Best host here

Murphy Servo > Trace Crow > Mike > Corbett Crow > Joel > Jonah > Yount Crow > Baron Servo > Weinstein Servo

The RiffTrax group (Mike, Kevin, Bill) all the way. Thats right I liked Bill's Crow better, Crow became more of a sarcastic jerk with the Bill voice. Never cared that much for Joel, I guess the host segments were better under him, but I never watched the show for that stuff, I only liked the movie/riffing segments anyway.

Where do i start with this show?

The best comparison I've seen is that Joel legitimately loves bad movies, and Mike loves hating bad movies.

It kind of explains their differences in humor.

Though, I did appreciate Mike's delivery more. Joel was always like listening to someone nervously give a speech in class.

Trace's Crow > Murphy's Servo > Joel = Mike > Picard > Janeway > Sisko = Archer oh shit I what thread am I in?

The hosts are an illusion, what's truly crucial is the movie itself. The funniest riffs come from the absoute worst movies. Talented, proven riffing talent, attacking a reasonably competantly made movie is nowhere near as funny.

Anywhere really
Except for the new stuff. I haven't watched any of it but i'm assuming it's not as good

Well said.

The new version with Jonah Ray is so fucking bad. Dont watch it

You can jump around for movies that look interesting, try different seasons for different voicework too. Or start from the beginning, it really doesn't matter

There's the loosest of continuity, literally the theme song says
"If you're wondering how he eats and breathes, and other science facts, just repeat to yourself 'it's just a show', I should really just relax"

Watch some season 4. If you dont quite like it, try season 5, and if not, season 9. If you don't like it at all, then you don't like it.

I personally think the Sci-Fi years were the best. Well actually the host segments were at their worst those years (never cared for Pearl and her retarded goons. the host segments died after Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank left) but the movies they did during those years were some of the funniest. Plus I'm just partial to that line-up. Probably why I enjoy RiffTrax way more than that shitty rebooted MST3K

Got a favorite episode(s) you'd recommend?

I like new Crow more. Idk what’s wrong with me. Trace sounds so...idk, forced maybe,when he delivers lines except as Forrester.

Oh, agreed. The content makes all the difference. The personalities are just a really good bonus

This 100%, I legitimately don't remember a single time any Joel episode actually made me laugh, yet there were times I'd have tears in my eyes laughing at Mike episodes

Two of the best, most accessible and most well known episodes are Space Mutiny and Time Chasers.

Start there, then check out Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, Final Justice, Boggy Creek II, and Mitchell.

Mike > Joel, don't let anyone tell you differently.

The boggy creek creature 2 is the first one that comes to mind.
It's been so long i can't really remember any more.

same here Joel's sleepy voiced delivery never worked for me. Mike had a sarcastic tone that was just so much better for riffing

Not the user you were talking to but I'd recommend Final Justice, Soultaker, and The Final Sacrifice. Probably my 3 favorites

Yeah I never liked the tryhard playlets that led nowhere, but there were several times Frank and Dr F worked.

Catalina Caper is like every black guy's caricature of white people, I'm surprised there are no rap videos that draw on it. It's of the mid-sixties beach teen genre that the Family Guy Hic-A-Doo-La sketch is referencing.

Night of the Blood Beast is one of my favorites despite being in the "People stand around looking at each other for 80% of the film" genre

I want to like it, but it's so boring. Give me Daddy-O any day.

Alas, poor Yorick! She threw him well!

I love how they constantly ridicule Japan in the Prince of Space and Invasion of the Neptune Men episodes.

How did they get away with cambot saying

Why did they kill the original Cambot?

I can see that, since it's literally rich people who don't work for a living goofing off on yachts, with musical numbers but without actually advancing a real story, but I was won over by how dumb it was.

That's what makes Daddy-O work. It's low class blue collar workers as wanna be mobsters and drug dealers.

Based. The only thing Trace had over Bill was he was better at impressions

Mitchell!

This. Aside from the overwrought host segments its a hilarious episode.

Great episode, also its sequel: Final Justice.

>t assblasted "filmmaker" who got his film savaged

I always lose it at the end when the big creature starts talking to them with the dead doctors voice.

I'm gonna be sad when I finally catch up on all the Rifftrax they've done. I'm getting there, I'm gradually watching them faster than they're releasing them.

This was by far the best trio. Crow was way better when he was a sarcastic dick played by Bill.

Haven't seen that one yet, though I do have it downloaded. Ended up watching some various shorts this evening and next movie on the agenda will probably be Saw. Although I'm looking forward to watching more James Nguyen after Replica fucking blew my mind. And that goddamn crossdressing driftwood statue or whatever the fuck it was in Santa's Summer House, Christ.

