the comedy channel at the top once
[TS]
00:02:43
◼
►
children there were two

00:02:44
◼

maple channels devoted strictly to
[TS]
00:02:46
◼
►
accommodate that was hot huh man comes
[TS]
00:02:49
◼

[TS]
00:03:11
◼
►
recollections because it i agree that to
[TS]
00:03:14
◼
►
me the reason that i adore mst3k so much
[TS]
00:03:17
◼
►
is because it hit at I think the perfect
[TS]
00:03:20
◼
►
time in my life which is obviously you
[TS]
00:03:22
◼
►
know in the middle of college when there
[TS]
00:03:24
◼
►
was a good chance that i would be a up
[TS]
00:03:27
◼
►
and in some altered state of
[TS]
00:03:29
◼
►
consciousness at midnight and protect
[TS]
00:03:30
◼
►
which was the greatest thing ever by the
[TS]
00:03:33
◼
►
way the fact that they put reruns of the
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
show on every night at midnight and it
[TS]
00:03:38
◼
►
ran that way for several years i think
[TS]
00:03:39
◼
►
they ran through most of the third
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
fourth fifth season that way and it was
[TS]
00:03:44
◼
►
just this nice dependable soothing thing
[TS]
00:03:47
◼
►
that was always on every night you could
[TS]
00:03:48
◼
►
do you could expect it to be there
[TS]
00:03:50
◼
►
whether you've been studying for finals
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
or doing something else and it's just it
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
its it hits that sweet spot when you're
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
in college of its it's nice and
[TS]
00:04:01
◼
►
irreverent you know it doesn't doesn't
[TS]
00:04:04
◼
►
seem to care much for the the old
[TS]
00:04:08
◼
►
Hollywood kind of whether this someone
[TS]
00:04:11
◼
►
called sacred nature of some of these
[TS]
00:04:14
◼
►
older films holder sci-fi films
[TS]
00:04:17
◼
►
it's just a lot of fun when I when I
[TS]
00:04:20
◼
►
first heard about the show and and
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
someone was describing it to me I I
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
thought it was it at a stupid idea
[TS]
00:04:28
◼
►
because i know i know there is this is
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
this is another example and they don't
[TS]
00:04:35
◼
►
listen to fill about anything file
[TS]
00:04:38
◼
►
Phil is not your your browsing rod for
[TS]
00:04:41
◼
►
for good ideas because it they mentioned
[TS]
00:04:44
◼
►
it well there's this they play this
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
movie and the this guy and his robot
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
puppets talk over it and I said but how
[TS]
00:04:52
◼
►
can you hear the movie
[TS]
00:04:56
◼
►
and then and then I actually you know
[TS]
00:04:58
◼
►
saw an episode of the scales fell from
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
my eyes like a robot puppet version of
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
Saul on the road and uh yeah it's it
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
like steve says it really in a way I we
[TS]
00:05:16
◼
►
should have all realized what a great
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
idea is because they they are doing the
[TS]
00:05:19
◼
►
things that everyone does when they
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
watch a terrible movie by themselves
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
I which is make fun of it and and and
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
say things out loud and try and crack up
[TS]
00:05:29
◼
►
your friends and they just happened to
[TS]
00:05:30
◼
►
be really funny
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
uh-uh people with with puppets should
[TS]
00:05:35
◼
►
say that I was a little reticent to
[TS]
00:05:36
◼
►
check it out at first partially because
[TS]
00:05:38
◼
►
i heard about the robot puppets which
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
didn't really sound like my bag at the
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
time no probably not but also because I
[TS]
00:05:44
◼
►
remember something turning up on
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
late-night TV several years previous
[TS]
00:05:49
◼
►
which was I guess a comedy group called
[TS]
00:05:51
◼
►
i want to say la conexión oh yeah you

00:05:54
◼
►
mad movies with the la conexión right

Sundays yes
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►

[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
that and think i would spend some pretty
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
funny stuff and these guys are just
[TS]
00:06:04
◼
►
ripping them off which you know to some
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
extent maybe they were I don't know it's
[TS]
00:06:08
◼
►
not it's not such a genius idea that not
[TS]
00:06:10
◼
►
one person are multiple people couldn't
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
possibly have come up with it at the
[TS]
00:06:13
◼
►
same time but it did get kind of keep me
[TS]
00:06:16
◼
►
away initially and i think it was i
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
believe it was Monty originally that
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
told me about the show and I don't think
[TS]
00:06:22
◼
►
i ever checked it out for maybe a year
[TS]
00:06:24
◼
►
or two after he had mentioned how much
[TS]
00:06:26
◼
►
credibility Monty had with ya now Monty
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
Monty almost like strap me down in one
[TS]
00:06:34
◼
►
of those clockwork orange chairs to walk
[TS]
00:06:37
◼
►
it but that's that's really that's
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
really shared experience isn't it
[TS]
00:06:41
◼
►
because we are also remember that back
[TS]
00:06:43
◼
►
then that was before everybody had cable
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
TV if you had cable maybe your system
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►

bot bashes wear it in New England there
[TS]
00:07:08
◼

is every few months there would be
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►
some sort of collection that would go
[TS]
00:07:11
◼
►
around say we can read the VFW hall for
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
this amount of money we know someone who
[TS]
00:07:14
◼

