Mystery Science Theater 3000 is saved! Joel sold his share of the franchise after all his failed crowdfunding attempts and now Based Mike is taking back over.
holy kino
>RiffTrax has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the new episodes and to provide production updates to fans. lol, they milked the Joelfags dry now it's time to milk the Mikefags.
The way MST3k turned into two factions is such a bummer every time I'm reminded of it.
>the robots look the same but the humans are either unfunny s0yb0ys or old as fuckGrim
>>217737954>fsggot unfunny Joel is gone and Mike is taking overLETSGOOOOOOOO(no I didn’t watch the creepy Netflix jew rape of the show)
>>217737954That was Joel's greatest flaw: he couldn't license better B movies, and he was trying to keep the show PG. He was limited by budget constraints, and what could on tv at the time.
old PSAs > old movies. Can I make a request? https://youtu.be/j3O96ATQMrA?si=0gMQRA7dcHBFQ_TA&t=151
>>217738161I know that Mike is objectively old but it's weird how he went from looking much younger than Bill and Kevin to looking much older than them, like he had some private health problem
kek it's racing up while I look at itI didn't know kikestarter could do that
>>217738327I dunno last live show I saw Kevin on he looked bad, lost a shit ton of weight and all bony now
>>217738379It's got $100,000 more than that nowAlso 12 people have donated $2,000 wtf
>Joel wanted to focus on jerking himself off with elaborate sets, shitty prop comedy and fucking musical numbers>failed horribly>Mike, Bill and Kevin are just going to make fun of some shitty films with back-to-basics presentation>kickstarter already almost at 300kMike has always been superior although I wish Trace was back
>>217738001Mike can milk me any day
>>217738934>almost atIt's passing 400k right now
>>217738001>Joel asks for 4 mil>fails>Mike asks for 20k>over 400k already
>>217738984How much did Joel work up on his failed Kickstarters?
>>217739068About 2 million of his 4 million goal
>>217738209>>217738292>>217738106Early Mike > Late Joel > Late Mike > Early Joel
>>217737954As long as no more black zero, new woke named gypsy, no more soi boy faggot host Jonah Hill or wife killer Patton “Faggot” Osborne
>>217739224Cast looks straight up S8>Mike>Kevin Servo>Bill Crow>Brain Guy>Pearl>Professor Bobo
>>217739224>black zeroBlack servo*
>>217737954I got into Rifftrax in december. Sometimes I watch in bed just to get tired. It's pretty fun though, I like it. I wish they focused on genres I like though, I feel like I've almost watched all the 50s crime movies, the martial arts films and the blaxploitation flicks. A lot of the other stuff doesn't interest me a ton.
Imagine being Joel rn. Holy shit, Mike really was the sovl of the show.
>>217737954Oh fuck yes.
>>217738106for me it was crow being a nigger, than a girl or including patton oswalt, felicia day, and jonah ray to just tank the show
Nice, I still watch RiffTrax a lot but without the skits and the puppets it misses some soul, rifftrax feels more like they show up and clock their hours compared to mst3ki hope they bring trace back, i think he's very funny
>>217739061Kek
I remember when Mike vs Joel was a flame war topic, but now everyone loves mike and thinks joel is a tool. Love to see it. Always enjoyed the Mike episodes.
>>217739380>Crow with female voiceHahaha that sounds cringe afGot any clips?
>>217739406Similar thing happened with Kirk vs PicardThey were both big fanbases in their day, the Picard one evaporated somehow
>>217739061rags
>>217739380I was a huge fan of Felicia Day twenty years agoI wonder what the fuck was wrong with me
>>217739224>we can't call this robot Gypsy, because actual gypsies might get upsetDid they ever consult any actual gypsies, or was this decision made on behalf of gypsies without their input
I honestly know nothing about this apparently decades long drama based on making funny voices over movie clips and how that somehow split the fandom like the red sea and produced multiple shows and 24 hour streaming feeds. Just came here to say you guys are weird, never change. Much love.
Huh, so good revivals are possible after all.Hopefully the writing staff and process will be more like the original show, and not like whatever they were doing during the Jonah era.
Don't really see the point. Rifftrax has tons of subscribers on a mature streaming platform, live shows in theaters, their own videogame, and the ability to do more mainstream / 16+ movies. I'm not sure what they're getting out of the MST3K nameI guess they'll probably just make 4 special episodes and dump then on rifftrax.com and then forget about it
>>217739394>without the skits and the puppets it misses some soulI skip all the puppet shit. Maybe it's a TINY bit charming, but I have never as much as cracked a smile at one of their puppet bits.
