Weekend Discussion Thread: Fave Season Six Host Segments

Once again, I could get my list down to 12, so everybody else can have 12 too. Here are mine, in episode order:

• Song: “Nummy Muffin Coocol Butter”–605- COLOSSUS AND THE HEADHUNTERS: Frank croons. A great performance.
• Square dancing–607- BLOODLUST: I like segments that end in Looney Toons-esque chaos. NO FYUCHA!
• The bots thinks Mike is too nice, then they see what it would be like if Mike wasn’t nice–608- CODE NAME: DIAMOND HEAD: Mike channels DeNiro in “A Boy’s Life” hilariously.
• Swing choir competition–609- THE SKY DIVERS: One of the show’s great moments. Too goofy for words.
• Servo’s new head!–610- THE VIOLENT YEARS: As you know, this is my favorite episode, and this starts it off with a bang; another moment of inspired madness.
• The Mads unveil their theme music, “Living in Deep 13”, and demand themes from M&TB. Tom is ready!–610- THE VIOLENT YEARS: Another classic moment: all the theme songs are brilliant.
• The Mirror-Mads sing “Joey the Lemur.” In our universe, Crow and Mike struggle with Mirror-Servo–611- LAST OF THE WILD HORSES: I could pretty much pick any of the segments from this episode, but this is my favorite, with it’s gentle ribbing of Joel.
• The United Servo Academy Men’s Chorus performs–612- THE STARFIGHTERS: A tour-de-force for Kevin.
• “A joke by Ingmar Bergman”–617- THE SWORD AND THE DRAGON: A You-Tube perennial, pompous art meets shlocky midwestern yucks.
• Crow offers a plea for film anti-preservation, but Mike disapproves–621- THE BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS: I’ve always said the Academy should have had them do this sketch at the Oscars in 1997, the year after the film came out. The audience would have loved it.
• At Auntie McFrank’s bed and breakfast, Dr. F. demands that M&TB provide some “local color”–and soon regrets it–623- THE AMAZING TRANSPARENT MAN: Another indelible gem. You people bring matches for Sampo?
• Song: “Who will I kill?”–624- SAMSON VS. THE VAMPIRE WOMEN: No list would be complete. Trace steals the show.

Least favorite:
It’s Urkel! Hahahahaha!–614- SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL: Feh.

What are yours?

We Can’t Believe He Eight the Whole Thing

Instead of writing his eighth post at the Cinematic Titanic Web site, Josh Weinstein wrote, performed and posted a Ladysmith Black Mambazo-esque song about the number eight.

It so much fun hearing these guys’ voices again.

Other recent blog posts at the CT site:
• Frank spins a yarn about Mamie Eisenhower, waxes rhapsodic about the movie sings of Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, discusses three great westerns and five Martin Scorsese movies that threaten his health.
• Trace explains why Internet search engines are wonderful (Edward Everett Horton is somehow involved), offers a meditation on Tuesdays.
• Mary Jo confesses her fascination with “Rock of Love” and her dismay with the movie “21.”
• Josh names the four best things on his desk and contemplates titanism.

MST3K:TM on Cinemax On Demand

If you’re a Cinemax subscriber and have access to Cinemax On Demand, then you might also currently have 24/7 access to “Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie.” Apparently, not all cable services carry the full CoD schedule, so check your local cable box to see if this applies to you.

Thanks to Mike Byer for the head’s up!
