‘Manos, the Hands of Felt’ in Seattle (featuring special guests)

“Manos, The Hands of Felt,” “a giddy puppet musical re-imagining of the cult classic” will be performed Fridays and Saturdays, Aug. 9-10 and 16-17 at 8 p.m. at the Richard Hugo House, 1634 11th Ave. in Seattle. Following the Saturday, Aug. 10, performance there will be a question-and-answer session with Jackey Raye Neyman Jones (little “Debbie” from the movie) and Bryan Jennings (the son of the actor who played the sheriff). Get tickets and more info here.

I like this part:
“Despite the presence of puppets, the show is not recommended for patrons under the age of 14. (adult language, bizarre sexual situations)” Whoa.

Joel Interviewed on a Podcast

Jason Mallory of Scene Missing Magazine does a phoner with Joel ahead of his appearances in Atlanta next weekend with riffing group Cineprov (who are also interviewed in this podcast). The interview starts a little past the 9:00 mark, picks up again around the 27:30 mark and once more about the 46:00 minute mark, and don’t miss the little stinger at the end.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Favorite “Star Trek” References

Alert reader Kenneth suggests:

I noticed that two weeks ago when you did the “Favorite Star Wars References” weekend discussion, it didn’t get that many comments. I read one of the comments from a “ck” that read: “I’d think there were more Star Trek then Star Wars references. Including the disturbing Mike impression of Janeway. (That one hurt a whole lot).”
And I got to thinking, there ARE a lot of Trek references in the show. I think it would make a pretty good weekend discussion topic.

Why not?

I think my fave is Crow’s: “Room-to-room transport! [As Spock.] Very difficult, captain!”

What’s yours?

Interviews with Joel and Trace

Doug Wortel of speakercreatures.com interviews Joel. He mostly covers topics that have been addressed before, but it’s a nice read anyway.

Frank Thompson of TheCommentaryTrack.com has Trace as his guest on his podcast. They talk movies, a little MST3K, his post-MST3K career, Cinematic Titanic and more.
