The Coolness Chronicles with Ryan Luis Rodriguez: Recent Episodes
Ryan Luis Rodriguez
It's me, Ryan, a wonky yet affable host dealing with life on the spectrum and too much useless knowledge. Together we'll take a time-traveling road trip through the history of the coolest avenues of popular culture. With jokes! Call it an audio documentary or call it a troubling manifesto, just don't call it late for dinner. Season 1: #MST3K. Season 2: "Airplane!"
For our fifty-fourth episode, we’re joined by Graham Skipper (“The Lonely Man with the Ghost Machine”) for a discussion of Dr. Brian Cox’s audio commentary for Danny Boyle’s 2007 science-fiction thriller “Sunshine”. If you like your movie podcasts to dabble in physics (the fun kind!), you won’t want to miss this one.
Ryan’s Recommendations: “Trainspotting” (1996), “Steve Jobs” (2015), and “T2 Trainspotting” (2017)

Does this franchise deserve to be seven films deep? Just how integral to its success is Brad Dourif? How did they make the leap to television? There’s a lot to address and we do our best.

We did it! We reached fifty episodes! We’re officially a toddler in podcast years! For this episode, friend of the show Case Aiken (“Men of Steel”, “Another Pass”) returns to discuss the commentary for the 1966 “Batman” feature film, as told by stars Adam West and Burt Ward. Is bombing ducks instead of nuns ethical? Did you realize the villains were featured in bizarre tilted frames because they’re crooked? What is the connection between Batman ’66 and the serials of the ‘40s? All these questions will be answered and more.

Despite what you have been led to believe, it’s not really about cars. We discuss Coppola’s desire to do something interesting with his wealth, how George Lucas bailed his mentor out after a decade of flops, why Martin Landau was robbed of an Academy Award nomination at the least, Coppola’s failure to secure Frank Capra as an executive producer, and so much more.

We talk about a lot of things, namely how weird it is that, at one point, Elliott Gould was a sex symbol and on the cover of “Time”. Also: flashing. It’s not just a term for exposing oneself in an ill-fitting trench coat, it’s also for cinematography!

That’s right, True Believers, we discuss ill-fated attempts to turn assault into comedy, trying to get ahead of “There’s Something About Mary”, the studio-mandated discouragement of potty mouth, and movies you should never watch with your mom, as told by Smith, producer Scott Mosier, and stars Jason Lee, Ben Affleck, and Jason Mewes.
Ryan's Recommendations: “Metropolitan” (1990), “Barcelona” (1994), and “The Last Days of Disco” (1998)

For our twentieth episode, we continue with the year 1993 (I swear I didn’t plan this) with the only official Tony Scott/Quentin Tarantino collaboration: “True Romance”. We discuss baffling decisions on behalf of the MPAA, carnal intentions toward Elvis Presley, murder-happy consciences, and the infamous “Sicilian scene”, as told by Tarantino.

For our eighteenth episode, we finish chronicling Sam Raimi’s “Evil Dead” trilogy with an installment that can definitely be described as the third chapter, 1993’s “Army of Darkness”. Just in time for its 30th anniversary, travel back to the Middle Ages with the lunkheaded chainsaw-limbed savior of humanity Ashley J. Williams. It’s a tale that involves unjustly issued NC-17 ratings, aborted attempts to adapt “The Shadow”, Marvel comics crossovers, and even the “Star Wars” card game (trust me, it will make more sense in the episode), as told by Raimi, star Bruce Campbell, and Raimi’s co-writer/brother Ivan.

For our fourth episode, we're wrapping up October with the final SPOOOOOKY episode, AND we're doing something different.
Usually, we're explicitly covering movies through their audio commentaries, but we're also very much a physical media podcast. Accordingly, I invited the great Deanna Rooney ("MST3K") to discuss the disc for a film from her childhood: 1987's "The Gate"!
So many things will be revealed, not the least of which confessions of adolescent pyromania, the cool kind of Minions, recording movies off HBO, and the bizarre connection between young Stephen Dorff and Linda Hunt (hint: it involves "Dune").

For our third episode, we're continuing to celebrate the month of October with some SPOOOOKY commentaries.
Usually, we review a movie through its commentary but this week is something a bit different. Instead of reviewing a movie, we're reviewing the audio commentary itself. What commentary is it? One of the best (if not THE best) "Jaws" rip-offs: "The Car", featuring director Elliot Silverstein and Arrow Video producer Callum Waddel. It's one of the most awkward things I've ever beheld and I have to share it with you. (Please don't sue me, Arrow.)
How much can a member of the old guard stonewall the new generation cinema bros? Why would you keep recording a commentary if your subject is in direct opposition to it? How does someone admit their film is a "Jaws" rip-off and then deny it minutes later?

