i absolutely love the Film Crew DVD's. i find them much funnier than the Rifftrax, though it seems a lot more writing went into the Film Crew series. i hope they make more, but am dubious since the Film Crew pieces were made so long ago.
....I liked Women of Wongo 'allright' (i still havent watched Marathon) but i had one beef with it, and its that whenever the movie cut to the parrot (which was about 37 times during the duration), Mike and gang never made funny comments as if they were the stupid parrott. i dunno, it was just calling for it. a little disappointing. .....kevin did get one priceless line in though, "Rob Schneider is..THE PARROTT!!" hahaha

No one knows for certain if they will make more Film Crew DVD's. We can only hope.
I can tell you this story:
Back when it was announced that Film Crew DVD's were coming out, there were allot of questions about if this was related or involved with RiffTrax...yada, yada, yada.
Anyway, Torgo'sPizza (employee of RiffTrax) asked Mike strait up what the deal was with the Film Crew. Apparently Mikes response was that it was something the gang did a few years ago but its now dead in the water.
After Torgo's announced this on the RiffTrax forum, the Shout guy in charge of the Film Crew stuff came back with a reply that they are trying to work with Mike and gang to make more and that it was not dead in the water.
So my interpretation is that if DVD sales are good, Shout will go back to Mike and gang and offer them more $$ to make more DVD's.
Weather Mike and gang decide to do it, is a different story.

Newer info (though no more concrete): www.shoutfactory.com/community/482/thread.aspxIt wouldn't suprise me if B Ward was BoBHoncho. B Ward's posts make it sound like Mike, Kevin, Bill are interested, so it just comes down to DVD sales. |

Not just from this example but from other posts I have seen. Also, this is the first that anyone has admitted that Mike is more interested in doing RiffTrax then anything else at the moment. |

If Jim Mallon hadn't tried to make a big deal out of The Film Crew being too similar to MST3K, these sets could have been released in 2005, and we probably would already have 10 "episodes" of The Film Crew!

or 20!
IF the story behind the Film Crew delay being Jim's fault is true, my respect for him has dropped considerably. It almost makes me want to not buy any more of the Rhino releases, since we're pretty sure he's about the only Best Brain to make any money off of them.

I'd believe it...considering no one else has ties to Best Brains other then Jim.
For example, Mike doesn't work for Best Brains anymore, so why would Jim give Mike $$ if Mike has nothing to do with BB.
Unless Mike signed a contract that he'd get a certain % of BB profits, then I bet no one see's money from DVD sales other then Jim.

He is the only Brain to make money of the Rhino releases. What about Joel? Creator and EP for his era? |

I wasn't pleased when I learned of this arrangement, but that's the way it is. I also suspect he may hold "the rights" to Shadowrama (the silhouettes/movie setup), but that's purely speculation on my part...unless someone can shed some light on that? |

If you shed light on shadowrama, there would be no shadow.
