JethroMcB posted:Just found out that the actors playing Hank and Elaine were real-life brother and sister, which makes that aspect of the film grosser but also more coherent ("Oh, THAT is why they have no chemistry") She ended up being married to the step brother of Jackie Kennedy. So there's probably video of her actually talking out there, and that would be worth a watch just to see how she sounded.

Last night watching Women on the Prehistoric Planet on the Foreverathon saw that Linda and Tang played Harry Kim's parents on Star Trek Voyager.

I think it's genuinely very sweet that the leads from Space Mutiny were not just already married for nearly ten years before the film, but are still married to this day

Also Cameron Mitchell brought along his wife and two of his kids. (His daughter played a Belarian and his son was the "scanty" guy.)

An interesting fact is that the Bellerian stuff were reshoots done by David A Prior (Deadly Prey, Future Force) after the edit came in short. Which explains why none of that stuff ever interacted with the main plot. Also the edit was completely wacky because David Winters was almost dying at the time (he got better) and the movie was edited in his hospital room.

So in Jungle Goddess, the most racist movie since Birth of a Nation, a Mexican woman in blackface is cast as Wanama instead of a black actress because they just wanted an extra racism garnish or what

The first black regular on a TV show wasn't until 1952, the Betty White Show, and they cancelled that for her refusing to stop the guy from appearing again. So yeah, sign of the times.

Foreverathon is airing Lost Continent and the riveting ROCK CLIMBING sequence. The presence of Cesar Romero makes it slightly less painful than DEEP HURTING and Hypno-Helio Static Stasis, but just barely. How did I forget he was in this but remembered that Hugh Beaumont was?

These Joel era Japanese movie episodes have a lot of REALLY uncomfortable and borderline racist jokes in them :-/ (and the Mike era episodes aren't much better tbh)

They even call themselves out in I think Mighty Jack where they make a bunch of noises and Joel says is that racist? And you the viewer in 2024, say, yes, Joel, that was racist. But Tom Servo in 1991 says, oh, it's fine.

The one I have genuine trouble with is The Incredibly Strange etc. and how they just punch down on that one lady. Like in Horrors of Spider-Island "Babs played fullback for the Lions" is funny but they just go off.

It's also weird that they call it out in movies when they see it, but I guess it's extremely human to be blind to the minor questionable stuff we ourselves are guilty of. And I'm not saying the Best Brains people were racists or anything, just the normal mid-90s in-retrospect-questionable humour. Judging by the reactions Bill had to some of the riffs in Werewolf during the live episode, they themselves know full well how badly some of those jokes come across now. And loving hell this Catching Trouble short. Yeah let's lionize some loving Florida yahoo who hunts and kills helpless animals. It's fun for the whole family! I do like the running joke that the Florida rear end in a top hat's native pal looks like Emo Phillips. E: hell yeah this host segment after Catching Trouble. E2: somehow I always thought Teenage Caveman was an Eegah type movie, but no. It's literally about a caveman that's a teenager. Sure is an idea someone had.

Interesting thing is that Ross Hagen apparently was actually a pretty solid conservationist who did a lot to protect wildlife, but since this was the 50s the people making the short decided to emphasize him wrestling cubs.

Huh, yeah that definitely didn't come across in the short, but good on the guy in that case. And I withdraw my "Florida yahoo". Also lol at the clean shaven cavemen in Teenage Caveman.

Ross Allen is the Catching Trouble guy. Ross Hagen is the gravel-voiced lead of Sidehackers and Hellcats and a bunch of other lovely films.

One of my favorite things about Teenage Caveman is it has the same monster costume from Night of the Blood Beast (both released the same year).

I was in a work meeting for the final ~20 minutes of the episode so I missed all the plot and was surprised when the cavemen found a book on one of the monsters, and then that book had pictures of ... well, 1940s modern times.

Hence, a monster in the eyes of the cavemen. Yeah, it's a bit weird. It was just funny to me when I watched Blood Beast and was like "oh hey it's the protective suit from Teenage Caveman."

Dawgstar posted:In something I learned today, the Director of Photography for Touch of Satan also did Blade Runner. That's on the level of the same guy doing Cool as Ice, becoming Spielberg's go-to guy going on to do and Schindler's List, etc. The DP on Angel’s Revenge went on to do all three Back to the Future movies, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Big Trouble in Little China, The Thing (1982), Apollo 13 and Jurassic Park. (Also Road House.) Immediately before Angel’s Revenge, he was DP on the original Halloween.
