'''''Incognito Cinema Warriors XP''''' -- ICWXP for short -- is a show which [[DirectToVideo debuted on DVD in 2008]], and as of 2011 is becoming a series of [[WebOriginal videos-on-demand]]. Somewhere between SketchComedy, improv, and late-night movie anthology, it shows some of the worst films imaginable -- or at least the kind of crappy [[BMovie B-movies]] an underfunded independent production can afford the rights to -- intercut with framing sequences following the life of Rick Wolf ([[TheDanza Rikk Wolf]]), a member of a zombie-fighting military branch known as CORPS, who takes refuge in the "Cine-A-Sorrow Theater" and is trapped there by [[MadScientist mad scientist]] Dr. Harrison Blackwood (Rob Atwell, a reference to the hero of the 1980s TV show adaptation of ''Series/WarOfTheWorlds''.). During the movies, Rick, Topsy Bot 5000 (Atwell, later Gregory Wyatt Tinnen, LATER later Nick Evans), and Johnny Cylon (Zach Legler), two robots Blackwood created to run the theater, mercilessly [[{{MST}} riff]] on the [[SoBadItsGood comically low quality]], portrayed in "Shadowrama" as they sit in the balcony of a theater showing the movies.

Not really. They\'re incognito because of the shadows and also hiding from zombies. Cinema is definitely involved. Rick is still technically in the military, and there are fight scenes, so warriors makes sense. Except the XP part.

'''''Incognito Cinema Warriors XP''''' -- ICWXP for short -- is a show which [[DirectToVideo debuted on DVD in 2008]], and as of 2011 is becoming a series of [[WebOriginal videos-on-demand]]. Somewhere between SketchComedy, improv, and late-night movie anthology, it shows some of the worst films imaginable -- or at least the kind of crappy [[BMovie B-movies]] an underfunded independent production can afford the rights to -- intercut with framing sequences following the life of Rick Wolf ([[TheDanza Rikk Wolf]]), a member of a zombie-fighting military branch known as CORPS, who takes refuge in the "Cine-A-Sorrow Theater" and is trapped there by [[MadScientist mad scientist]] Dr. Harrison Blackwood (Rob Atwell, a reference to the hero of the 1980s TV show adaptation of ''Series/WarOfTheWorlds''.). During the movies, Rick, Topsy Bot 5000 (Atwell, later Gregory Wyatt Tinnen, LATER later Nick Evans), and Johnny Cylon (Zach Legler), two robots Blackwood created to run the theater, mercilessly [[{{MST}} riff]] on the [[SoBadItsGood comically low quality]], portrayed in "Shadowrama" as they sit in the balcony of a theater showing the movies.
Sound familiar?
In spite of its borrowed premise ([[LampshadeHanging Blackwood mentions he got the idea for torture-by-movie from]] [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 an old cable show]]), it does stray from "[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 that other show]]" in some places, being explicitly not aimed at young audiences (there's a warning that it may not be appropriate for those under 13 on the back of the box) and tackling films with more "mature" content than the MST crew usually saw.
The show has been evolving remarkably quickly. The first episode featured a laugh track during the host segments, which was swiftly dropped in time for the second. By episode three, the show had introduced Professor Zedekiah "Zed" Logan (Rob Atwell, later Nick Evans), a sophisticated sentient zombie head (that still craves human flesh), and episode four saw the replacement of Blackwood and the swift introduction of a new villain Jonathan Kincaid (Tinnen) and an accompanying story arc. And this is all in the first four episodes.
As of season two, the show has switched to a half-hour format, riffing shorts rather than entire movies, with a ''much'' quicker production time and a stronger emphasis on story.
The official website is [[http://www.icwxp.com here]]. Episode 201 has just been released, and 202 is almost finished.
