Last night I watched "Monster A Go-Go" - so painful!

At the (I think) second Expo-Fest-a-Rama, my ex went as the Monster A-Go-Go. Did a fairly good zombie spaceguy walk, too!

Last night I watched "Monster A Go-Go" - so painful!

That and The Starfighters are the only times I ever considered NOT watching an episode through to the end. I applaud you for making it, Sir or Madam.

In other news:

This is the song, 'bout something or other,​

This is the line, that's mostly filler,​

He TRIIIIIIIED to kill me with a forklift!​

Huzzah!​

Can you tell which episode I just watched? ​

-----------------
This is the song, that goes to the fight scene!
This is the fiiiiight, Rocky and Ken!
He TRIED TO KILL ME WITH A FORKLIIIIIFT...

Now the version a bunch of Msties spontaneously broke into (myself among them) when we were all bunched up waiting for a bus to take us from the lovely historic theatre in downtown Minneapolis (for the Live Show) to the hotel where the convention was going on:

This is the line, the line for the tour bus
To take us back, to the hoteeeeeeeelllll...
Don't TRY TO KILL US WITH A FORKLIIIIIIIFT...

Also notable on the bus ride (a bus full of msties is a dangerously wonderful thing, and yes, most of us were total strangers): we circled a block once when the driver got lost. So someone yelled out, "Hey, didn't we pass that billboard a couple of streets back?" To which I and my friend and several others yelled back, "It's clearly following us!"

Sounds like fun Newsie. As for me, the one movie I will never watch again is The Lost Continent. One word... Rockcliiiiiiimbing!

 

[ZeppoAndFriends]

Don't diss Lost Continent or I'll short-sheet your rock!

In other news that happened a while ago that nobody commented on:

• Hotel Torgo documentary
• Jam Handy To The Rescue! featurette
• Hired! the complete short film
• And other unspecified bonus features

Did anybody else know about this and/or have already picked up a copy?

 

[newsmanfan]

---------------------
Sweet! Yes, as usual, my buddy Marty was ordering a copy. Have you watched the special features yet, Zeppo? "Hotel Torgo"...NICE title..."bad movies check in, but then they just wind up being leered at and dancing the Satanic hula with a bunch of undead hotties...and don't check out"?
------------------

 

[ZeppoAndFriends]

I haven't actually gotten a copy yet, but it's on my 'Look for the next time I'm at Best Buy' list (they're the ONLY store around here that carries MST3K).

By the by, have you found out what the unspecified bonus features are?

 

[Son of Enik]

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been here in a long while but I did indeed purchase the MST3K vs. Gamera set, and have watched the entire set twice already!! Love it!! I had forgotten how funny those episodes were and now I am in the process of collecting more sets...I am an MST3K junkie all over again!!

 

[newsmanfan]

-----------------
Have asked my buddy Marty about the Manos set's special features; no word back yet. I'll let you know!
