I've got a good feeling about Munchies and The Christmas Dragon looks like a delight. Super-jazzed.
Two already riffed by Rifftrax
Solid looking line-up though

Munchie is what happens when a horror movie gets a children's movie spinoff.
The weird thing is that The Bubble actually has a 3D version.

It's worth noting that when Wizards of the Lost Kingdom was already riffed by Rifftrax, it vanished at about the time the MST episode was announced. Now that's
probably a coincidence, and Ator peacefully exists alongside its MST version, but I think I know where I'm gonna use my black Friday coupon, just to be safe.
Also, during the last host segment of the night, they dropped the season premiere date. March 4th!

Especially with a trailer like this...
One question. I'm thinking of doing a thread on the theatrical trailers (or as close as possible) of the various Season 13 movies. Should I use spoiler tags?

If it is a dedicated thread you could just put SPOILERS in the subject line and leave them free in the thread...
I'm most excited about the Bubble and The Batwoman.
If the writing is good this slate of films is better than I could have hoped for. I mean, I think more than half are from the 60's or early 70's my fav period for films and for film to be riffed. Yes!
And the only movies I've seen before, beside the two that were rifftraxed of course, are the Gamera and The Mask. Both are ripe for the riffings. Haven't actually seen the Gamera since I was a kid.
I hope we find out at some point which ones fell through. There was one riff choice that they had to pull and replace for this season and I'm curious what it was.

During the fundraising Joel mentioned he had found a new Manos. Though I wonder if it's The Bubble. That one would seem to qualify.
Did they ever mention what film had to be pulled/replaced? The various S-13 lists appear to have the same movies. I would have thought the two candidates for films with flimsy rights issues were the Gamera film, The Batwoman and Doctor Mordrid. In the case of Doctor Mordrid, I could see Disney stepping in and forbidding its use, because it is actually Doctor Strange. The producer who held the rights to make a Doctor Strange film in the 90s lost the rights due to production on the movie being held up. Much like with The Fantastic Four, they were rushing to release a cheap Doctor Strange film before the option expired, but days before principal photography was to begin, there was an industry wide strike. When the strike was over, the option had expired, but they already had a cast in place, a complete script, and all the sets and costumes. So they changed the name of the character from Strange to Mordrid and made the film anyway. Marvel let them get away with it, but that was long before Marvel was owned by Disney.
As for the Gamera film, I was hoping it was being replaced with a different Gamera film, Gamera: Super Monster which is the absolute worst giant monster movie ever made and deserves to be rifled. But so far the same Sandy Frank era Gamera film is onbthe S-13 lists.

Apparently, this Gamera film is an AIP one that wasn't touched by Sandy Frank. They haven't said what film was pulled yet.
Thought episode 2 was a big improvement over episode 1. Better host segments and bad but far less dreadful movie. Still sync isuues, but not as bad. Thought the April Fools white dot bit was a nice touch. Host segments not as forced as a lot of them have been in the return. Has me looking more forward to the rest of the season.
Watched the talking after the episode and it sounds like there must have been a bunch of negative feedback from the first episode premiere - came across as very defensive in parts. Did like Joel's comments about new format allowing to make changes based on feedback and looking at what worked and what didn't, but sounds like they need to limit the time they're spending on forums.
Hey Mods! Shouldn't there be a Demon Squad sub-board?

Attempted to watch the live premiere show last night. After 30 minutes, gave up and just watched the episode which didn't have the problems of the live event. Hoping the premiere eventually gets made available at higher quality than the current 320p version up on gizmoplex.

Yeah eventually they opened up an alternate stream of it.
Well, the season is done! I am not sure I can really rank the episodes until I rewatch, but there were a lot that I loved.
Robot Wars, Beyond Atlantis, Muchie, Dr Mordrid, Batwoman, The Mask and The Bubble are my favourites (not in that order) on first watch, I think.
OK, so got the email that my year 1 gizmoplex sub is ending (but I'll still have access to streams of everything from year 1).
But...wasn't there supposed to be a Rifftrax gizmoplex event? Did I miss it?
The I Accuse My Parents event's next Friday. They announced the date change during the last event, but the ticket stub still said 2/3.
