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.

Favorite Costume Worn by a Human

We did favorite costumes worn by a bot — in fact, I just realized today that we did it twice. Oy.

But alert reader David has a topic we haven’t done, vis:

How about personal costume favorites worn by Joel, Mike, Frank, Clayton, Pearl, Bobo and Brain Guy? My favs for Frank and Clay were playing Rollie Fingers and Ted McGraw.

I think I’d have to pick the Clayton and Frank “gussied up to beat the band” in episode 406- ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES.

What’s your pick?
