Last post by Rev. Powell - August 05, 2026, 08:09:44 AMAnd they send us the pre-ordered box set sometime in December. That's what matters to me. I won't be watching the episodes as the debut, I'm going to use that Best Friends sub to watch stuff I don't already own. So no spoilers!
So I gather folks who didn't back the campaign have a choice of streaming them by subscribing to Rifftrax (would take two months sub to see them all), purchasing downloads directly, or waiting until the Blu-ray is released (I assume it will be sold to the general public, but I'm not sure?)

A Telugu blockbuster no less. For those wondering what the difference is between the standard Hindi Bollywood blockbusters and their South Indian cousins: if you think that the Bollywood output is too understated and mundane, then the Telugu film industry has you covered.
The movie starts with the climactic battle of the Mahabharata (in which most everbody dies). Krishna curses a warrior to walk the earth until such time he can protect the mother of Kalki, the last avatar of Vishnu.
Fast forward 6000 years, and the earth has become essentially Mad Max on Tatooine. The only place worth living in is the Complex, which literally sucks the resources out of the earth. Supreme Yaskin, the evil ruler of the Complex is doing unspeakable experiments on pregnant women. However, one pregnancy develops beyond expectations. The Resistance (because of course there is a Resistance) thinks that this unborn child might be the prophesied saviour.
This movie has everything. It is as if they asked everyone in the writing room to list their five favourite tropes or scenes from post-apocalyptic movies and then included all of them in the script, adding a dollop of classic Indian epic and Star Wars for good measure. Whatever you have on your bingo card of post-apocalyptic tropes, it will be full by the end of the movie. What with so much happening, the movie cycles through secondary characters at a prodigious rate: they appear, do their thing and then either get killed (mostly) or simply disappear again. An absolute riot!
Fun fact: part of the shooting of the movie coincided with Deepika Padukone's actual pregnancy, so those shots aren't faked.

Pretty well done found footage film about a family who decide to hike to a remote lakeshore region, only to disappear without a trace. Each part of the film highlights a different aspect of the dark secret of the Stickman's Hollow. Creepy! 4/5

Last post by M.10rda - August 05, 2026, 06:07:05 AMQuote from: lester1/2jr on August 04, 2026, 04:32:07 PMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAC994TScoQThe concept is fun - I was on the hook. However, after 2m30s, I stopped watching. I have no idea what the rest of it is like, but the images were assembled/edited by AI and I'm pretty sure the voice is AI too.
^ I watched this documentary, if you want to call it that, about an outrageous conspiracy theory asserting that certain mirrors made before 1880, with a different sort of process than they use now, somehow reflect memories of Tartaria, an alleged lost empire that was destroyed by mud floods. There's no way it's true: No one anywhere has any record of any society in this nondescript central Asian location that allegedly produced some form of modern electricity or something. Even if there were, why would a mirror take a picture of it?
The concept itself is fun, though. 4.25 /5
(Some of the line readings and transitions are wholly inorganic.) The images don't really make sense w/ the narration (as often is the case w/ AI) so at best it's a fun audio-drama - but there are several great spooky audio-dramas I've listened to that are created and voiced by humans - I don't need more AI in my life.
