Haven't seen this one yet. Damn, what a wonderful show. When they were on their game, they were fucking brilliant! I just bought 5 DVDs of old episodes (ones not offically released) and man, it takes me back to high school. Favorite episodes (other than Manos... brilliant stuff, but that one has got to be in everyone's top 3)? Favorite lines? Let's try to stay away from any Joel vs. Mike stuff. It's been done to death, and in any case, they both had their good points. My favorite episodes would have to be Attack of the the Eye Creatures (what, did Mel Tillis write these credits?), Mitchell (hey, is that a beer?), and Laserblast ('So. We're watching someone waiting for someone?' and 'Yeah, you can never have enough sheet cake.').
My favorite episodes were: Mitchell Texas Justice -both with Jo Don Baker! Devil Fish that time travel one that kept making fun of the Dodge K-cars that space alien one with the alien called "Trumpy"
I do too.. I use to watch it all the time when i had cable.. I still remember one of the funniest lines from one of their episodes that they said.."you think you are hot snot on a golden platter, but all you are is a cold stale booger on a paper plate" haha yeah...
My three favs: -Mitchell -Alien in L.A. -Village of the Giants but there are so many other good ones. I wanna get all the DVDs, I just wish they weren't so damn expensive! I still have a shitload of VHS though that I taped from when they were still on comedy central.
-The Final Sacrifice. This is, the worst thing to ever come out of Canada. Another Classic Rousdourism. - Squirm I actually saw this on Cinemax the other day... like, the actual movie, it was horrible. -The Giant Spider Invasion 'It's a giant spider invasion of savings at Menards." Spider Breaks into the house, girl starts screaming "We're out of whiskey!!!!" ANd the movie, This Island Earth was great too.
The Screaming Skull was great. Notable quotes: The Gospel speaks of losers like you. Get a box! To think a bassoon player got a check from this movie. (background music through whole movie was nothing but a bassoon playing) Here Jenny, let me massage your epiglottis. (husband choking his wife in a rage) *faceslap on gardener* Hey Moe! It hurts! This boring scene brought to you by The Superfluous Society. The Irene Ryan Look-Alike Statue Don't worry, Jenny. There'll be other skulls. (Jenny can't find the skull that's been stalking her)
I forget the name of the movie, but they did this one about a 70s teenage gang and a lead character who looked like rocker Leif Garret. "If that's not Leif Garrett, I want my money back!" "Either this is America 20 years ago or Canada today."
And talk about being a desperate actor, one of the flop films they showed from the 70s had Adam West in it. You may remember Adam West played Batman in the 60s TV show.
I just remembered some more good ones: -Sidehackers -The Crawling Hand -The Brain/Head that Wouldn't Die
That was once the funniest show ever. then it became a show of material possessions. my favorite episode is the one with the worms eating people (worm: in a half an hour, we attack) and the huge spiders from space (hick: i gotta rush home and tell my friends about this. oh wait, i don't have any friends)
"So, in case you've just joined us... Manos. The hands of fate." Anyone catch San Francisco International? I just got that one on DVD but haven't watched it yet (waitin' for the wife to go out so I can smoke a bowl). It's a made for TV flick from 1970 (71?) with David Hartman (Crow: "Hey Dave, why the long face?") and Tab Hunter. One of their underrated episodes, and I haven't seen it in about 9 or 10 years. There are a couple of good sites where you can order DVDs (cheepstore.com is good). $6 ea. but he only sells episodes not available on Rhino, which nevertheless leaves a lot to choose from.
I was so disappointed when I heard MST3K wouldn't be on cable any more. I discovered it a few months before that sleeping over at my cousin's apartment; we'd go out on Friday nights and watch it in our underwear on Saturday morning and laugh like it was the first time in our lives we had laughed.
In the airplane time machine one: as they are running in a building from the bad guys "C'mon, I know where the snack machines are." and "So 100 years in the future, everything will look like a Mall today." (They were filming the future scenes in a mall.) The one with the witch, and the grandma who keeps killing people. And she cuts up a cop, and Mike says, "OMG, they are going to need Harvey Kietel to clean this mess all up." This is the best show ever. My dh can't understand why I think it is so funny, but he'll stand in the doorway laughing at it as I watch it.
I have to vouch for the planet of the apes episode, as I remember watching when I was really young with my dad, he laughed is ass off, but I just remember the monkeys being funny lookin. Then I watched it a couples years later, and I just howled. I wish I could by some of the dvd's but they are way to expensive. do they even have it on television anymore?
HOBGOBLINS! is the best one HANDS DOWN! they even said it was the worst movie ever and eventually made cardboard cutouts to get out of seeing it.
