Torgo's Review Thread 2.0

[Torgo]

Passed 300. This is one of my top ten pages now.

Santo has jumped up to my #2 most viewed post overnight. It's a bit of a hike to #1, but there is a chance that it will get there if it doesn't die down soon.

[Torgo]

Looks like Santo is going to stop short of becoming my top post, but it should crawl there over time. I think that post should get some clicks as the season progresses and more traffic comes in. The Final Sacrifice didn't start out as my top MST post (pre-Santo). It got that over time because it was a go-to episode for people to take a peek and see how much of an asshole I am. Since it wasn't a rave review, I was a huge asshole.

Anyway, ahead of tonight's Mads show, I take a look back at when RiffTrax tackled the exact same film. It's sex, drugs, and voodoo witchcraft. Join the coven and take The Devil's Hand!

And today's BONUS SHORT is all about the devil's food! Which is...soup. Campbell's soup, even. What this has to do with a magic act? Dunno. But all of this and more in The Magic Shelf!

And I have watched the latest RiffTrax for Things. I'll post that on Thursday. I wanted to get The Devil's Hand out for the Mads show.

Today's review is a film that needs no introduction. That's because it deserves no introduction. It deserves to be tossed on a slab and pointed at. Come watch Amber Lynn look confused and a bunch of guys stumble around in the dark. At least that's what I think happened. It's Things. Oh jesus christ, is it ever Things.

And with a movie featuring a porn star, we double it up with a short all about glamming ourselves up like the best of the porn stars out there! Today's BONUS SHORT is all about Good Grooming for Girls!

Back by lukewarm demand is everyone's favorite direct to video action franchise, now with more Dean Cain! Too much Dean Cain, some (or all) would say. Together we'll fall in to a burnin' Max Havoc: Ring of Fire!

And why should we play by the rules? Max Havoc doesn't play by the rules! He roundhouse kicks rules in the face! Let's see what life would be like without rules as we take a Holiday from Rules?!

Another live stream in the books, and this one will wet your whistle! Come witness the joys of water with our first Gizmoplex short Pipeline to the Clouds! Then we tune into a celebration of one of the greatest episodes of all time, "Manos" The Hands of Fate, with special guest Jackie Neyman Jones!

One last dip into RiffTrax's Toxic Box set as we grab our CG arrows and hunt the dreaded Suburban Sasquatch. Does the last riff of the box set live up to the first two, or is it...toxic?

[Torgo]

From the director of Fugitive Rage is another direct to video action movie straight out of the dollar bin. Get ready for that nostalgic feeling of renting from blockbuster and realizing you wasted your money on movies like Rapid Assault!

But at least there are snacks, as our BONUS SHORT points out! Two leprechauns point out the diverse usage of the perfect food: the potato chip! Venture out into The Adventures of Chip and Dip!

[Torgo]

Feel that? That's the feeling of a new season of MST3K in full swing! The show has always had robots, but now let's make them the size of a Megazord and have them duke it out! Get in the crowd and cheer on the Robot Wars!

[Torgo]

Ahead of tonight's Mads show, I take a look at last month's. It's another round of all those voodoo doll mayhem to the beat of a bongo drum as we hold The Devil's Hand!

And if there's a devil's hand, there is a devil. And if there is a devil, there must be a Santa Claus to battle him. Today's BONUS SHORT sees us visiting Santa Claus Workshop!

[Torgo]

It's the return of undead voodoo and only Batman himself, Adam West, can hope to combat it. It's RiffTrax's update to the classic MST flick Zombie Nightmare Worth the upgrade?

And if you can't see the riff clearly, please consult your doctor. Full list of instructions can be found in today's BONUS SHORT Glasses for Susan: A New Day!

[Torgo]

Today I cover a riff of a film that was released by Criterion! Well...through Eclipse, but it counts! It's a wild ride of spygames and killer bugs in that crazy land of Japan. Brace yourself for the War of the Insects, a part of Cinematic Titanic's Live experience!

But if one wants to evade those pesky bugs, one needs to hop into a helicopter and take off. Rev up those rotors and join this BONUS SHORT for Billy's Helicopter Ride!

[Torgo]

After years of anticipation, MST3K finally says hello to Emily, Conor, Yvonne, and special surprise Kelsey with a trip to the beach with Sid Haig in Beyond Atlantis! Pardon my language, but they're all just a bunch of Mother Crabbers!

The director of Demon Squad is VERY happy about the idea that Joel might be the one hosting his movie.
