Podcast Interview with Mary Jo

Posted by Sampo, on May 27th, 2010

The owner of the blog Atchka, which focuses on the issue of “fat acceptance,” interviews Mary Jo Pehl. They discuss MST3K and Cinematic Titanic, and in the second portion of the podcast they have a very frank discussion of the blog’s main topic, touching on Mary Jo’s own struggles with her weight, fat jokes on MST3K, fat comedians and more.
Parental note- Mary Jo drops an “f-bomb” or two during the course of the discussion.

Weekend Discussion Thread: MSTed Movies That Would Have Worked Better on ‘LOST’

Posted by Sampo, on May 22nd, 2010

Alert reader Frederick, brilliantly timing his suggestion to take advantage of this weekend’s TV mega-event (and, no, I don’t mean the season finale of “The New Adventures of Old Christine”), writes:

Topic suggestion: MST3K movies that would have provided a better story than the plot used by LOST, if filmed with the LOST budget and aired on ABC over six years.

I’m not a hater or a diehard fan of LOST, but something in between. I liked the first season but stopped watching it because of all the interminable flashbacks. This idea came to me after watching “Final Sacrifice” for the first time two weeks ago, and realizing the story was about equal to the plot of LOST, give or take one shirtless model-turned-actor (Sawyer). But with a somewhat lower budget…heh heh. As I told my wife, who is watching LOST to the end, “It’s just a Mystery Science movie, stretched out over six years!”

Well, naturally, the obvious choice is episode 1011- HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND, which I think IS the same story (which I guess would make Babs Jacob). But I’m going to go with episode 320- THE UNEARTHLY. Who knows? Maybe somebody at the Dharma Initiative was inserting glands in polar bears!

Have at it!
