Our Next Feature Presentation: The Stuff (10/12)

Join Us Saturday, October 12th @ ~8:00PM (US/EDT) Here: http://cytu.be/r/TroperCoven


For the uninitiated... A contingent of tropers (mostly from across America) holds regular get-togethers over the Interwebs on this site called Synchtube which lets individuals, such as ourselves, open and join in text-based chatrooms within typical web browsers (Firefox, Chrome, et. al.) that allow the chat participants to view YouTube videos in synchronization with everyone else present (without even needing to set up an account)... and we've decided to use said chatrooms to play cheeseball webvideos and feature-length movies found in the public domain which stretch all the way from letters B to Z, which everyone subsequently riffs on a la MST3K.

For over EIGHT years, everybody who gets involved mostly finds good enjoymentnote  in calling out tropes that are recognized in the videos and stories and coming up with jokes to fling back at whatever's happening on the screen, many of which turn into various in-jokes and running gags (a Coven Glossary is kept and maintained for everyone's help and convenience HERE) to repeat in the chat.

We're always looking for new ways to better coordinate and expand our activities and are more than happy to welcome newcomers interested in joining our gatherings.

For a tacked on gimmick, next riff, we'll tear apart a popular artist's singles, until we nitpick enough to find the root of the problem, and hopefully some pantyhose.

Which artist will we break down first?

Too..far...

Chris Brown, if you're feeling ballsy. Flo Rida, if you're feeling masochistic, Justin Bieber, if we really got some steel testicles, Souja Boy, if we feel like Suicide, but Gucci Mane...-shudders-

Pometheus and I wanted to try and see if we could play Student Bodies again, provided we can gather the sizable crowd that that movie truly deserves.

Alright, I've decided who we will riff.

Gucci Mane. You can all thank Gregory for that.

Man! I missed Judge Dredd? Bluh.

I will come again tonight, or soon, if I can't make it.

We are watching the greatest slasher movie of all time. I'm being serious here.

[up]I don't know. Would Channel Five be viewed as on par with Ion Television in the US? That's the only place on television that I know of on this side of the pond that would air it. In English, anyway; I think one of the Spanish language networks has airing rights to a dubbed version.

Anyway, I've started the playlist tonight. Martial Arts of the Mystic Far East, Dubbed Audio of the Cheap and Indifferent Western Businessmen.

You know where to find me.

I know that a few weeks back Prometheus and I were trying to find Death Bed: The Bed That Eats to no avail, but as luck would have it now, somebody just uploaded it to youtube in the past week. Hallelujah!

There's no trailer, but here's comedian Patton Oswalt describing it in the most general terms for a few minutes, which is just as good as a trailer, I guess.

Guess what? We're watching the 104-minute pilot for Thunder in Paradise. If you are a fan of Baywatch and Knightrider and ever dreamed of those two shows being combined together and David Hasselhoff being replaced by Hulk Hogan, then your dreams have been answered.

Also, I'm serious about that "Suggestions" list in the OP. Anyone who finds a feature-length video*Note

that you think is good for us, let me know either here, via PM, or on Synchtube, and I'll add it to our list.

This won't be a guarantee that we'll ever watch any particular item on the list (for a number of different reasons), but I'm hoping that this idea could help us with coming up with polls to decide upcoming features more often.

You guys know what'd be fun? Riffing on none other than the Trope Maker of rifftraking, MST 3 K. It'd be hard, but it could work.

Because Synchtube hasn't been working for me :( yet some of these seem a shame to miss entirely... could someone post or PM me the feature links?

[up][up][up]A better idea, in my opinion, would to make an entire website for video reviews that review other video reviews on other places on the internet. ("Yo, Dawg, I heard you like screaming nerds on the Internet, so I made an angry review of the Nostalgia Critic making an angry review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III so now you can hear a nerd screaming while a nerd is screaming.")

Anyway, We got a show to get started now. Not sure what we're going to be watching yet, but with the Suggestions List now a real thing on the OP, I'll probably just pull two things from there to vote on while we watch the Batman serial.
