Greetings, Gentle Forumbeings!
Much like Boyz II Men, we have reached the end of this Road Less Traveled, but we have one last adventure to draw this Mods’ Choice Watchparty Series to a close.
We recently observed that most glorious of weeks, Rodent Awareness Week, here in the States and we all agree there needs to be more awareness of rodents. And how better to do so than heading out to a remote island full of scientists and their out-of-control creations while a huge storm barrels down on them? No, no, it’s not Jurassic Park…it’s…
THE KILLER SHREWS!
pauses for screaming from the audience
Also, the little short “Junior Rodeo Daredevils.”
pauses for more screaming
Ahh, we can feel the excitement!
We’re still UNAUTHORIZED, still UNOFFICIAL, still UNSTOPPABLE! Keep on sneaking past Kinga’s Minions (like little quiet mice…get it?). We’ve gotten away with it this long, so let’s not trip at the finish line! If we all behave, Killer Shrew Drinks all around!
As this is a classic MST3K episode, it should be available to everyone. You can either watch your own copy or stream the episode for free at the Gizmoplex VHX site:
The Killer Shrews - MST3K: SEASON 4 (1992) - MST3K: THE GIZMOPLEX
In the theater, the crew watches as the inhabitants of a tiny island are terrorized by genetically-altered, giant killer shrews (played by dogs in masks) in “Killer Shrews” (1959). Meanwhile, on the SOL, Joel has a bad reaction to his Killer Shrew drink, as does TV’s Frank down in Deep 13.
Grab your Little Mermaid Ariel Bathtime Set, your Dragster Indoor Funnycar, and put on your best slacks from JC Penney to join us at 8PM EDT. (But of course, you can join in at any time by checking the clock and advancing to the current point. For example, if you tune in at 8:26 EDT, jump forward to 26 minutes.)
Remember, the Gizmoplex Virtual Theater is currently closed for cleaning (look, it needed some work…we suspect Munchie was involved), so be sure to meet us in the super seekret bunker (the VHX website)!
