I know many of your fans constantly bug you to take on a certain movie, but as a fanatic of “so bad it’s good” cinema I have to ask why you’ve never riffed a film from director Godfrey Ho? This guy is the master of cut and paste cinema and he has the ability to make even a good film look awful. The dubbing of his films make Sandy Frank dubs sound like the mathematical precision of Johann Sebastian Bach! Of course in the interest of diversity, you couldn’t do loads of goofy ninja movies but I’d love nothing more than to see 1 or perhaps even 2 films from Mr. Ho. I think Ninja Squad from 1987 would be a fine film for your staff to look at. Sure you may need to cut a little nudity to keep things family friendly, but with the horrible dubbing, the 2 films that are trying to masquerade as 1, the loud ridiculous costumes and the best ending ever, Ninja Squad would be riffing gold! Like the pioneering Joel Hodgson and Frank Conniff before me, I have dedicated a lot of my life to discovering “bad” obscure movies. I personally find these films to be so much more entertaining than the big budget blockbusters and I can always find some brilliant scenes from a film that even the most skilled critics may have missed. When I watch a film like ‘The Crawling Eye’ or Roger Corman’s ‘Fantastic Four’ it’s because I genuinely enjoy these pieces of cinema (not the word you thought I was going to use is it) and I want to spread that love and enjoyment to others. If you ever need someone to work for you in any way let me know. A pipe dream I know and I’m sure you get propositioned by 90% of your fans, but with 8000 movies under my belt I have a lot more cinematic knowledge and range than most. I’m all over the web on Twitter, Blogger, IMDb and YouTube under the moniker @AllNewSux if you‘re ever interested to take a look at what I do. Despite the fun being had at the expense of the films I always felt the central idea behind Mystery Science Theater and Rifftrax was of course laughter, but also getting people interested in cinema that they have never experienced. With AllNewSux, I’d like to think that’s what I’m doing although on a much smaller scale. Honestly, feel free to contact me back in regards to anything. Thanks.
