MST3K General

Officially an art house movie.

 

Took quite a while to do it (some 50 years).

 

One of the reasons why I'm so bummed that John "Torgo" Reynolds took his life so close to the premiere of the movie is that he didn't get to see the movie being rediscovered and his performance being elevated to legendary status. Can you imagine how sought after he'd be on the convention scene?

 

Oh he would. Of course by now he'd be pretty old to be traveling around the country being Torgo at these things.

 

In case you missed it, MST3K: The Return has been renewed for another season to be shown on Netflix next year.

 

Yep. They announced it during the Turkey Day marathon.

 

Oh wow, I missed the news. Great to hear.

 

Rifftrax has a new movie starring none other than The Room's Greg Sestero, who spends the entire movie doing the worst French accent you can imagine.

That's what happens when you don't have the steady hand of Tommy Wiseau guiding you.

 

Certainly!

 

Someone on DA I follow did a cool piece of fanart to Jack Frost from MST3K!

Someone needs to hurry up and do a good deed.

 

Lord yes! Of course I suppose getting a bear's head does wonders to one's self-worth I feel!

Crow: Loser status confirmed.

[towards the end of the movie, there's still the same (lack of) food]

Crow: PLEASE EAT ME!

 

Frank and Trace have been doing live riffing shows over Zoom. I’ve seen two and have enjoyed seeing these guys continue to do their thing after all these years. Next show is the classic Santa Claus vs The Devil

 

I like the riffing of The Phantom Planet during a flashback scene:

 

Hi Everyone, Let's Pitch In 'N Get Cracking Here In Louisiana Doing Right, Eh? Now Then. Hateful Rich Overbearing Ugly Guys Hurt Royally Everytime Someone Eats A Radish, Carrot, Hors-d'ouvres, And Never Does Dishes. Eventually Victor Eats Lunch Over Peoria Mit Ein Nauesburger Tog.

 

One of the Mads livestreams they had in interview with the girl from Manos. She sells handmade Manos costumes and also there's a memoir of the making of the movie I need to read.
