Earth Angel is one of those movies where things would have probably turned out the same without the main character. Angela has to use her ghost powers to break up Cindy and Mike but Cindy only started dating Mike because Angela pushed her to. Similarly Cindy's mom didn't seem like she needed a lot of help in seeing that Duke was a d-bag.

I guess you could say that the ultimate goal was to show Angela that she was wrong but the afterlife shouldn't be dragging other people into her (after)life lesson.

They only play teenagers for the opening, then there's a time skip to "modern" day and they play characters more their age.

Trace and Frank do their livestreams over Zoom so it works but it can still end up with awkward moments like stepping on each others lines or just random technical issues.

A goofy thing about the new riff, Maximum Revenge, is that there are multiple characters in prison jumpsuits but for some reason only the (buff) main character has short sleeves.

I watched their riff of Hanger 18 the other day. What a weird movie. Like why did the government cut out the astronauts who actually saw the spaceship? Also apparently there's an alternate ending, which makes sense for how the ending they have is just voice over on top of a static image.

It feels like a movie that is working toward a twist ending where it only happened on their island and the rest of the world is fine (thus making the conflict moot) but nope.

It is such a weird movie because there are definitely scenes that are supposed to be goofy but other times the "horror" is played straight. Also there are just really serious continuity issues. Like a scene where a character gets attacked and starts bleeding from his wrist and ankle, scene transition and he's wearing different clothes and just has an injury on his ankle.

Phyllis Diller's Garage Sale is fantastic. Its just the right level of stupid and weirdly charming and the insurance bit is such a weird aside I'd never thought about before

Speaking of VODs, I'm watching "A Word to the Wives" which is a short about fancy modern kitchens and something that's absolutely bonkers is how scrawny all the wives are. (Also it stars a young Darren McGavin)

Its a very bizarre movie, tonally. The comedy is very broad and kids movie-ish but there's a lot of violence and swearing. Also there's the whole thing about the three kids are all horribly murdered.

New riff, The Minion, a religious horror movie starring Dolph Lundgren as a priest who fights evil discovered by some MTA goons in a tunnel.

Also features the world's worst archeologist who discovers an ancient artifact has a hollow back so the first thing she does is pry it open with a knife.

Rifftrax is participating in the new MST3K Kickstarter with their own reward set for backing.

quote:

• Level $35+ – A free 1-month subscription to RiffTrax Friends for new subscribers
• Level $50+ — The above + Jack and The Beanstalk + The Wizard of Oz
• Level $100+ — The above + Gammera The Invincible

Also if MST3K gets their final goal of $5.5 million (which is pretty likely) there will be a special live Rifftrax event on the Gizmoplex.

Watching 'Giant from the Unknown' on Tubi and the weirdest thing is the picture quality. This thing is pristine. Especially since I just watched the twenty years later and much shittier Hawk the Slayer.

On the other hand 'Giant' is more racist but 'Hawk' has a scene where a sorceress covers a guy in silly string. Tricky to rate the two overall.

The best thing about that is how Mike points out at the very end that people were murdered and animals were mutilated before the giant woke up.

It is images and sound on a screen so it is technically a movie but it doesn't exactly have a story arc or conclusion or anything like that.

I recently watched an older riff, Contamination, and the alien threat seemed really half baked. The alien "eggs" were only dangerous if they exploded directly on you which seems easy enough to avoid.
