MST3k 318 - Star Force: Fugitive Alien II

[@crk2600]

I think some people just don't appreciate the work that our analog friend has done for us. Without him and people like him, lots of folks would never even have seen MST3K.

[@Musicandlyrics2400]

Exactly I found them and rifftrax on KZbin because it didn’t play on Canadian cable where we were

[@marcherwitch9811]

without analog and mondo, rifftrax would never have happened!

[@steveharvey2102]

Same here, my riff loving friend :) I'm in Montreal so finding MST3K was near impossible until a friend at work told me about them. After that I was on the prowl, looking through all the video stores I could find. Finally, after moving downtown I found one that had the VHS RHINO releases and I've been a fan ever since :) Cheers, mon ami :)

Oh, wow! The captain is played by Joe Shishido, of the chipmunk cheeks! He was a big movie star in the '60s who played in lots of yakuza movies, including Seijun Suzuki's notorious "Branded to Kill." Early in his career, he thought he was being held back by his face not being full enough, so he had a chunk of plastic implanted into each cheek, giving him the signature puffy face look you see here. I'd know those cheeks anywhere.

Ah: the "he's nicer than Hitler/crony-capitalism isn't so bad compared to Stalin" defense.

[@ChibiPanda8888]

That song medley sequence was golden and I loved the heck out of it.

[@analogkid01]

Joel was never really comfortable being in front of the camera (which should be sort of apparent), but he also started having creative differences with Jim Mallon, the producer of the show. The split was *mostly* amicable, as evidenced by Joel's visit in episode 1001, and his continuing work with some of the MST3k cast on "Cinematic Titanic."

[@BriarRouge]

analogkid01 But he also refused to let them use “Gizmonic Institute”. I prefer Mikes jokes.

Is that why he closes his eyes when he talks?

I keep hearing this, but I'd be curious to know what the creative differences were.

[@bjwwilcera]

@@yohei72 I'd always heard that it was less "creative differences" and more of a (still continuing) personal issue he had with mallon. for one thing, Joel sort of implies that Jim was the reason that the reboot didn't happen until 2016. My guess is that Joel wanted to either add more robot characters (which he ended up doing in seasons 11/12) or overhaul some of the shows set design qualities, and Jim believed it would tank the show's ratings
