Send them to msampo at a-o-l dot com.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s topic came to me this week, as I contemplated the upcoming start of the new season of Cinematic Titanic live shows, and along with the announcement of the latest RiffTrax VOD title, &#8220;Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe,&#8221; hard on the heels of the live show and the recent VOD release of &#8220;Galaxy Invader.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>What do those two things have in common? Well, to me it feels like the MST3K is truly back. Yes, it&#8217;s a hoot when RiffTrax does an audio track for a major Hollywood stinker, but the unreconstructed MSTie in me gets a special thrill when either group takes on a terrible, low-budget oldie, like &#8220;Maniac&#8221; or &#8220;The Alien Factor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And what that means to me is: for the first time in a long time, it&#8217;s possible that some of those bad, low-budget movies that MST3K never got around to may FINALLY, some day soon, get the treatment they deserve. Yay!<\/p>\n<p>So, with that wordy preamble, the question for the weekend is: If you had a chance to pitch one terrible movie to Cinematic Titanic and\/or RiffTrax, what would you suggest? <\/p>\n<p>For Cinematic Titanic, my gift is 1993&#8217;s &#8220;Catman: In the Boxer&#8217;s Blow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"420\" height=\"345\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PY3ASXgOuJA?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For RiffTrax, it&#8217;s 1976&#8217;s haunting &#8220;A*P*E.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"420\" height=\"345\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/943pcaqVQos?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>What would YOU pitch?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p id=\"top\" \/>First of all, please keep your discussion thread ideas coming!
