That's gotta be Rocky Jones. Since Manhunt in Space was already guessed, I'll go with Crash of the Moons.

Any of their live shows are pretty great. If you're more into the B-movies, then I'd recommend just about any of their VODs. The shorts compilations are a fun mix. "The Guy From Harlem" is a personal favorite of mine, along with "Birdemic".

Psych

That was totally a Monk reference. Psych owes its success to being on after Monk in the early days, and I think Franks & Co. always acknowledged it. I'm sure Tony Shalhoub has moved on, though. Too bad he couldn't cameo with Kilmer and Zane for that episode.

ferguson doesn't even use cue cards during his monologues - he just has talking points. he's really hilarious, but i think he just gets overlooked in the huge stew of late night hosts. Craig Ferguson is a mad genius. He's far and away the best comedian in the late-night game. He's been ad-libbing his monologues for years, and they're almost always funnier than everyone else's. His guests have fun on his show, and his interplay with Geoff makes every other sidekick look terrible. The amount of creativity on a shoestring budget in that show amazes me. Lately, though, he seems bored and loses interest during the show, which makes for uncomfortable viewing-- and not in a funny way. I think Colbert is the perfect choice to replace Dave. Even if he sheds his persona, I hope he keeps the biting satirical humor going in his jokes. He's one of the few comedians working who will still go after both sides of the political spectrum. Even though his conservative blowhard act is a mocking of the right, that character also lets him land a ton of great shots at the left.

That's about how much you'll have to pay to get the Rhino set with Godzilla vs. Megalon.
I'm too scared to total up all I've spent on MST over the years. What with the box sets, memorabilia, T-Shirts, replica 'bots, paintings, secret illicit photos of Bobo & Brain Guy, lawyer fees and fines to settle with Mary Jo out of court...
Good times.

I did far worse in the first 2 rounds than in past years. Wisconsin really saved my bacon.

Thanks to Wisconsin's win tonight, it looks like I have the inside track. I really need Michigan St. to lose tomorrow, or else Crowfan takes the lead. If Michigan St. keeps going and wins the whole thing, it's anyone's game. If my math is right, if UConn beats MSU, I'll clinch the pool.
GO HUSKIES!!

Took Mrs. Atari to see The Grand Budapest Hotel the other day. I enjoy Wes Anderson's style and count "Bottle Rocket" and "The Royal Tenenbaums" among my favorite movies. So I'm used to his diorama style of cinematography and his eccentric characters and dialogue performed by his stock company. I was really looking forward to this, as it seemed to be his first action movie, and it got good reviews-- even from WA haters.
I was very disappointed. The camerawork was gorgeous, the acting was excellent, and the whole thing felt original and unique. But as we drove home, Mrs. Atari said, "I know he's not known for emotionally engaging plots, but I felt like I was watching someone's book report about a real plot." She summed up my feelings exactly. He had these fascinating characters in fun circumstances, and just when something interesting was about to happen, it would cut away to dull narration. I felt like Milhouse watching the Poochie episode of Itchy & Scratchy: "WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO GET TO THE FIREWORKS FACTORY!? *Sob*"

Colossus and the Headhunters. I haven't seen this in years. I usually avoid it because of my hatred of the awful, awful Nummy Muffin Coocol Butter host segments. I have to say that other than Maciste/My Cheese Steak, I didn't remember A SINGLE THING about the movie. Not the plot, not the characters, not the riffs, nothing. I know I've seen this 4 or 5 times, but I couldn't recognize a single scene. I'm pretty good at keeping the Hercules movies straight in my head, but this one was an entirely new experience for me. Altogether.

I've been on a huge prog kick lately, but I'm still a sucker for pop classics. Here are two great tastes that taste great together!

I'm honestly curious as to why people don't like "It Lives By Night". It's my favorite season 10 episode. The film reminds me of a cross between Puma Man and Werewolf, in terms of '70s cheese and goofy transformation. Throw in the mellow skiing doctor and it's prime for riffing. Yet it gets regularly dismissed and disliked around here. What am I missing?

Hats off to posturepal, but especially to sirhamhat. Not only did I enjoy the puzzles, but also especially your wit. Or mostly your wit. Or most of your wit. Something about wit. And it's soul, brevity.

Oderus was a regular guest on the Dan Patrick Show. I listened to GWAR back in the late '80s and was surprised to see him on a sports radio/TV show 25 years later. In full costume and character. He always came across as being in on the joke and was a normal guy under the latex.
