WBC Movie Night (Johnsonverse)

WBC Movie Night is an American anthology series that has aired on WBC since June 10, 2012.

The series, at the time of its premiere, wasn't actually a new series, but rather a rebranding of Monster World Movie Night, with the goal of having the series encompass all Johnson properties and licenses instead of focusing on just Monster World, which is how the series had been since its premiere in 2005.

Like Monster World Movie Night, the series was critically acclaimed for its riffing and skits.

Format
Like its predecessor, the series is in the style of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1989-present), featuring the characters riffing on various movies and television shows. Each episode begins with a roundtable discussion of the team introducing the movie or show. The characters appear as silhouettes in the lower-right corner of the screen, as if sitting in a movie theater. Throughout the feature, they riff on it for its entire run-time, commercial-free, with witty remarks, impersonations, and other comments.

Episodes also feature several host segments, featuring the team in a roundtable discussing the events that happened so far, doing wacky things, or both. Taking the place of the Mads is executive producer Tim Johnson; before the intro, he spins a Vegas-style wheel of fortune to "determine" which team would riff on the movie or show, before sending them the week's movie to the selected team.

The theme music, like Monster World Movie Night, is "Shooting Arrows" by Edd Kalehoff. It plays over a sequence showing a 3D version of Johnson's famous "Blue Globe", each rectangle containing clips from various movies, and more clips being added on the globe, forming the show's logo.

Riffing Teams
Unlike Monster World Movie Night, where it was just Shinji, Asuka, and Rei week in and week out, WBC Movie Night features a rotating stable of teams made up of two to eight riffers, all from Johnson series, properties, or licenses. All characters are portrayed as they are in their home series.

* In promotion of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie in February 2020, Sonic and Dr. Eggman were replaced by their movie counterparts (voiced by Ben Schwartz and Jim Carrey, respectively). The rest of the team was unchanged, with Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Shadow commenting on the switch.
