On episode two and really enjoying it. I also used to tape them off of sci-fi on Saturday mornings. I mostly watched the episodes with Mike and that Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy, so I'm still getting used to this crew. They are growing on me though.

Episode 3 is the Time Travelers.
My local scifi channel showed this nonstop last month. Nice to see it riffed.

It was pretty good especially the:

Welp, guess I know what I'm doing on Easter Sunday.

Episode 4, Avalanche, is the best one yet. And the movie was surprisingly high budget for how awful it was.

I couldn't be happier with this as an original fan.
I'm 5 eps in and it's great. You can tell the people involved wanted it to be right. Probably doesn't hurt that Joel is involved.
The references are a nice mix. Seems like they are going out of their way to do older references for OG fans than millinenials would never get.
ET games buried in the desert and the turtle/pirate drawings are good examples. No one under 40 gets jokes like that and they are mixed in.

The monster rap is now one of my favorite bits from this show, right up there with chicken volume counting man.

The movie selection has been pretty great (bad). We've had movies featuring Rock Hudson, Mia Farrow, Doug McClure and David Hasslehoff...and that's just what I've seen so far.

I'm appreciating the classic MST3K callbacks from this crew. Heard a "this is where the fish lives" in 5 and "Pumaman" in 6.
ETA: Bionicle references in 6? This is definitely an updated MST3K.

The "rowsdower" in episode 2 blew my mind.
It's surreal to see the silhouettes, bad movie playing and hearing about things like facebook/etc.
I loved it.

Starcrash is the real gem.
It doesn't even need the brilliant MST commentary.
From an IMDB review of just the film...
This movie is completely insane. The plot makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, which is pretty much par for the course with Italian knock-offs like this.
The special effects are colorful and eye-popping, the sets designed by some wonderful nut with an eye for that crazy psychedelic-art-deco-cocaine-disco-Flash-Gordon look that Italians do so well. The actors are completely at a loss as to how to act/react to the film they are in and... I loved it.
What else can one say about a film where the best performance is delivered by....David Hasselhoff. Scary but true. Not even the usually mesmerizing Marjo Gortner can do anything with the logic-defying lines of dialog he is forced to utter. After 10 minutes I was laughing so hard I knew I'd found something unique.
I rarely venture down the road of "so cheesy it is good" movies but STARCRASH is mind-boggling in its cheesiness. Characters can tell the future but won't let anyone in on what is going to happen because "You would have attempted to change the future...which is against the law." A depressed and hung-over-looking Christopher Plummer states at one point, "I wouldn't be the Emerperor of the Universe if I didn't have a few talents. Now, Imperial Spaceship--halt the flow of time!" (not bad, eh?)
Joe Spinell, dressed like a dime-store Satan and dubbed by a man who sounds dangerously constipated, declares at one point, "By sundown I will be the most powerful man in the universe!" And you sit there and think, Sundown? You're in outer space, dude!There are many such hilarious lines.
I could go on and on: There are jerky stop-motion monsters, psychedelic blobs of light that attack people for no explainable reason,Robert Tessier painted green, a robot who begins the film speaking normally and then about 15 minutes in starts talking in a southern accent,Christmas tree lights masquerading as stars, a weapon called The Doom Machine and a central non-performance from the ravishingly lovely but blank Caroline Munro, she of the stilted delivery and mis-matched eye-lines. But, my lord, she rocks a series of outfits that would make Barbarella envious. Gorgeous woman.
So, if you are looking for a rousing sci fi adventure with narrative coherence, decent special effects,and good acting, watch Star Wars; but if you're in the mood for an incomprehensible but colorful mish-mash of Ray Harryhausen movies, old Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers serials, Doc Savage, Perry Rhodan, and just about everything else up to and including the kitchen sink, watch STARCRASH. You certainly won't forget it soon. Did I mention the leaping cavemen?...

As a huge fan of the original runs, I'm not sure this will make it. It just isn't good.
Posted on 4/17/17 at 9:32 am to WarSlamEagle
I enjoyed Reptilicus very much. It's taking me a bit to differentiate the voices but that's a common problem. I think I'll treat it like the good old days when I'd wake up on Saturday mornings in middle school and watch one episode a week.
Posted on 4/17/17 at 9:41 am to WarSlamEagle
I haven't started this yet, but I love this kind of humor. I was a big fan of the original back in the days, and I watch Rifftrax all the time. Looking forward to this.

as a tremendous fan of the original, I find that I like the new run as much as the old. aside from just the time that was in between the seasons, to me it is not a big change at all.
the new series will not have as great of movies like Space Mutiny, Manos or Mitchell, but damn is Reptilicus wasn't hilarious.

Cry Wilderness was something else. What a miracle of a bad movie.
