Would this episode have been better with Mike at the helm?
Aaron Ramirez
Recon me some good ep's bros
Not the shitty reddit ones that everybody's seen
Camden Jenkins
That’s a great line.
Aaron Cooper
They’ve redone it on rifftrax, so you can see for yourself. I think it’s on prime? There’s a handful of rifftrax on there and I can’t remember if that’s one of them or not

>How do I into MST3K?
If you're just into MST3K you should generally stay away from the B&W genre films, Japanese monstershit and older films and aim for more modern color fare. Also, don't trust anyone who tells you to watch Manos: The Hands of Fate first. It's a meme and a mediocre episode. The following list are some of the best MST3K episodes for newfags as they have good riffing and are generally paired with somewhat modern movies.

It really is.

No. Mike was a writer at that time and it was still a meh episode. The reason people shill Manos is because they misunderstood the cast's hatred of the episode. It's a terrible movie and it was painful for them to do because when creating MST3K they literally have to watch shit films over and over to script the riffs. They particularly hated Manos. They weren't trying to endorse the episode as one of their best or say that the riffing is good, but that's the message the fans took. Manos is objectively not a bad episode. There are worse. But it's not particularly great either.
Asher Perry
All Mike. I see you're a man of fine taste, user.

Seconding Pima Man. It's the episode I break normies with
Eli Ortiz
The general consensus is that Mike was the better host, although there are some diehard Joel fans out there.
For Mike prince of Space is good, Space Mutiny is also a classic, as well as Time Chasers, and The Final Sacrifice.
For Joel, you might start with Santa vs the Martians, Pod People, or Red Zone Cuba.
MST3K The Movie was made between the two eras, so it still has the original voice of Crow the robot and Dr Forester plays the mad scientist villain. That might be a good place to start actually

What are you even babbling about, retard? Nobody is "doing" anything except posting about a show we like and that you clearly don't.
Robert King
Good list. One of my personal favorites is also that "LEAVE THE BRONX" episode, but I don't remember what the movie was called
Luis James
>Space Mutiny is also a classic
The Rifftrax Live for Space Mutiny is just as good- possibly even better -than the original and it's entirely different riffs plus footage that they couldn't include in the broadcast version. The short that they do before the film is also really good. I was shocked because usually Rifftrax are ok but kinda meh and the live ones are even more meh but this one is pretty great.
It may still be free to stream on amazon prime. I recommend it.
Brody Rivera
for me, its the rifftrax of roadhouse and the twilight series
Eli Morales
Rifftrax Fun in Balloonland is the peak of their art
(special mention to Miami Connection)
Logan Scott
daily reminder that Torgo was frying balls on LSD during the filming and commited suicide in 1966 before the film was released
Elijah Lopez
>Rifftrax
wish they'd do more modern features
Isaiah Price

Dominic Campbell
Switch:
Incredible strange zombies with invasion of Neptune men,
Deathstalker with overdrawn at the memory bank, and
Jack frost with agent for harm
And that would be puro kino. Honorable mention to gorgo and touch of Satan
Michael Johnson
I thought he was a heroin addict, not LSD
Eli Hall
>gets a heavy massage from a harem of affordable extras and then runs off into the night with his hands aflame, never to be seen again
Torgo had a hard life
Dominic Cruz
>roberts slurring his lines the entire movie
Jaxson Hernandez
Those are kino, epis. Don't get me wrong. I was just thinking really carefully about what a newcomer might be into. There are tons more kino episode that I haven't even started trying to rank.

>S10E03 Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders - spoopy stories starring Ernest Borgnine
Tier II - Netflixshit:
>Star Crash - not because the Netflix series is good (it's not). More because the film is must-see hot garbage and Rifftrax hasn't done it.
Tier II - Rifftraxshit:
>Battlefield Earth - same reason as above. it's a must-see terrible movie. riffing is good, but it's an early Rifftrax
>Space Mutiny (Rifftrax Live) - really good short before the movie and the movie itself has extended scenes not included in the MST3K version.
