MST3K 30 Day Challenge: Day 30 - Something you...
And that’s it! I am done with this nonsense and I’ll (probably) never post again! I’m not a very interesting person and I just don’t get this social networking crap. Facebook? Twitter? That’s new and it frightens me (and I’m only 20)! I can’t come back! I don’t know how it works! Goodbye, folks (all zero of you)!

MST3K 30 Day Challenge: Day 23 - Manos: Bad or the...
It’s bad. There’s no doubt about that. It is a perfect bad film. But it’s memorable for it’s ineptness. Torgo and The Master alone make this one bizarre and notable film. These two characters absolutely stand out. It’s no wonder that Torgo (played by Mike Nelson) made nearly a dozen appearances down in Deep 13. He made that much of an impact on them.
As terrible as...

MST3K 30 Day Challenge: Day 22 - Last episode you...
I just finished watching “The Unearthly”. It’s a decent episode with two great shorts (“Posture Pals” and “Appreciating Our Parents”), but the feature is kind of dull. It has it’s moments though. Plus the infamous Tor Johnson and the line “TIME FOR GO TO BED” make it somewhat memorable.

MST3K 30 Day Challenge: Day 21 - Least favorite...
Can I just say everybody from Pod People? Having rewatched the episode recently, it’s honestly starting to grow on me (the riffing IS funnier than I used to think, but those “Chief? McCloud!” and “Smuckers Jelly” ones are still pretty awful), but the big reason I disliked it for so long was the characters. Not a single one of them is even remotely likeable! It’s...

MST3K 30 Day Challenge: Day 20 - Favorite Movie...
I honestly find “The Final Sacrifice” to be pretty overrated (I feel that way about most of the popular episodes), but that doesn’t prevent me from liking Rowsdower. The guy is simultaneously hilarious and badass in the oddest way possible.
Other favorites would have to be the main dude from “Teenage Crime Wave” (the guy is so over the top and is just a riot. I...

MST3K 30 Day Challenge: Day 19 - Least favorite...
I honestly think I like all of the main characters, but Dr. Erhardt is definitely the easiest to single out as my least favorite. Josh Weinstein was only around for one season (two if you include KTMA) and simply didn’t have enough time to develop the character and make him interesting. Then again, I think Frank (who I didn’t even say anything about yesterday) totally blew him out of...

MST3K 30 Day Challenge: Day 15 - Favorite quote?
Again, from Pod People (which isn’t even one of my favorite episodes to be honest):
Frank: That’s right, you know all the fads with the young people today, you know the kids today with their loud music, hula hoops, fax machines, but the biggest fad these days: KA-ROAK-EE, whoooo! Eyuk-eeee!

I’m sure there’s a few more, but two immediately spring to mind (both from Pod People). these are both super lame by the way:
Joel: “Whoa, check it out, it’s the Iron Maiden dude!”
(i like iron maiden)
Joel: “This is like more intense then when Bobby Brady got lost in the Grand Canyon!”
Servo: “Oh, wasn’t that in Hawaii?”
Joel:...

Season 5. Joel was at his best and Mike was great from the start, and I feel that there isn’t a single bad episode in the batch.

Cinematic Titanic. I’ve seen more of their material (it’s easier to check them out since they’ve done so much less) and it feels more like MST3K. And besides my preference for Joel over Mike, they’ve also got Trace (his Crow is my favorite of all those who went into the “theater”) and Frank (who played my favorite character overall). Mary Jo and Josh are really...

MST3K 30 Day Challenge: Day 6 - Least favorite...
410 - Hercules Against the Moon Men. The hatred most fans seem to have for Hamlet (from Season 10) is about equal to mine for this episode. There are hardly any laughs to be found here. Repetitive riffs (“Pizza, pizza”), astoundingly lazy writing, forced moments (I’m sorry, but the sandstorm is nowhere near as painful as they make it out to be*) make this an absolutely terrible...

MST3K 30 Day Challenge: Day 4 - Favorite episode?
509 - The Girl in Lovers Lane. A decent, but still cheesy movie with fantastic riffing makes this an absolute winner in my eyes. I find myself laughing almost non-stop throughout the entire episode. Crow’s “Tryin’ to look at nobody but I’m lookin’ at everybody!“ riff is probably my favorite in the entire series. It doesn’t make much sense out of context,...

MST3K 30 Day Challenge: Day 3 - How did you get...
I’m sure that I had been aware of it for years. I don’t know where exactly I first heard about it, but I must have seen numerous references to it on the internet over time. I recall trying to watch “‘MANOS’ The Hands of Fate” a few times on Youtube or Google Video or something and never getting past the driving sequence at the beginning (it seems so short and...

MST3K 30 Day Challenge: Day 2 - Joel or Mike? Why?
Joel. It’s a close call actually because I feel that Mike is better in the theater, but some of his mannerisms during the Sci-Fi era kind of bug me. Joel had his ups and downs both in and out of the theater and I feel that evens him out more. Plus his more laid back and sleepy persona appeals more to me.

MST3K 30 Day Challenge: Day 1 - First episode?
107 - Robot Monster. It didn’t leave too much of an impression on me. Makes sense in retrospect seeing how it’s from Season 1. I only checked it out because of the movie itself and it’s status as a “classic” B-movie. I wanted to check out “The Incredibly Strange Creatures…” right around the same time but it took months until I got around to it. In...
