Weekend Discussion Thread: MST3K Baseball Promotions

Posted by Sampo, on August 24th, 2013

Alert reader Brandon writes:

In “The Girl in Lovers’ Lane,” Dr. F envisions Evil Event Days at baseball games, where the team gives away harmful and/or humiliating products to spectators.

Let’s imagine some baseball team, somewhere, major or minor-league, decides to have a MSTie Night. What would you like to receive as a giveaway? A Joel Robinson bobblehead? Crow’s wire mother to the first 1,500 kids 12 and under? A cap with the Deep 13 logo?

Anyways, as we enter the home stretch of the regular season, I thought that might be a topical conversation-starter.

I would say promotions based on the MSTed movies are also in bounds, such as maybe a guest appearance of the pickle monster from “It Conquered the World,” who would do battle against the regular mascot.

What would bring YOU to the ballpark? (Let’s assume this is a minor league team, where almost anything goes.)

Frank’s New Job

Posted by , on August 23rd, 2013

Frank’s job at John Fugelsang’s show went away when Current TV was replaced by Al-Jazeera America. He has landed at “Totally Biased with Kamau Bell” which will debut on the new FXX network Sept. 4.

Obviously, a show called “Totally Biased” is a bit politically charged, so comments have been closed for this entry. Feel free to post on the show’s Facebook page or follow it on Twitter.

Odds and Ends

Posted by Sampo, on August 21st, 2013

Three notable bits of news today:

Ian Montgomery at Thepunkeffect.com has a nice piece on the recent RiffTrax Live show.

Sherilyn Connelly has a piece in The Village Voice that essentially summarizes what you’ll hear when you watch the documentary about the making of “MST3K: The Movie” that’s on the new Blu-ray/DVD from Shout!, and offers some comments and personal reflections.

A number of episodes have returned to Netflix Instant. Enjoy.
