Episode 905 title change

There's been another one of those pesky changes in the announced title of an episode. Instead of "Quest of the Delta Knights," the movie to be riffed in episode 905 will be:

THE DEADLY BEES
1967 Amicus/Paramount (England)

Producers: Max J. Rosenberg, Milton Subotsky

Director: Freddie Francis

Screenwriters: Robert Bloch, Anthony Marriott

Cast:

Suzanna Leigh, Guy Doleman, Catherine Finn, Katy Wild, Frank Finlay

The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film says:

Bee movie fans!--this one was the first. An exhausted pop singer (Suzanna Leigh) goes to a small British island to rest. Her rented cottage is on the farm of a beekeeper (Guy Doleman). A neighbor (Frank Finlay) also raises bees. Soon a dog, then a woman are found stung to death. And next the bees attack the girl.

And Leonard Maltin writes:

two stars--high powered shock scenes involving swarming bees are the only worthile attraction in horror film marred by dull script. In other words, he thinks it's just marginally worse than "Laserblast." :-)

Internet Movie Database says:

In "15th-century Europe...A young boy named Tee [becomes the apprentice to] Raydoor, who...reveals himself as one of the Delta Knights, a secret order dedicated to helping humanity. Trained by Raydoor, Tee also becomes a Delta Knight and joins forces with a ne'er-do-well painter named Leonardo (from the small town of Da Vinci), and a tavern girl, Thena. Pursued by Lord Vultare, minion of the wicked Mannerjay, they set out on a quest to find the lost treasures of Archimedes."

WHEN DOES SEASON NINE START?

It seems that the question is being asked quite a lot lately. And the answer is... noboby knows. The Sci-Fi Channel has not set a date yet. All they can say at this time is that it will definitely be in March, sometime. Our sources at Sci-Fi say that it's possible that it will be March 14, but that date is just a guess and is by no means guaranteed. Stay tuned!

Jack Frost
Saturday's episode is Jack Frost
Time: 5pm & 11pm
Channel: Sci-Fi
Info:

Jack Frost, near as we can figure, is a Russo-Finnish co-production. Like so many of our movies, it iscomprised of a bunch of unrelated elements which then are sort of taped together to form a tangible blob of moving pictures to which we viewers apply our persistence of vision and suspend our disbelief. I think... I'm guessing... I have been led to believe by the film that: the lovely, sweet Nastinka is despised by her stepmother who favors her own daughter. Nastinka meets Ivan in the woods one day, after he's had a long day of frolicking with a mushroom dwarf who then puts a spell on Ivan for his conceitedness. The spell turns Ivan into a bear shortly after meeting Nastinka. Nastinka feels she is to blame, as all women do everywhere for every thing, and searches the land to find Ivan, who himself is trying to find out how to reverse the spell. I think. I've only seen the movie seven or eight times, so it's all kind of unclear. Meanwhile, the evil step-mother is trying to marry off the other daughter. Throw in a bunch of elves, witches, dancing houses, snow and, of course, Jack Frost, who screws everything up then puts it all to the right.

Prologue: Mike Nelson IS Michael Flatley in Lord of the Dance. Gypsy looks on, duly unimpressed.

Segment One: Pearl Forrester is away, taking the prescient children from Episode 812 back to their omnipotent parents. She has left Observer and Bobo alone, and Bobo insists he's in charge; but Brain Guy has to take care of Bobo's daily ablutions. Bobo confronts Brain Guy about his odor de body and Mike gently referees.

Segment Two: Crow brings in an expert to elucidate the film, Yakov Smirnoff, played by prop-master extrodinaire Patrick Brantseg. Yakov doesn't know jack about the film, natch.

Segment Three: Crow has taken his bear simulation to the extreme, and down on the "Camping Planet" [as was our working title for the scenes not shot on the SOL] Bobo and Brain guy have finally, grudgingly bonded.

Segment Four: Who better to explicate the film than the drummer of Survivor's great-aunt Gladys Fletcher's friend Eunice Torgeson's estranged half-brother Earl Torgeson, a butcher in Sanford, Maine, who specializes in old-world sausages, who visits the SOL and recounts many a tale and fable about the movie Jack Frost.

Segment Five: Servo is darling. He's cute. He's adorable... as he persistently insists. Down in Camping Planet, Bobo and Brain Guy have an intense tête-à-tête about whether Every Which Way But Loose or Every Which Way You Can is the better ape film. They bring Mike down to con-fab, and Pearl arrives back declaring that Dunston Checks In is the best ape movie ever.

Episode of the Day

303- POD PEOPLE

First shown: 6/15/91
Opening: Crow's one man (or 'Bot) show
Invention exchange: Monster chord & Public Domain Karoke machine
Host segment 1: Spoofing the recording session

My reflections: This is one of the more popular episodes of MST3K. It's pretty funny and is one of the original MST3K episodes on tape. Although (in my opinion) not the best episode, it's still the funniest for hundreds of crazed MSTies.
