If you enjoyed our buddy Ken Plume’s chat with Trace last week, you’ll probably also enjoy his followup with Josh “J. Elvis” Weinstein.
The staff at Shout Factory tells us they have discovered a stash of the thought-to-be-out-of-print of the “MST3K 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition” (complete with tins) and have thrown them up for sale. Get ’em while you can.
Okay, I guess I have to start by explaining who Paul & Storm are, for those who don’t know. The are a comedy music duo, who often perform with Jonathan Coulton (who some will remember sang a couple of songs at the RiffTrax Live show in October). RiffTrax fans will also recall that Jonathan and Paul and Storm did a “RiffTrax Presents” for the movie “Tron.” So anyway, it was Paul’s birthday the other day, and for his gift Storm assembled a video featuring a number of tributes to Paul. You’ll see our old pal Ken Plume in the beginning, and as you go on you’ll see a funny little segment by Bill Corbett. But finishing up the video is an uproarious number by everybody’s favorite a capella singing group, The United Servo Academy Men’s Chorus, aka Kevin Murphy. You can watch it here, and you should, even if you’ve never heard of Paul (and you should). 
DOVER, TENN. — Charles B. Pierce, an Arkansas native and independent filmmaker who made the influential 1971 film “The Legend of Boggy Creek,” died at nursing home here Friday, March 5, of undetermined causes. He was 71. MSTies know Pierce as the star, writer, director and co-producer of his 1985 followup film “The Barbaric Beast of Boggy Creek, Part II, ” which was retitled “Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues,” when it appeared in episode 1006. You can read an AP story about his death here. Thanks to Kathy for the heads up. A number of times during episode guide threads, I have mentioned what Erhardt dubbed “Sampo’s Theorem.” For anybody that missed it, it goes: “For every MSTie who thinks a given episode is the worst thing they’ve ever done, there is another who considers it their finest hour.”
Alert reader David, playing off Sampo’s Theorem, writes:
For overrated, I’m going to go with 303- POD PEOPLE. People just swoon over this episode. It puts me to sleep. (Great segments, though.) |
