Mystery Science Theater 3000: C/D, S/D.

Weird thing about The Crawling Eye is that it was originally a British tv series! We watched The Final Sacrifice this weekend - so AWFUL! Ancient cult of Canadian wrestlers, the Ziox! But a fantastic song from Tom Servo, Crow and Mike about Canada. And the bonus interview with the guy who played Zap Rowsdower was too earnest for words.

I made Casuistry watch that when I was visiting him in Toronto. Went over well.

"Work faster, Grandma!"

"This man does things he's not proud of."

"Eegah!" is just... man.

"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

And the shaving and the tongue and the...

If we're talking some classic MST3K shorts:

"Junior Rodeo Daredevils!"

"...smothered in gravy -- TEXAS style!"

the whole cave scene where the dad was essentially encouraging his daughter to let Eegah molest her...

The shorts they've been showing at the live Rifftrax events have been absolutely sublime. This most recent one, last Thursday, had one with a talking paper bag a la "No springs!" that was just amazing.

Yeah I was just reading about that. Amazing.

Haha, "Jim Henson's Last Picture Show Babies."

Hey, contents of the next box set after the new one have been announced:

• 109- PROJECT MOONBASE (with shorts: Commando Cody, parts 7 & 8)
• 322- MASTER NINJA I
• 324- MASTER NINJA II
• 505- MAGIC VOYAGE OF SINBAD

All Joel, all the time.

Just watched The Final Sacrifice, which has the most hilarious riffing I've heard yet. Here's its VHS cover:

Hahah what in the hell.

None of them are Rowsdower enough.

Ha ha... I just watched this last night:

"I wonder if there's beer on the sun"

I've been digging through some of the KTMAs -- SST Death Flight, jeez Louise. Or rather, Tina Louise...

Has anyone mentioned how great Hobgoblins is yet? Top notch riffing all the way through, and it has that incredible bit when one the lead characters is unmistakably burnt to death, but then returns during the final scene without so much as a singed eyebrow!

Also, Hired! The Musical.

Hobgoblins is probably my favorite

"Meet The Hobgoblins! Frankie, Sniffles, Bounce-Bounce and The Claw!"

"They're rubbing puppets on us!"

I just love the fact that Roadrash or whoever he is is one of the two guys with the Gimp in Pulp Fiction.

Which one of these should I watch tonight?

Horrors of Spider Island
Warrior of the Lost World
Soultaker
Laserblast
The Killer Shrews
The Phantom Planet
Eegah!
The Wild World of Batwoman

the last two are outrageously funny

eegah! is something else

What they both said. Watch both.

"ROX-EEE!"

"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

also everything that happens in the cave... omg

eegah and batwoman would be my nods, too

xpost -- "Think of the alternative."

God, "Hired!" None of my salesmen has ever sold a caaaaaaar...

"G'night, stay soft, pink and oily..."

All you guys otm about Eegah!

"Wait'll see my combo. They swing. Really swing!"

"I'd like to meet your combo."

just watched riff trax for the first time. clash of the titans: pretty funny! avatar: not funny.

Rifftrax Transformers, and Twilight are pretty great. Star Trek is funny too.

Joel is so frickin' priceless.

Joel's thoroughly unexcited "OH WOW!" always makes my day.

Okay so that Manos: The Hands of Fate sequel just got weirder:

We are absolutely ecstatic to inform you that THE MASTER himself, Tom Neyman is alive and well, and will be reprising his role as "The Master" in "Manos: The Search for Valley Lodge"! Wow!

!

LOLling right now at Fugitive Alien and the "I love Ken he is my friend" song.

Haha from one of the very first episodes I saw when it was actually broadcast. I like imagining how quickly they were piling on the toupees and drawing on his mustache.

I like the YouTube comment that compares this to a well-done Muppets musical number.

RIP Juan Piquer Simon, the director of Pod People.

"Trumpy!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UH_Tr6SgGo

"Wait, is this Movie A or Movie B?" "I think this is Movie C . . ."

I looooove Joel's miffed Mike Curb Congregation riff. God, the whole thing. "IT STINKS!" If Pod People didn't have all the lonnnnnng dreary forest wandering stuff it'd be my favorite episode in a walk between Idiot Patrol and the Trumpy stop-motion scene.

"Little wing-ed potatoes..."

my ankle's all bendy-wendy
