Transcription of SF Vortex
Daniel Needham
SF Vortex 'Warroom' on Jan. 25. This was the only part that had Mike
and Mary Jo on it.
Here it is:
Host: Hey, I'm eager to catch the new Mystery Science Theater 3000,
huh? And, to get us in the mood, we've got the guys from MST3k right
here in the warroom, folks! Look who's here! Mary Jo Pehl, MST3k's
evil Pearl Forrester and, a member of the show's writing team as well!
(Mary Jo smiles politely) Also, Michael J. Nelson is here, a.k.a. Mike
Nelson on the show, (Mike grins in mock-pomposity, laughs) and he's the
one marooned on the spaceship. Where're the bots?
Mike: Uh, they're in the trunk, it's very disturbing. You wouldn't
want to see it.
Host: It's not a pretty sight.
Mike: No.
Host: Also here, folks, Eric Wallace, freelance screenwriter, and
all-around good guy, and scifi critic. Thanks for joining us, gang,
okay, let's get started. Do we need more humor a la M S T k 3000 [sic]
(Mike laughs to himself at this blatant error on the part of the host.)
Mary Jo, what do you think?
Mary Jo: Well, I guess if there were more that would leave us out of a
job, so I think not.
Host: You think we have enough for now.
Mary Jo: Yeah, I think we're doing just fine.
Host: Eric Wallace, your thoughts.
Eric: No. I think Mystery Science Theater does what it does very well,
but that's enough. We need more serious science fiction. I don't think
it helps the genre to sit around and do what may be interpreted as
ridiculing, almost. Now, take it, these are bad films, but if you're
gonna do that, ridicule all films, ridicule good science fiction films,
find humor everywhere.
Mike: We can't afford 'em. We'll take 'em.
Host: It's out of the budget.
Mike: I want to do Cliffhanger, well, that's not scifi.
Eric: OOOOOOOOO.
Mike: I'll take anything, it's just that we can't afford 'em, so, we
end up doing these bad movies.
Eric: Where do you, I mean, do you go to people who've made these bad
films and say "We'd like to take your film and ridicule it"?
Mary Jo: No, they come to us.
Eric: They come to you? (startling epiphany for Eric Wallace)
Mary Jo: They proffer they're films to us.
Host: They want their films-
Mike: They want their films done. Some do.
Mary Jo: Frequently people do. But there are also distributorships who
have these bins and bins of bad films, and they're not doing anything
else.
Eric: I find it hard to believe that a creative entity, no matter how
bad a film is, would come to you, and say, "I'm the director of this
wonderful piece of you-know-what. Can you please make fun of it?" I
mean, is that what you're talking about? Or are you talking about-
Mike: You know, there's a guy who actually made a film just to have it
on our show.
Eric: For exposure purposes.
Mike: Well, it was, he made a bad movie and said, "Could you please do
it?"
Host: So, if I put together a little something, could you guys have it
on for me?
Mike: Well, to do an entire film on speck, I find to be a little
(unintelligable due to others laughing)
Host: Okay, let's get to one of my favorite parts of the warroom, we're
gonna read a little viewer mail, and see what you think.
Everyone: Okay.
Host: One of our faithful viewers, Mr. Bill Beckman wrote in, "MST3k
gives us a laugh not at 'B' Sci Fi movies, but at our own humanity.
Laughter is the best medicine." Now, I'm sure we all agree with Bill.
Everyone: Yes.
Host: But why limit the idea to only B movies? Is this fair to the
whole genre, Eric Wallace?
Eric: It should be, as I said before. Ridicule, if you're gonna do it
to one thing, do it to everything. Do it to A-list Hollywood, do it to
the best shows, the best and the brightest. I think you'll even the
playing field that way.
Host: Mary Jo, what do you think?
Mary Jo: I think the purpose of Mystery Science Theater 3000 is to undo
the bad movies, because they take themselves so seriously. I mean, when
you have a dog dressed as a shrew because someone stapled a bath mat on
him, it's very hard to make fun of good scifi movies because the
elements are there, the elements are holding together.
Eric: That implies that someone set out to make a bad science fiction
film in the first place, from what you're saying. Do they deserve to be
ridiculed for that, I don't think that's very fair.
Host: Okay, I gotta get outta here for one second, don't go away,
folks, we'll be back in the warroom for some more hot topics, as the
vortex rolls on, see you in a minute.
(commercials)
Host: Allright, welcome back to SF Vortex, we're still in the warroom
with MST3K's Mike Nelson, and Mary Jo Pehl, and screenwriter Eric
Wallace. Allright, gang, is a show, and don't take this personally,
It's just a question, I'm throwing it out there for whatever it's worth
