Episode 6 of the Mary Jo Pehl Show was a step up from last month's effort, read all about it here... The Partridge Family Book ClubBridget and MJ also released another Rifftrax short, titled, Ol’ #23Mike, Kevin and Bill have tackled a couple of bus films for Rifftrax (The Big Yellow Fellow, and Ghost Rider), this time it's the ladies turn. While not hysterically funny, clever quips are heard - and the short? Well, it must exist in an alternate reality because seriously, how many kids do you know who'd become so obsessed with a school bus that they invest time and their own money to fix it up?

It's the new zoo review! Na, just Bridget and Mary Jo completing the "Of the Bride" trilogy with their first feature length release of 2022 -- and dear lord do I hate these movies... Children of the BrideBTW, Beez will be Frank and Traces special guest on next week's Livestream. On the bummer side of the world of Riffing, another MST Time Bubble show was cancelled due to weather, and it sounds like they probably won't be rescheduling as they have in past tours, as the cast has to get back and wrap up filming. So, my sympathies for those of you who were screwed by Father Frost, that dirty bastard! To close on a positive, for certain Kickstarter backers they sent us a link for 21 MST3K shorts (to go along with the 21 episodes we received earlier). I've downloaded all of mine, saved them on a flashdive, and wtched a couple while at work... they certainly made that hellscape a lot brighter and enjoyable. Peace everyone, and Go Bengals!

I have my draft of Children of the Bride primed up and I'll be posting it Monday morning. I haven't seen the other flicks, but I will say I did not expect the melodrama to end with a barroom brawl.

When/if you see the others, you'll note the recasting - the guy from Heroes was replaced with the Flash, and Patrick Duffy is recast with another actor from Dallas. Oh, and Bill Bixby directed the sequel. That bit o' trivia was probably the most interesting part of these flicks.
I won't say more as I don't want to step on your review before its out, but sufficed to say, aside from Kristy's nun, Rue's other 3 kids got on my nerves, they made it difficult to focus on the joke side of it.

Bridget and Mary Jo have released a new short... Good Grooming for GirlsIt's another that is just 'average', Mary Jo didn't write on this one, as she hasn't for any of the shorts released this year. Neither Bridget nor MJ wrote on Ol' #23 - going back to last year, MJ was the sole credited writer for the very funny Why Study Science, so it looks like they swap/skip that duty on these wee ones. I haven't gone through all their writing credits, but after a quick peek, it looks like they both write on their features, with Matthew J. Elliott a contributor on several of those. I was curious about this because they've been a bit inconsistent on the shorts released this year.

While I haven't linked it up with the other pages, Beatle-riffs for the Netflix/Gizmoplex years has been published. So, if anyone watches one and catches a quip, include it here and I'll add it with credit. Once it fills out a bit more, and after we get a few from season 13, I'll give it a proper link on the blog.

How not to be seen. HA, no doubt his followers are pelting me with rotten tomatoes (I quit most social whatever sites long ago, the books of face, the titters, and live in my own bubble these days) Oh well, if you dish it out, you gotta take it, and it's nice that he's a reader. Sorry Chris for giving you an 'ouch', but I did say you're a cool cat and it's mostly been positives (One thing I've discovered over the decades, but still find curious, people mostly focus on the criticisms - they rarely point me out when I'm kind, only when I'm cruel. Cole Stratton -of Janet & Cole's Rifftrax Presents- is the only one who has sent me a note, thanking me for the kind reviews, he never mentioned the knocks, or my negative nitpicks, it was just a thank you note. I found that refreshing) Anyway, it's March - and the happy anniversary post is posted.... It Was 20 Years Ago Today...If you've been reading this thread, lurking or whatnot, most of that material has been posted here. But now, it's all gathered together as a history of Jack.

I'm assuming that means they're done, lol.

Well that's good, I'd hate to have hurt his feelings. I slightly altered the reply above to include that it's nice that he's reading (and has seen all the mostly positives).
EDIT - Oh, but now I know why my MJPS page had a sudden spike a few days back. I was wondering where those readers came from.
Janet and Cole do some live riffing on shorts here and there and were included on one of the DVD releases (doing a short that I don't believe has ever been offered digitally), and you'll see them credited as writers on a few. But yeah, I'd welcome another full-length feature release from them.

So, I'm already testing out templates for the new season. Thought I might use the Gizmoplex tickets as image header, here's a screencap of a test sample - might go with this, might not. Have to catch the episode to see how the aftershow works, how I want to fold that bit in there. Also working out ideas for an introductory page for the Plex

I think the tickets make nice little headers.

Yeah, I like them too. They have a nice old school vibe, but are also unique to the Gizmoplex, signaling a new era of MST (that will hopefully be funny and thrive).
