Frank on MSNBC

Frank Conniff recently made an appearance on “Countdown With Keith Olbermann” with guest host Cenk Uygur.

You can watch it here.

Because this is already producing overtly political comments, we are closing comments.

New Short from RiffTrax…

Or the connection between monkeys, aimless folk guitar and doing words. Okay, there isn’t one.

Report from Sci-Fi London’s MST3K “All Nighter”

Sci-Fi-London threw a “MST3K All Nighter” last weekend.

Here’s a nice report on it.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Least-Convincing Teenagers in a Movie or Short

Alert reader Robert suggests:

How about “Least convincing teenagers/college students in an episode?”
From the geriatric college students in “Ring of Terror” to the 30-year-old “Teenagers from Outer Space,” episode casting directors must have been really lazy back then!

We definitely have to open this one up to shorts as well as movies, in which case I will have to nominate the unkempt, middle-aged college students in “Body Care and Grooming.”

What”s your pick?
