In discussing this week’s episode, The Beatniks, many have referenced Peter Breck’s exciting portrayal of Moon. In stark contrast to the dull, lifeless work of much of the rest of the cast, Breck virtually explodes in fits of acute over-acting (sometimes referred to as Shatnering). As MST3k fans, we have all been exposed to some truly classic moments of extreme scene-chewing. My personal favorite example would be the death of Kurt, the gnarly-handed assistant from the Brain that Wouldn’t Die. You?
Well, I have to go with John “Mikey” Humphries in “Teenage Strangler.”
I can’t let this week’s episode guide entry go by without taking our own turn at the little game Joel and the bots play during one of the segments. For the record, as Joel said, we’re not actually pushing them off the lighthouse. “We’re just going to put the fear o’ God into ’em.” Let’s just assume the fall isn’t going to kill them, just scare ’em a bit. (Wink.)
My pick, without any hesitation, is Chris Brown, especially if he could land on a fist-shaped rock.
Mary Jo Pehl’s play “Man Saved By Condiments!” will begin a six-show run in New York City next week, as part of the NY Frigid Festival. Shows will be at the at the Red Room Theater, 85 East 4th St., in Manhattan. More info on the play is here.
