I still haven’t seen the Laserblast episode but I’m going to go ahead and assume that Taxi Driver is an objectively better film.

just a headsup: the laserblast sdtk is available on itunes. "Billy's Radio" #s 1 AND 2, "Tony Discovers Black Spot," "Chuck's Car Gets Blasted," "Billy and Kathy Make Love." all right there.

what track would you say is the laserblast equivalent of "knockin' on heaven's door"

ok this is the most LA thing I’vd ever heard

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095560/trivia?tab=tr&item=tr0707017

The McDonalds scenes were all shot in City of Industry, CA, just outside Los Angeles. The set was a real-life McDonald's built specifically for crew member training and filming television commercials. Everything inside worked, but it never served a real customer. When it wasn't being used, it was locked up behind a chain link fence. It has since been torn down, then in 2006 was rebuilt but has never been open to the public. See filming locations for the exact address.

There’s a thing on rifftrax right now where all the main MST3K talent from the past is tiffing together on a stage and it’s warming my heart... when did this happen?

Evan, Friday, 23 November 2018 00:40 (five years ago) link

Tiffing. Yes

(Asylum movies are almost always 20% actiony craziness and then the rest of it is 80% ppl standing around in rooms padding out the rest of the movie)

2016, ok. Thanks google. I’m out of the loop

Evan, Friday, 23 November 2018 00:43 (five years ago) link

These are pretty good so far; as good as the best eps of last season I think. Atlantic rim is pretty dire and so new that it doesn’t feel right. Like you need 15-20 years of remove before it works

I watched through to The Day Time Ended -- is there a story about how this movie happened? It's bonkers. IMDB contributers think the stop motion monsters were dinosaurs, but I don't know. The animation is actually pretty good, but the monsters and alien don't fit in with the rest of the movie at all.

I noticed that the MST3K version cut out around half of the Mcdonalds scene. I know they cut, but I was surprised they chose that material to cut.

adam the (abanana), Monday, 26 November 2018 08:19 (five years ago) link

Phew, okay, got through all six at last (saw the first two last week, was home sick today so I knocked off the rest). More thoughts later but Killer Fish is some goddamn hilarity.

Moved recently and got a Roku and discovered to my pleasant surprise that Pluto (which has a 24/7 MST3K channel AND a Rifftrax channel) and Tubi (which has the Shout Factory episodes on demand) exist.

two months pass...

Watching the Mac and Me episode was kind of a surreal experience, since I actually saw this film in theatres. Some context: when I was 10, my parents and I went to go see Midnight Run but the lady at the ticket counter basically shamed my mother about taking her child to that film and pressured my parents towards Mac and Me instead. To say that it is the worst movie that we ever saw theatrically is no small claim; other movies I saw in theatres as a child included Poltergeist 2 and Allan Quartermain and the Lost City of Gold.

Anwyay, the episode itself is pretty funny, and the film gives them plenty to work with. Also, they don't make note of it, and I couldn't spot her myself, but apparently Jennifer Aniston is dancing somewhere in that McDonalds sequence.

I'm somewhat disappointed but hardly surprised that the It's Just a Show podcast verdict on Racket Girls is that it's ungood, as opposed to a clear series high point (which it is).

I would agree with you there, it's amazing! But I won't speak ill of my fellow hosts on Megaphonic. :-D

Meantime, Joel's announced he's doing one last live tour with the bots; no Jonah this time, if that factors into a decision of whether to go or not. Full details here:

https://mst3klive.com/

The two movies are, per the Kickstarter note:

"No Retreat, No Surrender"

A self-conscious teen becomes a martial arts master under the tutelage of Bruce Lee’s ghost. Featuring fresh-faced Jean-Claude Van Damme as a brooding hit man and a Bruce Lee lookalike, who looks nothing like Bruce Lee.

"Circus of Horrors"

A garish 1960s British thriller showcasing mod circus acts, plastic surgery, and animal attacks by stagehands in fur suits. Warning: Features the pop hit “Look for a Star” over and over again.

If you want to sample that, er, glory:

Yikes

I was booked to be in a fun show starting right now but instead I’m sitting in Lenox Hill Hospital waiting to find out if I’m getting a stent or open heart surgery (the latter being the more likely scenario). Ordinary, everyday life is precious.

He got through it!

Update: I had quadruple bypass surgery and I just got out of the ICU with a good prognosis for recovery. So grateful to all who sent me such warm wishes. I love all of you.

And updating that news above, Frank's back with The Mads are Back crew; he talks about his surgery a bit at the start.

Saw the MST3k live show over the weekend & it was a total blast, definitely recommend catching it if youre on the fence. Never saw Joel perform IRL, it was a surprisingly heartwarming and nostalgic experience (even considering the circumstances) for me & my companions seeing him riff onstage, reacting to the audience, etc. Film we saw was "No Retreat, No Surrender" which was truly bananas, would easily have been a classic episode back in the day.

Oh, whoops. Glazed over the movie title you mentioned. I saw "Circus of Horrors"

I love ‘No Retreat, No Surrender’.

Frank's starting to surface more in public and he's looking great -- he'd mentioned losing weight after the surgery:
