Can anyone share or reccomend something from mst3k?

I see it mentioned a lot but any time I've tried to watch a bit, of which there is too much to know what's good, it's been pretty ropey.
That rifftrax meet mrs swenson preview they are pushing is rough.

I would start with a short.

An underrated gem from the Joel era is "I Accuse My Parents" which is the definitive moralizing 50s cautionary tale.

High schooler with alcoholic parents goes from being a star student to gangster lackey, but he won an essay contest!

The juvenile delinquency episodes are some of my favorites. I always liked Girls Town, where Mel Torme was the heavy.

Was I Accuse My Parents the one where the girl gang wrecks a classroom for the Communists?

The Girl In Lover's Lane ( this movie is legit good imo )

I think this one is slept on. It's one of my favorites too.

'Big Stupid' is such a great running joke.

So just to clarify, the pilot (which was not picked up) was based off the TV movie (which was riffed). It did not have any of the stars from the movie and did not get picked up.

That's a wild movie with what at the time were already stars or would go on to be known actors.

Michael J Fox
Nancy McKeon
Crispin Glover
Crystal Bernard
Todd Bridges
Dana Plato
Anthony Edwards

Even the old people in the show were stars:
Angela Cartwright
Bob Denver
Tony Dow
Ken Osmond
Dawn Wells
and the list goes on.

I remember watching this as a kid. I'm gonna have to get this Rifftrax.

When rewatching Eegah! once I noticed that Ray Dennis Steckler (The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies) appears briefly with I believe no lines during Eegah!'s rampage at the end of the movie.

Edit: He had lines.

The Trace and Frank livestreams are low tech but fun.

This past one was the first for me and I liked it, but Frank is really loud.

They hit the $3.3M stretch today, and the one where they'll have a live watching of the Quest of the Delta Knights episode in a week or so.

Please hammer don't hurt 'em.

So, they've got 8 days left and are about $850k away from hitting the stretch goal for 9 episodes. Do we think they'll reach that mark?

I think there's good chance. They're doing a live final fundraising push, aren't they? I think that'll get a good amount in. I have doubts they'll hit $5.5 though.