Mary Jo: Okay...
Host: Is a show like MST3K, would it possibly be detrimental to the
SciFi genre, what do you think?
Mike: I hope so. No, I'm sorry, I'm just trying to get some random
acrimony here. No, I don't think so, I mean, it's kind of like making
fun of religion, it's always gonna be there. How are we, us, little
piddling, we're lint on the floor, how're we gonna destroy it?
Mary Jo: We're not gonna undo it, it's a thriving genre.
Eric: I think it's a good point that when people see you doing your
thing to bad science fiction films, and especially people who aren't
familiar with the genre, they're going to bring that over and say "Oh,
Science Fiction's a hokey genre, it's not to be taken seriously."
Mary Jo: Well, I don't think you're giving them very much credit for
thinking independently.
Eric: Science Fiction genre already has that problem. Science fiction
and horror films already don't get enough respect as it is with
mainstream media.
Mike: It's up to the shows themselves to gain that respect.
Eric: I would agree with you, but as much as you guys do a great job,
you just, I think, are doing a bad thing, it's a bad influence. You do
it well, though, I'll give you that. (Eric chortles at his own wit)
Mary Jo: I don't think anything should take itself that seriously,
where it can't take a little ribbing, and I don't think it's so much
about the scifi convention, it's about these movies where they're
employing weird methods to convey some horror and it's just not
effective.
Eric: Well, those weird methods, maybe just, they don't have enough
money to create a geigeresque alien like they did in A-budget Hollywood
films. Is that reason to ridicule them? Or, it's someone's first
acting gig, they just got out of school, or someone's first writing gig,
they're just trying to feed their family, and they make something that's
a klunker, it's a dud. I mean, you're own book, you have Kurt Vonnegut
talking about this very topic, and he says to you, "Well, maybe you
should cut these people slack, you know, I wrote some things that
weren't so good, and I had to eat when I was starting off." Boom, I
mean, Kurt Vonnegut, man.
Host: But don't the people send the movies to you. You stated that
earlier, they send you their, they know you're going to-
Mary Jo: Well, some people do, but there are distributorships that have
already bought up these movies that are sitting there in somebody's
basement not doing anything, because no one wants to see them anymore.
Because-
Mike: We've also, I mean, we've heard from the people that you've just
described, people that it was their first movie, and they actually like
it. I mean, we heard from Miles O'Keefe, who was in, um... Now that
his career is blossoming like it is, it's fun to see is old stuff.
Host: Ouch!
Eric: Some people may be like that, but I find it hard to believe that,
and, correct me if I'm wrong-
Mike: You're wrong.
Host: We will!
Eric: If like Roger Corman called up and said, "You know, I'm so glad
you ridiculed my film blank last night." And something else that
Mystery Science Theater, at least, from what I've read, says that Roger
Corman is a bad director. He's made a lot of bad films. I completely
disagree!
Mike: Okay, a good Roger Corman, name one.
Eric: I'll name five! I won't even name one. Mask of the Red Death,
Two Movement Gia, Premature Burial, House of Usher, AND The Raven!
Host: Go, Eric, you're on a roll, my friend!
Mike: Stinks, stinks, stinks...
Eric: Stinks!!???!!
Mary Jo: And by what criteria are you judging this?
Eric: By the criteria of showing, okay, let's take The Raven, let's
take a practical example as a horror film. It combines comedy, it's
funny.
Mary Jo (in an exasperated whisper): What?
Eric: You get wonderful performances from Boris Karlov, Vincent Price,
are you ridiculing Vincent Price? You're ridiculing a dead man?
Mike: I liked his cheese commercials.
Host: Let me butt in, if I may.
Mike: Please.
Host: 75% of our viewers that voted in our warrooom poll, okay, they
said that MST3K was not detrimental to the genre.
Mike and Mary Jo: WHOOOOO! (They exchange a high five over the table,
then point and laugh at Eric Wallace. I'm guessing most of us viewers
at home did the same thing.)
Host: Take it easy, now. Before you guys start doing the wave, 25% of
our viewers actually agreed with Eric Wallace. They think you're doing
a disservice. Okay, now, we're an equal service warroom. Go ahead, if
you want to make a comment.
Mary Jo: I fail to see how our show can undo such a broad, substantial
genre.
Eric: I don't think your show is personally, singlehandedly undoing 75
years of science fiction cinema. However, look at it as the foundation
