SoL-Mates: Love and MST3K

With Thanksgiving on the horizon, we're feeling fowl and so we come to you with this poultry offering "The Chicken of Tomorrow!" (Oh - and we also watched The Brute Man, too.)

Host segments: A grim reminder ahead of the holidays; you can tell a piano teacher by their scales; shakin' down blind ladies in the 40s; we get Clayton now; Jeffe's grandpapa; an A movie becomes a B movie; a timetable for creeping; exploitation films and disability; grumpy grocer supremacy.

Happy Spooky Season! Join us for the horror that is Hillbillys in a Haunted House  - but, it's not horror for the reason you're thinking.

Host segments: The Hee-Haw -ification of horror; the definition of a hillbilly; Lon Cheney was not a healthy man; ARE YOU FERLIN HUSKY?; the corrections just write themselves; Merle Haggard's ghost v. Kevin Murphy; that one guy you know who gets killed by a gorilla; and they're the ones writing it off; but what if it was The Monkees?; Joe Don and the Ape.

Once again, we're swapping spoopy movies and talking about them. This year it's Neil Marshall's Dog Soldiers (2003) and Cottage Country (2013).

We're continuing our slog through the series that must-not-be-named, and we're at that darn Chamber of Secrets. 

Host segments: Malfoy v. the community center; Devori wouldn't say no to Quidditch on ESPN Ocho; Jeff's personal Chamber of Secret (Porn); not an abomination before God; HP fanfiction and Manacled; no ethical choices in capitalism; maybe Azkaban was the friends we made along the way; now it gets good; cutting Steve DiSchiavi loose on these kids.

What is there to say about City Limits? Evidently, a little under 90 minutes worth.

Host segments: Demandy; this movie gives Jeff some unreasonable standards for comic books as aphrodisiacs; it's kinda every postapocalyptic kids-on-bikes movie; what is up with Ray?; the ultimate desk job; Joe's new conveyance.

It's an early Mike episode, so join us for Beginning of the End as we tip over into the beginning of the end of our MST3K journey! We're officially over the half-way point with what's available (not counting Rifftrax), so we've hit that milestone! And what a movie to hit it with, oof.

Host segments: Shakin' trees; dealing with large insects; Peter Graves' TED Talk; telling Joe the hard truths about sport peppers; It's energy, right?; Just locust things.; It's always a d**k!; Wayne and Garth vs. the Locusts.

In case you missed it, here's our Patreon live-recorded episode, in audio format for your pleasure! Join us as we revisit Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie for our 200th episode!

Host segments: live and unstable; this is how conferences work; what were you doing up there?; Denouement? never heard of it.; we touched FINGERTIPS; does Neutron survive?; where art thou, burger painting?; give Bunson Honeydew his moment.

Oofda - this was a slog, y'all - but we watched Project Moonbase  so you don't have to.

(CW: discussion of sexual assault/home invasion in film)

Host segments: bring me the moldering corpse of James Caan; learned helplessness is a bitch; front-facing Jeff means business; furry teeth; Jeff is banned from shot-putting; Cyclops vs. LaForge; communists love nipple-play; dangers of post-space coitus; Riker bi-panic; wall-sitters.

We're doing a YA-two-fer with Rifftrax's take on the dragon-riding...film...Eragon. News flash - it's not as good as Twilight, and that's saying something.

(Re: sound quality on the Kimbro end, at the time of recording Joe was in the throes of a covid infection and Devori was wearing a mask in a (vain) attempt to avoid it.)

Host segments: More tussin than man; ripping off Saga; Joe's peak interests re: dragons; the merits of Disembaudio; Jeff cracks the code; Joe is definitely grizzled.

For her birthday, Devori's subjected everyone to Rifftrax's take on Twilight. And it doesn't go as badly as you might think.

Host segments: ontologically speaking; let's talk about bland, baby; Devori defends her case; Edward is a gentleman; how dare you disappoint Elizabeth Reaser; a very good riff (mostly); looking forward.
