7 May 2013 12:04 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I don't know what's going on nowadays, but these podcasts are getting really long. Today's clocks in just under two hours as we talk even more Iron Man 3, look at the new DVD and Blu-ray releases, talk about seeing trailers for Man of Steel and The Hangover Part III and some stories from last night's screening of The Great Gatsby. Of course, from there we answer your questions and voicemails, play some games and shuffle off into the sunset. I want to remind you that you can call in and leave us your comments, thoughts, questions, etc. directly on our Google Voice account, which you can call and leave a message for us at (925) 526-5763, which may be even easier to remember at (925) 5-bnl-pod.

A whole bunch of the movies Mystery Science Theater 3000 mocked are getting remakes
6 May 2013 1:01 PM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
Signifying our society’s maturing from the sarcastic negativity that defined the ’90s, into the cheerily positive attitude toward brand exploitation that is the more modern form of cynicism, remakes are now in the works for 10 titles from American International Pictures—the B-movie studio perhaps best known as one of the top suppliers of terrible films to Mystery Science Theater 3000. Among the first MST3K-mocked Aip movies being readied for updates are The She-Creature, Teenage Caveman, Viking Women And The Sea Serpent, The Undead, and War Of The Colossal Beast, all of which were churned out on the »
Mystery Science Theater 3000: 10 Worst Movies They Riffed
6 May 2013 5:22 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
For ten years, Mystery Science Theater 3000 gave us the worst movies ever made, and proceeded to riff the living daylights out of them. In doing this, they made these movies bearable to watch, and frequently even made watching these movies an enjoyable experience.
However, some movies were simply so bad that no matter how high quality the riffing, the movie just plain hurt. This article will review those, despite the agony it will bring to my brain, having to remember these movies…
10. The Final Sacrifice (1990)
Summary: This amazing turkey from Canada chronicles the journey of a young boy named Troy McGregor, who begins investigating the death of his father 7 years earlier. Eventually he uncovers a map to a lost city, and somehow that very day a bloodthirsty cult winds up on his front porch. “I know you have the map Troy! I want it!”

B-Sides: Eegah! It's Arch Hall, Jr.
20 April 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
It’s not easy being a 1960’s teen idol, especially when you’re trying to sing a romantic song about the girl you love in a low budget b-movie about a rampaging caveman. Arch Hall, Jr., gives it his all crooning a love song about his lady love, Valerie, even though his lady love was actually named Roxy.
Eegah is a classic of bad cinema whose legacy was fully cemented when it was immortalized on “Mystery Science Theater 3000”. Arch Hall, Sr.’s attempt to turn his son, Arch Hall, Jr., into a matinee idol in this music-filled mix of teenage drama and monster movie may be the source of much ridicule today, but given what a financial hit the $15,000 movie was back in 1962, it’s easy to say they got the real last laugh.
Throughout the film Junior performs romantic numbers about girls named “Vicky” and “Valerie”. That his »

Gorgo – Steve Ditko’s Truly Fantastic Giant
8 April 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Ditko Monsters – Gorgo!, stories drawn by Steve Ditko, written by Joe Gill, designed and edited by Craig Yoe. YoeBooks!/Idw Publishing. 224 pages, $34.99 retail hardcover.
I realize I’m jeopardizing my Geekcred here, but when I was a kid I never was much of a monster movie fan. After I got past James Whale and Ishirô Honda, it was pretty much “if you’ve seen one slimy green tail, you’ve seen them all.” Of course, this was prior to the proliferation of porno. My pathetically mature attitude kept me away from Marvel’s monster comics prior to Fantastic Four #1 (the first one). That changed with Fin Fang Foom and Strange Tales Annual #1, and it changed with Steve Ditko’s Amazing Adult Fantasy. (Memo to self: define “adult.”) It became impossible to pass up any Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko effort, be it superhero or monster. Hell, I even bought Ditko’s Hogan’s Heroes adaptations. »

Interview: Film Critic Leonard Maltin on State of the Art
26 March 2013 8:33 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – If a “Mount Rushmore” of American film critics was ever considered, one of the men that would be a strong candidate is Leonard Maltin. An influential film essayist, critic and historian since the 1960s, Maltin also wrote the go-to directory for film buffs prior to the internet, “Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide.”
Maltin’s love of film began in his childhood in Teaneck, New Jersey. He turned that love into self publication at the age of 15, distributing “Film Fan Monthly,” a fanzine dedicated to films from the golden age of Hollywood. This publication led to the next phase in his life, which he relates in a story below. The “Leonard Maltin Movie Guide” became the bible for film lovers – again before the internet – solving many a movie dispute and leading to the phrase “let’s look it up in Maltin.”

Interior Art From Titan Comics’ “It Came!”
20 March 2013 1:32 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
We spotlighted Titan Comics’ It Came!, an upcoming 1950′s sci-fi B-movie mini series in comic book form. Now we have some interior art from the project from Dan Boultwood.
Fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000 will love this hilarious B-movie romp, a knowing throwback to the heyday of low-budget Sf cinema – in comic book form!
In It Came!, ‘director’ Dan Boultwood has unearthed a lost classic from the forgotten Pinetree Studios.
An enormous alien robot lays waste to the English countryside, annihilating bunting, villages and diagonally-sliced sandwiches alike! Only the pipe-chomping space scientist Dr. Boy Brett and his assistant Doris Night (a lady) stand a chance of stopping it from marching all the way to London – but can they possibly escape the grasp of Grurk and get the might of the British Army on their side?!

Trundling through the 1950s British countryside, unthinkingly misogynistic space scientist, Dr. Boy Brett and the suitably chaperoned Doris Night pop into a quaint village pub for a cheese ploughman’s… But waiting for them outside is a most unwelcome visitor: Grurk, an indestructible, rampaging robot from outer space, on a mission to harvest the British Blitz spirit for energy!

'The Bachelor: Women Tell All': Tierra continues to play the victim, AshLee gets after Sean
4 March 2013 7:00 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
It's time for the annual "Bachelor: Women Tell All" reunion special, where the women get to snipe at each other and Bachelor Sean for two whole hours. Get your wine ready and settle in.
But before we can get to any of the drama, Chris Harrison and Sean are ... crashing a "Bachelor" viewing party? With a bunch of 15 year-olds? That's kinda weird. Then they go to a sorority house and approximately 300 girls are crammed in a room watching the show.
Admittedly, that would be kind of fun -- hanging out with your girlfriends and drinking wine and watching "The Bachelor," "Mystery Science Theater 3000"-style. But that's kind of what I feel like we do here every week, readers. *virtual hugs*
And again, before we can get to any actual discussion, we have to relive the season in a video montage that includes roughly 42 shots of shirtless Sean.

RiffTrax Bringing Back 'Plan 9,' 'Manos'
4 January 2013 8:57 PM, PST | AirlockAlpha.com | See recent Airlock Alpha news »
Michael J. Nelson and his team are giving two legendary horrible science-fiction films more screentime than they would've ever had otherwise. Nelson -- along with his former "Mystery Science Theater 3000" cast mates Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett -- are returning "Manos: The Hands of Fate" and "Plan 9 From Outer Space" to theaters in January. And no worries, it will come with all the fun and snark that the team from RiffTrax (what was formed after MST3K was cancelled) can muster. "I'm really excited because it's not every day you get a chance to see the worst movie ever made, and then a week later, see a movie even worse than that," Nelson said in a release. "Truly, you owe it to yourself to see these classics of the genre." Both presentations are encores of screenings already conducted »
