Cinematic Titanic: The Alien Factor (FULL MOVIE)

[@charliechaos2551]

Being a decades long MST3k fan, watching these Cinematic Titanics is like hanging out with old friends. Really funny old friends.

[@JohnThelin]

One of the top ten riffs of all time. Incredible work from the gang.

[@hushicho]

One of the absolute best of Cinematic Titanic, and that's high praise. Frank and Mary Jo are my favs, but I love them all! There's so much to love about this absolute disaster of a movie -- the super full gas jug, Slade on a rescue mission, the totally official vehicles -- but the best is that it's NOT progeria!

[@MST3Kfan1]

This is my favorite Cinematic Titanic, although I love them all. The riffs are so great, Josh really stands out.

[@michaelriley1531]

One of my favs as well. Check out the ear to ear smile after Trace delivers one of the funniest and well timed riff’s ever. 1:03:10

[@jimmyface71]

I love all the incarnations of riff that these talented men and women have created, but there is something special about Cinematic Titanic. The episodes, especially the live ones, feel like a party you've been invited to. All that's missing is the light shade on your head...

[@dawa7267]

'THE END' was simply the icing on an already delicious cake! 😂😂😂

[@DigDug513]

Think about it won't you. Thank you😂😂😂

[@timhammell394]

Hey, I did the painting for the Cinemagic gargoyles logo and the title logo letters design. So long ago, fun to see on KZbin.

[@charleslaughton8092]

I remember when Cinematic Titanic made its debut, I bought every CD and have one that Trace autographed! Those were precious days when that gang reunited. This episode is my favorite but I love them all!

[@cynthiadunaway7596]

"Torgo music doesn't really work without Torgo."

[@LetsGetDerpy]

This is my favorite episode of Cinematic Titanic. This and Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks. Fun fact about this movie: It has a budget of just $3,500 USD and boy does it show!!

[@drewgeraci8434]

It's interesting how the 1970s references are lost on the audience because a whole generation was born and grew up since MST3K began. MAN, I love this episode! I can't tell you how much happiness you bring into my life.

[@thomaspalazzolo5902]

1:03:00 Frank and Mary Jo losing it after Trace's line is one of my all time favorite riffing moments.

[@lisvender]

I keep coming back to this video just for that “Uh-oh”

[@opinionsforsale]

So good! Wish Joel Would Have Kept Cinematic Titanic Going instead of a New Gen of MST3k. I don't Care how Old The Original cast Gets - They Are The Only MST3K crew for Me!

[@dougjb7848]

The Creeping Terror … now with more Creeping and less Terror.

[@vr3181]

Love, love LOVE Cinematic Titanic. SO happy to see it on this channel!

[@Robert-yc9ql]

Nicely done. 😊 MST3K has been a guilty pleasure since Joel started.

[@kt9166]

This one and RATTLERS are my favorite CT shows!

[@mjjoe76]

I saw Rattlers live, and it was excellent.

[@dawa7267]

'I WASN'T TOUCHING IT!!' 😂😂😂

[@mjjoe76]

This my favorite, even though Trace mispronounced “Kaukauna”. 😆

[@pastureexpectationsfarm6412]

J. Elvis also wrote the badass theme song! That's a talented dude!

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

If only they could have gotten Charles Nelson Reilly to play the part of the mayor...And the REAL Sam Elliott to play the sheriff! But it was good to see the Creature from the Black Lagoon making a comeback,...I mean a return, it's a RETURN to the cinema! Alright, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close up now!

[@dougjb7848]

Alien Factor? Alien hardly Knewer!!

[@giuseppi77]

This is my favorite CT.

[@brianlindstrand934]

Same.

[@theboombody]

Makes me laugh constantly throughout the whole darn thing.

[@michaeldonoghue9015]

“Have there ever in history been a two door cop car?” 😂😂😂

[@gregarioustumours2397]

I love when the riff makes co-riffers laugh. Then you know its an excellent riff😅

[@rothloaf1980]

"Purple mind porked" is my new favorite phrase.