For our second episode, we're starting to celebrate the month of October with some SPOOOOKY commentaries. You may ask, "why didn't you start the podcast in September since 'Armageddon' is not particularly festive?" And I would answer: "cuz I didn't think of it!"
This week, my vote for the scariest film ever made, 1974's "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" from a commentary featuring director Tobe Hooper, star Gunnar Hansen, and cinematographer Daniel Pearl.
How many leather faces does Leatherface have? Was shooting for a PG rating absolutely deluded? How did Lone Star beer single-handedly save the production? Does heat-induced madness excuse slashing your female lead's hand? Should anyone ever shoot for 27 hours straight?

Welcome to something completely new, the only commentary podcast that matters because, as far as I know, it's the only one that exists.
On our inaugural episode, we're tackling the commentary for Michael Bay's "Armageddon" featuring Bay, stars Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis, and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, but mainly we're focusing on the Master of Bayhem.
Did NASA need a cinematic facelift? Are asteroids really our number one planetary concern? Was the Criterion Collection asleep at the wheel when they chose to include this film? Did Ben Affleck use his air time to craft an unsuccessful RiffTrax audition? We'll attempt to answer all these questions, but don't hold it against us if we fail.

It’s a tale that involves Dry Sweltering American Summers, jokes designed to test the patience of audiences, crushes that have yet to dissipate, and last-minute wraparound segments.

It feels like a million years since this podcast was about “Mystery Science Theater 3000” but it once was. I know, it’s hard to believe, because it’s so goddamn memorable now.
Anyway, for the discussion of “Danger: Diabolik”, the original series finale, we cut an extensive Detour into Austin Powers, the international man of mystery.
But the excised stuff didn't hit the cutting room floor because it was too melancholy or profound. It was too shagadelic! It was too switched on. It made us too horny, baby!
Thrill as we gush about the inaugural 1997 installment then quickly lose patience with recycled gags and halfhearted performances, eventually erupting in outright hostility over the superfluous 6-minute (!!) cold open to "Goldmember".

Two Halloweens ago on the Patreon, we celebrated with a deep dive into the beloved Nicktoon Frank Conniff wrote for in the early-2000's: Jhonen Vasquez's "Invader Zim"!
We're going to talk timing (particularly the bad kind), making test audiences cry, episodes with the atmosphere of stress nightmares, a universe without hope or right angles, whether or not kids can relate to homicidal maniacs, and GIR in all his glory.

Something H.G. Wells probably never thought when writing "The Invisible Man" in 1897: "I hope somebody makes a TV show out of this, one that involves a magical wristwatch."
But that's what happened in 1976 with the debut of "Gemini Man" on NBC. This week, we tell the story of turkey-obsessed Agent Sam Casey and his brief time on-air, a story that involves a long lineage of invisible men on film and television and continues through the present day. No other podcast will cram Ben Murphy, Will Smith, and Daleks into 24 minutes, so join your wonky yet affable host for some very visible shenanigans!

The next round of episodes isn't quite ready yet, so we're taking a breather this month with exciting episodes from the Coolness Chronicles Patreon, carefully curated for your curiosity (I like words that begin with "C").
Today we're Reconsidering a RiffTrax classic: the 1989 feature-length Nintendo/Universal Studios commercial "The Wizard".
We'll discuss the effectiveness of product placement, the magic of watching people play video games, mourning the King Kong Encounter, and the shitty implications of one particular character's vaguely coded autism.

Last week, we carried on the death march that is the filmography of the worst writer/directors of the 2000s, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. This week, we’re course-correcting by discussing four of the decade’s comparatively highest satirical highlights. We’re going deep into "Not Another Teen Movie", "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist", "Down with Love" and "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story". It’s a tale that involves shots fired at She’s All That, directors digitally inserting themselves into ‘70s kung-fu flicks, a throwback to the age of sex comedies minus the sex, and the film so laser-accurate and lacerating that it killed the musical biopic.

Last week, we wrapped up a deep dive into the "Scary Movie" franchise. This week, we’re going deeper into two of the writers of the original "Scary Movie": Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the worst writer/directors of the 21st century. It’s a tale that involves countless parodies, none of them good, most of them barely parodies.
"Date Movie". "Epic Movie". "Meet the Spartans". "Disaster Movie". "Vampires Suck". "The Starving Games". "Best Night Ever". "Superfast". Oof. Ouch.

