(Len already did a card for RiffTrax.)

Our buddy Len Peralta at Jawbone Radio is currently working on an art project called “Geek A Week” in which every week he turns an influential “geek” into a trading card. This week, it’s Cinematic Titanic. Click on the thumbnails below to be taken to Len’s web pages for them.
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune listed MST3K’s first KTMA episode as number 14 in a listing of Minnesota’s Top 50 cultural moments.
Regular poster “Fart Bargo” suggested this one, but didn’t elaborate. Since we did “Gamera” in the episode guide this week (featuring uber-pesky Kenny), it seemed an appropriate topic.
I’m going to spotlight “Child” (played by Todd Bass, in his very last acting role, according to the IMDB) in the movie in episode 512- MITCHELL. The scene in which he drives an already-irritated Mitchell to near insanity — and causes Joel to bury his head in his hands as he watches — is one of the most memorable of the series. Which kid would you pick? Our pals at TVShowsonDVD.com have more info on the next set.
As you know, The episodes that will be included will be: The planned street date for the special edition is Nov. 9. And check out this awesomeness: That’s the Gypsy figurine that will be included in the special edition version, along side the Servo and Crow figurines, so you can see that they are proportional “as mandated by Jim and Joel,” according to our pal Brian Ward, the set’s producer (whose desktop that apparently is). The suggested retail price of the special edition is $69.97 but Amazon is currently pricing it at $48.99. Finally, Amazon has put up a preorder page. If you would like to preorder, we would appreciate it if you would use THIS LINK.  Here’s a sample: In other RiffTrax news: Bob Kostanczuk of the Post Tribune in Gary Indiana had done a short writeup of the upcoming live show. Also, someone named Chad Dukes interviews Mike for a podcast that you can listen to here. Neither of these break any new ground, but, hey, it’s a media mention. |
