I just finished watching..........................

[Iron Curtain]

Gammera The Invincible. I liked the MST3K version better. It had better riffing and Joel explicitly said that he liked the movie, and even though I'm sure Mike and Bill love GTI as much as Sandy Frank's distribution of Gamera, Sandy Frank's version was in color and had anglicized names, which made it more digestible (and paradoxically more riffable).

Gammera The Invincible - despite its popularity, the MST version was never a real knockout for me. Good, with some top notch skits, but not brilliant. So for me, this one isn't the weak sister of the two. I like getting a different version of the movie, and of course the new quips. Maybe not a complete laugh-riot, but fun and funny.

Also Mind Ripper and Honor and Glory

And a bunch of shorts. The funniest... A Day with Fireman Bill, Six Murderous Beliefs and What Mary Jo Wanted (with MJ and Bridget)

And with the current weekend sale I pretty much cleared out my wishlist. I picked up 19 Trax (features and shorts) so plenty to look forward to.

...but I really wish that we'd get more "just the jokes" of bad movies like this instead of just Star Wars movies.

Reign of Fire actually spends a couple minutes referencing Star Wars too! 

I decided to look at the past 20 Just the Jokes riffs to see how that criticism holds up. There are only 3, but that reaches back to the past 6 years. They really don't release Just the Jokes often enough imo. My guess is they make more money with VODs, so I can't really blame them.

I finished Yor, Hunter From the Future today. I watched it back to back and the gym with a merging of the MST3K and Rifftrax Live Space Mutinies. I'm basically a strong man now.

So, my friend has a new TV that included the rifftrax network thing. They saw Fun in Balloonland for the first time, which we all loved. Which was then followed by Rollargator which opens with
"Rollargator, because we didn't think we could get you to watch Fun in Balloonland either."

Whoever decided on the play order was a genius.

Mothra - The disc I have is the Japanese release, so obviously that wouldn't work... but I did find a copy in English - and I pretty much got it synched up from the start. So no adjustments, just kicked back and enjoyed. I liked it a lot at the start, but felt it faded down the stretch (or maybe I just got tired). Wish I'd have been able to have made it to the theater and saw it with a crowd.

Naturally A Girl - I was in stitches start to finish. Killer work from B&MJ.

I also picked up Beyond Christmas and Deadly Instincts, so I have more from the ladies to look forward to.

[Iron Curtain]

Krull - I finally got time to sit down and watch this. I even remembered some riffs from the live show (since it's basically a re-recording of the live show). I really enjoyed this one. At the end, I found out that Colwyn was played by Ken Marshall and not Liam Neeson as I originally thought; Liam Neeson played Regan.

[The Lurker]

I hope they can eventually get to Ladyhawke at some point.

Sketchfest 2019
Good show, but where was Mike? Liked that Frank and Trace got time to do three straight shorts and they were all new to me shorts, but it was kind of Frank on his own as Trace's voice was shot and half the time when he did riff you couldn't understand him. Sean Thomason filled in for Mary Jo with Bridget and did fine but seemed to lack some confidence that he had no reason to lack. Despite my apparent criticisms, enjoyed it more than some of the other Sketchfests and still really glad they release these as the chances of me ever going to one live are slim to none.

I had to put on earbuds in order to catch what Trace was saying, it really helped. And man the audience just lost it over the Cautious Twins. Very funny work. I thought Janet and Cole were hilarious too. Despite missing some MVPs (and 1 losing his voice) this was a goodie.

I watched She Demons
It's another classic from B&MJ. And another goodie from Richard E. Cunha. Between this and Missile to the Moon I think Rifftrax needs to do more Cunha. Frankenstein's Daughter cries out for a riffing.

I agree. Frankenstein's Daughter has to be done. They can skip Giant of the Unknown though. That was is TOO boring.

Shorts Marathon!

Started with What Mary Jo Wanted and then watched every release from World of Tupperware to Tommy's Day.

What Mary Jo Wanted is one of their best. A classic I'd say from MJ and B.

Every short was excellent but the standouts were Farm Animals and Tommy's Day. The latter was so weird for a film about losing a tooth. If that's what it was about. Maybe it was a cautionary tale about letting your sister watch your bathroom routine.

…The Rifftrax Presents of  Flash Gordon: Purple Death from Outer Space. Wow, this film was meandering and boring. Not to mention that it is

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

without an epilogue so I don't know if Earth got cured of the purple death.

I find it ironic that Rollergator is an infinitely worse film yet is way more interesting than this PoS.

[George-2.0]

Invasion of the Animal People - brilliant! This was like old-school MST3K. You have a painfully bad B&W movie (one that I'd hoped MST would do back in the day) and quips that are chock full of funny references. Simply a joy, so glad I finally got to see this movie riffed.

Jack and the Giant Killer: Live This was one of those movies, like Magic Sword, which wasn't actually bad. It was very standard for the genre, which was popular for a time. The riffs were fun, much like... Magic Sword's were. So this is a rare case of a work that can be enjoyed on two levels.
