Current favorite and least favorite MST3K movie and also current favorite and least favorite short? by mahmfic
=^= I love every episode for different reasons.. but the three that stand out the most are:
+ Season 11's The Beast of Hollow Mountain. From the movie to the riffs to the host segments, it just wonderful. I'd watch that movie without the riffs. One of my favorite riffs across the board comes from this one: "Mexican Walt Disney's pissed!"
+ Season 13's Beyond Atlantis. Emily's first (technically second.. OMG Making Contact, you have NO IDEA the Deep Hurting bizarra and I sat through.....) run is a terribly wonderful Mothercrabbin' movie that is just ALL ABOUT Sid Haig. LET'S ALL GO TO EDDIE CON!
+ Manos the Hands of Fate. I've actually seen this one riffed three times - MST3K; Frank & Trace; and Rifftrax - and the original is my favorite, though I'd watch the movie unriffed, at this point. Still wouldn't order the pizza, though. Jackey, who played Debbie in the movie, is the instructor of the MSTie-themed art class I've been in for a few years now. Sadly, I've only made it to one class, at this point.. but the fact that the one I did get to was Torgo is pretty kismet.
=^= Least favorite episode is probably The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies. The movie is terrible, yes.. but it's actually the riffs that make me not enjoy that one most. Mike and Bill have long since apologized for most of the writing that season, but that's the one I usually turn down or tune out.
=^= Favorite short is Last Clear Chance. It's not a happy short, of course, but Trace's delivery of "The station?" gets me every damn time. Also Hired Part 2, because "he bought the car!"
Honorable mention goes to Rifftrax and Shake Hands with Danger, which aired during the Rifftrax Live MST3K Reunion.
=^= I don't know if I have a least favorite short, honestly. Every one I can think of that is actual torture is a Rifftrax short LOL
While I have you.. if you're at all interested: Season 14 non-Kickstarter is live for another 17 days. They left Kickstarter (S13 had a LOT of problems) but without Kickstarter's pushing, it's been a little difficult to get word out outside the core crowd.
