THEY'RE BAAAACCCCCKKKKK!!!!
To those unfamiliar with me in general, you'll know or soon to find out i am a HUGE Mystery Science Theater 3000 nerd. And announced back in November of 2007 the creator of MST3K Joel Hodgson started a new riffing project with him, Trace Beaulieu (voice of Crow and Dr. Forrester), Frank Conniff (TV's Frank), Mary Jo Pehl (Pearl Forrester) and J. Elvis Weinstein (orginal voice of Tom Servo). There was a lot of hoopla about this, as it seemed like competition for Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett's Rifftrax and Film Crew. But in my opinion, any new MST3K that we can get, i will gladly accept with open arms.
Their first episode was riffing on the movie The Oozing Skull, or also known as "Brain of Blood" but due to rights issues, but they changed the name of the film as one of the producers of the film thought it was create "marketplace confusion" yea, like theres such a high demand for people to actually see this film. This movie is a straight exploitation film, no doubt about it, and its pretty bad too, the dialog is horrible, and the editing is even worse. But lets get to the actual riffing.
It was really nice to see the original crew back together as its been a solid 14 years since we have seen these guys back together. And they haven't skipped a beat it seems like. The riffing was hilarious from the group riffing they did, to the acknowledgment of Trace's cheesy jokes. They added a really cool interactiveness to the movie also, like having Trace on a cherry picker, cleaning the make-up off one of the actors in the film and having Stephen Hawking's come out, asking for a brain transplant after the movie was over. I had a smile on my face the entire time, not just from the laughing but just because it was nice seeing all these guys back together again
. I eagerly await the next Cinematic Titanic episode, as this was a hilarious new project and considering we really can't get a lot of new riffing on cheesy movies as Rifftrax is just riffing on current movies and The Film Crew is done, all im doing is relying on my MST3K dvd's.
"CANN YOUU FEEELL!!!!!"