>>217739473Joel was surrounded by ultrawokies who convinced him it was a bad word now even though no one likes gypsies. I honestly have no clue why he didn't call her "Gypsum" like in the pilot, "GPC" is so fucking clunky and gay to say
Holy shit, this is awesome - And this is someone who more or less liked the Netflix seasons. What happened? Did Joel just give up and throw the show in Mike's lap? Is he still involved?
>>217740195>What happened?Total financial collapseJoel's contract with Netflix ended and he tried to make his own NetflixIt looks like that was ruinous enough that he had to sell the rights to MST3k back to Shout Factory
>>217740195Joel sold his stake in MST3K to Shout Factory like a month ago because his recent attempts to revive it didn't work.
>>217737954Based! I love RiffTrax because it’s basically the best era of MST, loved the late SciFi era wish it lasted as long as the original Comedy Central run
>I’ve been incredibly lucky to spend my adult life making a living as an entertainer, and ‘MST3K’ has been a big part of it,” Hodgson said. “Creating your own comedic art form like ‘MST3K’ is deeply fulfilling and fun — but that doesn’t mean I’m required to work on it every day for the rest of my life. This move feels like the best way to encourage ‘MST3K’ to find its future, while I find mine, including the chance to focus on some new and different projects with fewer moving parts.

I love shit like old Sherlock Holmes movies and other old comfy mystery stuff, but on rifftrax it's always riffed by Pearl and some other woman. Should I give it a chance or should I continue to ignore it?
>>217740472>some other womanBridget Nelson, Mike's wife and writer/occasional actress on MST3K. I'd give them a watch, they may not be A tier but they can be pretty funny on occasion.
>>217740414>https://mst3k.fandom.com/wiki/Kelsey_Ann_BradyWhoa, Crow is hot.Now, if we could just get a season where it's just her and Emily... but without the puppets... and the cheesy movies... and they're a lesbian couple... in fact, forget MST3K.
>>217737954>Joel abandons MST3K>Mike takes over and makes it more successful>Mike launches Rifftrax, it's a hit>Joel launches Cinematic Titanic, it sinks>Joel crowdfunds more MST3K, it stinks>Mike arrives to save the day againIs there any mess this man can't clean up? Make him an honorary janitor.
>>217740576She sounds unfunny and wrong for MST3K. Someone just wanted to get laid.
>>217737954Thanks op.
>Crow and Servo (and hopefully Gypsy) won't have all the unnecessary upgrades to them from the Netflix/Gizmoplex seasons>The sets are all just the same cobbled-together-by-hand oversized crafts projects they were beforeThank fuck. Hopefully the theme song will just be Mike singing it like before and not some cover band trying to jazz it up.
>>217740611>She sounds unfunny and wrong for MST3K.Oh, I agree, I don't like her as a voice for Crow at all. But she's still hot.
>>217740593>Make him an honorary janitor.But not all the time. Only when he applies for it. So only temporarily. Like... a temp worker...
netflix mst3k looked so reddit that i couldnt even give it a chancerifftrax is usually okhope they have success>>217738106also this
>>217738106Only assholes pick a side, I love all MST3k
>>217739394Trace and Frank are doung The Mads Return show on their own
>>217739224I've considered the rifftrax guys a little sus ever since I got an email from them announcing an 'indigenous peoples Day' sale, but I guess we'll see
>>217740737Yes, and of the 4 or 5 episodes I saw it wasn't very funny but they had gone hyperwoke.
>>217740688yes, only assholes pick a side. Except that Joel sucks ass and he's the worst part of the first few seasons and we're all actually glad he left
>>217737954>Just saw this on YouTube>”Maybe I’ll go start a thread on 4ch-“>Not only is it there already a thread, it’s fairly popularThat’s the power of Mike and the real bots. I’ve warmed up to some of the reboot episodes, but they’re still not fit to shine the shoes of the OG show. Easily the biggest news to come out of Minnesota this year.
>>217738001The difference is that Mike, Kevin, and Bill have still consistently made good shit for the last 20 years. Nu-MST3K was theater kid faggotry.
>>217739464I know a lot of nerds who were, I never thought she was anything special and I'm still baffled by it. It's like she was the dork Paris Hilton, famous for nothing.
>>217740414>attractive human female voice coming out of an "ugly" characterThat is my fetish.
>>217740785This, except I never watched the new slop. I did listen to Riffrax of course.
