And one of those that doesn't translate to print, Crow's evil laugh for Tab upon sneaking away in the elevator.

Sublimely ugly film all around, the fashions, haircuts, color scheme and all the horrifying lumpy/hangdog men. Yech.

Ground control, my face is large and troublesome. (Paraphrasing that one. It's been awhile.)

I'd be lying if I didn't admit I wish I had his neo-Rennaissance bangs.

Beautiful still on that vid, really.

Trying desperately to remember if they made any knowing swipes at Tab's sexuality a la "This is Tommy Kirk reeeeeally acting."

queen frostine (Eric H.), Tuesday, 26 January 2010 06:13 (fourteen years ago) link

xpost -- Hahaha

Nah I don't remember that with Tab in this one. Maybe a Polyester ref, though?

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 26 January 2010 06:14 (fourteen years ago) link

Haha, maybe. All I can remember now is "Tab Hunter. Huntin down people who don't pay their tabs." "Tab? I'd like to run a Tab ... all over my BODY!"

and it's something else, even without the MST3K treatment ...

Yeah, agreed -- I did like it when Rhino did the occasional inclusion of the movies straight up without the riffing, just for the extra footage and to see how they made so many utterly useless movies actually watchable by increasing the pace by default. (The Skydivers being a classic example.)

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 04:06 (fourteen years ago) link

END! END! END!

I grew up watching this when we got cable around 1995 or so, so I only knew the Mike Nelson Comedy Central years. F-ing CLASSIC in every way. Recently after discovering the Rifftrax I started seeking out old episodes to watch. Right now I'm working through season 3, which has Joel, and I had never seen before. To be honest the riffs aren't quite as fast-paced as I would've hoped. The movies I've seen so far (Cave Dwellers, Pod People) are so god-awfully bad it makes up for it when that's the case.

Joel does the interacting-with-movie via his silhouette more than Mike. I'm loving the skits more than I thought I would...Joel is a real funny guy and has a nice Intelligent Stoner look to him that kinda suits the show.

Adam Bruneau, Friday, 26 February 2010 18:05 (fourteen years ago) link

Pretty much sums up how I feel about the Joel vs. Mike thing. Mike's episodes were generally better written with faster riffs inside the theater, but almost too slick. Joel was a much more likable host, but some of those really early episodes are way draggy.

queen frostine (Eric H.), Friday, 26 February 2010 18:34 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah, I can get with this. and I grew up watching the mike eps too.

I do prefer the joel skits in general. the mike ones could sometimes get a little too... corny?

original bgm, Friday, 26 February 2010 19:06 (fourteen years ago) link

Yeah, I'm watching the Pod People one right now. At the second skit break they setup a wall of keyboards and started making fun of New Age music and minimalism, and played a couple minutes of "bay area" ambient jams! The next break was simply them jumping around in Pee Wee-inspired hysterics, with really silly synth music playing. Brilliant and hilarious!

Adam Bruneau, Friday, 26 February 2010 19:11 (fourteen years ago) link

Jesus demonoid has the complete collection as a 142 GB download!!

Adam Bruneau, Friday, 26 February 2010 19:14 (fourteen years ago) link

I really loved it when Joel would act all butthurt over the 'Bots not playing along during skits. Or the few times he came off as scary discipline parent.

queen frostine (Eric H.), Friday, 26 February 2010 19:30 (fourteen years ago) link

There was a nice meanspirited nastiness to some of those earlier skits (the Orville Redenbacher one, for instance) that was just missing in the era of Mike.

queen frostine (Eric H.), Friday, 26 February 2010 19:30 (fourteen years ago) link

"GOVERNMENT cheese!"

Was rocking First Spaceship to Venus the other night. The "Thanks, LEN!" riff makes me laugh way too much. (But the guy really does look like a Len. There could be nobody more Len than him.)

Ned Raggett, Friday, 26 February 2010 19:31 (fourteen years ago) link

I really liked Joel.. he was so sullen. Quit watching not long after Mike took over.

da croupier, Friday, 26 February 2010 20:34 (fourteen years ago) link

I always liked that the bots more or less had the upper hand over Mike. And they did have some classic host bits, like the one where Crow goes back in time to tell Mike not to take the job at Deep 13, changing the future and leaving them with Mike's abusive brother Eddie.

I am one of those weird people that likes Joel and Mike.

ô_o (Nicole), Friday, 26 February 2010 20:47 (fourteen years ago) link

I think most folks like em both! just that people usually have a pretty strong preference. but they're both cool.

original bgm, Friday, 26 February 2010 20:48 (fourteen years ago) link

Yeah, I like them both too. I really, really liked Mike in bit parts before hosting.

Cosign.

I really, really liked Mike in bit parts before hosting.

He was great at those, it's the one regret I had with the host shift since he couldn't very well play against himself. I love him as JC from The Sidehackers:

Google vid searching MST3K unleashes quite the treasure trove of full length, DL-able eps, btw.

currently watching 'the leech woman' on youtube.

I love whenever actors recur in movies. The oily dude she offs in the last half hour or so was the guy in The Unearthly who kept using too much Noo Yawk attitude and slang and so Joel and the Bots piled on the Dead End Kids lingo.

anyway, i caught onto the show during the Joel era. i stopped watching just after Mike replaced Joel (for reasons that had nothing to do w/ whether or not i liked Mike more than Joel). over the years, i've caught up w/ the Mike-era episodes which have been quite revelatory & enjoyable when i finally get around to seeing them.
