You should see them.  Do it by any means.

As for the rifftrax debate, I recommend at least trying one before you judge them poorly.  I just watched Independence Day with some friends last weekend.  Laughed until I nearly cried.  Best one so far.

On a side note, I have named my nintendo wii  'MrWiiST3K.'  I declare this the best pun ever.  That is all

[Reply #241 on:]

I also really like the final sacrifice, sometimes I get in the habit of calling people Rowsdower

I also found this website the other day www.castleforrester.com  you can order DVDs of episodes that haven't yet been released, I haven't tried it out yet, but I'm planning on doing it sometime soon

The guy I work with and I were having a good old time "riffing" Terminator 3 when it was on a few days ago.  It's quite entertaining.

I was also walking in the mall today and saw a poster advertising a "Citi Wrap"...what you or I might call a "shawl"...and all I could think of was Mike and the Bots making fun of Prince of Space's waist-length cape.  I giggled to myself like a demented, overweight schoolgirl that also happened to be male.

MrWiiST3K definitely has pun street cred.  I'm not where exactly Pun St is, but it most likely crosses Miss St ST3K.

Bump for cause.

The next best thing, or the next best thing EVAR?

[Reply #244 on:]

The movie is coming out on DVD. I might die of happiness.

[Reply #245 on:]

I've never watched this show
:-P

[Reply #246 on:]

The show rocks, you have to watch it!

[Reply #247 on:]

If you can't find reruns on cable, go get the DVDs at Blockbuster.  If Blockbuster doesn't have the DVDs, burn down the store*.  If Blockbuster is a smoldering pile of cinders for some reason, check out YouTube*.

I'd suggest "Prince of Space", "Skydivers", "Space Mutiny", or "Cave Dwellers".

[Reply #248 on:]

Cave Dwellers is okay, but not one of my favorites. Skydivers is hilarious though. Haven't seen the other two, but plan to.

And since when are there reruns on cable? TELL ME NOW! I DEMAND TO KNOW!

[Reply #249 on:]

there's a ton of mst3k on youtube and google video, google video is best since you can watch an episode in its entirity, wheras youtube athem broken down into segments, both are acceptable

[Reply #250 on:]

I didn't like the Skydivers episode. I thought it was pretty boring.

[Reply #251 on:]

You need to drink more coffee.

Also, I also say Space Mutiny, Hobgoblins or one of my personal favourites Sidehackers!

I don't know if there are any.  I don't have cable.  Now let's all shut up and check out one of the less legitimate options I forespoke of.

"Skydivers" was classic!  And it was preceded by one of the best shorts ever!  "Cave Dwellers" is also classic, and, I'd wager, better than "Sidehackers", you Gooches.

[Reply #253 on:]

Haven't seen Sidehackers. Cave Dwellers didn't do that much for me though.

[Reply #254 on:]

Sidehackers was pretty funny.

[Reply #255 on:]

Pod People > All


"Chief?! McLoud!"

[Reply #256 on:]

Space Mutiny
"Big McLarge Huge."

I have to say some of my favorites are that one, Hobgoblins, Manos, and Santa ("Let's have a Patrick Swayze Christmas..." ).


Cinematic Titanic looks like it'll be pretty awesome. I'll get it when it comes out. Has anybody tried Mike's venture, Rifftrax?

[Reply #257 on:]

Manos may possibly be my favorite episode...I'm still not sure though. It's somewhat of a tie between that one and Clonus.
Obviously, Pod People is hysterical too, though, and is MrBlonde's actual favorite, I'f I'm not mistaken.
And Santa Conquers The Martians is obviously a classic as well.

Hobgoblins is a hysterical episode...it just lost a lot of it's edge when I discovered the guy made the movie intentionally to be horrible.

I've seen Cinematic Titanic and it's fucking awesome. I've only seen one RiffTrax (AeonFlux) it was pretty awesome...I guess.