>>217740767No idea where Kevin sits, but Bill and Mike are so politically opposed that it's an old fashioned boomer miracle that they have remained friends all these years
>>217740472The stuff the get assigned to usually fits their style, and I think it's the same writers too. I like what I have seen.
>>217737954Mike looks British now?
Given this is the thread, what's your favorite Mike-era episode?Mine is Night of the Blood Beast and the fucking weird short about selling phones that preceded it
>>217740987Overdrawn at the Memory Bank. I actually kinda like the movie too, even if it's unwatchable without them riffing it.
>>217740987notbb is pretty gud. I'm a fan of Squirm or Final Sacrifice>>217741025Overdrawn is pretty great
Boggy Creek II über alles.
>>217739820Same, I feel like a fake fan fast forwarding as soon as the doors start closing lol
>>217740987overdrawn at the memory bank or final sacrifice >this is where the fish lives >i’ve been a round kid, and a square kid

I LIKE JOELbut invention exchanges always sucked
>>217741190Please let this be a real product.
>>217737954I actually prefered Rifftrax where they didn't play roles and riffed on bigger films. Especially their Twilight or Star Wars commentaries. But they stopped doing those years ago.
>>217738934how do i know a zoomer made that
>>217737954This is great news.
>>217739394>>217739820>>217741063A humble offering convince you:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7fKab9XpW0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfBr5l4S63Q
>>217741223It is, and if you search rowsdower ipa it's not even the only one. It's just local brewers as far as I can tell.
>>217741235I completely understand why they hate that shitThey put in the effort but you can tell that James Cameron's Avatar interests them less than some 1950s feature about an asbestos salesman chasing his wife around VancouverThe one exception to this was Twilight. Twilight was the biggest movie ever made that was also pure MST fodder.>...line?
>>217741208The first MST3K I ever saw was SST-Death Flight on channel 13 affiliate KCPQ sometime in 1989 or more likely a re-broadcast of that in 1990. So I will always love Joel and appreciate him...and have even been to one of his live shows back in 2017 and it was perfect and funny, but I prefer Mike.
>>217741272Nice. I don't even drink, I just want an empty bottle. It needs to take up space in my domain.
Never watched a single episode of Rifftrax. Any episodes you guys personally enjoy?
>>217739457Bless you
>>217741324The Star Wars Holiday Special Rifftrax is pure magic.
>>217741324Just about anything but the big budget movies. They were way off base with what people wanted from rifftrax. I'd suggest the twilight movies, mostly because they're fucking awful.
>>217741324TwilightSamurai CopThe Guy from HarlemROTORLycan ColonySuburban Sasquatch

>>217741381>I'M BACK!
It feels like they did the Kickstarter just to make fun of Joel's failed attempts. What's the point of a Kickstarter for just 20k that hit its goal in 5 minutes when you already said you are going to make the show whether any goals are hit or not?
>>217740987incredible melting manit's such a stupid moviebtw what ever happened to paul chaplin?
great news. this will be better than netflix era no matter what
>>217741404He meant in the revival stupid.
>>217740737Frank isn't funny any more and just curses a lotTrace is afraid to be edgy
>>217741452I'm more than ok with Mike;et al living high on the hog and possibly having some of that go into more REAL MST3K, aren't you?Think of all the joy they're given us.I mean, of all the tons of money poured on so many despicable ventures, I am quite keenly okay with this one.
>>217741324Whizzo the Clown

>>217741324I've only been a fan of their for a few months, but>Fist of Fury>The guy from Harlem>Death PromiseI subscribed to watch these, but the bigger movies can be found on torrent sites. I really liked Cobra, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and Gymkata.
My favorite thing Rifftrax did is that they partnered with James Nguyen, director of Birdemic, to release his previously unseen first two films, "Julie & Jack" and "Replica"Replica is a particular masterpiece because the whole thing was apparently filmed inside a Sega CD game. It's free on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb4Emlj_pYABut I really have to recommend Julie & Jack, and going in blind. It turns out that every Nguyen movie has the same premise: An incredibly dorky autistic guy meets a dumb blonde and they fall in love and then something absolutely batshit happens (we all know what happens in Birdemic)But the big reveal that happens halfway through Julie & Jack is so retarded and implausible that the riff is just Mike, Bill and Kevin exclaiming "What? WHAT? WHAT?!" with increasing incredulity for 15 seconds.
>>217741547>filmed inside a Sega CD gamecome again?
