Episode Seventy-five - Tina Carver and the Satellite of Love and Support Aug 16, 2017

Show notes

Are you a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000? Are you struggling and need someone to listen? Tina Carver tells us about her closed Facebook page, The Satellite of Love and Support (SOLAS). SOLAS is a support group for MSTies, run by MSTies, offering community support with addiction, anxiety, mental illness, eating disorders, health issues/chronic illness in a judgement-free zone. The podcast gang also discusses the end of the MST3K Watch Out For Snakes Tour and the latest Rifftrax Live/FATHOM event, “The Five Doctors.” Kate ponders that male howler monkeys with deeper, louder yells develop smaller testicles. Ryan feels nothing but seething rage faces for Greg dragging him to see “The Emoji Movie”, quite possibly the worst flick the gang has ever seen, even though Greg heart eyes/winky face/poop/ghost/fried shrimp/eggplants the feature. In the Mini Soda Review, Kate, Ryan and Greg all marvel at the unusual heat and full flavor of MacFuddy’s, “The Distinctively Strong Pepper Elixir.” In A Very Adamant Stance, the gang hops on the TARDIS and travels to Raxacoricofallapatorius to turn a Sonic Screwdriver on Whovians, one of the oldest TV fandoms in the world. All this, and a chipper troll doll who turns Ryan’s jaundiced worldview around with a hug and a song, on this week’s episode of the Revival League Podcast!

Show notes

Ooh, yeah! Get ready for some top rope splashes and cradle suplexes, that limousine ridin’, jet flyin’, kiss stealin’, wheelin' dealin,' son of a gun Zach Thompson dropped by the Revival League Studio to talk all things pro wrestling! Zach, who plays Bonehead #2 (Ricky) in the new season of “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” is a wrestling announcer in his hometown of Chicago. (And he’s not even the only wrestling announcer involved in MST3K!) Zach talks about his behind-the-scenes experiences on the Watch Out For Snakes Tour. And lifelong wrestling fans James and Zach chokeslam the Hulk Hogan cheesefest flick, “No Holds Barred.” Meanwhile, Babyface Greg curb stomps a giant snail invasion infesting Florida, and everyone admires the forearm smashes and head butt drops of “Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling,” Netflix’s new series. In the Mini-Soda Review, Greg serves up some stone cold Rowdy Roddy Piper All Out of Bubblegum Soda, and the gang praises “They Live!” Somewhere in there, Zach and Greg take a Very Adamant Stance against the silly names given to fandoms, and butcher the theme song to “Cheers.” All this, and Lou Albano getting whacked repeatedly by Cyndi Lauper’s Loaded Purse of Doom, on this week’s episode of the Revival League Podcast!

Show notes

The Candy Man Can! The comedians of the “Movie Sign With The Mads” Podcast (Frank Conniff, Trace Beaulieu, and Carolina Hidalgo) flew to Denver and dropped by the Revival League Studio to eat and critique movie candies! The Revival League Podcast gang (Greg, Ryan and James) foist on their guests classic sweet treats like Lemonheads, Cracker Jacks, SweeTarts, Whoppers, Raisinets, Black Crows, and SnoCaps, all washed down with an excellent artisan soda, Pig Iron Cola. Trace waxes nostalgic about pelting people with candy; Frank enthuses over RC Cola; Carolina remembers her favorite movie treats growing up in Mexico. Greg talks about how the full meals at the Alamo Drafthouse have spoiled his expectations of a theater food experience. Ryan still obsesses over the zither theme to “The Third Man”, while James imparts a wealth of trivia about the sweet treats cinema goers eat while watching the latest blockbuster.

Show notes

Hey hey, it’s the head writer for the “Late Show With Stephen Colbert” – Opus Moreschi! Opus discusses his work on the new season of MST3K, as well as being named for a cartoon penguin. Ryan and Erik from sister podcast “Junkmouth” drop by Greg’s apartment for a special recording session of the show (it’s not as creepy as it sounds). The Colorado-based podcast gang celebrates the Denver stop of the “MST3K Watch Out for Snakes Live Tour,” while Greg geeks out to getting a shout-out from none other than Joel Hodgson himself. Everyone lambastes the zither theme from classic film noir thriller, “The Third Man,” while Ryan seems a tad confused over the plot of “Spiderman: Homecoming.” Greg finally delivers on his homemade vanilla gelato, and makes the gang Sioux City Birch Beer floats. Plus, James and Ron tackle a double feature: "Progress Island" and "Assignment: Venezuela." All this, and a dark and gritty reboot of “New Zoo Review” that reimagines Henrietta Hippo and Charlie the Owl as avenging vigilantes, on this episode of the Revival League Podcast!
