wow, pretty great - background music kinda distracting but nice selection of riffs there.

Malcolm Mooney references Rocky Jones on The Lost Tapes!

In other news, I finally got the "Haitian Divorce" reference in Master Ninja II.

I've been watching (probably re-watching) these and yeah the Joel years are miles away better than the Mike years. At least in the overarching narrative/connective skits. You just can't beat Dr. Forrestor and TV's Frank as villains. I think season 3 is my favorite (Pod People still being my favorite ep).

I was thinking of watching some KTMAs on Youtube, anybody have any recommendations?

Yeah, watch seasons 2-7 instead.

Just kidding, I actually haven't watched much of the KTMA's tho. Can't really seem to settle into them.

really disappointed in the meager selection streaming on Netflix atm

The KTMAs are weird and mixed but there are a few I would earmark:

Phase IV
Cosmic Princess
Humanoid Woman
SST Death Flight
The Six Million Eyes of Su-Muru

there was a KTMA Gamera episode that is to date one of the funniest things they've ever done

The Gamera eps are all pretty classic

I've only seen a couple but I didn't get the point. Why not just rent the original B-movies and come up with your own sarcastic comments?

LOL. Why go to the park and fly a kite when you can just pop a pill?

I'm watching "Space Mutiny" for the first time. 10 mins in and it's already amazing.

"Special Effects by Industrial Light and Morons"

An all time favorite.

it's the best!

Iirc this is the first mst3k either of us ever saw (at some choir competition or something?) Featuring the immortal "jailbait for gamera" line that no one else in the world seems to remember.

Timely!

ZOMG FOUND IT

One of the most mindblowing things I encountered in years was that so many KTMA eps are just on youtube. I just remember being on rec.arts.tv.mst3k like 18 years ago during freshman year and trading tapes, and how these were the ultimate prize.

Now you just pull anything up and there ya go.

Come to think of it, I knew the guys who swiped the Forrester stand-up photo-model from the first MSTie Con. I met them when I tried to write for the campus humor mag the next year.

irl LOLz during "Catalina Caper"

"Turn on, tune in, throw up!"

"I think they sent the wrong people to 'Nam."

the song where they make the band harmonize "We can't siiiiiiiiiing"

Weird fact -- that song the band are singing then is a Ray Davies number!

Tom Servo goes a little overboard in that segment.

Joel was on the nerdist podcast last week

he was great!

I was really gobsmacked by the realization that they were making an episode every week!

And that they did it 9/5, no overtime.

They said the trick was to schedule week or two week long breaks every so often, to give themselves a bit of a life!

Meantime, the woman who played Debbie in Manos is starting a blog about the experience. Obviously a must-read already!

Cool! We just watched the documentary on the MST3K disk that implied no one but the "make out guy" was still alive and willing to talk about the movie.

Ha, weird implication -- both her AND her dad, AKA Manos himself, are alive and well. Hell, he's appearing in the sequel.

TWENTY YEARS OLD TODAY, people

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR TORVALD
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

let's all stuff our pants with newspaper in their honor

det doot doot do det det doot

That's my lunch break taken care of!

"Good salesman!"
"Bad salesman!"
"Inka Dinka Doo!"
"Now if you want to see your daughter again, you'll do..."
"Now let us pray. Lord..."
"Huh?"
"You could hurt me?"

INVISIBLE ELVES!!!

also...

"That's just one guy... its just one guy doing all those lines!"

I love Joel's tone through all that 'one guy' bit. He sounds so disappointed.

Complete stylistic antithesis: Servo's vacationing housewife monologue near the end.

"I'm inTENSly stupid!"

The lady acquaintance and I have been digging through the classics, watching miscellaneous Joel eps. She had never seen Mitchell, we just watched that the other day and boy, does it still hold up, totally worthy of its classic status. Really don't know if I could even make a top ten riffs from it, just so consistently good.

Put 'em on your feet! Give your dogs a treat! What a comfortable shoe...

"Great big buttery moon up there...sidewalk looks like ice cream if you squint right..."

lool i love mitchell

the scenes with the hooker-girlfriend are my favorite

i can't remember any lines but if you say them i will lol @ them

"3M ... innovation ... research ..."

"This is a police investigation!"
"Oh, really, I thought it was just some slob wandering around my house."
