RIP Jack Perkins

Posted by Sampo, on August 20th, 2019

CASEY KEY, FLA–Avuncular NBC newsman and TV personality Jack Perkins died here Aug. 19. He was 85.
Television viewers across the country remember Perkins from his work on “NBC Nightly News” and “The Today Show,” along with his hosting duties for the “Biography” program on the A&E Network.
But MSTies will always remember Mike Nelson’s hilarious impression of Perkins starting with the host segments in episode 310- FUGITIVE ALIEN and recurring several more times.

The Sarasota Herald-Tribune has a nice tribute.

Thanks to Paul for the heads up.

Samuel Gelfman, RIP

Posted by Sampo, on August 18th, 2019

LOS ANGELES–producer Samuel Gelfman, best known at the producer of low-budget films “Caged Heat,” “Cockfighter” and “Cannonball!” for Roger Corman’s New World Pictures in the 1970s, died Aug. 15 at a hospital here of complications from heart and respiratory disease. He was 88.

But MSTies know him for his role as the fisherman in the movie in episode 704- THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN, a movie he also produced.

The Hollywood Reporter has the story.

Hat tip to Timmy for the heads up.

Weekend Discussion Thread: What If Nobody Knew About MST3K Except You?

Posted by Sampo, on August 17th, 2019

Alert reader John offers:

The recent movie “Yesterday,” where a man wakes up to a world where the Beatles never happened but he remembers them, got me thinking: What if you woke up one day and discovered that MST3K never happened but you remember it vividly? What would you do to bring it back to public knowledge?
I would create Youtube videos of the movies they riffed and try to crack all the jokes as best I could. (I can almost recite the “Manos” episode verbatim.)

Intriguing! Go!

Weekend Discussion Thread: Adding a MSTed Movie Character to Another MSTed Movie

Posted by Sampo, on August 10th, 2019

Alert reader “Blonde Russian Spy” asks:

What MST3K movie could be made better by inserting a character from another MST3K movie? Me, I’d put the “Giant Gila Monster” into “Monster A-Go-Go,” just so we could say that there actually WAS a monster. What do you think?

I think the fight scene between Eddie Crane and Daddy-O would be amazing.

What’s your pick?

Keep those WDT suggestions coming!
