Torgo's Review Thread 2.0

[Torgo]

Almost wasn't? Maybe it shouldn't! Not in June, anyway. MST3K, Rifftrax, and Beyond gets another relaunch review under its belt with our Kickstarter miracle holiday special Il Natale Che Quasi Non Fu AKA The Christmas That Almost Wasn't!

Next Time: A Quinn Martin Production

(apparently my post for Code Name: Diamond Head didn't go through, here it is)

Aloha from our fair blog! Today we spend our day seeing the beautiful Hawaiian locales, take some time at the fair, and go on an adventure with Code Name: Diamond Head, our latest review!

Next Time: Prequel to Reptilian

I've also been working on my next entry for about a week now. You're going to have to bear with me, because it's going to be a bigger supplemental content dump than Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, if you can believe it. I didn't anticipate this much, but I kept looking at other associated works and thinking "Should I do a full post on this?" More often than not, I figured yes.

In the mean time, I received a Press release for the Mads' Live Streaming Event. If you're interested in seeing the Mads riff Glen or Glenda, give it a look!

If Godzilla is a parable to nuclear war, Yongary is a parable to copyright infringement. That's right, today's review is of South Korea's big attempt at a monster franchise: Yongary, Monster from the Deep!

Disclaimer: I actually have so much supplementary content that I posted with this review that Yongary got knocked off the front page of my blog immediately. First and certainly not least is an overview of Season 11! Another season crossed off the list!

Next up is an overview of the little footage that started us on our journey to $6.3 million in crowdfunding and a brand new season of MST3K. Let's take a look back at the Bring Back MST3K Kickstarter Bumpers!

It isn't November, but let's take a look at another Turkey Day, specifically the Kickstarter one hosted by Joel with special guest Ashley Holtgraver, it's Turkey Day 2015!

Up next, I type way too many paragraphs on two minutes of footage. Take a peek at my review of Funny or Die's skit Leaked Star Wars Auditions with the Bots from MST3K!

And now we journey back to the final night of the Kickstarter, where we not only met our goal but stretched our arms for two bonus episodes! It was all chronicled in the broken as hell Bring Back MST3K Final Countdown Telethon!

And as we journey past that, we find ourselves at Thanksgiving again. This time the fans list the top six episodes of MST3K, presented by Joel and Jonah. It's Turkey Day 2016 and Manos won of course.

But we're not done yet! The new MST3K brought a new Making of Documentary on the show, and I dive deem into A New Test Case!

And finally (thank god) I have a simple DVD review. How did these episodes look on home media? We'll find out on the most MST loaded set on the market, Season 11 on DVD and Blu-Ray

Next Time: I take comfort in knowing that my next review is a KTMA episode, and I only have to post the review and nothing else.[/url]

I edited my entry for the 2015 Turkey Day because Ashley Holtgraver took the time to comment on my posts and clarified that the people seen in the bumpers were real Kickstarter employees, so I posted a clarification.

She also commented on my Post about the telethon, which she contributed to.

It's ladies' night at MST3K, Rifftrax, and Beyond...and that's because the women have taken over! GLASS CEILING HAS BEEN SHATTERED, BABY! See through The Million Eyes of Sumaru, our latest review!

Next time: Tom Servo's first date.

Happy Turkey Day everyone! It's a somber day for me, as some of you already know my father passed away from Covid less than a week ago. We're doing okay, but I was working on this Turkey Day project for my blog before it happened, and I very much want to share them with my fellow fans. This has been a rough year for all of us, and hopefully there are people out there who are making it without the heartbreak I've had to suffer.

So, let's celebrate with the Ghosts of Turkey Days past! I have now reviewed each and every Turkey Day on my blog, with the exception of today's, which is sure to come! I've already logged 1991, 1992, 2015, and 2016, which just leaves...

1993
1994
1995
1997
2013
2014
2017
2018
2019

HAPPY TURKEY DAY TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD MEAL!

DO NOT BRING YOUR EVIL HERE! MST3K, Rifftrax, and Beyond is BACK wrestling in the swamp, as we look for the elusive Swamp Diamonds, and also find out what to do on a date.

This episode completes not one but TWO volumes in the MST3K library, as well! Check out our new retrospective of the equally elusive Volume 10 and the not quite as elusive Volume 10.2!

Next Time: STOP THE MUSIC! He's dancing with another girl! STOP THE MUSIC!
My heart's in a whirl!

[Torgo]

If our favorite prop diva Beth McKeever has a favorite episode, this is surely it! Get your bowler hat ready and prepare to swarm for another installment of the MST3K British Invasion! It's The Deadly Bees!

Next Time: KISS! KICKER! 99 girls! 99 boys!

[Torgo]

Boy, this sure is a bad movie, won't you? Since those who read my blog won't stop jumping on the couch, I had to watch Hobgoblins for the next entry. Grab your rake and prepare to defend yourself! FISH PICKER!

This entry also caps off a mostly dire movie line-up in the Volume 8 DVD collection, as well as wrapping up Season 9 of the series!

Next Time: Fine. We'll air your dumb little puppet show.

[Torgo]

In the beginning, God created man. In the middle, man created TV. And in the end, TV created Mystery Science Theater 3000. Let's celebrate that by going back to the first episode of the series, Invaders from the Deep!

Next Time: RIP Frank Zappa.

I...I...wha...Is this reality?

So, so sorry to read this, it was a damned messed-up year on its own, without that happening to someone.

[Torgo]

Thanks MJ. It's been rough, but we're regaining something close to a normalcy. Most of my family is vaccinated (including myself), so hopefully the virus has done as much damage to us as it's going to do..

[Torgo]

After a very, very long hiatus MST3K, Rifftrax, and Beyond is back! MST honors Frank Zappa and I honor my dad with our comeback review of Village of the Giants!

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Feast on some delicious serial with MST's very own Serial Variety Pack! Just add milk and enjoy!

Closing out this review batch is a brand new DVD retrospective! Today I collect my thoughts on Volume XXVII! How does it stack up?

Next Time: Gone fishin'.

[Torgo]

Something's fishy around here. Could it be all the Killer Fish in our latest review? We journey back into the Gauntlet today and go for a swim in the lovely, lovely red waters!

Next Time: TURN IT OFF!