[@balalaikatana]

Funniest failed riff is nobody getting Frank's "Flint" phone noise, one guy in the crowd laughs hysterically at the fact that nobody got it but him, Josh laughs at the *guy* laughing, and Frank mutters "I can't believe they didn't get that!!" The woman going "WHAAAAT???" at the cheap explosion, and Frank cracking up at her reaction is incredible, too. The intimate setting and interplay between audience and riffers for these CT Live shows really enhanced these episodes

[@juanthompson7395]

The fact I knew that bridge at 44:07 solidified the fact it was filmed in Maryland

[@ericfischer8295]

KEEP CIRCULATING THE TAPES

[@ZeroPop-Art]

More of these live shows on KZbin please !

[@Pocketrocket-pj1us]

Does Don Dohler ever Dissapoint? As Joel said, 'Think about it, won't you?' Thank YOU, 'This goes in the Master vault, as a new favorite.' You guys are amazing and I'm actually surprised, but Super pleased, you did this one, The 'Cinematic Titanic' way!! Love, peace & 'RIFF 'EM All'

[@Lokisdottir1964]

I had that very blue fur coat that the little girl in the ball scene is wearing lol. I loved it.

[@seth410]

ITS THREE DOG NIGHT!

[@mjjoe76]

When combined with “Mama told me not to come!” a few second later, that was probably the best riff of the whole movie.

[@gking407]

This was one of the movies of all time.

[@charliechaos2551]

Sheriff looks like "McCloud!"

[@thegreatsiberianitch]

J. Elvis is a hell of a name, if I do say so ma self.

[@4000Wiggins]

This is definitely one of my fav MST3Ks ever. I would have loved to have been there live.

[@edwardburek1717]

Absolutely magnificent!! Having watched the original a fair few years ago on Talking Pictures TV, or something like that, I thought "this flick needs the MST3K treatment". This is good enough for me.

[@thorandodin621]

This movie is linoleum quality

[@ImListeningToReason]

Corinthian Leather Quality!

[@pastureexpectationsfarm6412]

2-door cop car? Why yes, sirs and madam: I give you the 1982-1993 Ford Mustang 5.0. Probably no '69 Novas, though 😢

[@ASciFiBuff]

I saw them riff this live in Dallas when they were on tour.

[@mlshull]

Just imagine if this freak accident of a film survived as humanity's only testament that we existed....aliens really would write us off as a species then.

[@ramseydoon8277]

11:15 "Rex Walker, huh?" "Not anymore!"😂

[@theboombody]

The audience laughing at the end is priceless.

[@MichaelBreen.]

SLADE is on a rescue mission! 😂

[@EKeebler]

Did any other John Waters fans recognize Peggy Gravel's husband from Desperate Living? I spent the rest of the movie with eyes peeled for other Baltimore actors I might know. I love MST3K, but Cinematic Titanic is my all-time favorite.

[@Ryan-k9w]

..."Okay, they think it was a bear."...😂

[@kicksyo2171]

That was fantastic! Well done, CT!

[@divineglitch9550]

We love you cornjoel

[@KairuHakubi]

51:10 that is actually kind of an excellent monster movie premise.. i was about to say i've never seen that before, but actually, that was the ultimate plot of Okami.

[@insenir]

Oh my goodness I think this was the show I was at! I saw this at the McCarter Theater in Princeton NJ!

[@majingojira]

The CT live shows are my faves!

[@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt]

(Mary Jo "female" voice): "glug-glug-glug..." *hilarious!*

[@random22026]

I KNEW IT! Meteors don't 'LAND'! Probably Don Kirshner's/Paul Shafer's finest cinematic sinking.

[@lisaboban]

Thank you! Made my night!

[@brianlindstrand934]

This has one of my all-time favorite riffs. Joel's "Drake Unger" bit just floored me the first time I watched this and still cracks me up. Also, is Don Leifert as Ben Zachary one of the most annoying characters in all of cinema, or is it just me?