[Reply #259 on:]

I love pretty much any one I ever saw, but some do stand out in my memory...Pod People, Manos, Alien from LA, the Santa ones (weren't there two?); also the Russo-Finnish stuff. Gotta love Angels Revenge too. Skydivers was awesome.
Hell, just about anything from seasons 2-6, and some of 7, was awesome.

And a lot of the shorts are absolutely hilarious.
edit: that car-salesman guy with the handkerchief on his head...

[Reply #260 on:]

The christmas episodes were "Santa Claus" and "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians". Both are good, but I get the feeling the the Martian one was intentionally campy and thus not quite as funny.

"Santa Claus" is the foreign(mexican? I can't remember, it's been a few years) movie where the devil tries to foil Santa Claus and fails comically. This is my favorite episode ever and has made me laugh harder than any movie I've ever seen. I wish it were on DVD. I would pay $50 for it, easily.

[Reply #261 on:]

km: The car-salesmen ones were Hired and Hired: Part II. The latter is the one when the guy puts the handkerchief on his head, if I remember correctly.

[Reply #262 on:]

Ah, yes, the brilliant "Hired" series. And of course, Santa Claus was the one with the Mexican devil...the other one just had the green Martian elves or whatever. I have the episode-guide book, but I can't be bothered to dig it out.
(The book is extremely amusing, as well).

The disturbingness levels of many of these movies has to be seen to be believed. They just HAVE to figure out some way to get this back on TV somehow. Someday they have to do it. Reruns on TV would be beyond awesome.

[Reply #263 on:]

My favourite short you say?

NOOOOOOOOOO SPRINGS!.

Mr. B Natural FTW.

"Shine your horn everday, boy!"

[Reply #266 on:]

Nah, it's totally "Catching Trouble."

Tom - "So it's Ross: 2, Everglades: nothing."

Joel - "You know, Ross is no stranger to raping the land."

Ross - "Wildcat!  Goin' that way!"
Joel - "Wildcat, I think I love you, but I want to know for sure."

Tom - "Isn't this wrong?"
Joel - "Yeah, I'm deeply ashamed of my race right now."
Tom - "Deservedly so."

I just love "Johnny At The Fair" because of:

*baby horse goes underneath parent horse to breast feed, baby horse comes back out from underneath a second later*

comment: "Oops, sorry Dad!"

[Reply #268 on:]

I've only seen the Manos episode, I thought it was pretty funny, it's a shockingly terrible movie 

[Reply #269 on:]

"Trumpy, you can do magic things!"

"It stinks!"

Also, it's been eons since I've seen Manos, but I can still summon up Torgo's theme music at any time...

And some other craptastically great episodes are the one with the underwater leeches, and the ones with Winky and that spaceship, and the one with the killer shrews that look like messed-up dogs, and the one with that guy with the French girlfriend and the sister with leg braces and he goes around singing and driving his car...the list is endless...

[Reply #270 on:]

The sketch at the end was funny "Torgo's Pizza"

[Reply #271 on:]

I'm somewhat enthused about this.

[Reply #272 on:]

Bah, they should drop Werewolf for Space Mutiny if you ask me.

[Reply #273 on:]

Paul, you is a werwilf

Awesome. Awesome to the max.
wish they had included Tom Servo too, how can I re-enact the show with only one bot?

[Reply #275 on:]

I just freaking want it back on TV. That is all.

[Reply #276 on:]

The episodes are First Spaceship on Venus, Laserblast, Werewolf, and Future War. I would've rathered Space Mutiny as well, Nurdy, but meh, at least we get something.

Oddly, people who bought this also bought Beast With a Billion Backs.

[Reply #277 on:]

They really should drop Werewolf for Space Mutiny.

"Big McLarge Huge!"

[Reply #278 on:]

Yeah, needs more Kalgon, Beef Hardcheese and crazy 4mph Floor Sweeper chases.