has a projector and we can basically
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
have a viewing party with about two
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
three four five dozen people and just on
[TS]
00:07:21
◼
►
the basis that you've heard that this is
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
it on some usenet newsgroup that this is
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
a really good show that you really need
[TS]
00:07:26
◼
►
to see it and that you might have heard
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
of maybe somebody who is in another
[TS]
00:07:29
◼
►
computer club that you're in was also
[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
going to wind up spending three or four
[TS]
00:07:33
◼
►
hours in this VFW hall somewhere in
[TS]
00:07:36
◼
►
suburban Boston it up and read laughing
[TS]
00:07:40
◼
►
your butt off not only because of what
[TS]
00:07:42
◼
►
what's there because you are with a
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
group of 40 to 50 to 60 people who also
[TS]
00:07:46
◼
►
are primed for this sort of for the sort
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
of show and we're getting at least forty
[TS]
00:07:51
◼
►
percent of the same references and
[TS]
00:07:53
◼
►
that's one of the things that really
[TS]
00:07:54
◼
►
hooked me on it i think i got was
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
introduced to it in the best way
[TS]
00:07:57
◼
►
possible to i think was problem it might
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
have actually been my first introduction
[TS]
00:08:02
◼
►
to what you might call organized science
[TS]
00:08:04
◼
►
fiction fandom envious and in fact the
[TS]
00:08:07
◼
►
the cable channel that my parents cable
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
system when I went home that summer to
[TS]
00:08:13
◼
►
watch mst3k on the newly-formed comedy
[TS]
00:08:17
◼
►
central comedy central only ran from 6pm
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
to 6am and the resume I was CNBC yes
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
that's great
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
wow there's a dichotomy when I
[TS]
00:08:26
◼
►
discovered it was just after the merger
[TS]
00:08:28
◼
►
and our system did not have comedy
[TS]
00:08:32
◼
►
central
[TS]
00:08:33
◼
►
and so what they were doing like for the
[TS]
00:08:36
◼
►
whole summer they would do a sample of
[TS]
00:08:38
◼
►
different channels 1 a weekend for like
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
ten weeks and then you got to choose
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
which channels you wanted so one weekend
[TS]
00:08:47
◼
►
is Comedy Central and i had heard about
[TS]
00:08:49
◼
►
the show at some point because I
[TS]
00:08:51
◼
►
recognize go guy with puppets and movie
[TS]
00:08:54
◼
►
and so I just I they happen to run I
[TS]
00:08:58
◼
►
think it was cave-dwellers on the
[TS]
00:09:01
◼
►
saturday afternoon the weekend and i
[TS]
00:09:03
◼
►
forgot to set this out and I i mean i
[TS]
00:09:07
◼
►
think it was maybe 10 minutes and I just
[TS]
00:09:09
◼
►
I'm not going anywhere for two and the
[TS]
00:09:13
◼
►
movie is pronounced copy dwellers and
[TS]
00:09:18
◼
►
and so yeah about a month later boom we
[TS]
00:09:20
◼
►
had comedy central
[TS]
00:09:22
◼
►
the first one that was on it that
[TS]
00:09:25
◼
►
started on a monday so the first thing I
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
saw was time of the Apes at midnight
[TS]
00:09:29
◼
►
that night huh
[TS]
00:09:30
◼
►
another good one that's not fair that
[TS]
00:09:32
◼
►
point on you know and and its stations
[TS]
00:09:35
◼
►
we eat there is something about this is
[TS]
00:09:39
◼
►
not feeling sorry i don't care
[TS]
00:09:40
◼
►
yeah that's what I got it really good
[TS]
00:09:43
◼
►
magic thing I had to get the second one
[TS]
00:09:45
◼
►
for I don't care
[TS]
00:09:46
◼
►
the trampy no i don't care and education
[TS]
00:09:51
◼
►
will do magic things i don't care i was
[TS]
00:09:55
◼
►
already writing comedy at that point and
[TS]
00:09:58
◼
►
they just did something to my brainwaves
[TS]
00:10:01
◼
►
like I discovered this whole second gear
[TS]
00:10:03
◼
►
that you could go into and you know you
[TS]
00:10:05
◼
►
could wrap references inside references
[TS]
00:10:07
◼
►
inside references and between them and
[TS]
00:10:09
◼
►
pdq bach yeah
[TS]
00:10:11
◼
►
in retrospect it's kind of unbelievable
[TS]
00:10:12
◼
►
that I didn't catch on to it sooner than
[TS]
00:10:14
◼
►
i did and i guess i have to blame the
[TS]
00:10:16
◼
►
fact that we didn't have easy access to
[TS]
00:10:18
◼
►
cable for a long time because confession
[TS]
00:10:21
◼
►
time I probably went to Rocky Horror
[TS]
00:10:23
◼
►
Picture Show 30 times in high school
[TS]
00:10:26
◼
►
over the course of my high school career

[TS]
00:17:18
◼

there was a way of watching television

and having phone calls so that nobody
[TS]
00:17:22
◼

knew what your interests were except for
[TS]
00:17:24
◼
►
yourself
[TS]
00:17:25
◼
►

[TS]
00:17:26
◼
►
i think the premises kind of residential
[TS]
00:17:28
◼
►
Hodgson i actually remember Joel Hodgson
[TS]
00:17:30
◼
►
from his spots on Saturday Night Live
[TS]
00:17:32
◼
►
did a lot of Letterman appearances yeah

00:17:35
◼

exactly doing and he's a project
[TS]
00:17:37
◼
►
comedian he's aight well yeah I mean I
[TS]
00:17:38
◼
►
would say he's a he's the he's the
[TS]
00:17:42
◼
►
flipside of Gallagher for the carrot top
[TS]
00:17:46
◼
►
that you don't want to murder and leave
[TS]
00:17:48
◼
►
in a ditch you know there's a carrot-top
[TS]
00:17:49
◼
►
joke and I accuse my parents which made
[TS]
00:17:51
◼
►
me laugh extra hard because I know that
[TS]
00:17:53
◼
►
there must be a connection between him
[TS]
00:17:55
◼
►
and joel hodgson actually true story
[TS]
00:17:58
◼
►
during an appearance that he shared with
[TS]
00:17:59
◼
►
Gallagher he came offstage to find
[TS]
00:18:01
◼
►
Gallagher rummaging through his props
[TS]
00:18:03
◼
►
and he never never liked him out I'm
[TS]
00:18:05
◼
►
that point on how am I not surprised
[TS]
00:18:07
◼
►
I've heard that story he's also buddies
[TS]
00:18:09
◼
►
with the e came up at the same time as
[TS]
00:18:11
◼
►
jerry seinfeld because if you there's a
[TS]
00:18:13
◼
►
really early Jerry Seinfeld concert
[TS]
00:18:15
◼
►
video and it has some interstitials and
[TS]
00:18:18
◼
►
joel hodgson is in it as like the the
[TS]
00:18:20
◼
►
gatekeeper for the emerald city of oz
[TS]
00:18:23
◼
►
that Jerry Seinfeld's visit its it was a
[TS]
00:18:26
◼
►
heated comedians in cars getting coffee
[TS]
00:18:28
◼
►
with him too
[TS]
00:18:29
◼
►
yeah so I remember uh his agent j bit
[TS]
00:18:33
◼
►
where he converts converts the boombox
[TS]
00:18:36
◼
►
into various things but that was his
[TS]
00:18:38
◼
►
building gadgets was this thing so so
[TS]
00:18:40
◼
►
the story goes as far as i know and i
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
only know I've only read some things
[TS]
00:18:45
◼
►
there's probably somebody Monty's
[TS]
00:18:46
◼
►
probably read it all and he's not even
[TS]
00:18:47
◼
►
on this episode because I know if you
[TS]
00:18:49
◼
►
think he didn't wanna be so i assume
[TS]
00:18:52
◼
►
that that as this all coalesced in
[TS]
00:18:54
◼
►
Minnesota that you know obviously one of
[TS]
00:18:57
◼
►
the premises in the show with the
[TS]
00:18:59
◼
►
invention exchange in the fact that
[TS]
00:19:01
◼
►
there are these robots and they're all
[TS]
00:19:02
◼
►
this other stuff is taking advantage of
[TS]
00:19:04
◼
►
the fact that joel hodgson was drawn to
[TS]
00:19:06
◼
►
gadgets and making weird contractions
[TS]
00:19:10
◼
►
and that because that that is at the
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
core of everything outside of the movie
[TS]
00:19:15
◼
►
scenes of mst3k is this especially the
[TS]
00:19:19
◼
►
module Hodgson years there's there's a
[TS]
00:19:22
◼
►
you know quacky bits but there's a lot
[TS]
00:19:23
◼
►
of prop comedy it's a it's like props
[TS]
00:19:25
◼
►
are part of the DNA of the show
[TS]
00:19:28
◼
►
well that's that's why you get the
[TS]
00:19:29
◼
►
invention exchange and then very shortly
[TS]
00:19:31
◼
►
after he left show they take put the
[TS]
00:19:34
◼
►
kibosh on yes deep 62 doesn't work

