A look behind the scenes about the picking of this movie…

Weekend Discussion Thread: Actors/Directors You Became a Fan of Via MST3K

Alert regular “Smoothie of Great Power” writes:

I was thinking about Ed Wood movies a few minutes ago and Bela Lugosi’s role in them in particular, then I realized that I wouldn’t have really become a Bela Lugosi fan if not for MST3K and Rifftrax. This, of course, brings up the question of which actors were introduced through MST3K that led people to become fans of them? In my case, along with Bela there’s no denying Beverly Garland and Reb Brown.

I’m going to expand this to include directors as well but the guy I want to mention is Bruno VeSota, who I had never heard of before I discovered MST3K and who I really think had some talent and who I love to see in anything he’s in.

Who’s your pick?

Updated: Reviews of Vol. XXIII

The DVD Verdict is they liked it. Also pleased they noted the Joey the Lemur convergence.

UPDATE: Tony Redman of Popdose.com reviews the set.

Our pal Bruce Westbrook has a review that mostly focuses on the extras, which we appreciate ’cause a lot of hard work goes into them and they often get short shrift.
