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

your headstone movie was too good to be MSTied

And ranks as possibly one of their worst episodes too, if it ranks.

So excited to force family to watch this yet again!

First up, Outlaw of Gor. The score so far:

Comedy Central: 1
Sci-Fi: 0

One of the first episodes I finally saw as it ran. Glad this is going to be on demand at Yahoo because looks like streaming on my phone isn't happening...

ps3 stream is working! yaaay

This Island Earth was better at the Minneapolis convention. Still a decent movie tho.

mst3k.com stream not working

Ah cool, YouTube on my iPhone IS working. Maybe it just started a little later.

i have never seen this one before...this movie is really, uh, something

Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot? Cabot?

oh man, that's one i really can't do. i can't remember if we even finished it or not, the plot just kinda... continues. and yeah, that one dude is reeeeeeal hard to take. no fault on the riffing, just one of those where the movie itself is so irritating that you kinda can't deal.

That montage of man ass at the end . . .

Haha I love _Outlaw_, it's just so ridiculous. They could never do enough wannabe Conan movies for me.

And now _Eegah!_! Two for two for me here.

Ditto!

Favorite riff: the screeching sound accompanying Roxy's trip down the giant slide.

the song he sings by the pool is outstanding

Oh wait, it's Arch Hall Jr. that's the celebrity I most closely resemble.

Two of my favorite-ever MST3K moments in this: "Watch out for snakes!" obviously, and Joel putting his hands over the bots' mouths when Roxie asks, "Do you know where Deep Canyon is?"

I am William Burroughs ... I am William Burroughs ... I am William Burroughs ... I'm Rose Kennedy.

You know, this episode has one of my all time obscure lines. After Eegah smacks Arch Hall Jr and they all cheer, first Tom does a whiny voiced complaint supposedly from Arch, then Joel adds "Come on, you stupid zinge." Zinge? Am I hearing that right?

"Whatsa matter Mister Miller?"
"Sit down, Pieface. It's a long list."

I love how much they hate Arch Hall jr

Gorgo.

Comedy Central: 2
Sci-Fi: 1

Tuned in earlier just in time to catch the end of Eegah!, fell hard for Joel's response to the narrator banging on about the book of Genesis: "Ahhh, that's totally out of context!"

Gorgo is such a boring turd not even mst3k can save it.

Have we done an MST3K POX itt yet?

Godzilla vs. Megalon
Santa Claus Conquers the Marians
Monster a Go-Go
Manos: The Hands of Fate
The Atomic Brain
Village of the Giants
The Creeping Terror
San Francisco International
Racket Girls
Red Zone Cuba

I knew Racket Girls would be on your top 10

I'm constantly perplexed by MSTies' coolness toward that episode.

Teenagers from Outer Space is 4th up today.

Oh, perfect. What an amazing episode. (It's Thanksgiving lunch here it turns out so I've had to miss this and Gorgo.)

I have to stop now for dinner. Hoping for a few more Sci-Fi eps for you all.

Yes, _Danger! Death Ray!_ is next. Finished the meal and cleaning here so I'm just going to happily enjoy this and whatever the final one is.

was skyping with VegemiteMum for a while a missed most of teenagers. i've never seen this one

I am William Burroughs ... I am William Burroughs ... I am William Burroughs ... I'm Rose Kennedy.

I quoted this from memory w/out seeing that scene today... but do you know it is a parody of contestants identifying themselves on the quiz show "To Tell the Truth"? (apparently it's being revived next year, but the classic period was 1956-78)

Yup, I remember seeing episodes when I was small.

And _Santa Claus Conquers the Martians_ to see us out. Only appropriate.

hooray! i havent seen this one either

Kickstarter about to hit $3 million; $300,000 out from six new episodes.

"Maynard Ferguson playing a ballad there."

Okay given the final new skit there -- I would trust MST to make fun of cutesy ukulele filksongs, not to fucking rely on one.

During the final kickstarter spot that closed out the marathon, Joel mentioned anyone from the original show run has been welcomed back to either contribute or make cameos. Presumably Mike got the invitation and begged off?

I have a feeling that's a bit of cover.

I haven't invested a whole lot of time or energy investigating, but do Joel and Mike have a beef?

Mike launched Rifftrax and has been doing it for nearly a decade, so pretty understandable he would continue to devote his energy there.

But, I mean, just a cameo.

Racket Girls is a sloggggg imho, one of those where the sheer dull repetitiousness of the movie ultimately defies riffing. All the wrestling scenes are basically rock climbing, and there's nothing else about the movie to keep it going.

Gorgo is all right. We howled at the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald riffs early on, can't remember a lot of other stuff about it. Teenagers From Outer Space is pretty classic iirc.

I'm kind of fond of Racket Girls. That may be partly due to Eric's enthusiasm for it itt

I remember thinking the Coleman Francis movies were too painfully dull to get through, but eventually warmed to them and they're all three among my favorites. The Gamera movies, otoh.

Racket Girls is a seriously great episode. A double bill of that and The Sinister Urge is some weird high camp all around.

Even in MST3K, diva worship reigns supreme.

those casts are divas, huh?