Personally, I don't like to watch Rifftrax for movies that are already hilarious. I feel like it ruins funny scenes if they make a silly joke during a classic bad movie scene. In movies like Hard Ticket to Hawaii for example. For movies that are funny on their own, I prefer RLM.
>>217740807>It's like she was the dork Paris Hilton, I spent the 00s furiously cooming to her
When Patton announced on Twitter he was replacing Frank Conniff with a giant picture of him in the wig I replied "I thought whores were supposed to be pretty"
>>217741598>I prefer RLM.GTFO
>>217740775Assholes are centrists.
>>217739464To her credit, she seems like she was a nerd before it was cool. So she was essentially the prettiest nerd, by being 8/10. Now you can find amazingly hot women who are at least very good at pretending to be nerds.
>>217741635I've never watched any of that because of Patton's connection to it.
>>217741596I hoped the screencap got the point across. There's live actors, largely interacting with greenscreened low poly JPEG backgrounds. Including scenes that should have been very easy to shoot on location, like an interrogation room where all the furniture is now inexplicably 200% size.Like George Lucas does with $200,000,000
>>217741659>8/10She *was* a 6/10 at best, anon.
>>217741691>>217741659She's still got it!
>>217741726She unironically improved with age....in a low-res at least. God for her, though. I heard she married an old dude, but she actually loves him(?).Either way, she's set.
*Good for herGood God
>>217738434Hate those Hollywood phonies. God they were unfunny as fuck
>>217738934This is the real blackpill. Mike vs Joel is a pointless argument because it was TRACE who was the real heart of MST3K
>>217739194Because he wanted to pay off his Hollywood jerkoff buddies. For someone who left Hollywood stars then height of his stand up career because he didn't want to "sell out" Joel sure became a hollywood phoney later in life
>>217739473I have a little Romani on my paternal grandmother's side. I hereby bequeth Mike the right to call the big baby seat headed robot "Gypsy"
>>217741663Look I don't care that he murdered his wife, he's funnyBut Frank wasn't even asked if he'd reprise his role and that's dirty
>>217742210well then you better let him go!
>>217742245>he's funnyMeh. His George Lucas bit was funny, I grant you that, but nothing else he's done has been funny.
>>217738934Those overly-elaborate musical numbers in the theater pissed me off. They weren’t funny, and they went on forever.
>>217740323It's like him leaving the show all over again...
>>217740593Cinematic Titanic was kind of “meh”, but “The Alien Factor” was up there with the best of classic MST3K.
>>217740633Netflix MST3K felt like “Noah’s Arcade Presents: Mystery Science Theater 3000”. Overproduced for the sake of it, and the cringe ass celebrity guest stars were just awkward and drawn out, and seemingly only happened to be like “LOOK, IT’S JERRY SEINFELD/NEIL PATRICK HARRIS/MARK HAMMIL!”.
>>217739491it's not really drama between the cast, it's mostly a fan thing.
>>217740737>>217740771Based upon a brief visit to his X account, Frank is basically Patton Oswalt without the mainstream success, with the constant fucking political seething.
>>217739820Even just having the silhouettes adds something
>>217742550
>>217740987Werewolf, probably, but that Sci-Fi era has some absolute bangers. >Prince of Space>Space Mutiny>Time Chasers>Overdrawn at the Memory Bank>The Phantom Planet>The Pumaman>Werewolf>Hobgoblins >The Touch of Satan>Devil Fish>Soultaker>Girl in Gold Boots>Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders>Future War>Boggy Creek 2
>>217742532I didn't believe it either until I heard Mike's podcast where he reacted with genuine surprise to learn that Felicia Day was on MST3k (while talking about an audiobook she was narrating), years after the reboot had started
>>217742614You just recommended all of them you asshole
>>217740593Fun fact: Mike was an actual janitor at one point
>>217740576Looks like she had BPD
>>217742557I think having the non-human silhouettes is a good idea. I'm fine with the puppets and puppet shows, I just think they did a poor job making skits. I said the puppet skits have never made me laugh and that might be a slight exaggeration. But the Madds have NEVER made me laugh
>>217741324>Star Wars Holiday Special>Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny>Fun in Balloon Land>Galaxy Invader>Wonder Women>Shorts-stravaganza LivePlenty more, but those are the ones that jump out at me. Some beautiful bastard in a Joe Bob Briggs thread a few weeks back shared a link to a Mega that had basically the entirety of Rifftrax on there to download, including live shows that they’ve since lost the rights to, and will never see the light of day again, like the live shows of Godzilla ‘98 and Anaconda.
