My blog: MST3K, Rifftrax, and Beyond

I added a few more unriffed flicks to my collection. As a good luck charm, I bought Olive's blu-rays of Fire Maidens of Outer Space and The Space Children (I already owned The Deadly Bees), in hopes that maybe somehow karma will roundabout into a Volume 40 release with those titles. I haven't cracked those open yet, but I'll get to them.

While I was looking at blu-rays of MSTed films, I took the opportunity to order Code Red's release of Devil Fish also. This is one I was eager to take a look at, since I have a weird fondness for the episode. Picture is pretty good, though it looks a bit DNRed with frozen grain, and there are some print flaws still present, but slight.

I didn't have time to watch a full movie before bed, but I skimmed it. Interesting notes: That prologue with the middle age couple being attacked by the Devil Fish was actually taken from the middle of the film and tacked onto the beginning of the edit seen on MST, which I presume was done to get to the Devil Fish faster (the opening of the film here is the synth opening credits followed by the helicopter pulling the body out of the water). There's also a slight subplot scene of a woman who is murdered because she threatened to expose the government's link to the Devil Fish. I wondered if maybe the scene was cut for time, then the agent sent to kill her rips her robe off and she spends most of her death scene topless and in her underwear and thought "Okay, that's why it's not in the MST version."

I also had to compare the "I let one out for fun" scenes. Yup. There's definitely a surprise for the viewers there. It's a little shadowy, but it's there.

After the cancellation of the 1996 kids' show "VR Troopers", the cast and crew got drunk together and dubbed over the show for their own entertainment

Oh dear.  Rifftrax just ruffled an Audrey Hepburn/Cary Grant movie.  My erection is real.

Just saw the theatrical screening of Rifftrax's Jack-O. I give it a thumbs up, so when this one hits VOD it's worth your money.

Interestingly before the main feature they riffed a short on Halloween Safety. Frank and Trace riffed this exact same short last night during their live stream, so wow. Two different riffs on this thing in two days. I don't even think it's new to the riffing world, because I believe Bridget and Mary Jo riffed it during a Halloween special a while back.

Eat My Dust. Battle Beyond the Stars. Movies I’ve recommended at the Film Club but PG Cooper & Dracula say I’m trolling. I guess Patton Oswald is a troll too.
