I am not offended. The first time I tried watching the show I couldn't. I think it takes a little exposure to start working for some people.

I saw the theatrical movie. I was amused but on average I just rather watch a movie without it or better yet, not watch a bad movie at all.
I'd like to see them tackle the Keeper 1976. That would be the ultimate challenge for riffing.

That would be the ultimate challenge for riffing. See, now you're talking. You're open to watching an episode which might personally interest you. I'm of an age where the kinds of movies the guys riff are the ones I watched on TV as a kid, so I'm already usually personally interested. And, these movies have always been ultimately riff-able, meaning my buds and I would riff them ourselves way back then. This fact, of course, is the reason Hodgson got the idea in the first place and why it's been such a brilliant one. A host of baby-boomers forced for years as youngsters to endure and try to enjoy bad movies finally get our revenge.

I started watching the new season. I had to get used to the new guys, especially the new Servo. I don't like him flying through the theater. Sometimes I feel the jokes come too quick in succession. Anyway, I still think its funny. Yeah, I hate flying Servo. I also hate Gypsy's new voice! I like the Jonah guy alright tho. I'm happy it seems to have the same kind of wit as before

I am still watching old episodes. Today I watched "The Human Duplicators", "Teenagers from Outer Space", "Fire Maidens of Outer Space" (I see a trend here), and finally "Horrors of Spider Island". Tomorrow I might watch "Horror of Party Beach", "I Accuse My Parents" and "Prince of Space". The other night my husband decided to watch "Devil Fish". I tried to warn him, but he watched it anyway. It practically brought him to his knees, begging for it to end. And I thought "Red Zone Cuba" was bad.

I still love it. They kept the cheesiness factor that made it great to begin with. I find myself saying "la la la" when the intro plays.
To me, they did everything right. Plus, who doesn't love Felicia Day? She's awesome!

I saw "Cry Wilderness" last night and it was hilarious. The new season is great just like all the old one's.

Saw episode 4 (Avalanche) today. Once again, hilarious. It was such a terrible take on the stereotypical disaster movie formula.

I received in the mail today volume XXVII of Mst3k. It has "The Slime People", "Rocket Attack U.S.A.", "Village of the Giants" and "The Deadly Mantis". I can't wait to have a day to myself and have a viewing marathon.

They made a major error with the movie version by choosing "This Island Earth", as it's a great movie and doesn't really suit (or indeed deserve) the MST3K treatment. The current series revival sucks.

They chose "This Island Earth" because it was suitably spectacular for their first theatrical release. There are many memorable jokes, e.g.,

I found my husband a new ringtone to put on his phone. Here's a hint; "local color". Since my husband's name is similar, I think the "Matches for Mikey" ringtone was appropriate. It sure got a lot of attention when I called him at work yesterday.

Just to take this in a new direction: which do you prefer? Cinematic Titanic or Rifftrax.

I watched "Wizards of the Lost Kingdom" yesterday. Jonah and the bots did an amazing job riffing that abomination. Sometimes it's hard to believe that people actually made these movies. I felt sorry for Bo Svenson.

Leave "Mike vs. Joel" at the door. So in a not too distant past, sometime A.D. There was a guy named Joel, not too different from you or me. He worked for a couple of guys named Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank. He did a good job, but his bosses didn't like him, so they shot him into space. They made him watch bad B-Grade movies in an experiment to see which film would be bad enough to break his spirit. Then they'd air the film all around the world, turning its inhabitants into drooling morons they could rule. So Joel sat heckled his way through the films with robots he made out of the parts he could have used to Fast Forward or Remind the films. He eventually escaped. So they sent his replacement Mike up next and he was the token human aboard the Satellite of Love for the remainder of the series. The show lasted for 11 years on the air and even had a movie. Any Misties here? I love the classic MST3K!
If you look at my profile image or posting history on television boards, you'll soon discover I was a huge fan of the ORIGINAL incarnation of The Daily Show in the 90s (when Craig Kilborn was the host). Much like the 90s version of MST3K, The Daily Show in THAT era was a silly, light-hearted parody that DIDN'T take its seriously and focused on "irrelevant fluff" and poking fun at anything and everything in pop culture.
Then Jon Stewart took over in 1999, and within a few years, the tone, style and purpose of The Daily Show transformed 180 degrees (despite Stewart vowing back in 1999 that he WOULDN'T alter the format of the show, because "that would be like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa”) By 2003, The Daily Show had an entirely different audience and focus than the Craig Kilborn incarnation of the show. By the time Stewart left over a decade later in 2015, The Daily Show would be unrecognizable to fans of the 90s version, and only retained the "Dog on Fire" theme music, the "Back in Black" segment of Lewis Black doing crazy rants about stuff in the news that week, and the "Moment of Zen" closing (which itself had completely changed from its 90s format of being a clip of some random bizarre stuff to instead often being a clip of an "extended" part of a story they had covered earlier in the episode) When they announced MST3K would be revived by Netflix in 2017, I was VERY excited at first. YES! One of my favorite crazy parody shows from the 90s doing laugh-out-loud quips mocking everything and everything seen in old movies! Then the devastating news came down... the new HEAD WRITER of MST3K would be the SAME GUY who was head writer for Jon Stewart's Daily Show In Name Only: Elliott Kalan. A name that will live in infamy.I was crestfallen. It seems likely now that history will repeat itself. :-( I like the new cast of MST3K, and the opening and format looks much like the classic 90s version. But that special spark that made MST3K unique and crazy is missing. The same thing could be said of Jon Stewart's Daily Show during his first season -- it LOOKED just like Craig Kilborn's incarnation at first, but just wasn't as edgy or fun. Slowly, Stewart's people then took over and turned it into a partisan platform for Democrat Party talking points around c. 2003. (the first year of Stewart's Daily Show, it differed little from its predecessor's formula). The tone of the show became bitter, nasty, and angry. Stewart wanted the Daily Show to preach lefty politics in the style of "righteous indignation" and they are STILL stuck on that format 17 years later, even after Stewart is long gone and HIS successor (Trevor Noah) has a much more laid back style that doesn't fit that format AT ALL. I wouldn't be surprised to see them hijack MST3K and do the same. Within 2-3 more seasons, MST3K could have an entirely different feel and focus, if Stewart's goons begin to exert creative control over the show and wrestle it away from Joel Hodgson’s old guard. Once they take over and attract "new" fans who want to see Jonah and Bots spew the latest Nancy Pelosi talking point of the week, the newfound SJW fans will smirk about how the show has "evolved" and that it would be a "huge step backwards" to return the show to its roots as a lighthearted parody of everything. Jonah will be forced to parrot whatever Hillary Clinton’s views are on that given day. EVERY “joke” on the show will be about how “Republicans and Fox News are evil”. Jon Stewart supporters have already destroyed one brilliant late 90s TV comedy show and turned it into something ugly and unrecognizable. We CANNOT allow them to do it again and ruin everything that made MST3K cute, fun and appealing to ALL demographics. Elliott Kalan's so-called "humor" is vicious, hate-filled, partisan material that exists only to tear down everyone who disagrees with him and serve as a soap box for the Bernie Sanders/Occupy Wall Street/Black Lives Matter crowd. THAT is what MST3K will be about, 24/7, if he had his ideal version.For the good of MST3K, Elliott Kalan MUST go.
He has not begun to hijack the show for his own selfish purposes yet. He WILL try and WILL succeed if he has enough time to establish his 'control' over the show. Don't say you weren't warned. In the end, MST3K will either follow the wishes of the fans, or Elliott Kalan. Which side will YOU take?

Its just a matter of when.
