The 204: Catalina Caper Watch Party Thread!

Hello everyone! Welcome to yet another informal Watch Party where MSTies gather together to take in an episode from the Gizmoplex Vault!

Here is the episode I’ve selected for tonight’s presentation:

We begin at 7:00 PM Central.

So delighted at the chance to do this one! It’s just a fun, unique episode in the MST3K catalog. Lots to enjoy here.

Thank you!

Yay! This is one I don’t watch as much. By which I mean I’ve only seen it three or four times.

Gamera v. Catalina should still happen, though.

Kenny and Creepy Girl will probably bond over their shared love of talking to aquatic creatures.

For those who want to sing along -

Lyle Waggoner’s a total jerk
Second only to Tommy Kirk
Could you find it in your heart
To love a 'bot like me?

That fishy story you tell
Always makes me sleepy
But that’s just what I get
For dating a girl that’s creepy

My Creepy Girl!

Oh, “C” is for that feeling of uncertainty for not quite knowing what ethnic group you’re from. “R” is for the gifts you give me every time you smile. The first “E” is for—uh, well, I don’t really know. But the second “E” is really a grammatical thing 'cause otherwise it would be “Crepy Girl,” and where would that leave us? The “P” is definitely not for “platonic.” And “Y?” Because I love you!

My…Creepy Girl

Oh, what are you Creepy Girl? Are you French, Italian, or one of those swarthy Gypsy-types? Haha. Well, you’re accent suggests a romance language, but I can’t be sure. Oh, we can definitely rule out a Germanic language. But it’s okay! I am a 'bot without a country. All I know is that I love you! I want to shout it from the mountain tops! Uh, but, I’d have to get back down to Earth and actually climb a mountain. Or they could just drop me off on a mountain. I don’t care! That would be okay, because I just—need—YOU!

My…Creepy Girl
Won’t you be mine?
I’ll give you scrolls and fish
And tinker-toys and wine
I’ll ditch these guys
If you’ll be my Creepy Girl

Be mine before
Movie Sign!

I think I’ll join Little Richard and get hopped up on the goofballs first.

I think wanting to even attempt at riffing an Intentional Comedy deserves a lot of props. It’s a sign they were growing more confident in their skills and that they are more than just Vintage Sci-Fi or “easy” targets.

This works as both a “wind down” option or a palette cleanser if I’ve taken-in a lot of Deep Hurting lately. It’s a versatile experiment!

Checking in. Hope everyone is having a good Friday!

I think the difference still lies between a sincere effort and someone who’s trying to make a bad movie. This is an intentional comedy, but they’re still trying to make a good movie and it doesn’t bother me the way something like, say, Hobgoblins does.
