MST3K Riffing: CURSE OF THE FATAL DEATH/TERMINUS

http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/3/1/2/event_258724882.jpeg Just in time for the holidays (and apologies if you thought this was a rerun of THE DAEMONS - Meetup glitch, and my apologies for the mixup).

For our holiday screening, we're going to laugh it up just a little bit - first, we're going to catch the 1999 spoof CURSE OF THE FATAL DEATH, which contains plenty of naughty humor, gratuitous celebrity cameos, and more cool things than you can shake a stick at. Originally done as a charity one-off, it's Steven Moffat's Doctor Who debut as a writer, and....well, it's a pretty funny skit.

In the spirit of our recent joint MST3K event, we're going to have audience members riffing on a classic Doctor Who....well, that's a lie. We'll be watching Terminus, a Peter Davison story that....well, I'm not quite sure what it's about. There's a large dog thing, and Nyssa leaves, and Tegan and Turlough have deep, meaningful conversations about life, love, and laughter in a ventilation shaft. In short, it's perfect for Mystery Theater Science-style riffing.

But please join us for a loving and laughing look back at the 50th anniversary year....by celebrating that sometimes, our favorite show has serious missteps.

And thank God we will never show Time and the Rani.
