Thanks to this thread, I went back and watched Overdrawn at the Memory Bank last night.
In the past couple of weeks, I've been struggling to get through episodes featured in MJ's Halloween-a-thon. For example, The Slime People took 2 or 3 nights to get through (I kept falling asleep). Samson vs. the Vampire Women was especially dreary and took me the better part of a week.
I made it through Overdrawn... with no problems at all. The movie & riffing engaged me the whole way.
I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

The dumbest thing I can remember doing was a couple years ago. I was building a deck, and cutting a PVC railing piece with a power miter saw. The piece was too short for the huge saw, and...long story short...there was about 30 seconds of me hopping around the backyard with blood everywhere, absolutely certain I had cut off the tips of 3 fingers.
Turns out it was just a flesh wound. But still...

Fry: My God, what if the secret ingredient is people? Leela: No, there's already a soda like that - Soylent Cola. Fry: Oh. How is it? Leela: It varies from person to person.

Oh, I don't watch it. It's strictly for my 10 and 8 year olds.

He's just a platypus. They don't do much.

At first, I tried to keep up with you on these. However, I'm now on night #4 of Samson vs. the Vampire Women. I just can't get through it without falling asleep. It reminds me of how I feel about "Cave Dwellers". I think I understand why other people like it, but it just has no appeal to me. There's nothing in the movie or the riffing that holds my attention. It's just dullsville, baby.
But it does make me think that having el Santo waltz nonchalantly into one of the Twilight movies would be a great idea.

Ah, Jimmy Smith. I love his stuff. He has one of my all-time favorite album covers, too:

How awesome was it that the Rangers scored twice (TWICE!) in the game from second base on a ground ball out?
Answer: Much awesome.
Aggressive baseball against a team playing scared will always pay off.

So after reading the review of The Slime People, I figured it was time to watch it again. About 10 minutes into the film, the thought struck me: I don't think I've ever watched this before. I know I've seen the Commando Cody short, and I remember the foggy & barely watchable print of the film. But I didn't remember a single thing about the movie itself. As the band of heroes got to the meat shop, I was sure of it; I was experiencing the bulk of this experiment for the first time ever.
It was an amazing thing. I never thought I'd get the experience of a new MST ever again.
As for the movie, it made me think of Robot Monster, which is a good thing. One question, though: what the heck was up with that group of people they saw on the road? Instead of trying to connect with the few survivors left, they made a quick U-turn and drove away. And it's never mentioned again.

Last night's episode might be my favorite yet. Season 2 has been outstanding so far. Which is too bad, because it's like the 4th least-watched show on any of the big-4 networks. I can't imagine it's going to survive much longer.

Enjoying the write-ups, MJ.
While I can't agree with you about "Track of the Moon Beast", I'll back your play 100% on "Night of the Blood Beast". Your post inspired me to watch that again last night. My favorite moment (other than the entire short) is still the riff: "I think we should eat this corpse."
As for "The Undead", I vote that you raise your review to silver. If for no other reason than for Mike's under-his-breath response to Servo's reminder of Smolken's sporadic nakedness. And the brain sandwich host segment goes on forever, but that's part of the appeal. Plus, mayo-NAISE! If that doesn't convince you to raise the grade, then do it for Alison Hayes's cleavage.
