The big day is here, so let’s share our MST3K Christmas traditions, and, remember, as Crow noted, there’s no tradition like a new tradition!
At my house the season always begins on Thanksgiving Day with “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians,” though lately I have been choosing the Cinematic Titanic version. I save “Santa Claus” for Christmas day. Between the two I always find time for the RiffTrax of the “Star Wars Christmas Special” (if Lucas finally breaks down and releases that, I guess they’ll have to re-edit their riff to remove the riffs on commercials). What’s your tradition?  TOLUCA LAKE, CALIF.–Robert Easton, a character actor whose command of foreign and American regional accents led to a flourishing second career as a dialect coach to Hollywood stars died of natural causes Friday, Dec. 16, at his home here. He was 81.MSTies will remember him as Dan Kester in the movie in episode 810- THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION and as Mr. Keitel in episode 908- THE TOUCH OF SATAN, but he also did the voices of Phones and X20 in the movie in episode K01- INVADERS FROM THE DEEP, of which no fan copy exists. His L.A. Times obit is here. 
Jonathan Dube of theartofthetitle.com has an interesting interview with Joel about the titles of the show.
Well the holidays are coming up next week and that means lots of parties. Alert reader “mhallack” asks:
I’m going to expand it a bit and ask: What party in a MSTed movie, with dancing or not, do you wish you’d been invited to? I’m gonna go with that swingin’ boat party in “Catalina Caper.” Maybe I could get Little Richard’s autograph before he’s hustled out the back door. What’s your pick? |
