Weekend Discussion Thread: Update Those Celebrity Lookalikes

Alert reader Jonathan writes:

As we know, MST3k will always be encapsulated in a certain moment in time, mainly due to all the pop culture references. One of the most frequent manifestations of this are the in-movie riffing of celebrity/public figure look-a-likes.

Now, whenever I see “Teen-Age Strangler” I can’t help but think that in a different time, the “Yipes Stripes” singer would have been riffed as some sort of Amy Winehouse look-a-like. (RIP)

Being 15 years from the final episode, are there any actors in MST3k treated movies you think look like more recent celebrities/public figures? Or we can expand it, asking: is there any you feel that they completely missed at the time? Or were completely off the mark? Which ones were totally dead on?

Have at it!

Trace Asks the Questions

The Nerdist web site interviewed “Fear Agent” co-creators Rick Remender and Tony Moore. The introduction also says that Trace is part of the discussion. Turns out he’s the one asking the (very astute) questions even though it says “Nerdist:” in front of each of the questions.
For those who don’t know, “Fear Agent” is a comic book series for Dark Horse.

Now on VOD from RiffTrax…

For those of us (like me) who don’t have the National Geographic Channel.
