At least NChick is trying to climb that ladder. Lupa can't create shit unless it's attached to some obscure, laughably bad TV show or movie. Her material is going to run low, and she'll have to resort to even more meaningless subject matter, like the hundreds of ignored direct-to-video films that hit every year.
When she does that, the only people who watch that are other NEETs. That's pretty much the niche audience for that whole market now. All stuff by NEETs, for NEETs.
They all still want to be like MST3K. What they don't remember is that
- The show was the first to do it. That's why they got so popular. Everyone else deferred to them as some kind of geniuses, when they were really right place, right time.
- They actually tried to make their show family friendly. With the puppets, no cursing, and so on. This was important because
- they were originally on Sunday night. Even as a death-sentence for a long format show, it was done so cheaply it was hard to take it off the air. Which is why
- it was a surprise when it got cancelled. Only picked up for two more series on another new network that hadn't completely sold out or sucked yet.
The only ones left from that still kinda working are the Rifftrax guys. Amusingly, they followed the Lindsey model and sold out to do new movies, flavor guests of the month, and modern shit, with only the occasional live show funded by the community they can build on top of.
There's too much competition for to be the "queen of the obscure"--including the Walkers, which she absolutely hates. She's also made it clear she loves only Quantum Leap-era Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell.
Which is kind of like having a crush on younger David Cassidy or Pat Boone in current year.
I bet he can tell me why pretentious foreign films with child nudity and sexual undertones are beautiful and not at all creepy. Looking at you Is-Slottet, the fuck is wrong with that movie?
