Weekend Discussion Thread: The Movies as Pilots

Alert reader Zee has a good one:

Here’s my suggestion for a discussion topic: A handful of the experiments were TV show pilots. But what if… wait for it… they all were? What MST3K movie do you think would make the best TV show? What kind of show would it be? Live action or animated? What would you change about the movie to modify it for the serialized storytelling format?

I’m going to pick “The Slime People.” Every week Tom Gregory gets into a new scrape with the help of Prof. Galbraith and Tom’s girlfriend Lisa. Wacky complications ensue when Bonnie gets kidnapped every week and their wacky neighbor Norman “The Goat Man” Tolliver adds to the fun!

What’s your choice?

(Please keep those suggestions coming!)

For Our Region 2/PAL Readers: The Movie on DVD & Blu-Ray

We knew this was coming out, but since it was Region 2/PAL (in other words, not playable on most American players) we didn’t give it much thought. But we do have some readers across the pond, so, you can get it here and here.

I read a real review of it somewhere, but I can’t find it at the moment… I will update when I do.

Luke Owen of flickeringmyth.com reviews it. So does DVDActive.com.
