This is tough. The order isn't necessarily the same all the time, and the episodes may vary, as it depends on my mood, and how "fresh" they feel after having seen them so many times. I try to go by how I felt when I FIRST saw them, but that's hard to do, again, after having seen them so many times. 10. The Creeping Terror 9. Time Chasers 8. The Incredible Melting Man 7. Night of the Blood Beast 6. Escape 2000 tie with The Brute Man (I thought Season 7 was pretty strong overall). 5. The Day the Earth Froze 4. Manos and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (SCCTM can sometimes be a chore now that I know it so well, but I laughed quite a bit on the first viewing). 3. MITCHELL! 2. The Magic Voyage of Sinbad and I Accuse My Parents tie 1. Tormented Honorable mentions: Last of the Wild Horses, Godzilla vs. Megalon, Space Mutiny, The Gunslinger, Eegah!, Pod People, Cave Dwellers, the Rocky Jones episodes - and many more! Tormented as number one. Very interesting. I've never seen that in anyone's top ten before let alone as their number one favorite. That's what makes this show so great. So many of the episodes are of such high quality that you see such a variety in these top favorite episodes of all time lists.

I was watching the classic Humphrey Bogart movie, In a Lonely Place, the other day and noticed a familiar face. Robert Lowell who plays Jimmy in, I Accuse my Parents, has a small part with a few lines of dialog. Oddly enough, the role isn't listed in his IMDB credits. I always get a kick out of spotting small time actors from Mstied movies in big time Hollywood films.

This was a good episode. The first 20 minutes or so is like a blitzkrieg of hilarious riffs, and while the beginning may be the funniest, the riffing stays fairly consistent throughout.
Overall, I thought the season was good. The guys felt more relaxed and confident both in the theater and during the host segments. There wasn't anything quite on the level of Wizards of the Lost Kingdom (my personal fave from last season), but the episode quality felt more consistent overall. Mac and Me is my personal favorite from this season. I'm sure it would have been even funnier had I not already been familiar with the movie and its insane ending.
Here's to hoping for a next season and continuing improvements!

Another decent episode. Nothing on the level of Mac and Me or Lords of the Deep, but some pretty good riffs.
It's funny, because there are some general improvements over last season, such as the pacing of the riffs, but there aren't any episodes that are quite on par with my favorites from last season. Maybe a re-watch of some of these episodes down the road will change that when I'm not focused on binging them like I am now.

"Where in the prog rock am I anyway?"
This one was okay. What a weird movie. It pretty much has no plot and is made up of a bunch of random occurrences. The riffing is decent but not great. A few lines made me chuckle like the one above.
So in the end: good movie selection, decent but not great riffing, and a cool/unexpected cameo appearance = a pretty OK episode.

OK, this episode is pretty good. I enjoyed it. Mac and Me is still my favorite of the first three episodes.
"In the beginning, the movie was without shape or form."
Also, I like how the sets in this movie look like the queue for Space Mountain in Disneyland. Just a random observation of mine.

A tough, tough movie to sit through. It's so boring. Mind-numbing stuff. The riffing is mostly unmemorable. Probably not the best movie choice for the show. I'm not trying to be too negative, but this has become one of my least favorite episodes in the show's entire run.

Just finished this one. I thought it was a very strong episode.
The joke placement and pacing has definitely improved since last season, although sometimes it is still hard to tell the difference between Tom and Crow's voices in the theater.
The last fifteen minutes or so are the funniest. It helps that the ending to this movie is so weird and crazy.
"Let's get our story straight. They shot first and he never had a wheelchair."
A big plus for the disturbing SPAM PEZ invention and the unsettling McDonah's host segment.

Oh, one thing that does bug me though is that they aren't going to explain how Crow and Tom are back on the SOL and not still living with Mike. I thought I read an article last year where Joel said they were going to explain this? Oh well.

According to the Den of Geek Review, the episodes are indeed shorter and they've changed the format. 1 hour, 20 minute episodes with only 1 mid-episode host segment, and no commercial bumpers, if I'm reading it right. This might be considered blasphemy, but I don't mind just 1 mid-host segment in the episodes. Having no commercial bumpers is a big plus imo. For me, they added nothing to the show last season. The Gauntlet concept is fun and I look forward to seeing how it plays out. I'm also glad to hear that they have slowed down on the jokes. Much of the riffing last season felt too cluttered as we all know.

I love season 6. Glad to see at least two episodes from that season were featured this year. It may not be the best season, but it's one of them. Some of the worst movies featured on the show were in season 6, which may be a turn of to some people. Me, I've always loved the bottom-of-the-barrel stuff.