00:19:51

fanclub you remember they had those
[TS]
00:19:52
◼
►
tapes of behind-the-scenes of them
[TS]
00:19:54
◼
►
actually building all these sets and so
[TS]
00:19:56
◼
►
you see you all these galleys people who
[TS]
00:19:58
◼
►
are in front of the camera behind the
[TS]
00:20:00
◼
►
camera actually just assembling sets and
[TS]
00:20:03
◼
►
detailed and gluing all these toys
[TS]
00:20:05
◼
►
before spray painting them like matte
[TS]
00:20:07
◼
►
matte grey and that's I think that's
[TS]
00:20:10
◼
►
something that you can appreciate about
[TS]
00:20:11
◼
►
it it the whole thing does have this
[TS]
00:20:13
◼
►
handmade feel about it where you feel as
[TS]
00:20:16
◼
►
though the catering budget for this show
[TS]
00:20:17
◼
►
was negligible at present because every
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
free time
[TS]
00:20:21
◼
►
I'm every extra dime that they had
[TS]
00:20:22
◼
►
available was a way to figure out how to
[TS]
00:20:24
◼
►
make this show
[TS]
00:20:25
◼
►
look ten times better than they better
[TS]
00:20:29
◼
►
than their budget and their resources
[TS]
00:20:30
◼
►
could afford and I was I've been working
[TS]
00:20:32
◼
►
that even before i die i knew that the
[TS]
00:20:35
◼
►
shows coming up I was I've now if I've
[TS]
00:20:38
◼
►
got a good like long
[TS]
00:20:39
◼
►
youtube playlist of MST 3000 episodes
[TS]
00:20:42
◼
►
i've been watching a lot of them over
[TS]
00:20:43
◼
►
the past like two or three months and
[TS]
00:20:45
◼
►
i'm amazed at how good those sets are
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
and how good those props are and how
[TS]
00:20:51
◼
►
nicely it slit and how nicely it shot
[TS]
00:20:53
◼
►
there's almost no complaints to be made
[TS]
00:20:55
◼
►
about how this show was put together and
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
then again when you look at these
[TS]
00:20:59
◼
►
behind-the-scenes stuff when you realize
[TS]
00:21:01
◼
►
that this was just a group of people
[TS]
00:21:02
◼
►
that decided they're going to improv a
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
set together it just seems miraculous
[TS]
00:21:07
◼
►
story basically goes that Hodgson soured
[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
very very early on with being out in LA
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
and trying to break into comedy out
[TS]
00:21:15
◼
►
there and he was actually doing very
[TS]
00:21:16
◼
►
well that he was I think they tried to
[TS]
00:21:19
◼
►
put him into a series that he thought
[TS]
00:21:23
◼
►
was not funny i think he was it was
[TS]
00:21:26
◼
►
offered the usual series of like
[TS]
00:21:27
◼
►
next-door neighbor roles and he thought
[TS]
00:21:28
◼
►
that this is not where I want to be in
[TS]
00:21:30
◼
►
my bike my creative life he was offered
[TS]
00:21:32
◼
►
a pretty pretty decent part in something
[TS]
00:21:34
◼
►
that was thing i think it was like a
[TS]
00:21:36
◼
►
fast times rip off fast times at
[TS]
00:21:37
◼
►
ridgemont high rip off and he turned him
[TS]
00:21:40
◼
►
down and said it wasn't funny and rather
[TS]
00:21:41
◼
►
than come back to them and say well
[TS]
00:21:43
◼
►
let's say we can fix this they came back
[TS]
00:21:44
◼
►
and said will give you more money you
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
and that apparently offended his
[TS]
00:21:48
◼
►
delicate Midwestern sensibilities and
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
how long after that he went back to to
[TS]
00:21:52
◼
►
Minnesota because fortune right well no
[TS]
00:21:55
◼
►
he he did a few other things and I guess
[TS]
00:21:57
◼
►
he decided after a while that he had to
[TS]
00:21:59
◼
►
get back into comedy because it was
[TS]
00:22:00
◼
►
something that was just in his blood and
[TS]
00:22:03
◼
►
he rented out a warehouse in minneapolis
[TS]
00:22:06
◼
►
that happened to be next door to where
[TS]
00:22:09
◼
►
Jim Allen worked and this warehouse was
[TS]
00:22:12
◼
►
where he built his props basically and
[TS]
00:22:14
◼
►
that's that's where imagine malin and
[TS]
00:22:16
◼
►
shortly after that I guess Jim Allen I
[TS]
00:22:19
◼
►
got a job at this
[TS]
00:22:20
◼
►
I guess the lowest-rated uhf station in
[TS]
00:22:24
◼
►
the Minneapolis area which is a KTM a
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
and while he was working there they
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
asked him to fill a couple hours of
[TS]
00:22:34
◼
►
our time during got him some very
[TS]
00:22:39
◼
►
unglamorous timeslot brother and he
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
immediately thought of joel hodgson who
[TS]
00:22:44
◼
►
had met and and hit it off with and
[TS]
00:22:46
◼
►
that's when they put together the
[TS]
00:22:48
◼
►
initial stages mystery science theater
[TS]
00:22:50
◼
►
that's the second time that we referred
[TS]
00:22:52
◼
►
to mystery science theater 3000 as like
[TS]
00:22:54
◼
►
the styrofoam packing peanuts in a
[TS]
00:22:56
◼
►
programming schedule say we've got this
[TS]
00:22:58
◼
►
we don't want we don't want wheel of
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
fortune to rattle around if there's two
[TS]
00:23:00
◼
►
out two hours of a dead air so let's
[TS]
00:23:02
◼
►
fill it with something
[TS]
00:23:04
◼
►
well that was how local TV was in those
[TS]
00:23:05
◼
►
days you would take you would take
[TS]
00:23:08
◼
►
really cheap to public publicly
[TS]
00:23:11
◼
►
available movies and you would air them
[TS]
00:23:13
◼
►
whenever you have a two-hour hold the
[TS]
00:23:15
◼
►
schedule and maybe you'd film some some
[TS]
00:23:18
◼
►
interstitials with like the the the
[TS]
00:23:21
◼
►
station's uh resident ham would put on
[TS]
00:23:24
◼
►
like a a cape and pretend to be a
[TS]
00:23:25
◼
►
you-know-what create account for each
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
unit and put your head over in la had
[TS]
00:23:31
◼
►
been googling in Chicago down in Florida
[TS]
00:23:33
◼
►
we had dr paul zehrer seeds these days
[TS]
00:23:36
◼
►
they just do infomercials but background
[TS]
00:23:38
◼
►
that didn't happen
[TS]
00:23:39
◼
►
what is partly why it was a genius
[TS]
00:23:40
◼
►
because they already had this library of
[TS]
00:23:42
◼
►
crappy public domain movies they were
[TS]
00:23:44
◼
►
sitting on exactly so rather than air
[TS]
00:23:46
◼
►
those by themselves they had a guy and
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
some puppets talk over it all so much
[TS]
00:23:50
◼
►
I think it's a coincidence we're talking
[TS]
00:23:52
◼
►
about a programs i mean this is a two
[TS]
00:23:54
◼
►
hour long show right it would never air
[TS]
00:23:57
◼
►
anywhere that was not desperate to feel
[TS]
00:23:59
◼
►
time it is like that is they go together
[TS]
00:24:02
◼
►
yeah absolutely that's I mean that's why
[TS]
00:24:04
◼
►
that's why the the show lasted as long
[TS]
00:24:08
◼
►
as it did I think it's because they had
[TS]
00:24:10
◼
►
this time you know fledgling Comedy
[TS]
00:24:12
◼
►
Network has to fill the time with
[TS]
00:24:13
◼
►
something and to be able to take to
[TS]
00:24:16
◼
►
block off two hours every week and I
[TS]
00:24:20
◼
►
want that midnight slot Steve you were
[TS]
00:24:22
◼
►
talking about i mean that is the same
[TS]
00:24:23
◼
►
strategy that leads to something like
[TS]
00:24:25
◼
►
adult swim it's like literally just put
[TS]
00:24:28
◼
►
this on in the middle of the night and
[TS]
00:24:30
◼
►
you know who's gonna watch it well
[TS]
00:24:32
◼
►
college kids countries they had it a
[TS]
00:24:34
◼
►
more standard time slot but then they
[TS]
00:24:36
◼
►
started airing reruns sure but then you
[TS]
00:24:38
◼
►
run you you run it you get to feel extra
[TS]
00:24:40
◼
►
time and run extra commercials and run
[TS]
00:24:41
◼
►
in the middle of the night and actually
[TS]
00:24:42
◼
►
have a chance that some people who've
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
you know gotten their third meal at Taco
[TS]
00:24:46
◼
►
Bell are going to sit down and
[TS]
00:24:47
◼
►
and watch it right and that's maybe
[TS]
00:24:50
◼
►
instead of two hours you're feeling 12
[TS]
00:24:52
◼
►
hours a week
[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
yeah exactly what I running they ran in
[TS]
00:24:56
◼
►
the mornings to for a while so once i
[TS]
00:24:58
◼
►
wanted to have I think they premiered in
[TS]
00:25:00
◼
►
the mornings and then ran it again in
[TS]
00:25:02
◼
►
the evenings so let's it's such a great
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
idea because that that that appeal to
[TS]
00:25:08
◼
►
the you know the college set i think
[TS]
00:25:11
◼
►
having the show on a midnight every
[TS]
00:25:12
◼
►
night that's that's genius if you want
[TS]
00:25:14
◼
►
to get that sent to pay attention
[TS]
00:25:16
◼
►
well my friends of mine and high school

