Entertainment Weekly seems to crank out these clickbait lists a few times a year, but, hey, it’s great to see they know that MSTies are still out there.
For folks in Northeastern Pennsylvania, the Scranton Cultural Center will again present Bad Movie Thursdays with MST3K – hosted by yours truly — Thursday at 7 p.m. (Cocktails at 6.) The episode this month is 507- I ACCUSE MY PARENTS (with short: “The Truck Farmer). More info here. If you live in the area, join us, won’t we? There’s a site called Interviewly.com, where they do something very valuable: They take Reddit AMA sessions and turn them into straightforward question-and-answer interviews that are a bit easier to follow (at least for an old fogey like me).
Two things happened recently that got me thinking.
First, I got sent a preview copy of the next Shout!Factory set recently and one of the most interesting extras on it was the interview with Walter George Alton, who played The Pumuman. And I was a little taken aback about his opinion of the MST3K riffing. He said “some of it was a little bit offensive,” or words to that effect. He really did not appreciate it. The last time this happened was with the late Peter Graves, who expressed a very similar opinion of MST3K riffing. Second, it was Lisa Loeb’s birthday the other day, and I noted the day on Twitter (using her twitter handle, so she would see it) and I included a link to a YouTube video of the host segment in which Bridget, as Lisa, visits the SOL. A while later I got a tweet back from Lisa! She tweeted “I LOVE THIS!!!” So, there you have it, two MST3K targets, two very different responses. And it got me thinking. I bet it would be interesting to find out what more movie cast members think of the MST3K version. So here’s your topic: What other MST3K targets would you like to hear from and why? I’ll compile a list and see who I get in touch with. The whole thing may collapse and fail, but it will be interesting to try. If you have any contact info or suggestions, that would help! Have at it! (Keep those WDT suggestions coming!) 
This time it’s personal. Again. See a sample or download it here. |