>>217742133The Sci-Fi era completely invalidates your argument.
>>217742716Well where is it then
>>217742133>t was TRACEI want to agree with you but his riffs with Frank are toothless
>>217742627That’s why I led in with Werewolf, if you’re just looking for one answer. I just mentioned the greatest episodes in those season (though I realize now I forgot Final Sacrifice). There’s plenty more in those seasons.
>>217742563This aged well
>>217742805He posted right after the murders. lol
>>217740987>Joel era: Pod People >Mike era: Final Sacrifice
>>217742869We all agree that the Netflix-Patton-era was a bad dream, yes?
>>217740472They're okay, but you know... You go to rifftrax for Mike and the bots, not two broads
>>217740472I really like Bridget and Mary Jo's stuff. I'd definitely recommend the Holmes movies.
>>217742892YesThe intro is so goddamn horrible and tells you nicely that it's an overproduced shitshowAll Joel's idea, toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inOmUh1AebE
>>217740593>Tfw
>>217741547Good news! Rifftrax's Julie & Jack episode is available for free on Tubi.
>>217740987Hobgoblins for best riffs and most retarded movieTime Chasers for most comfyFuture War gets a strong second place in all three categories Honorable mention for boggy Creek because the Indian chick in it has succulent thighs, if you dl the full movie she shows some nice pokies too I will never refer to The Bloodwaters of Dr.Z as "Zaat" like the RLM homosexuals want us to
>>217737954They should just keep doing Rifftrax, Mike's MST3k ended on a high note.>>217740987Space Mutiny
>>217742563Jesus Frank!
>>217740806I put off watching Rifftrax for the longest time. Really fucking stupid that it took the failure of NuT3K for me to take a gander at it.
>>217743121If they brought back The Film Crew and added the theater silhouettes that would be primo I think
>>217742892Not even worth mentioning
>>217738304Boy Plug?
>>217739061at 780k currently
>>217742970It really is like Joel completely forgot that it was supposed to be a comedy show...
I’ve have dreams about Coily the spring He’s a literal demon, I’m convinced. Don’t ever wish for a world without springs
>>217743290Fuck washers. I hope washers disappear.
>>217742970>Felicia and Patton having shit chemistry>Awkward celebrity cameos>Green screen out the ass>The bots are dull as dishwater, and have no distinct personalities>Black Servo ("I'm gonna have soul now!" - fuck off)>GPC>Not only is Crow randomly voiced by a female, she sounds like she thinks she's voicing a Sesame Street character>Overlong and unfunny musical numbers out the ass>The riffs have no time to breathe, and sometimes come so fast and frantic that they're riffing on top of one anotherThere are a few decent episodes during that era (Cry Wilderness, Avalanche, Starcrash, Mac and Me, Ator, Munchie), and Emily is a piece of ass, but those seasons were an abortion overall. I'm looking forward to the Mike episodes just because I know that I already like what those guys do with Rifftrax, and it'll have the added bonus of the Sci-Fi bots and Pearl/Bobo/Brain Guy back. I would honestly be fine if they dropped the SoL angle altogether, and just make it a slice-of-life thing where Mike and the bots are hanging out at home watching shit on TV or something, and maybe Pearl/Bobo/Brain Guy are their neighbors or something.

>>217743248Over 800K now.Whoo!I bet he ends up with almost 3 mill.
>>217743639>noooo don't make my favorite thing better not that!!
>>217742550Frank’s stand up when he was cinematic titanic was pretty good but he should drop the political stuff since it’s just not funny
>>217742892Cry Wilderness was funny
>>217743363Emily’s beyond Atlantis episode was decentShe should have just been the mad scientist instead of patton/day in the Netflix season
>>217740414Femcrow was honestly a cutie and had some good moments from what little I watched of those episodes. Wouldn't mind her being a part of the new series either.
>>217743673What the fuck are they gonna do with all that dosh if they already have the episodes produced
>>217737954Mike, if you're reading this, please do Night Beast. Between Rifftrax Galaxy Invader, Cinematic Titanic Alien Factor, and that, it would close out the Don Dohler "Cheesy Alien Murders Poorly-Acted Rednecks in the Woods" trilogy. Those movies are objectively bad, but goddammit if they aren't still charming as hell in spite of it, and a goldmine for riffing.
