They're Roger Corman movies (from his company at least), apparently spinoffs of Deathstalker, so Shout should have the rights to them.

We hope you're up for reading a 47,000 word ranking of every MST3k episode ever, because that's what this monster is. We've got movie sign!

They got the literal wrong riff for another movie. Sue's Vietnam flashback was in Monster a Go Go, not whatever movie he listed it for.

I don't remember that many bad jokes about Asians in Joel's era

As in I can't think of any. Early on in the Gamera films they would make fun of silly sounding Asian names, but that was just building up to "Do you think Japanese people make fun of stupid American names?" "Oh certainly."

Imagine it as the Fast and the Furious 1950's and it is better.

Also I watched the press conference and it was great. I like Tom Servo and Crow. Although if you read the rolling chat at the bottom of the video one guy keeps saying "I HATE THE NEW VOICES" "THEY ARE KILLING MST3K" every now and then. It's kinda funny actually.

Something I thought was kind of weird was how it looks like the opening has Mary Jo in it but she doesn't show up in the first episode.

Are all episodes like episode one, where they riff nonstop? It's driving me insane.

Nerdist posted:

“[We were doing] two movies a day,” recollects Yount, who voices Crow T. Robot in the renewed series. “Two a day, but you’re not watching it at movie speed, you’re watching it at production speed, which is like a 14-hour day.” Recording it this way allowed the actors, writers, and creator/director Joel Hodgson the ability to perfect each and every joke until it was absolutely perfect. “You’re watching the ten-minute section over and over,” Yount continued, “slowing it down and trying to just break every comedic beat.”

[...]

Following the recording of the actual riffs, Jonah and the puppeteers headed into the silhouette stage for a week of acting out visual gags and movements along with the already-synced audio jokes.

Anybody else remember a gag where somebody had to run through the doors with Cambot into the theater? This has been driving me up the wall.

Evil Mastermind posted:

Soultaker, I think? That was the one where the ship was malfunctioning and Mike had to force the door to the theater open.

ComposerGuy posted:

Absolutely. I think the mads new lair is basically set up like a late night show.

They've got a house band, the opening is big an elaborate, and Patton/Max does an Andy Richter over the commercial bumpers.

Evil Mastermind posted:

Yup. So far I've heard the Wild Rebels theme, Creepy Girl, the Canada song, and The United Servo Men's Chorus music.

I hope they get another ten seasons out of this. It's already amazing, think of what they can do if they get more practice and more time.

Ok, I can't watch this anymore, Crow just pronounced GIF the incorrect way.

I'm definitely seeing an overreliance on using movie sign to abruptly end host segments. That was absolutely a thing in the earlier seasons, but it never seemed like the norm. It kinda feels like they can't figure out how to properly end a skit now.

EatinCake posted:

Anyone know they filmed these in the episode order? A lot of the critiques so far have revolved around Reptilicius being the weakest, and them finding their voice & timing later on,

but maybe it's just that the viewer adjusts to this rhythm for the show by episode two, or that the viewer gets more accustomed to the new voices.

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?

Jonah Ray: Yeah, it’s funny because when we started doing the episodes, I got to this one I really wanted to dub. And I was like, “Joel, we should make this the first episode. This is such a solid episode.” Then Joel, in his shaman-like way, was like, “No, man, you gotta start them off easy, then you progressively get better and better.” And I was like, “Oh okay. I don’t know if viewers work that way anymore, that you’ve got to wow them right off the bat.” But he is wise in his comedic timing, so I do think that we did get exponentially better the more we did it. “Reptilicus” was the first one we wrote and it was the first one we recorded. So we were still trying to find our rhythm, find the voices and get used to it, and also just kind of get over the mind trip of doing it at all. It was overwhelming to just be in that position of like, “Oh, wow, we’re actually doing this. We’re actually doing this. This is crazy,” that we’re getting to make “Mystery Science Theater.” I think there is a bit of that, which I hope people find charming, the way I found early episodes of “MST” charming, but they weren’t perfect. I do think that “Cry Wilderness” is such a great movie, and there’s this Korean monster movie, “Yongary,” which is basically Godzilla with a horn on its nose. When they sent us that one, the completed episode of “Yongary,” I saw it and went, “Oh man, this should be the first episode.” But hopefully people will stick with it and enjoy it as we get better at it and everyone’s more comfortable with the positions.

I once read that they hated that gag, regretted doing it and felt it broke the rules of the show.

Mike Nelson posted:

We were still experimenting with the movie comments and we look back with embarrassment at two particular gags. One involved Joel covering the mouth of a woman singing and the singing being muted. The other, even more shameful, was adding the sound of men, ahem, urinating when there was a shot of them with their backs turned. Both broke the rules of the show, and both were really quite stupid. We're really very sorry.

MST3K Revival League Podcast posted:

[Greg - Host] Our fan question comes from Leanne, and she asks: "Were the episodes shot in order? I ask because the chemistry amongst the riffers seems so great right out the gate from Episode 1101."

[Jonah] Yeah. Reptilicus was the first one we wrote, recorded, and shot, and they're in order from there. It was extremely brutal doing Wizards 1 & 2 in a row. I remember going to Joel like "You gotta space these out! You have to space these out!"

[Ryan - Host] That's the riffing, right? Because you shot the host segments in whatever order was most amenable to the schedule, right?

[Jonah] Yeah, the host segments themselves were all very much, you know, shot like as much in order as they can, but it was pretty scattershot - something new every time we started. That was just another aspect of shooting as much as we did in the amount of time that we did. But yeah, for the riffs themselves, very much in order of what we did, and I mean everything was written in that order as well. I remember even - when, uh, I think we were doing Beast of Hollow Mountain or Yongary, and I was telling Joel, "Hey, I think we should put this one first," and he's like "You can't do that. You can't just pop another one first. People are gonna watch and it's gonna be really good and then it's not gonna be as good the next one. You want to slide people into it." And I remember going "I don't know about that. In this age of instant reviews and stuff like that." But he was right. He was right, people really kind of loved the fact that they could feel it get better.

I'm pretty sure that the stock footage fights from Wizards of the Lost Kingdom 2 are from another Carradine movie called the Warrior and the Sorceress which is a giant piece of poo poo.

It's a cheeky way to say they made major cuts to the film for the purposes of fitting it into the timeslot.

It's probably been over a decade since I watched it, but wasn't From Dusk Till Dawn like this (if it wasn't revealed in the trailer, trailers back then were even worse than today at spoiling movies)? Standard action/hostage movie, and then suddenly vampires? I remember reading a review that mentioned this, but I don't remember how long into the movie it was.

Manofmanusernames posted:

So is Jonah gonna be the host for next season? Cause it seems kinda weird on how they seemingly killed him off at the end.

And then there's this bit on carvival Magic:


Are they hinting at next season's host? Is it going to be one of those things where there's a new host every season?
