i haven't seen any of the season 11 episodes since last year and now that i'm dropping netflix again i'm not about to rewatch any of them (if at all ever again), so off the top of my head:
1. Avalanche 2. Mac & Me 3. Yongary 4. Atlantic Rim 5. Carnival Magic 6. Killer Fish 7. Ator 8. The Beast of Hollow Mountain 9. Wizards of the Lost Kingdom II 10. Cry Wilderness 11. Wizards of the Lost Kingdom 12. The Day Time Ended 13. Starcrash 14. TIE: The Land Time Forgot / The Loves of Hercules / At the Earth's Core (i really can't discern any of these from one another) 17. The Christmas That Almost Wasn't 18. Lords of the Deep 19. The Time Travelers 20. Reptilicus
top 3 are all solid, but ultimately show more promise of what they could be doing instead of being flat out successes on their own; 4-11 are too inconsistent with occasional good moments; 12-17 are very boring and/or hardly memorable; bottom 3 are straight up trash, infuriatingly unfunny. i would not put either season on par with the original 10, not even season 1 which i am at least charmed by, even at it's most boring. over ktma, sure, but that's hardly a fair fight.

1. Mac & Me 2. Atlantic Rim 3. Killer Fish 4. Ator 5. The Day Time Ended 6. Lords of the Deep
It got off to a good enough start with Mac & Me, which almost had it right all around but ran out of steam past the mid-point (the whole thing felt right in spirit at least and unfortunately got my hopes up for the rest of the season). Atlantic Rim was a lot less funny but never got any better or worse, staying pretty consistent throughout. The middle two episodes were the biggest duds; Lords of the Deep reminded me way too much of what I hated about Season 11 and nearly put me to sleep, while The Day Time Ended was only marginally better. The last two episodes started off VERY strong but petered out even quicker than Mac & Me did, I was pretty much silent after the first 15-20 minutes of each show.
The host segments were not as embarrassing this time around, the lack of "celebrity" cameos certainly helped and I appreciated seeing Josh Weinstein back even though the whole sub-plot he was involved in was odd and not funny (the awkward re-recorded song and borderline incomprehensible reason for why it was even being brought up in the first place just had me baffled). Certain things still seem way too rushed, like they keep wanting to try out new ideas without giving them much room to breathe. The new robots are cute and all but there's virtually nothing there to let any sense of personality or purpose come through and their increasing appearances in the theater were just jarring. The smaller silhouettes and wider frame aren't helping either, especially when they frequently blend in with the darker picture of the movies. There's still a very hollow and disembodied feeling to the riffing even with the three main guys being recorded together this time. It's still too reliant on either reminding people of things from the original show, coming off more like pandering instead of feeling like organic call-backs, or as others have pointed out, going for more LCD jokes and references, whether they be fart jokes (literally every episode had at least one, no? I'll at least cop to laughing at the "Fartman" name drop in Atlantic Rim...) or references to overly popular franchises and media (Star Wars, Harry Potter, video game tropes and terminology). I don't know, it's ultimately not very appealing to me and isn't much of an improvement over the previous season or a good continuation of the original show, which it was never going to be in the first place.

closing out with Cry Wilderness. that's fine, it wasn't one of my favorites from season 11 (which i really only liked about 3 episodes from tops) but i get why most people loved it. i figured they would get one episode in for jonah, although i was starting to think they would show something from season 10 (which is now the ONLY season that's never been represented in any of turkey day marathons so far)

1. Moon Zero Two (i appreciated joel's comments about this one, probably my favorite season 1 ep at the moment) 2. Warrior of the Lost World 3. Bloodlust! (Pearl's first appearance) 4. Samson vs. the Vampire Women (Frank's departure; love the season 6 representation, the most overlooked season) 5. Laserblast (final Comedy Central/Dr. Forrester episode; my favorite of them all) 6. ?
i like this selection so far, some slight crowd pleasers but mostly atypical choices. they're going with a "landmarks" theme for the 30th anniversary although i feel the first two choices are a bit loose (with good enough reason i'm sure) in that regard, being a) a solid early episode that usually doesn't get much attention and b) a great one from joel's last stretch of shows. (i would have picked a different once since they just showed Warrior last year)

how's the video quality? that's what i'm worried about, i've got another 2 weeks 'til my copy of this sucker arrives. do any of the episodes (specifically: hellcats, eegah, i accuse my parents) look like a blurry mess like some of the other re-releases they've done?

Tom Servo dressed as a women with red curly hair, crying/shrieking at the microphone for something like 3 minutes straight. Must fast-forward through that one. this is actually the greatest host segment my top 3 worst 1. lembach is staying (i actually said too much about this in an above post) 2. mad scientists saaaaaaaaaandsstttttoooooorrrm (hercules against the moon men) 3. booby trap (also hercules against the moon men, just the worst episode really) dishonorable mention: any bit that ended on a weird homophobic/gay panic joke in season 10

i've got two of them on dvd (from skyronitor when his site was still going), gamera & the amazing colossal man. both of them actually have the full opening theme after each jack perkins intro. it should also be noted that they re-did the silhouettes too, at least for season 3 episodes. the blue tint that the black & white movies had in the regular episodes is gone as well. this is very noticeable on the official dvd releases that have the bumpers (when they do a recap at the start of part 2).

good (but not great) episode, bad movie (in a fascinating way)
