208 LOST CONTINENT

208 LOST CONTINENT

What was supposed to be a film about a team of researchers finding a Lost World-like land where dinosaurs still reside quickly turns into a film about monotone idiots rock climbing. Normally, I try to stand up for Lost World knock-offs, but Lost Continent is just too boring to salvage. By the time that our heroes do get to the dinosaurs, you're already asleep.
Verdict: 1/4-zzzzzzzzzz....

The boys try their hardest in the theater, but when you're up agents a film as boring as this one...well, there just isn't enough to properly make fun of. The few times that things actually HAPPEN the boys are quite funny, but there's just too much dead air for it to get a very high recommendation.

OPENER: Joel gives the bots a pep talk
INVENTIONS: Frank's treadmill, Joel doesn't get any time for his invention
SEGMENT 1: Hugh Beamount visits the Hexfield
SEGMENT 2: The Explorers
SEGMENT 3: The Bots find something interesting out side.
END: Fun facts about Lost Continent
STINGER: Camp fire chant
OVERALL: There where some bits that got a good giggle out of me and the Invention Exchange (or lack thereof) was the highlight of the episode.

FINAL VERDICT: The film bogs the episode down with it's overwhelming boredom. The riffing was far from impressive, but the crew tried to deal with what they had.

207 Wild Rebels

It's all about the kicks baby! Man, I love me some exploitation, and this flick is all kinds of exploitive! Not too mention, it's all kinds of silly. So silly that it makes Sidehackers look gritty and realistic by comparison. I thought that this over-the-top little film was a riot all by itself! It would make for a great party movie.
Verdict: 4/4-Fun! Silly and over the top, this film is a goofy delight.

At first I thought that I was walking into a very Sidehacker-esque experience. I had my B- grade on standby and then BAM! This episode caught me completely off guard! The riffing in this episode reached new heights for MST3K. This was bar-none the best riffing that I've seen in the series thus far. I was laughing all the way though the theater, so much so that I found myself pausing the episode to catch my breath every now and again.

OPENER: Joel shuts off the SOL's higher functions so that Gypsy can talk out her problems
INVENTIONS: The Mads' hobby hogs, Joel’s 3-d Pizza
SEGMENT 1: Brainy Bikers
SEGMENT 2: Wild rebels cereal
SEGMENT 3: Joel sings to Gypsy
END: Joel cheers up the crew
STINGER: NONE
OVERALL: Much like the riff of the film, these host segments are top notch! Each one had me gasping for air. Man I gotta get me some Wild Rebels Cereal.

FINAL VERDICT: This episode is absolutely FANTASTIC, with constant hilarity throughout. An absolute
