This is an Ed Wood pic, so it's goofy, hammy and low budget, with stock characters aplenty, including Paul Marco in one of three appearances as Officer Kelton (Plan 9 being another). The gal reporters are brassy, the cops are doughy and harried, and the villains are European and communist, you know the deal. And Tor Johnson is there, doing the usual Tor things. Boy, I hope they treated the guy nice when the cameras weren't rolling, at least. Anyway, if you like Ed Wood's style of nonsense you'll be very happy with this film, and could probably stand to watch it without riffing, though a complimentary comedy commentary track certainly doesn't hurt.
BUT FIRST...there's a short, Hired! Part one. A great, 1940 inside baseball look at Chevy sales, in fact, with doughy guys and managerial dilemmas. It follows a newly minted car salesman as he struggles to get going, constantly getting scammed into taking trade ins on 1939 2 doors, and his boss, who can't figure out why fretting at the hopeless dweeb isn't getting things fixed. Luckily, fat bald dad is on the porch, handkerchief on his head, ready to discuss employee motivation. If there's a downside to this short, it's that it was shown in two parts, with the second part airing the next week with Manos.
All of the source material is fun here, and the riffing just piles the good times on. Throughout the short they roll with the punches wonderfully with a combination of snide comments about the quirks of the people presented and putting voices in their mouths and heads. The highlight would be Crow taking a quick dive into the new salesman's criminal record. In the main movie, though, they definitely take on a theme, focusing on all of the common Ed Wood stuff. There's a possibility that some of the jokes about Wood's personal life will bother some people, there's no denying that, as may a few cracks about the sad fate that was quickly approaching Lugosi. But there's also plenty of good fun had with the absolute absurdity of everything involving the monster, and the many weird things that happen, including several continuity errors in props and acting. Plus, they put some fun lines into Tor's mouth, which is the only real voice work he ever gets anyways, so that's fun.
So far, everything about this episode has been fun, in fact, and the episode certainly doesn't slow down on the SOL. We open with a great scene as Joel plays with Crow's dreams, then move on to two great inventions with the Mads' electric Tough Love Seat and Joel's funny (though now terribly dated) Microwave Faith Popcorn. The next segment, though, is the greatest gem of the episode. Coming fresh out of the short, the gang put on Hired! The Musical, and everyone really nails it. Even Joel & Gypsy comes through with their best performance on the show. It feels like they really liked this bit. They slow down a bit afterwards, discussing fish and olive loaf next, before trying to milk Wally the Waffle for all he was worth to defend the importance of advertising, before Cambot brings it all home with the crews' own cut of the film's finale.
Even the most laid back bit of the show, the third host segment, is a joy. In fact, the entire episode is really just GREAT. Especially Hired The Musical. It's THE Highlight of the episode. Get this episode. I'd personally go so far as to say it's more fun to watch than its neighbor, the vaunted Manos.
Get Bride of the Monster if you like: Ed Wood films, black and white D grade horror, or absolutely awful monsters.
Skip Bride of the Monster if you dislike: a couple of culturally insensitive jokes, stereotypes aplenty, or the automotive industry. But seriously, don't skip it.

They say they hate the Wii U, despite the awesome games Nintendo makes, but I have no prob with the Wii U what-so-ever!
Mario Kart 8 is an awesome racing game! You'll love the anti-gravity functions! But the best part is the Koopalings racing! You'll love how awesome they are in this game (Much more than the NMSBM series)
