Deadline Approaching for Scholarly Papers

You may recall that a while back we posted an item about a guy at Texas Tech who is assembling a book of scholarly papers about MST3K. He’s pushed his deadlines a little but they are now approaching and he’s asked that we post another note.

Here’s a full description of what he’s looking for.

As we noted previously, Satellite News is not involved in the project.

How Were the Shows?

An open thread for reports from the Cinematic Titanic shows in Detroit on Friday night, and in Milwaukee on Saturday night.

Update: The UWM Post reviews the Milwaukee show.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Episodes That Grew on You

Alert reader James writes:

Here’s a good topic for weekend discussion: “episodes I hated or just disliked at first, but now love.”

Ooh, good one! Me, I would pick episode 615- KITTEN WITH A WHIP. Something about the movie turned me off the first couple of times I saw it, but when I watched it more recently for the episode guide, it just cracked me up and the movie didn’t bug me at all.

And, you know, I guess since we’re doing this, we should also probably allow comments on the reverse: episodes you initially liked but later soured on.

Which one(s) would you pick?
