• Clearly the filming was done during the episode 814- RIDING WITH DEATH, and in fact it ran for the first time the week after that episode first aired and a day before the debut of the next episode 815- AGENT FOR H.A.R.M.
• Kevin’s story about the naming of the show is completely wrong in almost every respect, or at least it is almost totally at odds with the explanation Joel has given.
• Bill was going through a “complete cueball” phase.
• I think the idea of giving the cast camcorders in order to capture “behind the scenes” footage is largely a failure (with the exception, perhaps, of that nice moment when they zoom in close on Mike’s meaty face). There’s a layer of Midwestern shyness and self-consciousness that prevents them from really making it work.
• I will say that this show is very well edited, and the clips from the show are well chosen.
• Apparently the show has won “numerous awards.” Really?
• Among those interviewed is then-BBI staffer Jill Roozenboom, who I don’t think lasted until the end of season 8.
• Interestingly, there is no credit for the narrator. Anybody know who it is?
Our pals at the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville, Pa., is once again showing an MST3K episode Friday, May 16, at 9:45 p.m.: 1006- BOGGY CREEK II: …AND THE LEGEND CONTINUES.
This time the RiffTrax guys want to riff the extremely deserving “Godzilla” (the one with Matthew Broderick) and again they are asking for help from the fans. (It doesn’t look like they’re even going to have to break a sweat: as of Tuesday morning they were already three-quarters the way to their $100,000 goal.)
Duarte, CALIF.–Actress, director and Emmy-winning producer Nancy Malone, who co-founded Women in Film and was a trailblazing female executive at 20th Century Fox in the 1970s, died in a hospital here May 8 of pneumonia that arose from complications attributed to a recent battle with leukemia. She was 79. MSTies will remember her as Tina Scott in the movie in episode 614- SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL.