supporting being comfortable they have
[TS]
00:28:59
◼

an interesting challenge with picking
[TS]
00:29:01
◼
►
the movies i think because they need
[TS]
00:29:03
◼
►
obviously there are plenty of bad movies
[TS]
00:29:05
◼
►
out there but they need a movie that is
[TS]
00:29:07
◼
►
isn't so bad that you don't want to
[TS]
00:29:10
◼
►
watch it
[TS]
00:29:11
◼
►
well other than
[TS]
00:29:12
◼
►
tremendous hands of faith that there's
[TS]
00:29:15
◼
►
actually a number 8 these things have
[TS]
00:29:16
◼
►
things have to happen during the movie
[TS]
00:29:18
◼
►
yeah exactly and they need to be able to
[TS]
00:29:20
◼
►
interject and it's still so it is an
[TS]
00:29:23
◼
►
interesting challenge that they had and
[TS]
00:29:25
◼
►
plus as they got more popular getting a
[TS]
00:29:28
◼
►
lot of the rights to the movies became
[TS]
00:29:29
◼
►
more and more I'm a hassle
[TS]
00:29:31
◼
►
alright also they they did cut them down
[TS]
00:29:33
◼
►
so that was an interesting point that I
[TS]
00:29:34
◼
►
would always notice is you just need
[TS]
00:29:36
◼
►
enough action and enough things to make
[TS]
00:29:38
◼
►
on it to kind of kind of do it but some
[TS]
00:29:39
◼
►
movies were unwatchable but when they
[TS]
00:29:41
◼
►
would finally find them if you actually
[TS]
00:29:43
◼
►
did try to follow the plot you would
[TS]
00:29:44
◼
►
realize that they would often take like
[TS]
00:29:46
◼
►
giant chunks in the movie and you're
[TS]
00:29:48
◼
►
like inflating the commercial break they
[TS]
00:29:49
◼
►
come back and wait what just happened
[TS]
00:29:51
◼
►
doesn't hit its don't even pay attention
[TS]
00:29:53
◼
►
to the plot of this movie but yeah they
[TS]
00:29:55
◼
►
did it is a strange are to find
[TS]
00:29:58
◼
►
something where you can clear the rights
[TS]
00:29:59
◼
►
that you can actually make jokes about
[TS]
00:30:01
◼
►
and that isn't going to make everybody
[TS]
00:30:03
◼
►
wish for death while they're watching it
[TS]
00:30:05
◼
►
and ironically when it came time to
[TS]
00:30:06
◼
►
renew some of the licenses to these
[TS]
00:30:08
◼
►
pictures when they started to the reruns
[TS]
00:30:11
◼
►
were still going strong and and some of
[TS]
00:30:12
◼
►
them started dropping out of existence
[TS]
00:30:13
◼
►
because the the the the rights holders
[TS]
00:30:17
◼
►
suddenly this property was worth
[TS]
00:30:19
◼
►
something because MST had come in and
[TS]
00:30:23
◼
►
and and crapped all over the film and
[TS]
00:30:25
◼
►
now it was the license was worth
[TS]
00:30:27
◼
►
something
[TS]
00:30:27
◼
►
it is people had heard of it isn't
[TS]
00:30:30
◼
►
manage hands of fate now like a super
[TS]
00:30:31
◼
►
cold movie but that really is owed to
[TS]
00:30:34
◼
►
mst3k almost entirely entirely ok mst3k
[TS]
00:30:37
◼
►
yeah I can't imagine people watching
[TS]
00:30:40
◼
►
that willingly know but now it now it's
[TS]
00:30:43
◼
►
like its own its own thing it's like
[TS]
00:30:45
◼
►
people talk about that movie as itself
[TS]
00:30:47
◼
►
but the mst3k is the reason that movie
[TS]
00:30:49
◼
►
is known by anybody yeah I think
[TS]
00:30:50
◼
►
Entertainment Weekly did a story on man

