Finished the season last night.
Very good, up to the standard of the old show. It reminded me that while the show is great, it does have slow/boring episodes sometimes. I found a few of the movies not fun enough for them to have a fun time riffing.
Still, I recommend:
Cry Wilderness
Starcrash
Avalanche
Wizards of the Lost Kingdom (1, but 2 was fun too)
I just finished the Christmas that Almost Wasn’t. I found my name in the second column.
It’s funny. I had seen that movie on TV when I was little, and didn’t think it was that bad.
The best ‘bad’ movies are just cheesy. It’s definitely cheesy. 
Yes. Yes, it is.
Any news yet on a renewal for another season? Please???
Nothing official, but Joel had this to say yesterday in an update to backers:

And now, thanks to you believing in the next MST3K, even more interesting things starting to happen. I’m excited to start revealing some of those developments as we go, because we’ve actually been busier than ever this month, getting to work on the next big chapter in the return of MST3K.

Seems promising…
There were a lot of great films well… you know what I mean. I think my favorite single riff sequence was in Yongary.
They show the astronaut in the rocket but he’s upside down. Riff: “You put me in upside down.”
Cuts to launch director/wife’s father. Riff: “I sure hope we didn’t put him in upside down.”
Cuts to wife. Riff: “I’m sure glad he’s not in there upside down.”
<a couple of minutes later.
Rocket launches. Riff: “I’m upside downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn…”
I had to pause it. I was in tears.
The Loves of Hercules was outstanding too.
“I must have missed the day in Ancient Mythology when they covered Sasquatch.”
My favorite quip from that episode was two solid minutes of tuneless wailing.
Oh, god, that just hurt.
The song at the end of the Cry Wilderness was hilarious. “Just when I thought my soul had been completely crushed by this movie, this song comes along and squeezes out the last little bit.”
That was the worst possible song to include in a family/kids movie.
I will not resurrect a 6 year dead zombie thread, but I am starting a new one for the purpose of reviewing new episodes.
Here.
I loved the Amazon scene, where they were tending to Hercules’ wounds:
“Water on the face, salt scrub, these are some of the services offered by the Chicken Spa. B’KAAAAK!”
And:
“Hippolyta! There’s a wounded man in the village. He killed the Hydra by chopping off his head! He says he’s Hercules, Son of Jupiter!”
“Thank you, Expositiona.”
Son of Jupiter?
That was the one time they managed to use the Roman names instead of the Greek Heracles and Zeus. Of course everything else in the movie was the Greek stuff - Hippolyta, Deianira, Philoctetes, Eurystheus, etc.
Why do I find “moon 13, the moon” funny? I chuckle every time they say it.
Actually, I don’t get it.
It’s like their address.
It’s a station identification. Like, "News 2, Nashville. "