>>217737954This may sound controversial, but I think Nick Mullen would make a great mst3k host
>>217741726>Of course it's bubble gum pink
>>217743947Imagine trapping her soul in that puppet and then putting your dick in the beak and just seeing how she responds
>>217741463To my rough recollection, when everyone else went west to seek their fortune and glory in California after MST3K ended, he stayed at what was left of Best Brains with Jim Mallon. They did these weird early internet flash animations with the bots, but since Trace and Bill were both long gone, Paul did the voice of Crow in them.
>>217743981Pocket some of it hopefully. But for real I hope they do at least ten more episodes, if they end up with a few million that is.
>>217742133So true.
>>217742744https://mega.nz/folder/0rcwRJqQ#HoMshX9pF93TmHZO_CHKNAI'll pretend you asked nicely. I'm a little leery of sharing it, because I don't want Mega to notice and take it down, but what the hell. >Best of the Worst >MST3K>The Last Drive-In>Rifftrax>The Mads Are Back>Cinematic Titanic

>>217743947Nah, sorry. She's cute, but Femcrow was awful. I also didn't like nu-Crow's giant hands, or the fact that he blinked. What was even the purpose of all the different bot voices anyway?

>>217745315Bailed after he failed to get S14 funded and sold his remaining rights to Shout Factory, who I guess are the sole owners now.
>>217745424Cry Wilderness is a genuinely good episode. The riffs are good, the movie itself is bizarre enough just on its own, and I don’t recall anything particularly egregious in the host segments.

Sorry, what is going on in this thread? Joel sold his right to mst3k and mike is buying them?
>>217746533Joel pulled a George Lucas. Shout Factory and Mike own it all now.
>>217739256that was peak MST3k there
Joelfags lostMikeCHADS won
>>217746533>>217746549It looks like Joel had to sell the rights because he drove himself to bankruptcy trying to make his own streaming site
>>217746584Was there ever any doubt?
>>217746596At least this way Joel won't be broke anymore, and MST3K can go back to its former glory. Everyone wins.

>>217743146They have some good shit. Santa's Village is a personal favorite. I wish they would redo Troll 2 with the whole crew, the version they have is with Mike and Lowtax from something awful. They never seemed interested in revisiting it for whatever reason and now that Lowtax has offed himself maybe they just don't want to hear about it.For what it's worth I always thought Rich did a pretty decent job in it for a novice riffer and even had some of my favorite riffs in it (Uwe Boll's Donkey Kong)

PACKERS WOOOO
I appreciate how much more mean Mike is than Joel. I hope he does nuclear on this season. We've all been watching people vaporize themselves on LiveLeak for the intervening years since the SciFi show ended. Safe, sleepy, harmless jokes aren't gonna move the needle.I need hate crime level content. The old cast and crew aren't it.I'm friends with some of them and they are fucking STEWING. I asked one about it and he said he wasn't going to ruin his night by getting into it. So they're not involved. Thank fuck.
>>217742471War of the Insects is also great. The movie is absolutely unhinged.
The Revival Shit was just so try hard. There were episode were the riffers had to CONSTANTLY be talking regardless if they had a good joke or not.
I like Joel, I think Eegah and the Gamera movies are some of the best MST3K can offer. But if the Netflix and onward seasons of MST3K were his responsibility then I'm glad he's leaving. Again.
>>217737954this is twenty fives years too late
I worry they're gonna somehow try to sneak some of the reboot crap into this under the guise of saying SOME FANS LIKED IT. Which I doubt.>>217747845Joel had some good bits. I think Mike just bounced off the bots better.
>>217747273I'm here to call this anon a retardIf you're going to get into Rifftrax do NOT start with Rollergator, the movie is legit too bad to riff
>>217742667Kelsey or Emily?
>>217747845>I like Joelmost of my favorite episodes are from Joel it's just that Mike was consistently better the debate is just an excuse to argue or fueled by scifi channel babies
>>217743363>>Black Servo ("I'm gonna have soul now!" - fuck off)The ironic thing is that Kevin was far blacker and more soulful than Baron ever was.
>>217747896You want to Rifftrax you want to Riff Twilight. Remember when ripping on that was the thing to do. ...line
Joel fucking sucked ass
>>217743363>I would honestly be fine if they dropped the SoL angle altogether, and just make it a slice-of-life thing where Mike and the bots are hanging out at home watching shit on TV or something, and maybe Pearl/Bobo/Brain Guy are their neighbors or something.I am curious as to whether or not this is going to continue off of either the original show or the Netflix/Gizmoplex seasons, or if they're going to try and say these are "lost experiments" that happened before Danger: Diabolik.
