 Grass Valley, Calif — Clint Walker, the towering, strapping actor who handed down justice as the title character in the early TV western “Cheyenne,” died May 21 of congestive heart failure at a hospital here. He was 90.MSTies will recall that he was mentioned in several host segments (among them 213- GODZILLA VS THE SEA MONSTER and 501- WARRIOR OF THE LOST WORLD) and more times in the theater, mostly in reference to his starring role in 1974’s “Killdozer.” Thanks to Timmy for the heads up. Josh of The JM Archives has posted an in-depth interview with Jim Mallon on YouTube.
It’s a very good interview, with lots of new information. Among other things, I believe it is the first time he has addressed the death of his daughter (an open secret among many MSTies) and its effect on MST3K. One other note: I know there are some MSTies who are not fans of Jim. I am going to ask all the commenters to maintain a civil tone in the comments here. If not, we will close comments. I would also direct you to the YouTube page, where you can go nuts in the comments, as far as we are concerned. First of all, sorry I’m late. Rough week.
Back in 2012, we did a “top 10 essential episodes” — not necessarily your personal favorites, but ones every fan should see. Well, a certain alert regular who shall remain nameless :::COUGHYeti!COUGH::: thinks its timne we redo our lists, in light of season 11. So, heave to: Of the now-more-than-200 MST3K episodes, are any a MUST-see? And what ep, on your original top ten essentials, would it displace? The previous thread is here if you want to look yourself up. |