00:32:12
◼

◼
►
pappas owed and that's the high kiba
[TS]
00:32:22
◼

episode i've never seen it because that
[TS]
00:32:25
◼
►
was one of the KTM a episodes and they
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
never released those no no no don't know

104 really can see I've never seen it
[TS]
00:32:35
◼
►
anywhere and you're gonna wish that may
[TS]
00:32:37
◼
►
be able to master those because the
[TS]
00:32:39
◼
►
season 1 episode you could get you tell
[TS]
00:32:41
◼
►
that they were just riffing as they went
[TS]
00:32:44
◼
►
this might be the first time they saw
[TS]
00:32:45
◼
►
the movies they didn't have the Polish
[TS]
00:32:47
◼
►
of like a season 3 season 4 there was
[TS]
00:32:49
◼
►
some some i guess some issues with that
[TS]
00:32:52
◼
►
I'd that's that's partly why Josh
[TS]
00:32:54
◼
►
Weinstein Weinstein find something or
[TS]
00:32:57
◼
►
other left the show because they
[TS]
00:33:00
◼
►
actually first season they started
[TS]
00:33:02
◼
►
having scripted episodes
[TS]
00:33:04
◼
►
where's Katie ma was entirely off the
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
cuff and he was he was much in the camp
[TS]
00:33:10
◼
►
of I much rather do off-the-cuff trips
[TS]
00:33:12
◼
►
because he was actually really good at
[TS]
00:33:13
◼
►
that he was probably the best of the
[TS]
00:33:15
◼
►
group at just coming up with stuff as
[TS]
00:33:18
◼
►
they watched and so that was partly the
[TS]
00:33:20
◼
►
reason why he took off after the end of
[TS]
00:33:22
◼
►
1st season to the chagrin of not very
[TS]
00:33:24
◼
►
many people but right after I can't
[TS]
00:33:27
◼
►
believe I didn't mention vampire man of
[TS]
00:33:29
◼
►
the Lost Planet also known as horror the
[TS]
00:33:31
◼
►
blood monsters also starring John
[TS]
00:33:32
◼
►
Carradine and Phil seen at least a
[TS]
00:33:35
◼
►
little bit of this this is a really good
[TS]
00:33:37
◼
►
it's literally a
[TS]
00:33:39
◼
►
so several of the mst3k movies are it's
[TS]
00:33:41
◼
►
literally stock footage or footage from
[TS]
00:33:43
◼
►
i think a Mexican horror movie and in
[TS]
00:33:46
◼
►
black and white and then they shot some
[TS]
00:33:49
◼
►
seen interlinking scenes as if they were
[TS]
00:33:51
◼
►
receiving transmissions from the planet
[TS]
00:33:55
◼
►
and and they even had a little thing
[TS]
00:33:56
◼
►
where they talk about how it was being
[TS]
00:33:57
◼
►
bathed in chromatic radiation and all
[TS]
00:34:00
◼
►
that meant was that when they would cut
[TS]
00:34:01
◼
►
back they would put a different filter
[TS]
00:34:02
◼
►
over the black-and-white footage so dumb
[TS]
00:34:04
◼
►
sometimes it would be blue and sometimes
[TS]
00:34:06
◼
►
it would be read and sometimes it would
[TS]
00:34:07
◼
►
be green but it made no sense and and so
[TS]
00:34:10
◼
►
there was a sci-fi plot with this like
[TS]
00:34:12
◼
►
vampire plot super it's it's really
[TS]
00:34:15
◼
►
delightful and john kerry and of course
[TS]
00:34:17
◼
►
was happy to sign up to be in some of
[TS]
00:34:19
◼
►
those framing sequences because that guy
[TS]
00:34:21
◼
►
would be in anything and was you read it
[TS]
00:34:25
◼
►
you actually I i read about him because
[TS]
00:34:27
◼
►
of his always an appearance on mr. sighs
[TS]
00:34:29
◼
►
33 33 thousand and you read a bottom and
[TS]
00:34:32
◼
►
he's just one of those actors who feels
[TS]
00:34:33
◼
►
as though the job of an actor is to keep
[TS]
00:34:36
◼
►
acting that even if you're in a horrible
[TS]
00:34:38
◼
►
movie you don't get to act when you're
[TS]
00:34:40
◼
►
just alone with a script and just like
[TS]
00:34:41
◼
►
reading to your to the house plants if
[TS]
00:34:43
◼
►
you're if you're in front of an audience
[TS]
00:34:45
◼
►
and playing in front of other actors you
[TS]
00:34:47
◼
►
are practicing your craft and that is a
[TS]
00:34:49
◼
►
noble thing to do and I don't deny that
[TS]
00:34:51
◼
►
he made those crap movies but I kind of
[TS]
00:34:54
◼
►
had a little bit more respect for him
[TS]
00:34:55
◼
►
after that
[TS]
00:34:56
◼
►
yeah I think I i read actually stuff
[TS]
00:34:58
◼
►
about Jackie of what people know his
[TS]
00:35:00
◼
►
sons can't keep David but John Kerry was
[TS]
00:35:03
◼
►
a classically trained actor right if you
[TS]
00:35:05
◼
►
look at his IMDB page it is amazing the
[TS]
00:35:09
◼
►
movies that he was in are just amazing
[TS]
00:35:12
◼
►
just while appreciating a bad movie is
[TS]
00:35:16
◼
►
one thing that's one of the ways that
[TS]
00:35:17
◼
►
this really works is that I think a lot
[TS]
00:35:18
◼
►
of people who watched mst3k could
[TS]
00:35:20
◼
►
appreciate something bad would make fun
[TS]
00:35:22
◼
►
of it and then what you've got is this
[TS]
00:35:23
◼
►
format beyond the invention exchange and
[TS]
00:35:26
◼
►
all that you've got a format where you
[TS]
00:35:27
◼
►
have skilled comedy writers essentially
[TS]
00:35:31
◼
►
spending a lot of time coming up with a
[TS]
00:35:34
◼
►
lot of really good jokes to fill out to
[TS]
00:35:37
◼
►
fill out this movie that well you take
[TS]
00:35:39
◼
►
its to our running time but you take the
[TS]
00:35:40
◼
►
commercials out and it's like an hour
[TS]
00:35:42
◼
►
because I felt like there are so many
[TS]
00:35:44
◼
►
commercials mst3k sci-fi channel but uh
[TS]
00:35:48
◼
►
but it's just it's an enormous amount of
[TS]
00:35:51
◼
►
work now
[TS]
00:35:52
◼
►
a few years ago we did a uncomfortable
[TS]