Last week, we started our deep dive into the "Scary Movie" franchise with the first two installments, and this week we’re wrapping everything up with the David Zucker era: "Scary Movie" 3 through 5. It’s a tale that involves unceremonious firings, even more backbreaking productions, characters rising from the grave AGAIN, remorseful directors, and one parody too many.

This week, we’re starting a two-part deep dive into the most financially successful spoof franchise in history: "Scary Movie". There’s no accounting for taste. It’s a tale that involves satires on satires, timely "Matrix" references, insane deadlines, last-minute parodies, and possibly the most lenient R-rating to ever be issued by the MPAA.
Plus, in the second half of this episode, my friend Candy Allison-Smith from "The House That Screams" stops by to help me discuss 2001’s much-maligned rush-job sequel "Scary Movie 2".

It’s a tale that involves well-timed baseball seasons, substandard remakes, long overdue and undercooked sequels, and even the return of three aforementioned stooges: Moe, Larry, and Curly.

It’s a tale that involves inaccurate representations of schizophrenia, inadvisable use of body-distorting fat suits, and even questions regarding Eva Mendes’ disturbing lack of prominence in the “Fast & Furious” series. Obviously, one of these issues is less egregious than the other two.

We've covered Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker and their influences, but what about the filmmakers they inspired? Today, it's the first part of a three-part deep dive into the gross-out directing duo who worshipped at the altar of Z-A-Z: Peter and Bobby Farrelly, the Farrelly Brothers! We begin with their first three films: "Dumb & Dumber", "Kingpin", and "There's Something About Mary".
It’s a tale that involves precious bodily fluids ruining a perfectly good hairdo, unexpectedly sweet comedies about Amish bowlers, and the two dumbest guys you’re ever likely to meet.

It's been a while since we visited with the former members of Z-A-Z. Actually, it's only been two weeks, but it felt like a while. So today we're visiting with writer/director Jim Abrahams for a beloved 1990s parody duology: "Hot Shots!" and its sequel "Hot Shots! Part Deux". Hope you like spoofs of "Top Gun" and "Rambo", 'cause that's what you're gonna get baybee!
It’s a tale that involves satirized dictators, references to "Lady and the Tramp", numerous pairs of aviator sunglasses, model planes, and a serious lack of shirtless volleyball.

The '90s. America Online, Windows 95, "Friends". It was a hell of a decade. And this week, we're concluding our deep dive into the many spoofs and parodies the decade had to offer like "Forgotten Silver", "Wrongfully Accused", "Top of the Food Chain" and "Spy Hard".
It’s a tale that involves Peter Jackson getting meta, stylistic satires of ‘50s alien invasion pictures, and Leslie Nielsen spying and also going on the lam.

And this week, we're starting a deep dive into the many spoofs and parodies the decade had to offer like "National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1", "Fear of a Black Hat", "Fatal Instinct", and "A Fistful of Fingers".
That's right, it's a "Lethal Weapon" knock-off, a hip-hop mockumentary, a PG-13 erotic thriller, and even a handmade spaghetti western.

You've heard of at least one of these. It's "Big Business" obviously.

Is there a more misunderstood film in recent memory than Paul Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers"? Don't answer, it's rhetorical.
We will place the 1997 film in the context of Verhoeven's oeuvre, quote actual reviews that missed the forest for the trees, discuss the right-wing jingoism of Robert Heinlein, offer theories for why Denise Richards is playing a native resident of Argentina, and listen to Verhoeven scream like a lunatic on the film's audio commentary.

We're getting paranoid with "Modern Romance" and we'll lose ourselves in "Lost in America".

That's right, it's time for an unofficial trilogy of brilliant comedies including "Waiting for Guffman", "Best in Show", and "A Mighty Wind" with special guest star Bobby LePire (Film Threat).
It’s a tale that involves oodles of eccentric characters, screenplay writing by notecard, the wise decision to let Fred Willard off the leash, and a surprising amount of respect for competitive dog pageants.

In honor of the holiday season ("Batman Returns" IS a Christmas movie), we're taking a break from Season 2 of the podcast with a peek behind the paywall, sharing with the regular listener the glorious stuff you can only find on The Coolness Chronicles Patreon. And what more festive way to celebrate than a two-part discussion of the Caped Crusader?
This week, we're going to celebrate by continuing to Reconsider the original "Batman" movie series, chock full of embarrassing childhood confessions!
-"Batman Returns" traumatizes and creates a fan for life while parents comfort their crying children
-"Batman Forever" enraptures and inspires hopeless crushes (as well as bitchin' Halloween costumes)
-"Batman & Robin" kills a franchise... for eight years.
Say goodnight to the Caped Crusader! And hello! And goodnight again! And hello! And....