[[WMG:''ICWXP'' provides examples of:]]
* AlternateDVDCommentary
* AmazingFreakingGrace: Rick and the 'bots do this in wolf howls when the werewolf dies in ''Werewolf in a Girl's Dormitory''.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Blackwood is [[DisproportionateRetribution dragged off for brainwashing]] by Ludivico because some of his politics didn't line up, and he made personal calls on company time. He also stole office supplies. Guess which gets treated as a more serious offense.
-->'''Kincaid:''' Seriously, there's like a whole box of paper clips missing.
* ArtEvolution: Each puppet is an improvement over the last. Cylon and Topsy have LED lights for mouths and static eyes. Zed's mouth moves remarkably well, but he's still just a head in a jar (and his eyes don't move either.) The most recent bot, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEv6z4FGIsU Flux Namtari]], has a functioning mouth ''and'' arms. Also, [[http://www.icwxp.com/Updates.html Cylon is having functioning legs added]].
* AttractiveBentGender: Kincaid feels this way about Topsy. See CreepyCrossdresser below.
-->'''Kincaid:''' How much for the blonde?
* AudibleSharpness: When the spikes come out of the rest of the logo during the theme song.
* BadassBoast: Rick declaring he can fight his way out of the theater (which is surrounded by zombies) in the first episode. Unfortunately, Blackwood takes him up on it, and while Rick does kill a decent number of zombies eventually OhCrap sets in and he backs down.
* BalefulPolymorph: Episode one ends with Topsy turning Rick into a gorilla, and episode four ends with Topsy turning Cylon into a werewolf. By the creator's admission, it's basically the same joke twice, but the DVD for episode four's movie (''Werewolf in a Girl's Dormitory'') came with instructions for creating a werewolf and they felt obligated to use it.
* BigNameFan: The show has gotten praise from Michael J. Nelson, head writer of ''MST3K'' from season two on and the host of the show after Joel left. The back of each DVD features this quote from him:
-->"These guys are good. Fast paced, funny riffing throughout. Now fellahs, would you please stop making my job look easy!"
* BrainInAJar: Zed, of the "whole head" variety.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: In ''Bride of the Gorilla'', but unfortunately, unlike on ''MST3K'', there is no in-universe audience for them to be talking to. The bots do it once and Rick immediately asks them to stop because the poor wall is shaky enough as is. [[HypocriticalHumor He then promises us it won't happen again.]]
** By episode three, it's been firmly established through the FourthWallMailSlot that the content we're seeing is being broadcast to other zombie survivors, thus rebuilding the wall.
* CensorBox: Whenever the episode's movie gets pornographic (though this has only popped up during ''Lady Frankestein''), a censor box appears. It doesn't entirely cover the offending content, but darkens that area of the screen enough to be able to tell what's going on without actually seeing any privates.
* ChainsawGood: In episode one, Rick uses these to take out a large number of zombies when Blackwood takes him up on the aforementioned BadassBoast.
* ConspicuousCG: The door sequence in episodes one through three, less so from episode four onward.
* CreepyCrossdresser: Topsy in episode four, pretending to be a hooker.
* TheCorrupter: This seems to be part of Blackwood's goal, as he's happy to see Rick turn Darrell out to the zombies in episode two and Rick and the bots tormenting Zed in episode three. (Of course, the zombies won't touch Darrell and Zed makes no secret of his desire to eat the three.) There's also episode three's car...demon...hallucination...thing. Both are laughably bad at it.
* DarkerAndEdgier: In comparison to [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 that other show]], since it mainly riffs adult-rated horror films featuring tons of sex and nudity, something [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3k]] couldn't get away with on basic cable.
* DartboardOfHate: Rick is seen to have one of Blackwood in promotional materials. He removes Blackwood's picture when he's dragged off in Episode 4.
* TheDanza: Rikk Wolf as Rick Wolf.
* DeadpanSnarker: The entire cast, save Blackwood.
* DevelopmentHell: Again, let us remind you: there have been four episodes since 2008. Episode four suffered especially badly, to the point where the tagline called it "[[LampshadeHanging The About Friggin' Time Edition]]."
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Rikk Wolf does the vocals on both versions of the theme song.
