Turkey Day Schedule Released

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

Here’s when you can see your favorite movies during the Turkey week festivities It all weighs in at just over seven days, showing most items twice.

I’ve added two more “new” movies, Ring of Terror and Gamera. It’s not exactly the same version of Gamera the Brains used, General Curly Joe’s not in there, but close enough by my standards. I’ve also got fresh grabs for Master Ninja I and First Spaceship to Venus.

I’ve got two more new movies that’ll be surprises during the marathon, they’re listed as “Mystery Box” on the schedule, and I’m going to try to add new grabs for a few more movies.

Rocky! Winky! Fun!

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

From the newest addition to this year’s Turkey Week festivities, it’s everybody’s favorite dorky space sidekick, Winky, with his lullaby Sleepy Little Fella (drowsy little dame not included):


This is of course from episode 413’s Manhunt in Space, the first of two Rocky Jones telemovies the gang riffed. In addition to giving us both “Rockies” in our lineup, it also creates a run of 10 straight features from the middle of season 4. I hope to have a tentative schedule released in the next couple of days, but since Thanksgiving seems to have crept up on me this year, I’m still buy getting the screengrabs that determine the final timing of the whole festivities. But do tell your friends that it’ll be running from the Tuesday November 21st, 8 PM eastern until the 28th.

You had to be the High School Big Shot, didn’t you?

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

It’s that time of year again! Time for me to start plugging away for the upcoming 5th Anniversary Inventing Situations Bake Your Own Turkey Week tv juniors presented by food. Our first official addition is High School Big Shot, starring Tom Pittman as a crazy mixed up kid sharing a dank dank apartment with his even danker dad. I’ve got a few more movies on hand to add, and I’m still scouring the net and the discount bins. (more…)

Kolchak & Brains

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

Inspired by the odd obsession of one of noble competitors, we now have the too inside for anybody’s good LOLchak the Night Stalker, put together by UnReality of Caption This! fame. Am I posting this to mock the competition or because it’s funny? Umm, yes!

Meanwhile, former Brains continue to keep busy. In addition to the usual RiffTrax chicanery, The Giant of Marathon, the fourth (of four?) Film Crew movies by Mike, Kevin and Bill is out. (And like numbers two and three, you can request a free chance to caption it at IS. (Sure it’s more complicated and less instantaneous than other capping catalog systems, but I don’t think accidentally gotten stuck capping a request yet.)

And the Brains continue to make online videos! Huzzah.

Less Grabs About Buildings and Food

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

The larchesAs you may have noticed, over the past few weeks I’ve been quietly waging a campaign to make a drastic step-up in the quality of grabs in heavy rotation here. This doesn’t mean that every last building, keogh, landscape, industrial whosicallit, and virtually identical to the last one grab has been removed. It just means there are a lot fewer of them, and your odds of getting something more inspiring by refreshing the image a few times are a lot higher.