This week, we start to Reconsider a frequent target of RiffTrax mockery, "Batman & Robin"! But in order to allow for the proper context, we need to go back to the beginning. First the 1940s, then 1966, and then 1989 for Tim Burton's phenomenally successful (financially) "Batman"! Prepare for some hot takes and dark knights!

For the final new episode of 2021, a much-requested episode for which we’re dialing back the clock a bit to chronicle another film that, like “Airplane!”, came to define an entire subgenre: 1984’s improvised mockumentary masterpiece “This Is Spinal Tap”. How can you improvise an entire movie? That question will be answered!
It’s a story that involves zucchini codpieces, big bottoms, tiny Stonehenges, amps that go to 11, and numerous cold sores.

This week, we’re returning to the well of Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker with a discussion of their final film together as directors: 1986’s "Ruthless People". It’s a tale that involves a vicious circle of blackmail, urine injections for weight loss, identifying emotionally with kidnappers, and marked-down ransom amounts.
Plus, in the second half of this episode, Matt and Ashley from "Mashley at the Movies" stop by for another Community Outreach segment discussing their show and the 1984 Milos Forman masterpiece "Amadeus".

This week, we're concluding our salute to two masters of silly cinematic comedy: director Carl Reiner and Steve Martin. It's time for the glorious nonsense of 1983's "The Man with Two Brains" and the quasi-body swap slapstick of 1984's "All of Me".
It’s a tale that involves screw-top cranial surgery, elevator murders, and a masterclass in physical comedy.

This week, we're dialing back the clock to the year before "Airplane!" to salute two masters of silly cinematic comedy: director Carl Reiner and Steve Martin, beginning with the 1979 classic "The Jerk" and 1982's supremely underrated "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid".
It’s a tale that involves gently recycled stand-up routines, tender ukulele ballads, dangerously crossed eyes, and the greatest cinematic pastime: reusing clips from old movies without the expressed written consent of the actors in that footage.

This week, we're returning to Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker by covering my highlight of this season, the moment we've been building to for sixteen weeks, 1984's underappreciated masterpiece "Top Secret!".
It’s a tale that involves cow galoshes, insanely intricate sequences, tons of bird shit, an unexpected amount of musical numbers, and oodles of an impossibly pretty young man named Val Kilmer.
Plus, Jim from "Film Rage" stops by for a discussion of his podcast and the 1988 Ken Russell adaptation of Bram Stoker's "Lair of the White Worm". Join your wonky yet affable host!

It's time for the declining years, as we cover "At the Circus", "Go West", "The Big Store", "A Night in Casablanca", and "Love Happy".
It’s a tale that involves circus sideshows, premature retirements, and that time the Brothers made movies just to pay off one of their gambling debts.

So we must start at the very beginning with their first four films including "The Cocoanuts", "Animal Crackers" and "Monkey Business". It’s a tale that involves a thumb in the eye of high society, the brilliance of Margaret Dumont, direct translations of Broadway revues, and a how-to manual for spurning authority.
Plus, Josh Cohen from "Daleks Aren't Robots?!" joins your wonky yet affable host for a discussion of an early Marx masterpiece, "Horse Feathers".

We'll cover the unique set of circumstances that led to The Mouse's acquisition of Lucasfilm, the mad dash to finish what George Lucas started, the regressive impact of nostalgia, awesome yet unnecessary prequels, and another embarrassing story, this time involving me sobbing uncontrollably in a crowded theater.

The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000” is over, but before the podcast wraps, we're talking to people with a connection to the beloved series.
For our final MST3K episode (until Season 13 that is), I've invited Paste Magazine's Jim Vorel (author of the definitive ranking of every experiment) to help me sum up the series season by season. We'll chart the evolution of the creative process, decide where the program hits its stride, list the pitfalls of serialized storytelling, and almost come to blows regarding the relative value of "The Starfighters" and Coleman Francis. (I'm kidding. It's rather cordial.)
Say goodbye with your wonky yet affable host! (Again.)

