballz posted:They totally tricked me out when Joel said “are we forgetting something...?” And I thought they were gonna drop a season 12 announcement. All the live segments so far have been kind of a nudge-nudge "wasn't season 11 so great guys?" which really feels like they're building up to an announcement. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

Bobbin Threadbare posted:The beginnings and endings theme continues, I see. To continue with the theme, the last episode will either be The Thing that Couldn't Die (first ep with Bobo and Brain Guy), Diabolik (last Mike episode), or Reptilicus (first Jonah episode). Personally, I'm banking on Reptilicus. If you're trying to promote the new season, you want to show something with the new star/host/victim.