* DoubleVision: Topsy and his [[RoboFamily grandfather]] utilize the same puppet, so they appear together via split-screen. (Topsy's grandfather's puppet uses the Blackwood beard.)
* DVDCommentary: A bonus feature on episode four is Rikk Wolf doing commentary on the story segments.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes[=/=]LostEpisode: Episode One is now and forever out of print due to too much EarlyInstallmentWeirdness and too little interest in a proper redo.
* LampshadeHanging: On ''[[BetterThanABareBulb everything]]'', from the absurdity of the premise to Blackwood's affinity for buttons that are flashing lights.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Whenever Zed switches from condescending sophistication to ravenous flesh-craving undead, it's accompanied by suitably deranged heavy metal music playing over his (heavy-metal-esque screaming) dialogue.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: In spite of five years passing between 104 and 201, the last thing Rick remembers is the last scene of 104 when he comes out of the torture machine. The brain-probing torture-by-movie device he spends most of the five years between in is implied to have something to do with it.

* OffTheShelfFX: Of the kitbashing variety, as well as the "surprisingly effective" one (mostly thanks to the paint jobs, which make it hard to tell that the bots are of this variety.)

* TheOtherDarrin: UpToEleven with Nick Evans for Gregory Wyatt Tinnen...for Rob Atwell as Topsy, and Nick Evans for Rob Atwell as Zed.

-->'''Kincaid''' (''on phone'')''':''' What's that? You're a mile away? [[LampshadeHanging And you say you saw that plot point coming?]]
* TheRemake: Kind of. Episode one, ''Bride of the Gorilla'', now discontinued, is getting a five-minute reriffing on the episode 201 DVD.
* {{Retcon}}: The viewscreen button on the wall that shows up in episode three to allow for the Crimson Executioner bit. Apparently it's been their the whole time and Rick just never noticed it. Also, the door sequence changes in episode four.
* RevolvingDoorCasting: Topsy suffers the brunt of this, but Zed isn't exactly well-off either (to the point of being rendered mute in 201, justified by five years of decay.)
* RunningGag: Each episode has at least one that spans only that episode--"I forgot there's no staaaaaairs" (when someone walks out a door), "The greatest acrobat in the world!" (when the character initially given the line makes a blunder) and the awesomeness of Lucky Strike cigarettes are prime examples.
* SelfDestructMechanism: Topsy and Cylon apparently have these built in. Blackwood is notably disappointed that they don't work in the first episode.
* ShockParty: Rick and the Bots throw one for Topsy's [[RoboFamily grandfather]] who has just had heart surgery, which causes him to die from the shock. (Yes, a robot had a heart attack. [[MST3KMantra Best not to dwell on these things too much.]])
* ShoutOut: Kincaid works for the [[Film/AClockworkOrange Ludivico]] Corperation. This is promptly LampShaded when Rick wonders why Kincaid is making him watch bad movies.
** Harrison Blackwood and Jonathan Kincaid also both share names with characters from the 1980s [[RecycledTheSeries TV show sequel]] to the 1953 film adaptation of ''[[WarOfTheWorlds War of the Worlds]]'', in tribute to the character of Dr. Clayton Forrester on ''MST3K'' (who shares his name with the hero of the original film.)
** Zed Logan's name is a shout out to SeanConnery's character in ''{{Zardoz}}'' and MarvelComics' {{Wolverine}}.
** The two additional CORPS agents that show up in the live-action version of the opening have name tags reading [[MST3K Nelson and Murphy]]. You can't really see the tags, but it's the thought that counts.
* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: Topsy and Cylon.
* SpiritualSuccessor: To [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 "that other show"]].
* StableTimeLoop: Blackwood claims to be broadcasting from prehistoric times at the end of episode three, in order to create a cave painting that will inspire one of his inventions when he sees it in a museum in the present day.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Subverted to hell and back with Kincaid, who actually knows what he's doing and can manipulate the theater more efficiently than Blackwood ever could.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: One of Blackwood's stock intercom announcements that play over the door sequences in episode four asks the theater visitors to "please remember that the blast doors are for your safety, not to trap you inside some sick experiment."