for people, like I said, who are more casual viewers. A hardcore
science fiction fan isn't going to be thrown off by your show. In fact,
he's going to love it, because what you do, you do very well. However,
the people who are in the middle, the people who already don't have
respect for the genre, as I said earlier, those are the people who are
going to get the worst of it.
(at this pont in the transcribing, I got bored, so I ate cookies and
Nachos while listening to "Champagne Supernova" until my brain was was
numb again)
Host: All right, one of our viewers, Michaeil Lehman, he's a faithful
viewer, so let's read his letter. He says if it were good movies it
might be detrimental, but because these movies are, shall we say, not
that good, they deserve a little ribbing.
Eric: Ahhh, no. I don't buy that, because a lot of times, not very
often, but you guys have ridiculed, I think, good movies, and let's
sight some examples. Rocketship X-M.
Mike: Stinkburger.
Eric: Stinkburger!!???!!
Mike: Stinkburger.
Mary Jo: But the fact that there's-
Eric: No, that was one of the first science fiction films to bring
science fact into the forefront of main science fiction.
Mike: I agree with you, but that doesn't necesarily make for good
cinema.
Eric: Does that mean it should be ridiculed, though?
Mary Jo: I think it should be teased. I think we're teasing.
Eric: I think we're talking about opinions here. We're talking
about...you guys did Revenge of the Creature, as I recall, fine, I mean,
that I understand, but now let's take something like the Godzilla
films. You guys have constantly ridiculed Godzilla vs. the Sea
Monster. The Gamera movies. Godzilla vs. Megalon.
Host (sarcastically): Yeah, and those are classics, by the way.
Eric: I'm not saying that they're classics, but, it's a style of
filmmaking that's very traditional, very sacred for another culture in
Japan, and it's part of their traditions.
(Everyone talks at once in general disagrement of that statement for a
few seconds, and I couldn't understand any of it.)
Host: Okay, how many think Eric should lighten up? Raise your hand.
Mike: Right here? I... (Host and Mike raise hand)
Mary Jo: He's gonna hit me. I'm right next to him.
Host: Okay, let me move on. Name me one movie that should never, ever
appear on your show.
Mary Jo: Ummmm...me first?
Host: Go ahead, Mary Jo! What the heck?
Mary Jo: Um...The Sound of Music.
Host: Okay, there you go. Michael?
Mike: Uh...The Trial of The Incredible Hulk. It was taut filmmaking
and it was...
Host: That was terrific stuff.
Eric: Wasn't Thor in that?
Mike: Thor was in that. Very good.
Eric: With the wings.
Mike: I suppose your going to tell me you liked that move.
Eric: I *loved* it.
Host: Okay, real quick, before we get out of here, name me one that
just absolutely absolutely deserves to be on your show, should be
ripped, torn...
Mike: (gestures to Eric) What's *your* favorite movie?
Host: (not even registering Mike's comment) Eric, I think you're a
good one for this one, what do you think?
Eric: (He says this next line so smugly that you just want to punch him
in the mouth. He delivers it like it's the most amazing piece of wisdom
that has ever been said. He states it slowly and pretentiously.) Well,
let's go with something contemporary, let's go with Independence Day.
(Smiles to self and nods.)
Host: What? What are you saying three hundred million?
Eric: (still in smug-mode) No, it has nothing to do with money, it has
to do with stereotyped characters that aren't going to hold up in twenty
years. (leans back, smiling to self. Mary Jo is giving him a look like
'What's with this guy?')
Host: Allright, there you have it, that's it for the warroom, I want to
thank my guests Eric Wallace, the shy Eric Wallace, Mike Nelson, Mary Jo
Pehl. Be sure to check out the new Mystery Science Theater 3000, folks,
right here, where else, but on the SciFi channel? Now don't go
anywhere, because we are right back with more SF Vortex in a moment.
Well, there you have it, that's it for my transcription. Many of the
words are probably misspelled, but that's just because I either didn't
know them or I was moving through so fast that I missed my mistake. Now
that it's transcribed, it's easy to see all the times that Eric Wallace
contradicted himself. What a moron. Ha Ha!
By the way, I just got an offer in the mail where I can get a free
Winnie the Pooh sing-along CD. Whooo-eee! Oops, I accidentally just
dropped the letter into an incinerator, then encased the ashes in a
cement block, which I put into a titanium case and lowered into the
center of the earth, all the while shouting "away, away, foul turd!"
Well, accidents happen!

