Weekend Discussion Thread: My Dinner with…A while back, alert reader Ken suggested “The character in a MSTed movie you could be friends with.” But I’m gonna change it up a little.
What character in a MSTed movie would you like to have dinner with, spend an evening with? What would you ask him or her (or it!)? I’d pick Bart Fargo. Oh, the tales he could tell, and afterwards we could go to a club and he’d be the ultimate wingman. What would your pick be?

I would have dinner with the Sampo blacksmith from The Day The Earth Froze. There would be plenty of grain and salt for crackers and we would discuss minion labor management techniques but, more importantly, I would ask how to keep the boogers in your nose from freezing. Crackle, crackle, snort!
-Scene- A nice steakhouse
Shrike: So what looks good to you?
Marinda: Potatoes are what we eat!
Shrike: Well, you can get fries, baked potato, or sweet potato as a side dish. But what steak do you want?
Marinda: Potatoes are what we eat!
Shrike: Yes, I understand that. But you should try a nice cut of steak. I’ll order you a filet.
Marinda: But…but…potatoes are what we eat?
Shrike: Waiter, the lady will have the six ounce filet, medium rare, with baked potato, everything on it.
-meal is served-
Marinda: Potatoes are what we eat! But damn, that steak is tasty!!! I…I…love’s me some meat.
Shrike: Check please.
-music plays- Bow chicka bow wow
I would have a lovely time at the diner with Michelle, Critter and Buzz…
Afterwards we would argue over who pays the tab.
“Natural Born Cheapskates”
I’ll tell you who from an MST3K movie I would NOT want to have dinner with: that chieftain (or whatever he was) from “Cave Dwellers”! I’ve seen the ceremony that precedes his dinners. Let’s just say my heart’s not in it!
Dinner with Kendra from Phase 4 would always be nice. Someplace laid back with room for her to park her horse outside that wouldn’t mind if she didn’t have any shoes. But a clean place. No trace of any bugs.
Betty from Teenagers from Outer Space would be nice company as well.
Hestia of the Fire Maidens might be a nice date, but only if she refrains from roofying any one.
In a totally different vein, just hanging out with Torgo and listening to him talk would be surreal.
I’d love to have dinner with the whole cast of The Mole People. I absolutely love mushrooms! Then for fun after the dinner we could go “whipping the mole”.
off topic (and nsfw)
i remember saying that someone should do a mst3k type show with 70’s adult films (just the story part), well they did it (found this when i was looking for mst3k sets to buy). its call this:
Boob Tube Show
look it up yourselves.
1964 Ann-Margaret for sure.
Michael Landon in I Was A Teenage Werewolf. A nourishing meal of pork chops tartare and black coffee, since there’s no milk (“meow” “meow”)at the father & son dismal shack…We’d discuss how much 30yr old high school gymnists tasted like chicken, then toss the frisbee around out in the woods. I’d fake the throw a few times for a laugh,then go cruising in his Monopoly-style jalopy.
I think an evening with Mike Pipper, the grizzled old prospector/archeologist from “Final Sacrifice”, would be very entertaining. He could fill me in on the history of lost Canadian civilizations and obscure Canadian death cults, and we could play a game of Connect the Gods. Plus his Yosemite Sam voice would make everything he says sound hilarious.
On the downside, dinner might consist of whatever scraps are found lying on the floor of his filthy, rundown shack. Or moose lip pie. Not sure which is worse.