>>217747986>"lost experiments" that happened before Danger: Diabolik.I think that might be hard to push given Mike's advanced..... Mikeness. Though trying to ignore that and play it off as a joke might be something.
>>217746979Eh, it's all good.
>>217744065Anon, Crow's beak is literally perfect biting-off-a-dick shape.
>>217742133Trace is gay. The objectively best episodes were all after that faggot left. Nothing made prior to season 7 holds a candle to anything after it (note: I don't consider new mst3k to be mst3k at all).
I could never get into this shit. Sometimes I watch shit with friends and we joke about it and ruff but I never liked watching these guys. I feel like they talk too much and if you never seen the movie before it's hard to follow it so you miss the jokes because they talk over the actors
>>217747655Mike aimed for the ground and made it to the sky. Joel aimed for the sky and said "Yes, but have you considered second sky?"
>>217747039>Santa's Village is a personal favorite.Based Stinky the Skunk enjoyer.
They asked for 20k and they've already made more than a million dollars in half a day.
>>217747986I hope they finally reveal how Mike eats and breathes, and other science facts
>>217747879>I worry they're gonna somehow try to sneak some of the reboot crap into this under the guise of saying SOME FANS LIKED IT. Which I doubt.While I wouldn't want them to be main characters in the episodes, I wouldn't mind the occasional cameo from Emily or Growler or whoever. And it'd be fun if they could get Pearl, Clayton, and Kinga all together in one episode. Maybe the finale.
>>217747896I don't disagree. It's legitimately uncomfortable to watch that not even the boys could save it. There's been a few like that. I felt the same about Monster a-Go-Go.
>>217748048>I feel like they talk too much and if you never seen the movie before it's hard to follow it so you miss the jokes because they talk over the actorsWhich incarnation are you referring to?Because the Netflix version was WRETCHED for that

>>217748104I never watched nu MST2K just the old one and some rifftracks
>>217748010>I think that might be hard to push given Mike's advanced..... Mikeness.See, unlike the Netflix/Gizmoplex seasons that used it to avoid dealing with major plot points, Mike suddenly being older for a few episodes is the exact sort of thing "It's just a show, I should really just relax" is meant for.>Though trying to ignore that and play it off as a joke might be something.Or this. Say the Bots accidentally exposed him to radiation or the Mads tried to experiment on him or something.
>>217747845I had to watch that movie a few times to realize that "Cornjob" was actually "Kon-chan", because he's Officer Kondo.
>>217748037>I don't consider new mst3k to be mst3k at allthe real nu-mst3k is the sci-fi era
>>217747222It literally exists right now but good luck finding a game. It's basically just a clone of what the dub.
>>217747986>"Wait...Pearl? Why are you here...and why are we back on the Satellite of Love?">"Shut up. Your experiment today..."I wouldn't hold it past them to just do something like that.
>>217741208The how was built around those invention exchanges. See, joel failed as a stand up prop comic but he thought his ideas were so fucking great that he devised a show just to showcase them in the hopes people would stop finding him incredibly cringe. Sadly for him, it didn't work.
>Joel era>Mike era>Joel reboot era>Mike reboot erayou can't make this stuff up
>>217741360I don't know. I remember kind of liking what they did with lord of the rings.
>Mike: "Hi, Gypsy! How's it going, Gypsy? It's good to see you, Gypsy! Always great to have Gypsy along with us.">Servo: "Uh, Mike? Why are you saying 'Gypsy' so much?">Mike: "I dunno, I just... I kinda felt like I had to."
>>217748277It would be even better if they played nice with Jim Mallon, and got him to voice Gypsy.
>>217745424Season 13's set in a fake Satellite of Love built on the moon with duplicate robots.

Claiming my moviefu
>>217748166Fuck off, joelfag. That was the pinnacle of the show.
>>217748074Bro, you need to relax.
>>217748300Wouldn't it just shake the fandom to its fucking core if this revival lead to us finding out that Jim actually wasn't an asshole after all, it was literally just a personal thing between Jim and Joel that didn't affect the others at all (or that they weren't even aware of it) and what we've been hearing all these years was simply Joel's side of things.
