Update: 75% of the way through the fan episode. Fantastic. Better than I remember. Lost count of the laugh out loud moments. Knocked it out of the park. Mighty Jack I don't know if you cover fan eps or if you've seen it yet, but you need to watch this before you finish your review. Its so much better, and a pretty good comparison of what fell short. Edit: And I don't know who mentioned it earlier, but they DO make a Ma Fratelli joke about the little girl.

I'm not into a lot of fanvids, so I tend to avoid them, but I'm giving it a watch. Funny where they go down the same path, like Gamera celebrating killing Guiron, and calling the statue "Brando".

I'll take a look later. Next week is the Jackbox Showdown which is supposed to involve THREE Tom actors and THREE Crow actors??? So is it Bill Corbett? I can't imagine the delightful Ed Wynn will once again be part of it. Bill is listed as part of Team Crow in the app.it’s Bill, Hampton and Kelsey Vs Baron, Conor and Tim.

Don't think I'll ever forgive myself for not thinking up that Triceratops/Tricerabottoms riff for our fan-episode. A very cool thing watching this...I never need to see this movie again lol.

MST3K has always been a big family and most of you on this discussion board know I have been critical of the show since season 11, but also know I have been bashing this season hard. Gamera Versus Jiger is the first classic episode of this season. Jonah has finally come of age and the episode was brilliant with on-the-spot riffs, and great timing. It wasn't perfect by any means, but it was the first episode of this season to be seen as a true MST3K episode. I loved everything about this episode and the ending skit was excellent. Finally congratulations on making an actual MST3K episode. The secret is riff older films.

Near the bottom of Season 13. Better than Robot Wars, marginally. The riffing in Robot Wars was worse, but Robot Wars had better host segments. So its close. Really, really thin riffing. MAYBE 5-7 minutes of editing to the movie to bring it down to a more manageable 76-78 minutes would've helped. But there were long stretches of not much. And there were LOTS of references that I got, but just didn't hit for me. Not BAD riffing. Just...backround-noise-ish. Mild chuckles and maybe 2 big laughs. Dunno. Didn't feel it. And, like I said, I'd already seen this riffed by the MST3K vs Gamera guys a few years ago. And while they have some of the worst home-made host segments I've ever seen...their riffing of what I believe was the uncut movie was HILARIOUS and had great pacing. So...I dunno. I guess it CAN be done. They just didn't do it for me in this episode. C/C+ Edit: Upon re-watch of that fan-made episode, their version of the movie WAS cut down a bit. Wow.. you thought the fan riff was that good?? I watched that when it was released.. it was definitely not that for me.. I was amused since it was a fan riff of a charming movie.. but that was about as far as it went. Kind of amazed you liked it that much. humor truly is subjective but man those folks aren't that funny.

I can only promise my third episode will be even worse. A mix-up in the lab has divided the quaint-unfunnieness by π & even with the use of artifical sweeteners, the film remains charmless. It's the bringer of our destruction, really. Those responsible have been sacked.

I'd keep jinxing it by projecting a date, universe throws us a curve literally EVERY time I do. But w/ all the principles shot and verrry lengthy re-shoots...uh, re-shot, all that's left is editing & that's on me. So I'd say another 7-12 years. Or not. To err on the side of good luck, let's say Septober. "Just in time for Septoberfest."

^^^ BaronVonBranzant: I liked your "tail" of two riffs video when you compared your episode to the one the 13th season MST3K crew did.

So far this and Robot Wars are my least favorite episodes this season. IMO Jonah is the weak link of the 3 hosts and I have never really been a fan of Baron as Servo.
