The director of Merlin also directed Deadly Instincts, which is a Bridget and Mary Jo riff. It was also known as Breeders, which I remember from my time at Blockbuster, because the slipsleeve was embossed with the monster on it

Just watched "Fun in Balloonland". I was not expecting 45 minutes of parade footage. Loved the generic balloon floats. They were so generic that they had to have people carrying signs in front of them explaining what the balloon was supposed to be. Also watched Bridgit and Mary Jo's riff of "Angel's Revenge". Man, MST3K cut a lot out of that, including a montage scene!

By popular demand posted:Dumb Watson is like the easiest trap a writer can fall into and it's played for the cheapest of laughs in all those Basil Rathbone films. Michael Williams (and later Andrew Sachs) was a great Watson to Clive Merrison's Holmes in the BBC radio series. Richard Earl is another great Watson, in Big Finish's audio series starring Nicholas Briggs as Holmes.

Sydney Bottocks posted:IIRC, Bozo the Clown was actually created by someone in either L.A. or NYC, who subsequently licensed the character out to TV stations in other major media markets, so that most every region had their own version of Bozo (not sure about any of the supporting characters though). I remember having my mind blown some years back when I discovered he wasn't just a local Chicago TV personality. Then a guy who ended up buying the Bozo license, in the 1960s, also managed to talk Stan Laurel into selling him the Laurel and Hardy license.

Dawgstar posted:If anybody gave my opinion the slightest bit of respect, I'd urge them to buy their riff of 'The Maturing Woman.' It opens with Bridget telling Mary Jo "Oh, this'll be good for you!" and just... "The Woman in Green" opening is great. It starts with the classic mirror ball Universal logo of the 30s: Bridget: This is my favorite logo ever! Mary Jo: More than that one Columbia movie where the logo that came alive and started dancing? Bridget: Oh god, I told you about that?

MassRafTer posted:Are the Rifftrax selections on Tubi and Amazon Prime the same? I would guess so but I realized today at work I've never checked. I always end up looking on Tubi because that's where I go when I'm in the mood for bad movies. (I'm also surprised how quickly Lycan Colony went up there.) There's an overlap, but I'd say Tubi always has a better selection

Fungicide is another movie I saw before they decided to riff it. The thing I remember most is when a killer mushroom smacked a guy with a steel chair then applied an ankle lock submission.

I mean, Kevin bragged about owning a leather hat in "A Year at the Movies" Shaman Tank Spec posted:This morning on the Rifftrax Twitch channel they aired Star Games. Holy gently caress, this may be the most insane movie I have ever seen! The special effects are atrociously bad, the space prince's computer AI is a disembodied clown head and the whole movie has this bizarre outsider art feel to it. Star Games was directed by Greydon Clark, who gave us Angels' Revenge and Final Justice. The School teacher "Angel" was also in Star Games (I think she's also married to Clark)

Gavok posted:I watched Star Games for the first time and it's one of those annoying movies where I feel like the basic idea was really, really good, but the people making it just didn't have the talent of budget available to make it work. Like, you could make a really fun movie about two kids becoming friends and one turning out to be some runaway space prince who digs Earth because of its entertaining grasp on science fiction. Even the hologram clown thing is a good idea that's just done badly. It's very Flight of the Navigator. It's by Greydon Clark, who did "Angels' Revenge" and "Final Justice"! And god help me, but I find myself actually enjoying "The Teen-Agers" films. Not just Bridget and Mary Jo's riffs, but the actual films themselves.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:Yeah, the money-saving advice in that short is all over the map and ends up being a great example of why the phrase "pennywise and pound-foolish" exists. My favorite YouTube videos are the ones who tell you "Don't buy this business' food! I'll show you how to make one at home that's better!" (i.e. "Don't buy a Big Mac! I'll show you how to make one at home that's better!") And then the whole thing turns out to be this incredibly involved, time consuming, and expensive ordeal.

Dawgstar posted:I watched the trailer for A Dangerous Man. Did Seagal really not even bother to throw a folder himself? The answer is of course he used one. The whole thing of being a buttery action star who does very little action taxes him greatly. I don't know about A Dangerous Man, but there are several films of his where he does not come back for ADR, so half his dialogue is dubbed by someone doing a bad Seagal impression. Asking him to throw something seems like too much effort.

The only bad thing about The Teenagers films are there are eight of them, but Rifftrax can't find decent prints of the last four, meaning we'll probably never get them riffed.