[TS]
00:36:04
◼
►
of work and give me a real perspective
[TS]
00:36:06
◼
►
on how much I how much writing work goes
[TS]
00:36:11
◼
►
into an mst3k because you know you
[TS]
00:36:14
◼
►

[TS]
00:36:18
◼
►
movie multiple times and and throwing

[TS]
00:36:38
◼
►
lot of really funny people loose on
[TS]
00:36:40
◼
►
something like that because we all
[TS]
00:36:41
◼
►
enjoyed making fun of these movies on on
[TS]
00:36:43
◼
►
our own but then you get these
[TS]
00:36:44
◼
►
incredibly talented people in a room
[TS]
00:36:46
◼
►
together and have them ripping off of
[TS]
00:36:48
◼
►
each other and become something
[TS]
00:36:49
◼
►
altogether different
[TS]
00:36:50
◼
►
that's how it builds and he get those
[TS]
00:36:51
◼

references with references because you
[TS]
00:36:53
◼
►
know i might say something funny and
[TS]
00:36:55
◼
►
then you're going to say something funny
[TS]
00:36:56
◼
►
and then it brings back and forth and
[TS]
00:36:58
◼
►

rifftrax when they were considering the
[TS]
00:37:12
◼

idea of taking submissions from outside
[TS]
00:37:14
◼
►
writers i got an email from bill Corbett
[TS]
00:37:17
◼

[TS]
00:37:20
◼
►
want you to this is what this is the
[TS]
00:37:21
◼
►
format we want you to use and this is
[TS]
00:37:24
◼
►
approximately how long you should expect
[TS]
00:37:27
◼
►
to work on each you know each minute and
[TS]
00:37:29
◼
►
it was some ridiculous thing like two

00:37:31
◼

[TS]
00:37:41
◼
►
process as it stands now which is a
[TS]
00:37:44
◼
►
considerably different than sitting
[TS]
00:37:45
◼
►
around in the writers room with you know
[TS]
00:37:47
◼
►
five or six people just calling out
[TS]
00:37:48
◼
►
riffs as they did in the mst3k is now
[TS]
00:37:51
◼
►
it's more like they sit down and they
[TS]
00:37:53
◼
►
watched the movie over and over and over
[TS]
00:37:55
◼

and over

00:37:57
◼

well we did when we did that that
[TS]
00:37:59
◼
►
phantom Empire r if I did get a handful
[TS]
00:38:03
◼
►
of us in a room to watch it and we I
[TS]
00:38:07
◼
►
recorded that and I sort of transcribed
[TS]
00:38:10
◼
►
the jokes & time code them and we ended
[TS]
00:38:13
◼
►
up with like a spreadsheet with timecode
[TS]
00:38:15
◼
►
where we put in all the possible jokes
[TS]
00:38:17
◼
►
and then boiled those down and then work
[TS]
00:38:20
◼
►
to those into something tighter I know
[TS]
00:38:23
◼
►
Steve you worked on a lot of that and i
[TS]
00:38:25
◼
►
worked on that with you and that was a
[TS]
00:38:26
◼
►
lot of work and then we recorded all of
[TS]
00:38:28
◼
►
it and then half those jokes had to come
[TS]
00:38:30
◼
►
out because it didn't fit anyway that's
[TS]
00:38:32
◼
►
the painful part you said in the other
[TS]
00:38:35
◼
►
painful part is they're frequently parts
[TS]
00:38:37
◼
►
of the movie where you've got five great
[TS]
00:38:39
◼
►
lines for and other parts where you've
[TS]
00:38:41
◼
►
got nothing
[TS]
00:38:42
◼

a minute and a half and you cannot think

00:38:44
◼

of a damned sight
[TS]
00:38:45
◼
►
mmm it's amazing yeah yeah i mean you

00:38:48
◼

00:38:50
◼
►
sometimes when you watch episodes i was
[TS]
00:38:51
◼
►
watching some some late era episodes a
[TS]
00:38:54
◼
►
week or so ago and I it's interesting as
[TS]
00:38:57
◼
►
the writing staff changes that kind of
[TS]
00:38:59
◼
►
approach that they take changes and I
[TS]
00:39:00
◼
►
think a lot of the late the late
[TS]
00:39:02
◼
►
episodes and seasons 8 and above the
[TS]
00:39:04
◼
►
sci-fi episodes the the writing staff
[TS]
00:39:07
◼
►
with more frequently just say well we
[TS]
00:39:09
◼
►
gotta put something in here so they just
[TS]
00:39:11
◼
►
throw out some line for you get a
[TS]
00:39:13
◼
►
running gag where they refer to
[TS]
00:39:15
◼
►
something that was in the in the episode
[TS]
00:39:17
◼
►
or something else and had nothing to do
[TS]
00:39:18
◼
►
it was on screen right and there's an
[TS]
00:39:21
◼
►
increasing number of lines where you
[TS]
00:39:23
◼
►
know there's some just completely they
[TS]
00:39:26
◼
►
pick some random character out of pop
[TS]
00:39:28
◼
►
culture some guy who some some character
[TS]
00:39:31
◼
►
in the movie looks very vaguely like you

00:39:33
◼
►
know it's a stretch 8000 you know John
[TS]
00:39:36
◼
►
Carradine and and that's the joke and
[TS]
00:39:38
◼
►

