Movies in italics I've seen before.

Rifftrax: Star Wars Holiday Special
Bringing Up Baby (1938)
Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
Rifftrax Live: Samurai Cop
Rifftrax: Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny
Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet (1965)

I watched a lot of Rifftrax this week. I still don't rate them as being at the same level as MST3K, but they do find some seriously demented stuff sometimes (let me tell you all about Fun in Balloonland).

I knew Dog Day Afternoon by reputation, but nobody told me it would be so funny. The whole thing is laced with a sort of desperate humor that really works. Also, it has a young Lance Henriksen (who still looks like he's in his 40s).

Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet was my first movie night in several months. Don't worry, it was all done socially distanced. We all got onto Discord while I streamed the movie over Twitch. The pre-roll unfortunately glitched out, but the movie itself was smooth. There were some hiccups because everybody was slightly out-of-sync, but overall it worked out well. I'm looking forward to doing it again.
