Furthering my countdown of my top 25 favorite MST3K episodes, I present number 20, the only beatnik movie to feature no beatniks whatsoever, 415 "The Beatniks"!
Synopsis, from the MST3K Amazing Colossal Episode Guide:
"Young singer Eddy Crane is on his way to stardom. But Eddy can't escape the pull of his fun-loving hoodlum friends. Particularly problematic is his friendship with the shrieking psychotic Mooney, who kills a fat barkeep; and he can't shake his girlfriend Iris, even though she irritates the hell out of him. In the end, craggy agent Harry Bayliss and Eddy's new flirt Helen pull him back from the brink. Mooney is sedated and nailed for the fat barkeep job."
I saw this episode for the first time a few weeks ago, and I was wondering where the line "Shut up Iris" from Deadly Mantis had come from. Not only that, Mooney's lines for once he totally loses it are, while although overacted, are lots of fun to listen to.
The film's stinger was great too. Mooney throws a gun, apparently hoping it'd do more damage than actually pulling the trigger, lol.

Ohh. Excellent job on this pic. Even though I never saw the episode, I can definitely appreciate the obvious effort you put into this. :-D

Ah, yes, the "Beatniks". Technically my true very first intro to MST3K...though I didn't know its full greatness at the time and changed the channel after seeing only a few minutes. The bit that I saw made me _laugh_, however, and want to look up the show more seriously. The first episode I saw most of the way through was "Crash of the Moons" not long after, but that's a story for another day...
Anyway, my first riff was from this episode: "Watch out! Next time I'll _hit_ you." during a cheesy "fight" scene in which one character swung at another and you could SEE about a foot of air in between them during the "punch". Then everybody in my family cracked up. I may not have gotten the words exactly right, but...yeah. Good times.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