The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, concludes its final chapter: The Next Generation!
Everything must come to an end, and so must this podcast. For three years we've discussed MST3K together. Me talking a lot, you listening silently in your cubicle or on the subway. It's a healthy relationship we're in. But I can't talk about some cowtown puppet show forever (even though the past three years have felt endless for you) so today we wrap up the series with The Return's cancellation by Netflix, live tours with increasingly less involvement of the original crew, recent Kickstarters, charity riffs, and a look toward what the future will bring The Coolness Chronicles.
Plus, my buddy The Vern of Cinema Recall stops by to chat about his hit podcast and Joe Dante's 2003 film "Looney Tunes: Back in Action"!
Join your wonky yet affable host for one last hurrah! (Except for next week. And the following week. And the week after that. But then it's done. Promise.)

It's time to bid the Satellite of Love good night (again), break down the relative success of the revival's serialized storytelling, talk the fine art of Dejarik, salute the decision to spend 30% of an episode referencing attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood, and take a Detour to 1982's "Conan the Barbarian".

We're starting our deep dive into Season 12 of MST3K a.k.a. The Gauntlet a.k.a. the final episodes ever* a.k.a. the end of this podcast as we know it a.k.a. it goes on like that.
And this week, it's the stellar first three episodes of this micro-season of television. Three movies that are each in their own ways crummy versions of other, much better movies (one of which wasn't even that good to start with: "Mac and Me" (complete with a Reverse Detour through "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial"), "Atlantic Rim", and "Lords of the Deep". All of these movies also deal with aliens (some Innerspace, some of the Outer variety), but I just put that together as I typed this intro.

So, how's your 2020 going? Great, right?
Since our Patreon has been going strong for a year, it's time to look back at the best of the weekly informative nonsense and other madcap audio adventures (some of which involve robot puppets) you can have for just $5 a month (plus early episodes) at http://www.patreon.com/coolnesschronicles. Or, if you just want to pitch in and hear your name at the end of every episode, it's just $1.
And even if you're unable to help keep this little cottage industry alive (or just don't want to), you get a generous sampling of a crapload of my favorite content that was previously unavailable to you. Some of it is even good!
Embarrassing childhood stories. Pure, unchecked rage. Digital monkeys. Fake gremlin puppets. Political analogies. Melting men. Impassioned speeches. Thirsty comments about John Phillip Law.

The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000” continues its Legacy stretch with Chapter 14: Extra-Curricular Activities!
Before RiffTrax, the trio of Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett, and Kevin Murphy reunited post-MST3K for The Film Crew, the shortlived bridge between two legendary eras.
It's a story that involves NPR, shady negotiation tactics, the saints at Shout! Factory, and, most importantly, four humorous "commentaries".
-Blanche Devereaux sheds her clothes in "Hollywood After Dark"
-Peter Graves gets probed by Marty Feldman lookalikes in "Killers from Space"
-The existence of white people plagues "Wild Women of Wongo"
-Boring senate scenes make me apologize to George Lucas in "The Giant of Marathon".
Join your wonky yet affable host for a look into a key and often-overlooked period in both "Mystery Science" AND RiffTrax!

The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000” continues its Legacy stretch with Chapter 14: Extra-Curricular Activities!
Last week we talked about the troubled history of one of the greatest series of the 1990s (and of all time), Paul Feig and Judd Apatow's "Freaks and Geeks", and this week we're talking about its quick cancellation and indelible legacy.
Did you know that 36% of movies and TV shows released after 2000 have at least one "F & G" cast member in them? It's true. I did the math. (Don't look it up, just trust me.)
We'll also discuss the series' spiritual sequel "Undeclared", Paul Feig's cosmic return to television "Other Space" (featuring a robot stowaway named A.R.T.), and a most unorthodox audio commentary for "The Heat" with 3/5 Cinematic Titanic members!
Join your wonky yet affable host for almost too much podcast AND shots fired at "Friday Night Lights"!

The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000” continues its Legacy stretch with Chapter 14: Extra-Curricular Activities!
Today we start talking "Freaks and Geeks", the first true MST3K reunion project (not billed as such). The quickly-canceled televised miracle from Paul Feig and Judd Apatow that launched a million careers and redefined the high school drama series as we know it.
We'll talk about trauma informing the writing process, NBC's refusal to throw the series a bone, the return of Count Floyd, pathos-infused disco dancing, preemptive series finales, and bitter, ignoble death. With jokes!
And did I mention that J. Elvis Weinstein, Joel Hodgson, and Trace Beaulieu all played significant parts in this whole masterful affair? Because they did!

Bill Corbett gives voice to dogs playing poker, a Lord of the Rings parody heads to TGI Friday's, Frank Conniff transforms into a giant baby, and Josh Weinstein takes the MST process one step further with "Fast Food Films".
But there are two key discussions this week that truly remind me of why I do this show: "Steven Universe" and "Space Ghost Coast to Coast".

