Currently running through the stream again. I should have my post up in the morning.

Hopefully you got through it, as it's disappeared again (I knew it was going to leave for an hour or so, but I don't know what's going on with it now)
Thankfully I was able to do my screengrabs on my (quick) second go through before it left the plex.

I never took it off my TV and it just looped, so I actually got to see some raw feed from rehearsals before the whole ordeal started all over again. It then deleted early in the morning and they shortened it to a two and a half hour video, though with little technical difficulty cards still in place just for context though the tech issues were MASSIVELY shortened. And yes, they still have a brief white dot. I'd be pissed if they fully cut the white dot.

White dot will become the stuff of MST legend. All hail the white dot.

Ha, I'm going to have to add a link to that. 😂

So, I wonder when Emily's going to clock in? She's said she's filmed 4 experiments, so they'll likely sprinkle them in here and there between the Jonah eps, rather than a block of them at a time.
Jonah opened the series, and we know he has Gamera, which is the 7th episode. In between that we have Robot Wars, Atlantis, Munchi, Mordrid and Demon Squad. Let's say 2 of those are Ems, and 1 is a Joel.
Does Jonah do the first 2 to get us started? Or does Emily get a turn right quick, which is Robot Wars.
Let's try and map this out, shall we?
1301 Santo in the Treasure of Dracula - Jonah 1302 Robot Wars - Emily 1303 Beyond Atlantis - Jonah 1304 Munchi - Joel 1305 Doctor Mordrid -Jonah 1306 Demon Squad - Emily 1307 Gamera Vs Jiger - Jonah 1308 The Batwoman - Emily 1309 The Million Eyes of Su-Muru - Jonah 1310 The Shape of Things to Come - Joel 1311 The Mask 3D - Emily... this is the Halloween episode, first 3D, so maybe you switch Joel in here, and give Em Shape? 1312 The Bubble - Jonah 1313 The Christmas Dragon - all three
Hmm, let's see if I'm anywhere near the ballpark by seasons end.
BTW: While I didn't use any of that review filler from my test post, I got a laugh when Jonah went down the same riff path when he wondered if Santo was IN the treasure. Though, it's a pretty easy line of thought, so I shouldn't crow too much.
I did stick to that template, with a few tweaks. I liked and used a lighter gold coloring for the titles rather than the orange. I tested the limes I had for the Netflix seasons, but they clashed with the tickets.
I know it's just a silly old blog, but you still want it to look visually appealing.

Since Joel's episodes were the last filmed, I'm guessing he's coming into play pretty late in the season. My working theory is he's going to take Emily's spot as she jumps out for the "live tour" (like Jonah did at the end of Ator) and he'll fill in with Conor and Nate as the bots.
Based on that I'm feeling it will alternate as:
Santo - Jonah Robot Wars - Emily Beyond Atlantis - Jonah Munchie - Emily Doctor Mordrid - Jonah (I feel in my gut that this NEEDS to be a Jonah episode) Demon Squad - Emily Gamera - Jonah (the Kickstarter posted a photo of Jonah's crew in the theater with this movie on the screen, so this seems to be a lock) The Batwoman - Emily Sumuru - Jonah Shape of Things - Joel The Mask - Jonah The Bubble - Joel Christmas Dragon - trio
One thing that would be interesting if they do is maybe make Sumuru a Joel episode, as it would be another KTMA reriff for him. I'd like to see Gamera stick with Jonah though, and if they can clear it maybe get Gamera vs. Viras for Emily in a potential season 14. I kinda hoped that's what they were doing this season, but they only cleared the one movie for use.

Part of me would be interested in seeing someone new do Sumaru, but another part of me would like to see Joel take another crack at it.... especially if J. Elvis was his Servo.
Emily eventually getting a Gamera is a nice idea.

* Posted my thoughts on the Mads Livestream, The Devil's HandIn the review, I mention that it's not a Top Tenner, but now I'm wondering what my 10 would be? Of the features... The Lost Missile and Glen or Glenda are my top 2. After that, The Brain From Planet Arous, and The Brain Eaters - then Walk the Dark Streets, Phantom from Space, Santa Claus vs. the Devil That takes us to 7. Those are my faves - now, include a few of the shorts shows to round out to a 10 and there you go. After that, probably toss in The Tingler with the rest of the shorts, which brings me to 14 - the other 7 would be on the next, lower level. * We were talking Santo stats in Torgo's thread, I went and look at mine, I had my normal spike, then it died, but the next day an even bigger spike (surprise), then back down in the valley, so the graph looks like a mountain scene. Oh, and Humanoid Woman popped up on the charts, rare to see a KTMA do that, but there she was, with 6 hits in a day

That second spike was me. I shared your page on my Twitter and told people to check it out for a second opinion.

So that's where it came from. Mystery solved.
While I'm okay with keeping things modest these days, and having that small, intimate group of readers, I do appreciate the shout out. Thanks
Did you get any other bumps after the premiere? Seasons 11 and 12 found a pulse on mine, but aside from the one KTMA ep, the classic era was ignored. My old interview with Beez got a couple of reads from out of the blue.

Not that I noticed. Some random reviews got some clicks, but I didn't really see a pattern.

I was in the mood for some riffing, so I turned to Rifftrax. Among their recent releases... I didn't care for the first Max Havoc and wasn't going to indulge in a second helping. And after being let down by Baby Ghost and Fungicide, I wasn't in the mood for another micro-budgeted home movie, so I passed on Things and went with something that was only about a step or two above those. Ha Ha. It was good, though not quite good enough to be featured in my current "Best of" page. Instead of leaving a link, I'll just post the brief overview here. Good: The Retrievers - Violent, tonally off its nut / riff-wise, while not steady enough to be considered a 'banger', there's a lot of energy here and several big laughs - "If you shined a black light in this room, it would explode instantly" - Kevin - and, as a girl blows on her birthday cake, "I wish that mercenary soldiers wouldn't ruin my big day... oh come on!" - Mike. Plus, Bill unveils a killer new slogan for Golden Coral. * also - while I was rummaging around my notes, I found an unfinished write-up intended for the "Best of" page, but again, I felt it was more, "good" than "great", so it never made the grade. But I'll share it just to save it... "Her look is Zorro joins Culture Club" - Kevin A girl who's not Lydia from Beetlejuice, moves to a new town where she befriends an evil mirror. Solid Trax when it takes to task the privileged teens - and Bill breaking down our lead characters look for her classmates reminded me of his MST days (the 'burn the witch' quip in A Touch of Satan, or the "drive" bit in Future War). Mean teens pissed me off, but And that's it, I left off on a big "but". But... what? But it was a good solid 'trax. 2 goodies that just missed being one of their best, IMO of course.
