Since the demise of MST3K I have watched the alumni with interest as they have relocated to both "Cinematic Titanic" and "Rifftrax". It is becoming pretty obvious that the real talent behind the throne was Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy. Where CT is often amusing it never even glimpses the heights MST3K reached. That is not to say RT doesn't whiff on a few fastballs every now and then (Night of The Living Dead) but I just find myself laughing more at their antics than what CT produces. There has been some great stuff from Mr. Nelson and the crew but nothing close to "Santa and The Ice Cream Bunny". This nightmare of a children's film gets nuked from orbit by RT and has become an instant classic. We are talking almost within touching distance of such legendary MST episodes like "Manos" and "Mitchel". I haven't laughed so long and so hard in years. Kevin, Mike and Bill are in PEAK form here. This is an absolute riot and worth every penny. One word of caution though: Since they are no longer on TV, the language and content can be a little raw. If you have kids, you may want to save this one for after bedtime or when they are visiting the aunt. The DVD was well mastered and actually a REAL DVD, not a burn. You get both the Rifftrax audio AND the original audio of the movie. There are some slight cuts but nothing you are REALLY going to miss. This movie is almost unwatchable without the boys doing their thing.Read full review
Totally hilarious! Just like Mystery Science Theater 3000, taking bad movies and making them funny. The writer for MST3K is behind this show along with two coworkers, so it makes sense. There is a delightful sense of cynicism in these jokes about these bad movies, but when you watch a bad movie, you often feel a little cynical yourself. Mike is able to make this sense of cynicism very fun and delightful where it is not just mean or upsetting, but rather poking fun at and light hearted.