Let’s wrap this up!
The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 13: Sunset on the Satellite.
It’s hard saying goodbye. But today, we must do just that and… I may be repeating myself. Where was I?
Oh, right, the Top 20 Episodes! This week it’s the final round, #10-1 in descending order.
This is where things may get controversial. MST3K means something different to everyone, and we may not see eye to eye but it’s important to remember one thing: the podcast is free, so you can’t do a damn thing about my choices.
Without revealing too much, the list includes post-apocalyptic scenarios, slob cops, mutant aliens, time travel, superheroes, Keenan Wynn (!!), and annoying critters. One last thing: flag on the moon.
Join your wonky yet affable host for the last episode before HUGE MONUMENTAL AMAZING BEAUTIFUL DAUNTING CHANGES (which we’ll recap at the end)!!!

Top 20 Countdown Time!
The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 13: Sunset on the Satellite.
It wouldn’t be an MST3K podcast without a Top 20 List, now would it? This week we’re covering #20-11 in descending order, and you may be surprised by what makes the cut.
This was a daunting proposition, not only because there are 197 episodes to comb through, but because every episode is really two things: a riff and a collection of sketches. Without spoilers, I’ll say that aliens, teenagers, monsters, wolves, and spiders all make the list. And a rented cat costume. And primal scream therapy. And Master Ninjas. Ooops!

All good things…
The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 13: Sunset on the Satellite.
It’s hard saying goodbye. But today, we must do just that and bid farewell to MST3K and this era of the podcast. We discuss the bittersweet series finale and why conclusions are as necessary as they are tearful.
The Satellite of Love comes crashing back to Earth, our Mads are scattered to the four corners of the Earth, Gypsy becomes a corporate tycoon, and, most importantly, the central trio of Mike, Crow, and Servo live happily ever after.
Oh, apparently there was a movie riffed, the splendid and colorful fumetti adaptation “Danger Diabolik”, which may be the best thing ever lampooned on the show. It has an Ennio Morricone (RIP) score and everything!
Let’s join hands, toast 11 years of amazing television and look toward a bright future, no tears streaming down our faces. Okay, maybe a few tears. A lot. I’m already crying.
(And don’t worry. Just because this phase of the podcast is over, your wonky yet affable host has MUCH more to share with you.)

Greetings, hosers!
The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 13: Sunset on the Satellite.
It turns out my ax against “Hamlet” hasn’t been fully ground yet, because we still have two more movies to discuss, both of which use the play in very different ways. Ernst Lubitsch and Jack Benny burn the Nazis with “To Be or Not to Be” and, most importantly, “SCTV” (kinda) comes to the big screen with the McKenzie Brothers in “Strange Brew”!
On the MST3K Front, a guy who looks like Tony Perkins becomes a Bat-Man (copyright DC Comics) in “It Lives by Night” and it’s time for a Biblical Epic revelation with a Detour through “The Robe”. Just when you think you had this podcast pegged….

Let’s get controversial!
The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 13: Sunset on the Satellite.
Well, we’ve finally arrived to the moment I’ve been dreading: that time when MST3K riffed “Hamlet”. Why dreading? I don’t care about Shakespeare. And trust me, we’ll get into it.
As a little bit of cultural exploration, I decided to break down the biggest feature adaptations of the play. Laurence Olivier’s Oscar-winner in 1948, Mel Gibson’s “sexy” revision in 1990, Kenneth “I’m a Fool for Dumping Emma Thompson” Branagh’s complete 1996 version, and an irritating modern reboot with Ethan Hawke in 2000.
But don’t worry, there are jokes too, and special appearances from Ricardo Montalban, Grand Moff Tarkin, the Boys from Brazil, Mork from Ork, King Mufasa (technically), and Bill Murray.

Mitchell returns for a surprisingly less fun cop movie: "Final Justice" starring the dyspeptic Joe Don Baker and directed by Greydon Clark, who last attacked your eyeballs and common decency with "Angels Revenge"!
We'll dissect the Maltese Tourism Board's decision to let this gross crime thriller represent their country, discuss future topics in the form of Greydon's RiffTrax "classics", and analyze the cathartic potential of slob jokes.
Plus, Mike tries to escape the Satellite over a bad JDB movie and leaves the bots a plaque honoring "Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo". This starts a huge Detour into the Herbie the Love Bug franchise. Keenan Wynn returns to scream like a feral lunatic, nasty stereotypes are around every turn, and many important questions are raised, namely:
If Herbie is alive, are all cars alive? If cars are alive, what is humankind's place in the universe?

