this is kind of late notice, but i didn't find out myself until just a short while ago. turner classic movies is running both monster a-go-go and the giant spider invasion tonight, beginning at 2am (EST)! someone who is connected with tcm must be a mst3k fan, because a month or so ago, they ran ISCWSLABZ. both movies tonight get one star. and the description of GSI says a scientist and his girlfriend hunt for car-sized mutant spiders in the midwest. what the hell? first of all, they were BOTH scientists. if you ask me, she was much more scientisty than the guy. she had tubes and vials and things that made science-y noises. secondly, there was never any definite "we are now boyfriend and girlfriend" declaration between the two. after spending so much time together trying to figure this spider thing out in that pissant town, they just came to terms with the fact that neither would ever do better. so they rolled on each other, big deal! like any of us haven't done the same thing in a pinch.

Especially if you live in Wisconsin, or even Illinois, for that matter.

a scientist and his girlfriend hunt for car-sized mutant spiders in the midwest. That sounds like a pretty good movie, I might have to check it out. |

lol! that's the same description i got on my tv. at first i thought they mean the farmer and his lady but then realized the scientist part. maybe scientists have different coda.
then there was the monster a-go go one which was like "an astronaut returns as a monster" but, THERE WAS NO MONSTER!!! also it was funny to see Robert Osbourne give the lead in to this movie i forgot what exactly but it was positive since i was saying to myself "wow he looks enthused." but of course he's not going to go in there with "up next our movie is a trainwreck of epic proportions..."

Me too. Speaking of which, TCM is playing Bert I. Gordon's masterpiece The Magic Sword this Saturday morning. The "C" stands for Classic!

The question is "What does the M mean?" What are the odds that Manos will make its way into TCM's Underground? For truly, once you go Go-Go, it's hard to do worse than worst. Confession Time: I like Monster a-Go-Go. I recorded it and I plan on watching it again soon. |

I could see them doing that, if they specifically advertised it as being a bad film. I don't know how they represent movies like Monster a Go-Go, but even the ones mentioned above seem a step above Manos. I'm guessing they'd get more views for Manos as well, as I think it's more widely known than the others. |

How interesting. I didn't even realize that Lard Arm was a scientist, I thought he was just there to make the girls swoon.

Unless there is another 12 minute short called A Visit To Santa (1963) it looks like TCM is showing it Sunday night (Dec 21st) at 9:48pm. TCM's description says --No image available; No material available; No synopsis available.
I know they've been showing MST'd movies lately, but this abomination? Someone in TCM programming must be a serious MST/Rifftrax fan.
Anyone who hasn't yet seen this nightmare of a short MUST invest the 12 minutes.

It would be truly awesome if they were to then broadcast the "riffed" version of the short on the SAP audio channel. I recall several years ago, they used the SAP channel to play Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" during a broadcast of "Wizard of Oz," so TCM is certainly capable of doing some cool, risky stuff.

well, i set my vcr to tape TCM and did indeed get a visit to santa. it is much more painful, of course, without mike, kevin and bill. i can't believe TCM would run that terrible little short. it is so bad it is literally creepy. i also managed to get a few other shorts as well. as a boy grows, was the first one, a sex ed short made back in the fifties. WOW. just...wow. evidently, back in the fifties, school coaches were required to carry around multiple visual aides and encourage open, very frank discussions about that special time in a boys life. then there was gang boy, a rather long short that was mostly depressing. but i wish so much that rifftrax would do trouble maker. it was hilarious and very much worth their time, i think.

i'm bumping this old thread to tell everyone that TCM is going to show - why, i have no idea - shake hands with danger, march 27th at 5:30 a.m. as i said in the RT forum, someone at TCM has to have a background in mst3k and rifftrax. five-thirty is a little early to shake hands with danger, though.