[@AROBASPARK]

Damn, the Station Wagon of the Sheriff in The Crater Lake Monster was more based than this Sheriff's Cop car. _ Edit _ State Trooper comes in with a Beetle - I stand corrected.

[@richards3648]

Well that was a movie that exists

[@mjjoe76]

And even that feels like a stretch to say.

[@ireallydidntwanttomakeanac575]

1:03:07 - Trace was so quick here.

[@moss5386g2x]

In some alternate universe they all went on to reboot MST3k after acquiring the rights. Sigh... what could have been.

[@deeprivercanada]

“Uh oh…” 😂

[@mongoardath1]

This is now on par with Graham Chapman in the Spam sketch, screaming "I DON'T LIKE SPAM!!". I can watch it endlessly and get the big laugh every time.

[@multitudeofidols]

How does a movie with two editors come off as though it had half of one?

[@mjjoe76]

There may have been more truth to the “quitting the film in disgust” riff than we realized.

[@ASteamingHam]

The Allen Factor? Rowsdower?

[@brianschroeder2292]

Awesome sauce!¡!

[@Pocketrocket-pj1us]

1:08:00 SPOILERS So ROTOR used the same Horn technique as ALIEN FACTOR, to slow the monster? I Love ROTOR & Donny Dohler ;) and I'm shocked by this grand Larceny!! The Funniest part, is the fact that ROTOR was a machine & this is a 'Living creature' and the Aliens in 'Signs' were killed by, (.........REDACTED.) When the riffing is this good I'll shut-up and just relax ;)

[@michaelevangatto1659]

[@KairuHakubi]

lol when did Josh ever go by J. Elvis

[@mjjoe76]

He did it to avoid confusion with the writer/producer from _The Simpsons_ who is also named -Bort- Josh Weinstein.

I love the commentary. As for the movie itself..... On paper this should have been a slam dunk. 3 alien animals being transported to Space Zoo escape and each one is a unique monster with it's own gimmicks and weaknesses. Then the twist that a Superhero Alien is sent to stop the three monsters and you have a B-Movie plot with some shake ups. The problem is the execution. As the Comentary pointed out, the padding in this movie is inexcusable! The scenes of people walking aimlessly through the forest happens way, WAY too many times, important scenes getting stretched out to be longer than they should. Don't even get me started on that random musical number that happens for no reason! On top of all of that is this half assed lame ending that makes very little sense and is so abrupt that I burst out laughing! That is NOT how you end a film. I have seen most of Cinematic Titanic and while I bashed this movie for it's terrible pacing, it is NOT the worst film these guys covered.... but it's not the best film they covered either. Cinematic Titanic tends to focus on more darker material and this was weirdly tame compared to the other films. Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks and the Oozing Skull were awful, but at least they had stuff MST3K couldn't show. I wanted to put this up there with Legacy of Blood, Blood of the Vampires and Genocide, but I can't. It's slightly worse than the Doomsday Machine as that film was consistent with it's themes but the Gianax Ending ruined it. I got angry with Doomsday Machine because it had everything in it's hands and still dropped the ball. This? I felt nothing. The Alien Factor needed some better writers or a higher budget. Something that would cut down the filler and replace it with something that expands the plot or characters. At least Tiki Island was fun.

[@princeofcupspoc9073]

It's just so nice NOT having Murphy ruining it with his juvenile poop jokes, lame impersonations, and pretentious jazz references. Josh, I blame you for leaving MST! There's no way Murphy could ever fill your shoes. At least you got Bill the gig when Trace left. That makes up for some of it. Oh, and I saw CT live in SF, and it was great.

[@TheVRSofa]

damn you can REALLY tell they had to script, practice and write down all this. its a real shame. the jokes werent bad but, the delivery, the timing. its all so...rehersed .and saying jokes sometimes before the clip theyure talking about has started. they need improv people. maybe ask red letter media, this seems like their sorta thing. they nail this :}

[@penguin303]

what a weird thing to say

[@ramseydoon8277]

Be honest, did you thumbs up your own comment? There wouldn't be any redlettermedia if it weren't for these improv people.