This movie also leads us to the saga of its unjustly forgotten writer, Bill Finger, the rightful creator of everything you like about Batman.
But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom! We also have the story of Tom Laughlin, writer/director of "Billy Jack", the franchise that redefined the way this country watches movies, even though "Jaws" gets all the credit. His story is.... also sad.

This week, the tenth and formerly final season allows us to talk about a most terrifying trip through the backwoods of Arkansas, "Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues", and there is so much to discuss.
The director, Charles B. Pierce, has a fascinating history and surprising impact on the film industry, and we're covering all of it. From making the defining independent movie of the 1970s to influencing pop-culture with Dirty Harry's most memorable line of dialogue, Pierce's story deserves to finally be told!

Strap on your gold boots! Or your silver boots! We don't mean to discriminate against any color of boots!
The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 13: Sunset on the Satellite.
We continue our deep dive into the tenth and formerly final season with two more instant classics in a row. Hopeless go-go dancers dream of hitting the big time and getting high with Stacy Keach in "Girl in Gold Boots"! Ernest Borgnine traumatizes his bratty nephew with bedtime stories of roasted domestic animals and murderous cymbal banging monkeys in "Merlin's Rainforest Cafe of Mystical Wonders".
Why did Merlin marry Baron Harkonnen? Who chews things up and spits them into the toilet? How do you play the harmonica with unmentionable body parts? How much do you tip a stripping robot? All of these questions are ultimately left unanswered, but it feels good just to ask.
Plus? The exploitation director that provided a travelogue of late-'60s Los Angeles BEFORE Quentin Tarantino.

This week is positively Lynchian! (I may be using that word incorrectly.)
The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 13: Sunset on the Satellite.
We begin to explore the tenth and formerly final season with the landmark premiere, "Soultaker". Resemblances to Tanya Harding, aborted supporting roles for William Shatner, cosmic elevators, questioning the validity of Zeppelin, and the dynamic duo of Joe Estevez and Robert Z'Dar. Oh Z'No!
Joel Robinson returns to the Satellite of Love, TV's Frank re-materializes in Castle Forrester, and the two eras of MST3K collide when Joel and Mike Nelson finally meet face-to-face.
All that, plus a deep dive into David Lynch's 1986 masterpiece "Blue Velvet". THIS is podcasting!

Spinning off from last week's episode, it's the brand new sister series "One Track Mind", the only commentary podcast that matters because it's the only one that exists!
Every week we cover a bad or at least misunderstood movie through the prism of its audio commentary, that magical home video bonus feature that birthed the podcasting world.
On this pilot episode, the centerpiece of The Criterion Collection's (?) 2000 release of "Armageddon"!
Michael Bay lays bare his intentions for this sweaty turd of a blockbuster and makes any number of unfortunate statements that someone in legal somehow approved for mainstream release. Plus? Ben Affleck shows up to rip his future "Pearl Harbor" director to shreds.
The series will return in earnest later this fall, but until then, enjoy possibly the angriest thing your wonky yet affable host has ever written!

The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 12: Well-Oiled Machine.
Wrapping up Season 9 with the finale, "Quest of the Delta Knights", and the final Sci-Fi era special, the "2nd Annual Blockbuster Review".
What can you expect? David Warner in a dual role, shots fired at the 1998 "Godzilla", Goombah Leonardo Da Vinci, pumpkin-flavored soft drinks, and the first reference to Anne Heche in "Volcano" that any podcaster has ever made. The coast is toast.
All that, plus a deep dive into Michael Bay's "Armageddon", a sweaty turd of a disaster movie, and a prelude to a new spin-off podcast debuting next week!

"Devil Fish" brings us Europeans poorly posing as Floridians, dolphins aligning with electricians, and Sci-Fi Channel tastefully obscuring a glimpse of male genitalia.
"The Screaming Skull" has absurd fright releases, sub-William Castle sensationalist marketing, and a score that recalls "My Sharona".

Today is a special anniversary, so we're celebrating by answering a question.
This season on the History and Legacy of Mystery Science Theater 3000 can't go on forever (even if it feels like it might), so what happens next?
In 2021 The Coolness Chronicles will be no more. In its place? The Shirley Chronicles, chronicling the funniest movie ever made ("Airplane!") and its legacy of cinematic anarchy.
Fear not, it gets more complicated from there. 2021. Stay tuned!