>>217748134Well, you'll be pleased to know that in the Netflix version the riffers talk twice as much, the movie is often entirely inaudible
>>217748371https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnzKgcWDcl4
>>217748416>>217748300Wait what happened? I tend not to pay attention to behind the scenes stuff
>>217748347I can see why Joel went bankrupt on the streaming service
Cinematic Titanic never really took did it? Though I guess Film Crew didn't do so hot either before they found Rifftrax
>>217748445Legend is that Joel and Jim disagreed on the direction to take the show in (Joel was against doing a movie, most notably), so Joel stepped down rather than let their conflict hurt the show. So ever since then, there's been a "Jim Mallon is a bad guy who forced Joel off his own show" narrative.
>>217748500I got a film crew dvd one christmas and was blown away that mike and the bros were still doing their thing. I liked that they still included host segments
>>217748555Yeah, Rifftrax is fun but I think some kind of framing wrap around would have been pretty great. Doesn't have to be robots in space but just something to break it up. Though I guess that doesn't work when you can technically only sell commentaries.
>>217741324I liked Birdemic and the credits from A Talking Cat?! were an all-time great for me.
>>217748604>>217748555>>217748500I have absolutely no insider knowledge about this but it seems like they tried and failed with The Film Crew, then Mike started Rifftrax by himself and within a few months had a proof of concept for that business model and immediately hired Bill and Kevin
This show was awesome back in the early 90s, then they brought on that new guy and it became unwatchable.
>>217748622Rifftrax has to be a cheaper overhead. I don't know how it works really but I don't imagine you have to pay any license fees to anyone if you're just doing your own commentary. From there it's just the name and history and you're off to the races.
surely they will get the rights to do all twilight movies right???
This thread has made me realize the only character I actively dislike is Pearl Forrester. And presumably multiple people in nu-MST3k, too bad I ignored that shit lmao.
>>217748692>I don't know how it works really but I don't imagine you have to pay any license fees to anyone if you're just doing your own commentary.That was exactly how it worked. They weren't technically using the movie, so they didn't have to pay for it.
>>217741324When A Stranger Calls Back
>>217748681I regret not watching the Mike years.
In Nu-MST3K's defense, Avalanche, Cry Wilderness, Mac & Me, and the kaiju movies are great episodes. The Roland Emmerich movie they watched for the Time Bubble Tour made for a great 'episode,' too.
>>217749737The Korean Gamera is one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen.
>>217748681>that new guyMike or Jonah? If you mean Mike you missed out on some absolute gold, anon.
>>217748209I'd rather they just go full Stockholm Syndrome (Mike missed being Pearl's prisoner and asked to come back) and give the dynamic that Mike and Pearl are working together to find that one bad movie to help Pearl take over the world. Meanwhile get Emily and Jonah to do a cameo and turn over the bots to Mike and Pearl because they wanted to reunite with Mike and run a storyline where the bots try and find out if Mike broke bad or if he's subjecting himself to torment because he's fundamentally broken and have the bots restore Mike back to his old self
>>217738292Joel blew all his budget on getting the rights to Godzilla movies, at a time period when Toho showed no interest in allowing parody or depicting Goji in a comedic context. However I'd love to see Mike do commentary for Godzilla vs Biollante
>>217748500Film Crew got killed by Jim Mallon. When Rhino rebranded to Shout Factory, a lot of contracts had to be redone and Shout had signed Mike and his crew to make a MST3K replacement because there was tension over Mallon not paying them royalties or money in general for the bonus material they were doing for the Rhino MST3K DVDs.Mallon meanwhile was pissed that Film Crew existed and basically told Shout that he'd renew his contract to let them make MST3K DVDs only if they killed Film Crew, which already had four episodes made and Shout was contractually obligated to release. So they told Mike, Kevin, Corbett that they wouldn't sign off on any new FC releases, which led to two things:1. The birth of Rifftrax explicitly to fuck with Mallon and Shout2. Mallon having to go crawling back to Joel, Trace, Frank, and even Weinstein to film said DVD bonus material, which is why for about 3-4 years, all MST3K DVD releases were predominantly Joel episodes and Kevin and Mike not in any bonus material.
>>217751254Confusing shit. Joel got the Godzilla films 100% because the films were considered public domain at the time due to rights issues over the dubbed versions being murky as fuck. It wasn't until around the late 90s when the US Godzilla film came out that Toei paid money to basically clear up the rights issues via their lawyers buying back the rights to the US dubs, which is why shit like Godzilla 1984's US. Dub is lost media and why the the films all now go by their original Japanese titles.
>>217749737they focused on quantity of jokes over quality of jokes, for some reason. i guess they didn't want to give us enough time to process the jokes and realize they aren't funny. anyway, "Ator, the Fighting Eagle" is the only good one -- the rest you mentioned are shit.
