Weekend Discussion Thread: Favorite Movie Sidekicks

Alert reader Chris writes:

Getting ready for the episode guide on Thursday for Puma Man made me think of why I enjoy that episode so much. And it’s honestly Vadinho. That guy cracks me up. I looked back through the weekend discussion threads and noticed that we’ve yet to do a “Wackiest/Funniest Sidekick” discussion [...]

Weekend Discussion Thread: Deleted Scenes

Alert reader Andrew writes:

So that we could enjoy host segs and shorts, MST3K often had to remove scenes from a target movie so that they could cram everything into two hours. I’d like to know if any Msties have seen any unMstied movies and what kind of scenes they cut.
For instance, in “It [...]

Weekend Discussion Thread: Best Episodes for Kids

Alert reader Molly writes:

As a mom I love to watch the show with my family, but limit episodes that I think are too violent or scary for my 5 year old. My daughter loves the host segments and all the Godzilla/Gamera ones, Squirm and Russian fairy tales. I remember growing up watching [...]

Weekend Discussion Thread: “Funny All By Itself” Movie Moments

Alert reader Joe writes (and by the way, keep those suggestions coming!):

On the “Overdrawn at the Memory Bank” topic, someone mentioned how unintentionally hilarious the line “Mom, my nuts?” was by itself.
I’d like to suggest a topic regarding unintentionally amusing lines in MSTed movies that didn’t require any “enhancement” from Mike/Joel and [...]

Weekend Discussion Thread: Action Figures

Alert reader Matthew writes:

Now that Crow and Tom Servo figures have been created, what action figures from the MSTed movies would you like to have or create? I’m talking primarily about characters from the movies themselves (i.e. Trumpy, Mr. B, Zap Rowsdower), and maybe for a separate list characters BBI came up with [...]

Weekend Discussion Thread: A Better Final Movie?

Again this week, I no longer can find the e-mail that came in with this from an alert reader. To the sender, my apologies. Please feel free to take credit in the comments and feel free to elaborate.

But an e-mail came in saying the the sender never really liked that “Diabolik” was chosen [...]

How Was the Show?

An open thread for reports from the Cinematic Titanic show in suburban Philadelphia tonight.
I was hoping to be there, but a family emergency arose and I wasn’t able to go. A pretty big disappointment for me.
If you have any nice photos, e-mail them and we’ll considering adding them.

Weekend Discussion Thread: What’dja Get?

I got a really neat logo hoodie.

Did you get any MST3K-related stuff?

Weekend Discussion Thread: Blurting Out MST3Kisms

Well, dang, I can’t find it now, but I got an e-mail a while back with a great suggestion for a discussion thread: Times when you have blurted out an MST3K line or phrase, only to realize that nobody around you has any idea what you’re referring to.
The guy gave a really funny [...]

Weekend Discussion Thread: Worst Attitudes Toward Women in MSTed Movies

Another topic that grew out of this week’s episode guide comments:

“BigZilla” wrote:

“I think a lot of film makers have issues with women.”
Ain’t that tha truth! In fact, horrible as it is, I think a good weekend discussion would be “most debased view of women in an MST3K film.”
Between this movie and The Creeping [...]
