GAM Bonus 069: Manos - Hands of Fate
Added 2022-04-09 20:09:42 +0000 UTCWe won't have time to record a secular bonus episode this month with the convention and the live show coming up, so we invited Cecil to help us record one while Noah was in Orlando. Enjoy...

Is that because there's less ambient noise interference?

2022-08-20 02:06:54 +0000 UTCThe little girl “ Debbie”, real name Jackey Neyman Jones , wrote a book called “ Growing up with Manos the Hand of Fate, How I Was A Child Star In The Worst Movie Ever Made And Lived To Tell about It” said in her book that the doberman kept rolling over on his back for tummy rubs...so much for hounds from hell. she has a cool painting show on Twitch, where she does paint parties,or one on one instruction, cool lady. A lot of MST3K fans paint portraits of their favorite ‘bots.

2022-04-24 04:40:52 +0000 UTCI've actually watched this movie before but I think I forgot about it in self defense, I got about 20 minutes into the episode before I realized it lol

2022-04-13 21:51:09 +0000 UTCY'all. MST3K was such an important part of my childhood that I have a picture somewhere of my youngest sister dressed up as Torgo. This shit-show of a movie makes my heart happy.

2022-04-11 15:55:26 +0000 UTCI thought he was actually wearing a goat foot prosthetic, but it never made it in frame.

2022-04-11 15:53:29 +0000 UTCRegarding torgos knees and weird voice, I recall hearing once that the plan was for him to be a pagan goat guy, satyr I believe, with backwards legs. But they didn’t know how to do that so they stuffed his pants and made him talk like a billy goat, and thus we end with the glorious torgo

2022-04-11 04:19:29 +0000 UTCSo you are aware: Manos Returns was made by Jackey Jones (the little girl) in 2018. It's as bad as it deserves to be. 2 former co-workers of mine did a bunch of the music for it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5056154/

2022-04-11 02:06:48 +0000 UTCI first saw this movie on MST3K, and I fucking screamed when I saw you guys did this one. This is worth my patronage all by itself. Also, you guys should do the 2003 film “The Gospel Of John,” it’s so goddamn bad. It’s the most whitewashed bullshit I’ve ever seen. They forgot to record some of Jesus' lines, so the narrator has to jump in from time to time to fill in the dialogue. It’s fantastic. Big recommend.

2022-04-11 00:31:35 +0000 UTCI saw Manos because of Mystery Science Theatre years ago. I'm so happy y'all did this one!

2022-04-10 17:43:20 +0000 UTCThe greatest episode of MST3K ever, thank you guys for doing this one!!

2022-04-10 08:54:33 +0000 UTCA result of cooler, denser air I imagine?

2022-04-10 08:02:15 +0000 UTCThe ending of the movie is even ickier when you learn that your man playing the Master was the little girl's dad in RL. Also, two additional bits of trivia: 1) The guy who made the movie was a fertiliser salesman, and 2) the movie was literally made on a bet that he couldn't make a horror film.

2022-04-10 05:17:17 +0000 UTCHey guys, sound travelling further at night is actually a legit thing. It might be the one thing Manos got right.

2022-04-10 02:46:38 +0000 UTCHoping the MST-3K guys don’t sue! I am psyched!

2022-04-10 02:39:15 +0000 UTCIn the military, it was demonstrated to us that sound does travel further at night. Has something to do with humidity or barometric pressure, or something.

2022-04-10 00:25:39 +0000 UTCOh my gooooood! I would've just said "fuck continuity, wear it right from now on and that can just be one weird scene".

2022-04-09 23:25:24 +0000 UTCThe reason for Torgo's "big knees" was a drug-fueled mistake. No big surprise there. The "prosthetic" (because that's not a legally protected term) legs were meant to convey that Torgo was like a Satyr. The stoned actor wore the prosthetics backwards, giving him the dumb "big knees" look. They were so low budget that once they noticed it, they couldn't go back and reshoot. So they kept it. For continuity they had him wear them the wrong way for the rest of the shoot. The actor being stoned for most of it was probably a good thing because wearing the prosthetics backwards caused him great pain as the metal bits were digging into his thighs whenever he bent his legs even a little bit- which is why his walk is so stiff and awkward.

2022-04-09 21:48:08 +0000 UTCThe Torgo Theme is my ringtone. Saw Rifftrax do this one live and of course I’ve always loved the MST3K episode. Welcome to the deeper chambers of my heart, boys!

2022-04-09 20:32:04 +0000 UTCThe little girl Jackey Neyman Jones wrote a book “Groing Up With Manos”. It’s a must for fans.
