Magic Voice Gets a Mention

We haven’t see this too often. A piece by Molly Fitzpatrick at Vocative.com, pegged to the passing of Carol Ann Susi, who provided the voice for the unseen Mrs. Wolowitz on “The Big Bang Theory,” lists beloved TV characters that were heard and not seen, and, wow, Magic Voice makes the cut! (As the commenters in the story point out, how Molly could have left out Carlton the door man, we’ll never know.)

This is the first time (that I can remember) Magic Voice was ever the focus of a media mention. By the way, the story credits Mary Jo but, for the record, Jann Johnson and Alex Carr did it before her, and Beez McKeever did it after her.

Thanks to Paul for the heads up.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Which Dinner/Party/Gathering in a MSTed Movie Would You Like to Be Invited to?

Holiday gatherings are happening and alert regular Sue suggests:

We’ve had “which party in a MST’ed movie would you most like to be invited to” and “Which MST characters would you invite for Thanksgiving,” but how about “Which dinner or meal in a MSTed movie or short would you most like to be invited to?”
The food in “Young Man’s Fancy” sounded pretty good — ham steak (although it looked like some other kind of meat altogether), potatoes, buttered beans, and cherry pie with whipped cream. The big downside would be listening to Alexander Phipps go on and on about electricity and Judy being squishy.

Your pick can be any kind of gathering, but I’m going to go with the snarky dinner in “It Conquered the World.” I’d just have to have some 3×5 cards with rude observations on them.

What’s your pick?

Vol. XXXI Reviews

The set comes out next week and the reviews are starting. Here’s one from our pal Bruce Westbrook.

Joe Corey at InsidePulse.com has a review. He mentions that the ’93 and ’94 Turkey Day bumpers were not included on the set, and kindly includes them at the end of his piece. Yes, that’s me and Erhardt in the ’93 bumpers. I was dressed as Washington Post TV critic and (then-)MSTie Tom Shales. Kind of an inside joke. Erhardt was dressed as Bavaro from “Crash of the Moons.” That was the first time we’d ever actually met. I’ve fallen out of touch with nearly all the people in those bumpers, and we’re all 20 years older (and a few are no longer with us). I hope everybody is well, and I do hope Debbie Tobin has forgiven us.

DVD Corner has a review.

Alex Biese, app.com’s resident MSTie, has a review.

John Sinnott at DVD Talk has a review.
