I think they are pretty funny and expect them to get better as they go along.

I look forward to episode two.

Does anyone know what movie they will be riffing yet?

[SmilinJackRoss]

Man Overboard!

I just ordered my copy this weekend, I can't wait to see the rest of it.  I shall report back!

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

Yes. The next movie is Lady Frankenstine, to be followed by "Bloody Pit of Horror"  (with short The Talking Car) and then The Satanic Brides of Dracula with short Ghost Rider (no, not the Nicolas Cage one)

[Edward J Grug III]

Oh wow, they've planned pretty far ahead then.

Lady Frankenstine sounds pretty cool!

And is there a release date yet?

Someone said the end of this month in the other thread.  I've seen Lady Frankenstein before, and it's got some nudey bits in it, so I'm guessing either the show is looking to be a little more adult with its offerings or they'll just cut it out.

[Chaos]

woah woah woah... there's PUBLIC DOMAIN nudity out there, and I wasn't informed?

Damn RSS feeds... never around when you need them.

...

Is there an official link for these guys other than that MySpaceTV website. I've tried to watch that preview video a coupla' times now and it take forever to load... to the point where i just give up. I haven't seen anything past the first intro skit, dammit.

All of their vids are on Youtube too.

Thanx. I supposed that i should've guessed that one myself, huh? Well, regardless... their website is nothing more than a link to the same MySpaceTV video for now. I'll keep an eye on it though. They have to update it eventually, right? Either that, or i'll just walk away from my computer tonight and let the stupid thing take it's sweet time loading... then hope i don't forget about it and just close my browser tomorrow morning!

Their MySpace person, who is super duper nice and quick to answer, said the nudity is left alone, but they're going to cover it in the internet preview.

She also told me they're probably dropping Satantic Rites until later when they can afford to buy the rights because there's an issue determining if it truly is public domain without going through a lot of legal crap. 

How would someone even find out if a movie was public domain if it was in question?  Entertainment Layer?  I'd love to see them riff that movie.

I also heard they're gonna do "Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory" in Satanic Rites' steed for now.  Hilarious title.

Check out YouTube and search for "icwxp" and you can watch the first 30 minutes.  Sadly, because YouTube is the shitehole it is, it's split into several different parts.

I imagine any movie that can be bought as a $1 dvd is in the public domain.

Not necessarily!  I've seen Satanic Rites for a few bucks in the Wal-Mart bin many moons ago just like you've said, but it seems some people think Hammer still owns the rights and it can cost as much as $10 - $15 bucks online.

Ha-ha, the title alone is worth the $8.

o_o huh.

If that's the case, then how can anything made after 1938 be available for riffing, and why do the same movies seem to circulate within movie mega packs? How can some movies be played, viewed, and even downloaded legally for free?
