Posted by Sampo, on June 1st, 2013 Okay this one’s a little out there, but I think you’re up to the challenge from Andrew, who opines:
I was watching “Is This Love?” the other night and had a thought. If you got Peg from this short, Judy from “Young Man’s Fancy”, and Sue from “Are You Ready for Marriage” together, I bet they’d have a lot to talk about. You’d have someone who married too soon, someone who is engaged, and someone who has just fallen for her brother’s friend. That’s a chick flick if there ever was one. But why stop there? Wouldn’t Ator’s level-headedness be the perfect compliment for Steve Reeve’s Hercules’ arrogance and wouldn’t a TON of villages be saved by those two together? Finally, what about Peter Graves from “Beginning of the End” teaming up with the female cop from “Swamp Diamonds” as a kind of Mulder and Scully “X-files” thing? Endless possibilities!
How about new version of Charlie’s Angels with the bubble-headed Tina from “Catalina Caper,” boy-crazy Judy from “A Young Man’s Fancy” and sensible but mousey Iris from “The Beatniks”?
Well, maybe not. You have a go at it!

Posted by Sampo, on May 27th, 2013 Many fans of MST3K are also fans of the comedy series “Arrested Development.” The creators of the show seem to know that.
The show was recently revived and episodes are now viewable on NetFlix. The episodes started streaming this weekend and almost immediately Twitter was ablaze about episode four five.
As we understand it (we don’t have NetFlix) the story revolves around a low-budget “Fantastic Four” movie, and the show demonstrates how bad it was by showing a snippet of a supposed episode of MST3K in which they Joel and the bots are riffing it. Joel and Trace made voice cameos, making three four riffs. There is reportedly another brief appearance in episode nine.
Thanks to Andy for the info.
Posted by Sampo, on May 25th, 2013 In the episode guide we have come to the end of season seven, and that means the departure of one Trace Beaulieu. I have said in the past that Trace was the heart of MST3K (Mike was the brain, Kevin the soul). I said in that post: “It really is hard to imagine that the show could have become the classic it was without him, and while it did manage to find its footing again after his departure, his absence was keenly felt for a long time.”
So this week’s thread is a tribute to Mr. Trace Beaulieu. We did a “favorite Trace moments” thread WAY WAY back, but this is about more than just his huge contribution to our favorite cowtown puppet show. If you have a story about a real-life interaction with Trace, we’d love to hear it too.
One great moment I remember was at the second convention, where, in the middle of the panel with Kim Catrall, he slipped in by a side door, snuck up to in front of where she was sitting, threw a bouquet of flowers onto the table in front of her and dashed out. Great stuff.
(Keep those discussion thread ideas coming!)
Posted by Sampo, on May 24th, 2013 Reader’s Digest version: The “Twilight” people were nice, but ultimately decided against the idea, for understandable reasons.
So, instead:STARSHIP TROOPERS!
