Weekend Discussion Thread: Sell Tape Scenes

I’ve been getting some good suggestions for discussions (and keep ‘em coming!) but this one is actually one I thought of! Go figure!

In this week’s episode guide entry, I noted that a few minutes of theater riffing from that episode was included on the “best-of” tape Best Brains used to sell the show [...]

More Movie Poster Fun

We recently had a weekend discussion thread about movie posters. The topic has also been on the minds of some other fans. Check their collections out here and here.

And of course probably the best collections is here.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Dumbest Comment You’ve Ever Heard about the Show

Alert reader Brandon writes:

Has this one been done? “Dumbest comments ever said about MST3K, by non-fans”?
I got one from my dad. Whenever I put in an MST3K episode to watch my dad’s complaint is something along the lines of, “Why do you even bother watching this show for? The only reason you watch [...]

Weekend Discussion Thread: Most Memorable or Painful Deaths

Alert reader Michael suggests:

Most memorable and/or painful deaths in an MST Movie. This popped in my head after seeing Wilson getting shot with a flare gun. Examples: the guy who gets impaled with a giant hypodermic needle in “The Amazing Colossal Man,” Hubbs getting eaten by thousands of ants in “Phase IV” and [...]

Weekend Discussion Thread: Movie Posters

Alert reader Paul writes with a fun topic:

While watching Joel, Trace, and Josh promote Cinematic Titanic and discuss their past work on MSNBC’s Countdown recently, they mentioned how the filmmakers behind many of these B-movies would often put a great deal of work into the marketing efforts of the films to attract commercial [...]

Cinematic Titanic: The Trading Card

Our buddy Len Peralta at Jawbone Radio is currently working on an art project called “Geek A Week” in which every week he turns an influential “geek” into a trading card. This week, it’s Cinematic Titanic. Click on the thumbnails below to be taken to Len’s web pages for them.

(Len already did a [...]

Weekend Discussion Thread: Most Memorable Pesky Kid

Regular poster “Fart Bargo” suggested this one, but didn’t elaborate. Since we did “Gamera” in the episode guide this week (featuring uber-pesky Kenny), it seemed an appropriate topic.

I’m going to spotlight “Child” (played by Todd Bass, in his very last acting role, according to the IMDB) in the movie in episode 512- MITCHELL. [...]

Weekend Discussion Thread: Worst/Dumbest Plan by a Hero or Villain in a MSTed Movie

Alert reader Troy suggests:

What is the most ill-thought-out plan a villain/hero has come up with on MST3K?
Obviously, we can’t include any of Mike’s numerous attempts to escape the SOL. Also, this pre-supposes that the villain(s) of the film actually have a plan that doesn’t involve lumbering around, randomly killing people until they get [...]

Weekend Discussion Thread: Worst Commercials

Alert reader “darthlazy” suggested:

How about, for all who still have unedited tapes: Worst sponsor or commercial you had to sit through. Those Psychic Friends spots were TORCHA!

For me, one word suffices: o/` “APTIIIIIIIIVVVVVAAAAAAAAAA!” o/`

Long Weekend Discussion Thread: Movies They SHOULD Have Riffed

I thought we’d done this topic, but I guess I was confusing it with the “Christmas Movies They Should Have Riffed” and the “Shorts They Should Have Riffed” topics.

So, alert reader Mark writes:

Have you thought about a short list of movies that deserved MST treatment but never got it? I was thinking about [...]