[TS]
00:39:40
◼
►
minute-and-a-half or whatever the movie
[TS]
00:39:42
◼
►
was just so painful to write for it
[TS]
00:39:44
◼
►
that was the best they could come up
[TS]
00:39:45
◼
►
with I was pleased to read interviews
[TS]
00:39:47
◼
►
with them later on and there was one
[TS]
00:39:49
◼
►
there one after the whole ball game was
[TS]
00:39:51
◼
►
over and they start talking about the
[TS]
00:39:52
◼
►
problems they're having with the sci-fi
[TS]
00:39:54
◼
►
channel about how they had just almost
[TS]
00:39:57
◼
►
zero latitude in the movies they got to
[TS]
00:39:59
◼
►
choose because they were presented with
[TS]
00:40:01
◼
►
so few options they just had to make
[TS]
00:40:03
◼
►
everything work and the old stories
[TS]
00:40:05
◼
►
about the The Comedy Central days where
[TS]
00:40:07
◼
►
they might spend a lot of time figuring
[TS]
00:40:09
◼
►
that this is exactly the sort of movies
[TS]
00:40:11
◼
►
would work great for us but then
[TS]
00:40:12
◼
►
afterwards 45 days they realize that
[TS]
00:40:14
◼
►
there just isn't enough here to riff on
[TS]
00:40:17
◼
►
and just abandoned and choosing
[TS]
00:40:19
◼
►
something better that I i had a lot more
[TS]
00:40:22
◼
►
sympathy for them I I i did lose like
[TS]
00:40:25
◼
►
like like Moses on the rock I too lost
[TS]
00:40:28
◼
►
my faith and radar that day there after
[TS]
00:40:31
◼
►
the commitment of Merlin's house of
[TS]
00:40:33
◼
►
wonders where I was watching am excited
[TS]
00:40:35
◼
►
about this another episode of mystery
[TS]
00:40:37
◼
►
science theater 3000 I'm thinking yeah
[TS]
00:40:39
◼
►
that's that's not really that ok i'm
[TS]
00:40:42
◼
►
enjoying bimah joining the fact that i
[TS]
00:40:44
◼
►
see the shadows but i don't really
[TS]
00:40:46
◼
►
that's not really a lot of fun and yeah
[TS]
00:40:48
◼
►
it's it's just such a hard thing to do
[TS]
00:40:50
◼
►
via you have to find the right show in
[TS]
00:40:52
◼
►
order to make this work
[TS]
00:40:53
◼
►
the shorts i think are some of the most
[TS]
00:40:55
◼
►
brilliant stuff because i think that
[TS]
00:40:56
◼
►
asks there it's the the editing of a
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
short when you only have eight to ten
[TS]
00:40:59
◼
►
minutes to do to deliver something you
[TS]
00:41:01
◼
►
don't have time to do eight minutes
[TS]
00:41:03
◼
►
rock-climbing you have to have things
[TS]
00:41:05
◼
►
happen happen happen happen happen and
[TS]
00:41:08
◼
►
there's such a crazy idea and because
[TS]
00:41:10
◼
►
you get a lot of crazy people who are
[TS]
00:41:11
◼
►
just trying to crank out an eight-minute
[TS]
00:41:13
◼
►
filler subject on whatever it's such
[TS]
00:41:16
◼
►
great crazy fuel for for ripping on
[TS]
00:41:19
◼
►
shorts for the best part of that show
[TS]
00:41:22
◼
►
yeah I grace often yeah i mean that the
[TS]
00:41:24
◼
►
junior rodeo is still one of my
[TS]
00:41:26
◼
►
favorites i don't think a week has gone
[TS]
00:41:27
◼
►
by the PF and done and the crowd goes
[TS]
00:41:30
◼
►

[TS]
00:41:32
◼
►
texas-style they're doing a cloud style
[TS]
00:41:37
◼
►
yeah that's another unfortunate which
[TS]
00:41:39
◼
►
the data circus yeah one of my favorite
[TS]
00:41:41
◼
►
dirty jokes was in a shirt was what was
[TS]
00:41:44
◼
►
in short it was the winter sports one
[TS]
00:41:46
◼
►
where the announcer keeps calling skiing
[TS]
00:41:48
◼
►
Sheen have does and throaty robot says
[TS]
00:41:51
◼
►

[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►
that she whoring as well if i'm not
[TS]
00:41:58
◼
►
better than many times had by all
[TS]
00:42:02
◼
►
that's a very early episode yeah that's
[TS]
00:42:04
◼
►
another way in which the sci-fi era kind
[TS]
00:42:06
◼
►
of suffered because they were given that
[TS]
00:42:08
◼
►
ultimatum initially that they had to
[TS]
00:42:10
◼
►
stick to sci-fi shows only and that
[TS]
00:42:13
◼
►
pretty much eliminated any possibility
[TS]
00:42:15
◼
►
of doing shorts which right they they
[TS]
00:42:17
◼
►
lifted that restriction I think midway
[TS]
00:42:20
◼
►
through
[TS]
00:42:21
◼
►
season 8 they kind of eased up on it a
[TS]
00:42:24
◼
►
little bit maybe they were able to kind
[TS]
00:42:25
◼
►
of go back to some more thank you you
[TS]
00:42:28
◼
►
guys keep talking about the sci-fi
[TS]
00:42:29
◼
►