* TheStinger: As part of it's attempt to be as MST3K-like as possible.
* TalkingToHimself: Formerly Blackwood and Topsy, but now that Blackwood's been replaced with Kincaid...wait, Tinnen took over Topsy duties, never mind.
** Nick Evans will be playing a new character, Flux Namtari, alongside Zed as of episode six.
* TakeThat: Almost any pop cultural riff in any episode is bound to be this, but bonus points go to episode four for spending an entire [[strike:host]] story segment making fun of ''GhostAdventures''.
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Darrell from ''Lady Frankestein.''
* TimeSkip: Five years pass between season one and season two.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Darrell isn't desirable zombie fodder, which is why Rick has no qualms about locking him out of the theater at the end of episode two.
** Unfortunately for Darrell, he runs into his zombified mom - who is apparently used to Eau Du Darrell and has no problems digging in.
* UnusualEuphemism: ''Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory'' gives us "coming of age", a euphemism so unusual that Rick and the 'bots can't even figure out what it means. The three have fun finding increasingly more bizarre usages for it over the course of the episode.
-->'''Doctor in film:''' In my report from the coroner, he said the girl was assaulted by wolves, and she died of the injuries inflicted.
-->'''Cylon:''' Hm. Maybe she's just coming of age.
* VanillaEdition: And ''how''. Episode one didn't even have ''scene selection''. (This, of course, is lampshaded on the menu.) Episode four averts the trend, however.

-->"''WE'VE GOT ZOMBIE SIGNAL!''"
'''''Incognito Cinema Warriors XP''''' -- ICWXP for short -- is a show which [[DirectToVideo debuted on DVD in 2008]], and as of 2011 is becoming a series of [[WebOriginal videos-on-demand]]. Somewhere between SketchComedy, improv, and late-night movie anthology, it shows some of the worst films imaginable -- or at least the kind of crappy [[BMovie B-movies]] an underfunded independent production can afford the rights to -- intercut with framing sequences following the life of Rick Wolf ([[TheDanza Rikk Wolf]]), a member of a zombie-fighting military branch known as CORPS, who takes refuge in the "Cine-A-Sorrow Theater" and is trapped there by [[MadScientist mad scientist]] Dr. Harrison Blackwood (Rob Atwell, a reference to the hero of the 1980s TV show adaptation of ''Series/WarOfTheWorlds''.). During the movies, Rick, Topsy Bot 5000 (Atwell, later Gregory Wyatt Tinnen, LATER later Nick Evans), and Johnny Cylon (Zach Legler), two robots Blackwood created to run the theater, mercilessly [[{{MST}} riff]] on the [[SoBadItsGood comically low quality]], portrayed in "Shadowrama" as they sit in the balcony of a theater showing the movies.
Sound familiar?
In spite of its borrowed premise ([[LampshadeHanging Blackwood mentions he got the idea for torture-by-movie from]] [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 an old cable show]]), it does stray from "[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 that other show]]" in some places, being explicitly not aimed at young audiences (there's a warning that it may not be appropriate for those under 13 on the back of the box) and tackling films with more "mature" content than the MST crew usually saw.
The show has been evolving remarkably quickly. The first episode featured a laugh track during the host segments, which was swiftly dropped in time for the second. By episode three, the show had introduced Professor Zedekiah "Zed" Logan (Rob Atwell, later Nick Evans), a sophisticated sentient zombie head (that still craves human flesh), and episode four saw the replacement of Blackwood and the swift introduction of a new villain Jonathan Kincaid (Tinnen) and an accompanying story arc. And this is all in the first four episodes.
As of season two, the show has switched to a half-hour format, riffing shorts rather than entire movies, with a ''much'' quicker production time and a stronger emphasis on story.
The official website is [[http://www.icwxp.com here]]. Episode 201 has just been released, and 202 is almost finished.
