MST3K: Wizards of the Lost Kingdom
MST3K: Wizards of the Lost Kingdom II : So David Carradine, as the heroic the Dark One, and his exotic dancer wife and the comedic incompetance of the "heroic" wizard leads actually elevate this to Hawk the Slayer levels of terrible.

Master of None, s.2 : I know not everyone likes them, but some of my favorite bits involve show runners Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang's parents.  Sure they can't act and thus give very stiff line readings, but that adds to their charm for me.  And while I didn't hate Francesca, her latter story lines definitely felt the weakest.  Hopeful that Ansari and Yang do a 3rd season.

MST3K: the Loves of Hercules:  Just when you think the art of fx monstering couldn't get any lower we meet...the Hydra.
MST3K: Yongary: Well, this Korean kaiju is certainly no Hydra or Beast of Hollow Mountain.  But it sure ain't no the Host either.
Sens8. s.2:  I love this show and I love the cluster but I'm really starting to notice how movie magical hacking Nomi and her crew's haxxors are.
Dear White People, s.1: Oh this was good.  Even better than the movie its sort-of a sequel to.

Mostly more of the MST3K relaunch.

MST3K: the Time Travellers
MST3K: Avalanche: Avaaaaaaaaaalanche
MST3K: the Beast of Hollow Mountain: Dullest cowboy vs. dinosaur movie ever.
MST3K: Starcrash
Chewing Gum: British comedy, so only 6-episode season. 20-something poor black woman and sex, drugs and family.
MST3K: the Land That Time Forgot: Before we even get to the dinosaurs (which of the three dino-themed movies so far, actually look the best) we have a U-Boat torpedo a ship. The survivors of that ship (including the token American hero and lady love interest/biologist) then capture the U-boat. Then the Germans take it back. Then by the time we get to the lost continent the Allied side is back in charge with no explanation.

Documentary Now: S2. I generally haven't seen the original docs they're parodying, but there send up of "The Kid Stays in the Picture" is just fucking perfect in every way.
Pacific Heat: This was a poor choice. Like Archer if it wasn't funny and was poorly drawn and was Australian and just suuuuuuuuucked.
Captain Fantastic: If I could be anyone as a quasi-cultish off-the-grid dad attempting to raise a little army of "ideal" people its Viggo Mortensen. Also that attempting to raise a family totally off-the-grid is just not the best idea.
MST3K: S11 - "Reptilicus" & "Cry Wilderness". Only two episodes in, but so far I think the jokes were a little bit better for the 2nd (though the fx in the first really is just laughably bad).

Once there was a lonely giant, gila monster. Who wandered the scrublands never really hurting anybody. Except for some people who got dragged off and eaten. And that train crash. But aside from that. But the world is full of people. And not so full of giant, gila monsters. Which is why some jerk teens, with their drag racing cars and rock and roll music, had to go and blow up the poor lizard. Who had never done no one no harm. Except those people it ate. Who really, on a global population percentage wise, barely counted at all...

With Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett and Mike Nelson this collection very much feels like "classic" MST3K. And it helps that the shorts they picked to work with are just ludicrously dumb. Even more so than many of the ones I remember from the original show...

Roger Corman teaches an important lesson. When four escaped female convicts are searching for diamonds in a swamp its important they cut their jeans into short shorts to show off their legs to their male hostage...

Also Tom Servo is unlucky in love. Poor, poor Tom. Smart, smart Gypsy...

Well, this second one is better than the first. Still fairly dull. And sadly I've heard the future episodes are even worse. Still there's always "The Film Crew" and "Rifftrax" for filling my new MST3K fix...

1. Space battle sequences ripped off entirely from classic BSG episodes.

2. There is some guy named Kalgon who is evil.

3. There are weird Space Witches.

4. Space Discos require people to use hula hoops.

5. Nothing about this damn thing makes any kind of sense.

6. Skits with Pearl, Ape Guy and Albino Brain Dude = NOT FUNNY

A return of the MST3K crew, doing commentary on some movie where Rue McClanahan is a stripper. Sadly, the old magic doesn't seem to be there. Its ok and mildly amusing. But it doesn't have the bite or humor of the classic show. Maybe future efforts will be better...
lurkerwithout: (Obey me eyes)
Messing around on the computer while I have MST3K going on in the background. Right now its "Hercules Unchained". So very, very bad. Man I miss this show...