[TS]
00:42:30
◼
►

[TS]
00:42:33
◼
►

[TS]
00:42:37
◼
►
brain guy I can't break guy professor
[TS]
00:42:39
◼
►

[TS]
00:42:41
◼
►
yes and and pearl really came on her own
[TS]
00:42:44
◼
►
I i permanently the interstitial steps
[TS]
00:42:48
◼
►
to the film's by the end of the sci-fi
[TS]
00:42:50
◼
►
agree except the the only one the only
[TS]
00:42:53
◼
►
one that I really love is when when the
[TS]
00:42:55
◼
►
writing was on the wall and they said
[TS]
00:42:56
◼
►
okay you're done
[TS]
00:42:58
◼
►
and apparently they said we want to do
[TS]
00:43:01
◼
►
one thing that's just for ourselves as
[TS]
00:43:04
◼
►
long as we're still here not a sci-fi
[TS]
00:43:06
◼
►
movie what they did was they did
[TS]
00:43:08
◼
►
Maximilian shells german edition of
[TS]
00:43:11
◼
►
Hamlet brass you're the one guy that
[TS]
00:43:12
◼
►
likes to handle it that I'm the one guy
[TS]
00:43:14
◼
►
that likes the hamlet episode because
[TS]
00:43:16
◼
►
well because it's it's not that it's
[TS]
00:43:17
◼
►
translated from the Sheikh spirits that
[TS]
00:43:19
◼
►
it was translated into german and then
[TS]
00:43:21
◼
►
translated back into n which is nuts
[TS]
00:43:25
◼
►
so even without them it's it's wonderful
[TS]
00:43:28
◼
►
to listen to because it's insane but
[TS]
00:43:31
◼
►
aside from that I just I don't know the
[TS]
00:43:34
◼
►
side episodes i think there are a lot of
[TS]
00:43:36
◼
►
good episodes in sci-fi there the
[TS]
00:43:38
◼
►
riffing was still strong i'm not a fan
[TS]
00:43:40
◼
►
of the interstitials at all in that set
[TS]
00:43:43
◼
►
of episodes but there's some good stuff
[TS]
00:43:45
◼
►
in there's TVs Frank is missed ya Frank
[TS]
00:43:49
◼
►
Connor was a was a was an unsung part of
[TS]
00:43:52
◼
►
that shows greatness
[TS]
00:43:54
◼
►
you know it's funny and it's not just in
[TS]
00:43:55
◼
►
the not just in the deep 13 segments
[TS]
00:43:58
◼
►
where he and traceable you are missed
[TS]
00:44:01
◼
►
I think that writing really starts to
[TS]
00:44:03
◼
►
suffer right around the time those to
[TS]
00:44:04
◼
►
drop off
[TS]
00:44:05
◼
►
no you don't realize what kind of
[TS]
00:44:06
◼
►
contribution each of them has to the
[TS]
00:44:08
◼
►
writing staff until they start to
[TS]
00:44:09
◼
►
disappear and then suddenly the episodes
[TS]
00:44:11
◼
►
take a turn
[TS]
00:44:12
◼
►
no but let's not move let's not move so
[TS]
00:44:16
◼
►
quickly away from that with what a
[TS]
00:44:18
◼
►
wonderful comedic duo those two those
[TS]
00:44:20
◼
►
two guys yeah we're such a complicated
[TS]
00:44:23
◼
►
relationship where it was definitely an
[TS]
00:44:26
◼
►
abuser abused relationship but there is
[TS]
00:44:28
◼
►
a sort of affection there because
[TS]
00:44:30
◼
►
without that just just as liquid when
[TS]
00:44:33
◼
►
when Frank went away
[TS]
00:44:34
◼
►
and dr. Forrester sings this wonderful
[TS]
00:44:37
◼
►
song about well now that I don't have
[TS]
00:44:39
◼
►
somebody to abuse who do I kill and that
[TS]
00:44:42
◼
►
was the thought that was a lot of how
[TS]
00:44:44
◼
►
sad he wasn't how I missed Frank because
[TS]
00:44:46
◼
►
all I I need somebody to abuse and that
[TS]
00:44:48
◼
►
threaten that there's nobody here that
[TS]
00:44:50
◼
►
was moving episode when Frank got when
[TS]
00:44:52
◼
►
he ascended to second banana heaven
[TS]
00:44:54
◼
►
really was kind of sad
[TS]
00:44:57
◼
►
alright fine I must take my own bitter
[TS]
00:45:00
◼
►
pill who will kill something that mst3k
[TS]
00:45:06
◼
►
did pretty well was deal with these cast
[TS]
00:45:11
◼
►
transitions and and and move em with the
[TS]
00:45:13
◼
►
with robots they just changed the voices
[TS]
00:45:16
◼
►
and with the a-10 honestly going from
[TS]
00:45:18
◼
►
joel to Mike was less disruptive than
[TS]
00:45:21
◼
►
you might think mostly because mike
[TS]
00:45:23
◼
►
nelson had been there all along and was
[TS]
00:45:25
◼
►
the head writer and just sort of slid on
[TS]
00:45:28
◼
►
in there and I I don't you know it was a
[TS]
00:45:30
◼
►
different it's a different guy but I I
[TS]
00:45:31
◼
►
never had any problems it wasn't like oh
[TS]
00:45:35
◼
►
well when Joe left then the whole thing
[TS]
00:45:37
◼
►
went around well like a case like Steve
[TS]
00:45:39
◼
►
pointed out they tailored the show to to
[TS]
00:45:41
◼
►
mike nelson talents and they got rid of
[TS]
00:45:44
◼
►
the things that were very clearly things
[TS]
00:45:46
◼
►
that joel hodgson was good at and and
[TS]
00:45:48
◼
►
and built around the stuff that Mike did
[TS]
00:45:51
◼
►
very well liked the singing in the the
[TS]
00:45:54
◼
►
ripping and one right well I also i
[TS]
00:45:56
◼
►
think made a very smart move
[TS]
00:45:57
◼
►
albeit about an unusual one of changing
[TS]
00:46:00
◼
►
the hosts in the right in the middle of
[TS]
00:46:01
◼
►
the season
[TS]

◼
►

◼
►

[TS]
00:46:06
◼
►
there wasn't this big gap and then
[TS]
00:46:07

01:17:44
◼

three risks come to mind immediately
[TS]
01:17:46
◼
►
because they're just such brilliant
[TS]
01:17:47
◼
►
observations about how to do
[TS]
01:17:50
◼
►
storytelling one of them is when it's a
[TS]
01:17:52
◼
►
one-day was one of the spy movies where
[TS]
01:17:55
◼
►
for some reason the director decided not
[TS]
01:17:57
◼
►
to collect not to condense time through
[TS]
01:17:59
◼
►
editing the the undercover the person
[TS]
01:18:02
◼

who's supposed to be kidnapping this
[TS]
01:18:03
◼

unconscious person create builds this

really complicated pulley mechanism for
[TS]
01:18:08
◼
►
getting the body out of the room as
[TS]
01:18:10
◼

taking forever and then tom says maybe
[TS]
01:18:12
◼
►
this is a documentary and how to do this
[TS]
01:18:14
◼
►
and so whenever whenever i'm writing a
[TS]
01:18:17
◼
►
scene it's like we're twins you're
[TS]
01:18:18
◼
►
spending way too much time explaining
[TS]
01:18:20
◼
►
how something works this is not a
[TS]
01:18:22
◼
►
documentary on how to do this
[TS]
01:18:24
◼
►
there was another one in which i think
[TS]
01:18:26
◼
►
the group could have been like a hundred
[TS]
01:18:29
◼
►
episodes but i think i think crow says
[TS]
01:18:32
◼
►
but i think the director forgot to have
[TS]
01:18:33
◼
►
things happen and that's another thing
[TS]
01:18:35
◼
►
like when I after first draft stage like
[TS]
01:18:37
◼
►
okay Andy this chapter you forgot to
[TS]
01:18:40
◼
►
have things happen and then the third
[TS]
01:18:44
◼
►
one is actually more like a well
[TS]
01:18:46
◼
►
it'sit's the the rock-climbing episode
[TS]
01:18:48
◼
►
where there's a rift with its in the
[TS]
01:18:51
◼
►
episode the movie takes like 30 minutes