Oh, yeah? I got an e-mail telling me how I could get thousands of
beautiful marriage-minded Russian women from St. Petersburg. I'm sorry.
If I want a mail-order bride, I'm gonna get me an inflatable one.

By "go postal" do you mean you'll request that other MSTies send you
tapes through the mail, or do you mean you'll lock yourself in a room
with a semiautomatic weapon and lots of hostages?

I go that email, too. I'm going to send away for one. I've always wanted
a wife. I need someone to do the laundry and wash the dishes and remind me
of my appointments. She doesn't even need to cook: I've got a husband for
that.

Likewise, I suspect EtS has written a script that he either won't

Well, either one will work...
What's depressing is that the Sci-Fi Channel is on my cable
system, only scrambled. So I can hear the riffs, but won't

decided that I wouldn't make a very good husband. :-/

Incidental bit of incredibly useless trivia:
Actually, "The Trial of the Incredible Hulk," mentioned in the transcript,
was *not* the one featuring Thor. That was "Return of the Incredible
Hulk." "Trial" was the one with Daredevil. "Trial" actually wasn't too
bad, except for DD's costume, which had a blindfold sort of mask, since
Daredevil's blind. Of course, the problem is that *nobody's supposed to
KNOW he's blind!*

When they said "Death of the Incredible Hulk" I figured Dr. Banner
would find a cure, or at least sacrifice himself saving someone and
winning the day. But no. The ultimate down-note. Hulk falls off a
chopper, dies on impact, changes back to a dead Dr. Banner, and the bad
guys fly away.
Just wanted to get that off my chest.

I hated that, too. I still hate that. Thank you for reminding me how
much I hate that.
Hulk no like puny death. Hulk want big death like hero.
Yeah, yeah, I know he didn't talk in the TV series and subsequent movies.
I did all his dialogue at home.

Nicknamed "Hulk" from c. 1977-1980. Personality, not size or greenness.

Yeah, that's about the size of it.
For some reason, they won't offer you the box until your neighborhood
is wired for it, but they can show you the scrambled picture until then...
Meanwhile I'm waiting for the Cable guy, or someone like him...
Sheryl, so I gotta keep tabs on my tape connection
