How about a topic on things that remind you of MST3K. i live near a busy airport in the dc area and i see planes take off ever so often. i always say once a day, “john sununu goes for a haircut” when i see a plane takeoff. also some news things i see i say mst3k lines. there was a story about a man getting bit by a snake, i said, “watch out for snakes”.
When I see a plane taking off, I tend to hum the Starfighters music: o/` “Laaa, da-da-daaaa…” o/`
What examples can you think of from your life?
Posted by Sampo, on May 9th, 2013 Several people alerted us to the story by The AV Club, which notes that AIP is at it again: Remaking some of their old movies, including some that were riffed by our beloved cowtown puppet show.
Also, CNN Entertainment uses the upcoming “Friday Night Lights” feature film as the peg to do an item about TV shows that have become movies, and mentions, well, guess who? (Thanks to our pal Tom for the heads up.)

Posted by Sampo, on May 7th, 2013  LONDON — Special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen died here May 7. He was 92.
Harryhausen never worked on an MSTed movie, but he was mentioned in passing in a host segment in episode 113- THE BLACK SCORPION.
Here’s his New York Times obit.
Posted by Sampo, on May 4th, 2013 So you’re watching an episode and most of the performances are terrible or at the very least flat and bland. But then one performer comes on the screen with actual screen presence, with actual ability, and suddenly the movie is briefly watchable.
You’ve probably had that experience. Tell us about it.
Here’s mine: It’s the rather brief appearance of veteran actor Les Tremayne as Norman “the crazy goat man” Tolliver in “The Slime People.” He arrives and the screen lights up, he departs and it’s just a foggy mess again.
And if you can think of a thread topic, be sure to send it in!
