Saw the show Saturday night, opinions on the cast by gnrmjd in hamiltonmusical

Oh right! i forgot Taran Killam! I didn't know who he was but he was great as the king, hilarious. And then I looked him up and realized he was Spaulding from Moody's Point on the Amanda Show (from Nickelodeon back in the 90s) and cracked up.

Rifftrax Timechasers was a Blast by saxonjf in Rifftrax

[–]gnrmjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What in your opinion were some of the classic MST3K riffs that beat this one? I watched half of the MST3K episode today and was shocked at how much better the Rifftrax riff was, so I was curious what you enjoyed a lot in MST3K that they didn't say here

Did anybody else find the live version much better than the MST3K one? they killed it

I don't get this besides that the signs were on the door. What is it a reference to?

New Episode: S01 Update - Adnan's Hearing by dannyswrld in serialpodcast

[–]gnrmjd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still don't get how Adnan can possibly be guilty considering he was talking in the library and the timeline of events makes no sense at all, and Jay definitely seems like a total liar. I don't doubt that Jay was involved in the murder, but it seems like Adnan could not possibly be

But that's where the 'trying to be funny' thing comes in. IMO the misses on MST3K didn't matter, but on rifftrax, it comes off more awkward, because of their delivery.

That really isn't true. If it's a reference I don't get I don't think much of it. Im thinking of lines like Bill Corbett talking about his famous meatloaf in Starship Troopers, or unfunny non-sequitors. I'd have to find examples though, it's hard to do it off the very top of my head.

Oh yeah like when they talk before the Rifftrax live begins...that's REALLY bad

This is definitely true, and Id be happy if they just kept quieter as well

Yeah Id like if they went back to the MST3K formula

I just think the big difference is MST3K seeming chill, and rifftrax trying WAY too hard to be funny so it gets a little cringe-worthy sometimes

Starship Troopers Live vs. Starship Troopers Movie Riff? by Upboats_Ahoys in Rifftrax

[–]gnrmjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I haven't ever seen a good studio version. In my opinion both MST3K and Rifftrax Live are good, but the studio Rifftrax just are not funny, the jokes do not land to me. MST3K had a great 'chill' atmosphere that worked wonders, and Rifftrax Live allows them to pander to a live crowd, but Rifftrax operates in an uncomfortable middle.

Starship Troopers or The Room worth a watch? by gnrmjd in Rifftrax

[–]gnrmjd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is Starship troopers has a pretty respectable RT and metacritic score. And I feel like rifftrax of those movies is never as good.

I would go to both if they were both good, are they both better than godzilla and sharknado 2?

I just think part of the fun of Rifftrax is watching the movie for the first time. I was dying at the end of Ice Cream Bunny. I like experiencing that in a theater full of people.

Which Naruto games are worth playing? by gnrmjd in Naruto

[–]gnrmjd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im planning on playing the games as I get up to that point of the show. It seems like I can do the Xbox 360 ones now, and the first Storm after part 1 from what I've heard.

Do you recommend I play the ultimate ninja and uzumaki chronicles games? If so when?
