I’ve purchased (and watched) the first two episodes of this series. It’s not quite up to the level of fun that MST3K reached. I think that may due to the fact that having five people riffing makes the whole thing feel a little impersonal, and has less of that “hangin’ with your buddies” feel to it.
Still, the first two both had some hilarious moments, and they manage to pick films that are jaw-droppingly terrible without being boring.
It’s also nice to see that truly independent, web-drive entertainment is starting to get a foothold, although most of it still seems to be driven by existing mainstream media fame.
Variety puts up a positive review of the latest genre musical:
If the concept of the midnight movie weren’t moldering in its grave, “Repo! The Genetic Opera” would be cutting-edge fare for the latenight crowd; one can almost hear the aud’s partisan cheering for different internal organs, depending on what is being eviscerated at any particular moment. Pet project by Darren Lynn Bousman (who helmed the second, third and fourth “Saw” movies) is a bloody mess, saddled with a score that suggests Stephen Sondheim joined Blue Oyster Cult. But the Nov. 7 Lionsgate release will be a good time for the very strong of stomach.
Still sounds interesting to me.
