- While assembling materials for the All-Inclusive MST Guide/Resource,
- I remembered that this year's Turkey Day sisn't include either the
- behind-the-scenes segments that made last year's so much fun, nor did it
- include the Fiendish Plot of Dr. Forrester segments either.
-
- So, I began transcribing one or two. here's the first-- the
- "Making of MST" segment. Enjoy!
-
- Title: Making Mystery Science Theater 3000
-
- Kevin Murphy:
- The whole process starts in the writing room, where a team of
- writers get together and look at a film.
-
- (We see the Writing Room-- the writers are watching 'Santa Claus
- Conquers the Martians.' Kevin Murphy says, "Oh, God, he's _peeing_
- himself!_ and the others laugh.)
-
- We look at it, and we've got somebody sitting at a computer--
- quite a good typist, because she has to keep up with us as we
- shoot these jokes out.
-
- (We see a close-up of the Macintosh the secretary is using: each
- one-liner is matched to a numeric code that, I guess, correspond to
- a timecode on the film. Yep, I actually transcribed what's on the
- screen, and here it is:
-
- IS THIS AN INGMAR BERGMAN PLAY?
- WHAT'S VIETNAM?
- PHOOEY, NUTS TO YOU
- WHAT A KOINKYDINK (CURLY) I'M A VICTIM OF COICUMSTANCE!
- HOW IRONIC. THE THING WAS INCREDIBLE. THEY'RE ON THE SET OF THE
- TROUBLE WITH HARRY.
- HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO!
- WE RUN ON L.F. GAS-- HE'S GOT A WHAMMO AIR--
- BOY ARE YOU STUPID!
-
- I think this matches the scene in "Santa Claus Conquers the
- Martians" when the Martians first kidnap the Earth children.)
-
- Joel Hodgson:
- And then the second day we write the host segments, which are
- kind of based on things in the movies that we can elaborate
- on.
-
- (Set of the pre-movie host segment of "Santa Claus."
-
- Crow: I wanna decide who lives and who dies!
-
- Joel: Uh, I don't think so. . . )
-
- Jim Mallon:
- The third day we go back at the movie with the home writers
- scripts, and we revise it.
-
- (We see Mallon on the set looking over the script with Michael J.
- Nelson and an unidentified woman.)
-
- Joel Hodgson:
- Fourth day is prop day, fifth day is rehearsal,
-
- (We see Frank getting fitted with a microphone)
- sixth day is Host Segment day,
-
- (The "Patrick Swayze Christmas" song being taped-- Crow sings,
- "I'll have to smash your kneecaps if you bastards touch my car!")
-
- seventh day is movie day,
-
- (we see the silhouette being taped in front of a massive blue
- screen)
-
- eighth say is review, and then we start over again.
-
- (End.)