There IS beer on the sun!
The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 12: Well-Oiled Machine.
Today we discuss two experiments that couldn't be more different.
In "The Touch of Satan", Robert Easton returns to burn a poor young witch at the stake, after last seen being shoved into an alien spider's butt. Our points of conversation include the icky implications of the film's title and the surprising creative pedigree behind the camera, like Jordan Cronenweth, whose lensing defined genre cinema in the 1980's.
In "The Final Sacrifice", Canada finally receives the superhero it deserves: hard-drinking, jean jacket-wearing, mullet-sporting former cultist Zap Rowsdower. We'll talk about the surprising late-career of director Tjardus Greidanus and bask in the glory of living Yosemite Sam/Rowlf mash-up Pipper, who supplies the greatest 5 minutes in the entire Sci-Fi Channel Era.

Since this week's discussion is all about "Gorgo", in which a sympathetic lizard destroys a metropolitan area, we're taking a reverse Detour through the saga of a sympathetic monkey who destroys New York: "King Kong".
Because movie studios were craven capitalists even in 1933, there is a terrible sequel. And a remake in 1977. And a sequel to that remake in 1986.
But all hope is not lost. Universal Studios used these franchise building blocks to bring the world Kongfrontation. Your wonky yet affable host may cry ugly tears of mourning, so bring a tissue.

The Professor from "Gilligan's Island" is in fact killed in his sleep by a giant jelly brain from Heaven. MC Hammer does factor in somehow. All of these things are true and acknowledged.
But the most special part? A huge conversation about "The Addams Family" (the original series and two awesome movies). How did Raul Julia's portrayal of Gomez help your wonky yet affable host feel represented in American culture? Why are the Addams' the most well-adjusted family in television history?

A Detour into one of the topics of discussion: Paul Thomas Anderson's magnum opus "Booger Nights".
I think that's what is called.

The end of Season 8 grows clearer with a time-travel adventure called "Time Chasers". But what about the trilogy it stole wholesale from? Fear not, that's here too.
It's my favorite episode of the podcast proper thus far, not just because the "Back to the Future" Trilogy is so close to my heart (as is The Ride, but we'll get to that), but everything clicks this week. Focused, informative, actually funny for once. This episode has got it all.

SOOOOUULLL TRANSMIGRATION!
The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 12: Sci-Fi Odyssey!
Season 8 deals out the first of three half-hour specials that signal the birth of RiffTrax (the Summer Blockbuster Review), as well as horror hot dog monster musicals ("Horror of Party Beach") and the sixth-best movie about ventriloquists and their evil dummies ("Devil Doll").
What are the five better movies? A comprehensive Detour will cover all, including "The Twilight Zone", "Dead of Night" and, my favorite part of this episode, the Anthony Hopkins/Richard Attenborough/William Goldman jam "Magic".
All that and much more, like Luc Besson injecting LSD into your eyeballs with "The Harry Canyon Story"... I mean "The Fifth Element". Continue the journey with your wonky yet affable host!

Let's go crazy, listeners.
The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 12: Sci-Fi Odyssey!
Season 8 yields canceled TV shows about invisible men posing a movies ("Riding with Death"), failed TV pilots about California-based spies posing as movies ("Agent for H.A.R.M."), and a double dose of reedited Japanese cosmic superheroes ("Prince of Space" and "Invasion of the Neptune Men").
But the real story of the hour is a deep dive into the cinematic legacy of the greatest pop craftsman in history, the Purple One, Prince.
I challenge you to name another podcast that can segue from the Chicken Man on Krankor to "The Magnificent Ambersons". Continue the journey with your wonky yet affable host!

PACKERS WIN THE SUPER BOWL!!!
The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000”, Chapter 12: Sci-Fi Odyssey!
Season 8 begins to fully form, becoming the version of the show that will carry it through the next two and a half years. This means our first revolting undisputed classic ("The Giant Spider Invasion"), the promising but flawed "parts: the clonus horror", the shockingly pedigreed cinematography of "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies" (plus Ortega!), and the Russo-Finnish acid trip that is "Jack Frost".
We'll even take Detours through "Gilligan's Island" and "The Island" (no relation), and recount that one time Ray Dennis Steckler had to bargain for titles with Stanley Kubrick. Continue the journey with your wonky yet affable host!

The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000” paused.
No time-traveling road trip truly complete without a few detours, but what if the detour was the entire week? In this Detour Chapter, it’s a clip show made of clips from other shows about the life and career of the Man once dubbed “The Voice of God”: Paul Frees. It’s an hour or so that covers everything from “The Manchurian Candidate” to the Fantastic Four to Toucan Sam and the Haunted Mansion. A legend who deserves his due. Oh, and “The Beatniks” is touched upon for about a minute.
