Reading the small trickle of reviews of the new "of course it's bad" Strangers movie and most are hinting that it goes off the rails at some point and there's a CGI pig attack for some reason. I now have more reason to watch it than I did after watching the last one.

Every time Barb Wire shows up, MST3K tanks, so I'm blaming this for the failure of the last fundraiser.

Some men play Football for God. Some men play Football for the Devil. This week's Cinema Playground sees both with Him and The Senior. We also have looks at A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, The History of Sound, Waltzing with Brando, Xeno, and Afterburn. mst3krifftrax.blogspot.com/2025/09/cine...

Honoring the end of Downton Abbey by remembering the episode where some dude sneaks into Mary's room and pressures her into losing her virginity, but she's so good at it that he collapses dead. Then she has to wake up mother to tell her she was getting laid because there's a corpse in her room.

Wants a detailed list of which ones have boobs with timecodes so he doesn't have to sit through four hours of Swedish trash just so he can see nips.

What movie do you consider "perfect"?

I hope James Gunn knows that if he does a follow-up to Superman then he is required to bring Eve back and show feet. #MutantToes

The Senior ⭐️⭐️ "I swear to god, there's an episode of King of the Hill that's exactly like this, and, somehow, that was more heartfelt and endearing."

I recently spoke to JOEL MCHALE about MST3K, his guest appearance on Season 11 as Doug McClure, and what it was like growing up with the show. Also learn what his dog got up to during our chat!

Afterburn ⭐️⭐️1/2 "Even though we already had a genuine Paul W.S. Anderson movie starring Dave Bautista this year, somehow Afterburn is the most Paul W.S. Anderson movie starring Dave Bautista of the year."

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey ⭐️⭐️ "What's weird about this movie is that it's very clear that it doesn't work but it's so tender-hearted that it's difficult to dislike based on how committed it is to its own whimsical romanticism."

The History of Sound ⭐️⭐️1/2 "It's mostly a two-hour generator of pining looks from Paul Mascal with little nuance to the drama. I suppose one could defend the movie citing internal conflict but the internal conflict never seems to shift. It just sits still like in a staring contest."

Sherlock Jr. (USA, 1924). It is a comedy film starring and directed by Buster Keaton and written by Clyde Bruckman, Jean Havez, and Joseph A. Mitchell. It features Kathryn McGuire, Joe Keaton, and Ward Crane. Wikipedia link: en.wikipedia.org/wik.... #silentfilm #classicfilm

Waltzing with Brando ⭐️⭐️ 'The movie feels like it's just an excuse for Billy Zane to do a Marlon Brando impression surrounded by naked women. To the movie's credit, it's a pretty decent impression and the naked women are exquisitely naked."

Xeno ⭐️⭐️ "The film is nothing if not earnest, wanting to genuinely ask the question of what if E.T. were gooey, scary, and flesh-eating, like the alien from Alien. The movie has very few ideas outside of this, coasting on Lulu Wilson's youthful energy."

Oh, I hate everything about this.

The kingdom and the wizards HAVE BEEN FOUND! The Wizards of the Lost Kingdom are now at RiffTrax! www.rifftrax.com/wizards-of-t...

Him ⭐️ "You can tell the movie is made with vision, with its commentary on the unhealthy pressure on athletes to push their limits and the cult-like nature of sports fans. The fact that the movie knows what it's saying makes the parallel fact that it's boring, junky, and shitty disheartening."

Goddammit, movie theater. You know that if you dangle a Hitchcock in front of me, I'm not going to say no.

Antifa terrorists

Just going to pretend all flags are half-mast for Robert Redford.

Post a horror movie everyone should see... #filmsky #horrorsky

#MST3K is such a distinct combination of different sensibilities, from love of movies to love of bad movies to love of pop culture to love of puppets and so on, that when you see it, you instantly know if you love it. And you know if people can make this show, you know you're not "the only one."

Recently I got to talk to Bill Hader about his love of bad late-night movies and #MST3K in particular. Find out his surprising connection to MITCHELL, and whether he was going to be involved with the most recent incarnation of the show, in this fascinating and very funny Q&A.