>Janeway above Sisko
What a fucking faggot.

Final sacrafice and Prince of Space are my all time favorites. Zombie Nightmare is a pretty accessible one I think.

Also, Overdrawn at the Memory bank.

DONTCHA GIVE MIKEY NO MATCHES

Crank whore?

i always remembered that being hilarious on the summer movie spectacular special and then they did it again when they did titanic live and it got applause. what an obscure reference

While the Netflix series DEFINITELY has many, many conceptual problems, none of them are in the actual writing. The movie riffing is still great, the host segments are still great, and the songs are are still great.

It doesn't really matter. You could start at the beginning, or pick and choose what movies sound interesting. I recommend The Brain that Wouldn't Die since it's Mike's first episode and a great episode in general.

My favorite is Hamlet but a lot of people hate it. Pod People and the Gameras are some of the best Joels, Overdrawn and Spcae Mutiny are some of the best Mikes.

Also, it's great to hear more modern yet still old references.

The writing is at best half as good, which is worrying because they actually have a lot of the old writers. Other than Mike, who is everyone's favorite host, and before that head writer ...

It's an interesting film, I mean, what the fuck is Khan doing dubbing a German Shakespeare movie? That alone keeps my attention

Watch it, you don't want to get Mooned.

Correct

The best Rifftrax are so dumb that they are as funny on repeat viewings:
The Guy From Harlem
The Apple (this is a serious contender for worst film ever made, and features the hideous green car Homer designs in an early Simpsons episode)
Samurai Cop (I think this is the hardest and most I have ever laughed at a bad movie)
Miami Connection

Hover cambot is better.

It is destiny that the wierd awful new-money mcmansion in Santa's Summer House and Talking Cat be used for a Manos remake.

I'm watching Track of the Moon Beast right now.

But there's a Mantis in my Pantis

why did that season have so many characters named paul turning into monsters?
i remember a scifi season where there were like 7 movies that had evil hypnotists. did they plan it that way?

While they were on Sci-Fi they had to limit themselves to space/horror/magic movies, which concentrated the amount of hypnosis.

This is important. Old eps are great, but sometimes it's like playing an old edition of Trivial Pursuit, and it needs an update. Hard to fill the shoes but new guys seem like they care and do a good job

It's nice that while they did a relatively recent movie (Atlantic Rim), it still didn't beat their earliest movie/episode release span.

Frank Conniff was the guy actually selecting movies until he left and there are definitely efforts to make patterns (especially when you hit a goldmine of sub-shlock like Coleman). I don't know who picked for the Sci-Fi period.

The show never recovered after this. There are some bright spots but this lacks the consistency of S3-S5 MST3K

The worst parts where when they interact with the bosses usually in the beginning and end of it. But even then the OG bosses were pretty comfy

Except it literally did because they got to do some "normal" movies in season 10.

It's not the same, MST3k was always filled with incredibly obscure references and you aren't going to get more than 75% of them unless you grew up in Minnesota in the 60s - 70s, which the writers did, they were joking about things they knew about that were 20 to 30 years old when the show was airing. That Bionicle reference sounds like pandering because it's from a few years ago, whoever wrote those lines was certainly an adult when it was relevant, it's tailored towards the audience instead of sounding organic like something the characters would actually know of and joke about.

Yeah the new one decided that what was missing was *explanations* of the various little show features, so their commercial bumpers are OJ Simpson explaining how stuff works and other science facts.

Bionicle is nearly 20 years old.

>robot characters wouldn't know or joke about robot toyline
u wot m8

A lot of what they talk about was not just Minnesotan but pan-boomer -- for the boomer period, there were only three TV channels, and everybody watched largely the same shows, so there was really one coherent mainstream culture.
I grew up with Nick at Night partly reproducing this: Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, F Troop, Mr Ed, Jeanie and Bewitched, Dick Van Dyke, Get Smart, and of course Dragnet. Strongly recommended.

And the writers are all 40-50 years old, they're pandering to you, not referencing things from their childhood like Joel and Mike were.

>you are now aware that bionicle is nearly twenty years old
>I don't have all the necessary parts to assemble ... these feels

Puma Man, he flies like a moron!

Speaking of old robot toylines...

buddy who gives a hot fuck
maybe they had kids that like bionicle if it matters that much to you.

The only people who think Joel was better are people who got too invested in the skits.

What were the best skits?

Bear and Dog.

Mike had some of the best skits tho
