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.

Oh, HO-OH-HOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo...
Time to kick off Kung Fu Friday with... the very first episode of the 1980's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon!

Well, here we go. After surviving Part I a week ago, it's time to prepare for more of the same with Atlas Shrugged II: The Strike (aka, "The One with the More Surprising 'Name' Actors Recast in Every Role").
Featuring Jason Beghe, Samantha Mathis, Patrick Fabian, Michael Gross, Esai Morales, Larissa Oleynik, Robert Picardo, Thomas F. Wilson, Ray Wise... and Teller.
Jesus wept.

Yep, no surprise there.
Anyway, following some fleeting glimpses of cRiT1KaL and Tommy Wiseau, we're diving head first into Atlas Shrugged II: The Strike...

Tonight, we get crackin' with Charlie Sheen, brother Emilio, and Keith David in the "garbage" classic Men at Work...
Alright, strap in for more throwback Maury Povich sensationalism on A Current Affair.
Then, at the top of the coming hour, we're hauling garbage in Men at Work. About time we got around to this one.

Tonight, we're finishing what we started, and if you missed out the first time, here's a second chance: "Turkish Garfield," Bad Cat...

For those wondering what went on, the movie had a weird sound desync glitch during the second half. I've never had that happen before, but I found a way to fix it.
I'm up for joining Discord servers! PM me if you know any good ones!
Alright, pre-show tonight is mainly comprised of a few new videos from cRiT1KaL and some lengthy videos that have otherwise been added to the playlist in recent days by the rest of you.
And, at the top of the coming hour we revisit/finish "Turkish Garfield" ...Bad Cat!

I've been waiting to show this movie for a long, long time.
It's a Quentin Tarantino movie before there ever were Quentin Tarantino movies. Naturally, it's an Italian western.
Gianni Garko stars in Have a Good Funeral, My Friend... Sartana Will Pay!
Okay, we're finding our groove with more British sketch comedy and getting things flowing.
If you can't be here at the top of the coming hour, then I urge you to seek this one out on its own (although it's on YouTube under an alternate title)—Have a Good Funeral, My Friend... Sartana Will Pay. The main character is basically a cross between Eastwood's "Man with No Name" and James Bond (In other words, an Italian western renegade with amazing gadgets).

We dedicate tonight to... your typical lukewarm revenge thriller.
Amanda Seyfried is on a quest to rescue her kidnapped sister from whom she believes to be a serial killer who had kidnapped herself two years prior.
This is Gone...
Okay, getting us warmed up with more random videos recently added to the playlist... and a short horror film.
Then, at the top of the coming hour, Amanda Seyfried is going all "revenge thriller" on those who've kidnapped her sister in Gone.

So, apparently many thrillers are amateur detective mysteries with lots of danger. In short, adult Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys. TIL!

Ho! Ho! Ho!
Time to begin our own annual 12 Days of Christmas (Ending on Christmas Eve) with some ultra-low budget kids movie we've never laid eyes on before called The Christmas Bunny.
It's probably not anywhere near as bad as Santa Meets the Ice Cream Bunny, but it seems pretty close.
EDIT: The trailer for tomorrow's movie is non-embeddable, and I can't find any other material from it, apart from the actual movie. If you feel like running a preview tonight, can you just play out the first 90 or so seconds from the full movie?

Miracles happen on Christmastime, which includes a new pet randomly showing up. Tonight, we meet The Christmas Bunny.
Before that, Bob Ross paints us some nice winter art.

Oh and btw, the way I discovered tonight's movie was via a Cracked article about insane Christmas movies. IIRC, it's the same article where I discovered Santa Claws, the one about the cats.

What's eatin' you, chief?
Hi everybody! I finally got the internet set up at the new house. So far everything has been great! One thing that's kind of odd: I keep running across this strange figurine every so often...
War is God.
a collection of small trees
Well, during the movie's early moments, I discovered that my living room has a fried electrical outlet, and it smells burnt very strongly. So I missed about 10-15 minutes of the early movie.
But I saw the rest, and got to see a disturbed, selectively mute 9-year-old push an even more disturbed boy (who tried to force her rabbit into a deathtrap for fun) onto the ground and take a big bite out of him.
So it was worth it. 👌
Also, who sees footprints that lead into the woods, says, "Yup, that's where she went," then walks back the other way instead of giving chase?
It got 🐰. But barely, due to two X votes, surviving only due to our "round up at .6" math.

It's garbage. And you should treat it like garbage. In a disposal.

So tonight's movie is the story of a brilliant young girl who is able to build an elaborate trap designed to ensnare Santa Claus, get her parents to call the cops on the "home intruder," and risk millions of kids going without presents when jolly old St. Nick is thrown in jail. Hilarious hijinks ensue.
Starring Dick Van Patten as Santa Claus, plus Shelly Long, Robert Hays, Stacy Keach, Corbin Bernsen, and Adrienne Barbeau.
This is The Santa Trap...
Alright, we're pulling out some holiday-centric entertainment, and following that at the top of the coming hour, we try to avoid getting snared in The Santa Trap.

Oh, HO-OH-HOOOOOoooooooooooo...
It's Kung Fu Friday, and I can't tell whether or not tonight's selection is something we've seen here before or not (I think we have seen it... or a sequel to it... or both this and a sequel).
Here, the basic premise involves legendary ninja weapons holding supernatural power. Now, the weapons of the last Koga Ninja have been entrusted to an American/gaijin student of ninjutsu studying in Japan. Action ensues.
Get set for the simply titled... Ninja.