"It always made me feel less alone." I've heard this said by other MST3K fans, and I think it's just about the most gratifying thing you can hear about something you worked on.

MST3K has helped me get through some tough times, making me laugh when there was absolutely nothing in life to laugh about. A simple "thank you" just doesn't seem sufficient enough.

I'm sorry, but the movie Weapons is bullshit because Josh Brolin is clearly a conservative conspiracy theorist who blamed his life problems on a single liberal teacher and once it was disproven, he drops his conspiracy and works with her for a singular cause. Would never happen.

The Kid (USA, 1921). It is a comedy-drama film written, produced, directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin, and features Jackie Coogan as his foundling baby, adopted son and sidekick. Wikipedia link: en.wikipedia.org/wik... #silentfilm #classicfilm #cinema #film #movie

Pee-Wee Herman is now in the Criterion Collection and nobody can ever take that away from you.

This sounds like a threat.

ARISTOCRATS ASSEMBLE! Cinema Playground Journal celebrates the culmination of the Downton Abbey Cinematic Universe with their own personal Endgame, The Grand Finale! Also, we look at The Long Walk, Spinal Tap II, The Baltimorons, and Traumatika! mst3krifftrax.blogspot.com/2025/09/cine...

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues ⭐️⭐️1/2 "Full of snickers instead of belly laughs, Spinal Tap II never fully sells that the world is richer for reuniting the band forty years later. But if This Is Spinal Tap were to have any companion film at all, I'm just thankful that it's reasonably fun."

The Long Walk ⭐️⭐️⭐️ "If one was going to change the already not-excellent ending of the book, the last idea I would have chased is "make it even more melodramatic." But I guess Francis Lawrence picked up too many bad habits from that other survival book series that has been strangling his career."

The Baltimorons ⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Both odd and oddly endearing, The Baltimorons is an interesting display of an unlikely bond formed by seasonal depression. Those always form the strongest relationships, probably. I don't know, really. Just assuming."

I would post my top four Stephen King adaptations, but there is only one as far as I'm concerned

Traumatika ⭐️1/2 "It's at its strongest during the opening twenty minutes when it's a confident tour of its grotesqueries and star Rebekah Kennedy being fully committed to whatever it asks her to do. When it comes time to explain what is going on, the movie wears its flaws like a broken toilet."

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale ⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Downton Abbey is back to shovel posh comfort food into your mouth until you choke on it. Love it or hate it, nobody has that recipe nailed like Downton Abbey. Bridgerton, maybe, but that's a spicy smut rag finger food. Downton Abbey is the classy vegan tray."

Me: "Sliders." The internet: "But Sliders lasted five seasons." Me: "Boy, it sure is a shame Sliders was canceled after two seasons."

I didn't watch the entire Direct, but my general impression is that I didn't miss anything. Will buy the Mario Galaxy collection and while I won't be doing the online game bullshit, I'm totally buying that Virtual Boy stand. Also, Anya Taylor-Joy is still a Peach, I mean, Princess Peach that is

VIRTUAL BOY ON SWITCH!!!!! We’re gonna be okay folks.

Jumping straight into Super Mario Galaxy for your Mario sequel is certainly a choice. It's the best 3D Mario game, but I'm more inclined to believe that children would be more excited for a dinosaur heavy Super Mario World movie. But you hooked me the minute you said "Anya Taylor-Joy."

Star Trek: CANCELLED Animated Series: CANCELLED Next Generation: CANCELLED Deep Space Nine: CANCELLED Voyager: CANCELLED Enterprise: CANCELLED Discovery: CANCELLED Picard: CANCELLED Lower Decks: CANCELLED Prodigy: CANCELLED Boy, this article is depressing so far

Timeline needs a doomscrolling cleanse. Like This post and I'll post an episode of #MST3K I love. If we get to 227, I'll start posting RiffTrax and Cinematic Titanic, probably. There's only one way to find out.

#StrangeNewWorlds Season 3 is over. I'm not mad. Just disappointed.

Social media has rotted my brain to the point where I wake up to the news of someone abhorrent dying and it takes me longer than I want to admit to be able to tell if it's just a meme again.

What a coincidence. I'd describe David Zaslav as the same.
