“She’s presenting like a mandrill!” “Didja see my butt???” God, I love that episode. ---

[A Real Cult Vlasic](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049370/) We open on the SOL as Joel engages in the time-honored art of ventriloquy, with Crow as his puppet, “Peanut the Woozle”. Why there are so many references to Peanut the Woozle, in MST, I can’t say - I imagine that Joel is real-life friends with the comic who uses that bit. When we come back from commerical, Crow uses Joel as a puppet. The Mads start us off with a short, ‘Snow Thrills’, which provides us with our signature riff this time. And then - It Conquered The World. The MST Crew’s first encounter with Roger Corman. This SciFi B-picture isn’t actually as horrible as much of Corman’s body of work, and seems fairly typical of a 50’s Scifi pic. It stars Lee Van Cleef (AKA ‘The Ugly’ from the Good, The Bad, and the Ugly - or maybe he was ‘The Bad’) … and Peter Graves. Which means the Biography and Mission Impossible references fly thick and fast. We duck out to see the crew riff on the Short, with ‘Winter Bloodsports’, and then get our first glimpse of the pickle… er, monster. It has strange butterfly-gliders that can inject people with mind-controlling darts (the same butterfly creatures would crop up again as the shapechanged forms of the Witch Livia and her Imp in Roger Corman’s The Undead). There’s a good segment about ‘Celebrity siblings’ later in the show, prompted by Peter Graves and his famous brother, James Arness. The movie concludes with Graves giving a classic “Spirit of Mankind” speech in grand sci-fi tradition - a speech which they watch again in the closing host segment… and play over the credits… and use part of for the stinger. ---

“It”, eh? Yep, we’re gonna be ruled by a giant artichoke who can’t come out during the day. I’m scared. ---

Movie Narrator: “In Norwegian, ski is pronounced shee.” Crow: “I think they’re full of skit.” ---

> [@NoClueBoy](#): > > Movie Narrator: “In Norwegian, ski is pronounced shee.” > > Crow: “I think they’re full of skit.” Which is the signature riff I forgot to attach, thanks. 😉 Specifically, it’s : Announcer : “And ‘shi-ing’ is the correct pronunciation, they tell us.” Joel : “Yeah?

Would you believe that Roger Corman was in “The Silence of the Lambs?” He played the head of the FBI, for Pete’s sake! ---

378 posts, and not a single mention of “The Day The Earth Froze” (at least I didn’t see any)? This episode forms the basis for 2/3 of the in-jokes for my friends and I when we were in grad school. We even had a Day The Earth Froze drinking game! Look at me! I’m a moose! 🙂 (I admit the absolute best moment was the hang-glider scene in Cave Dwellers. It absolutely put me on the floor the first time I saw it…) ---
