Episode 0319 - War Of The Colossal Beast


 


This web site requires use of the Macromedia Flash software for this feature.


 



Movie Summary


 Short: Mr. B. Natural: 

In which a shrill, peculiar succubus visits a young boy to teach him about the spirit of music. Ick. Possibly the most popular MST3K short of all time.


 Movie : War Of The Colossal Beast: 

The colossal beast is back, and he's bigger and badder and beastier than ever. In this desperately unneeded sequel to The Amazing Colossal Man, the search continues for the sixty-foot-tall Glen Manning. Joyce Manning, Glen's sister, helps track him down, declaring in a moment of revelation, "Glen was sixty feet tall!" He is captured, diapered, and put up in an army airplane hangar while the army makes plans to dump him off on an uninhabited island. Glen Manning escapes, visits the nearby Griffith Park Observatory, and terrorizes a group of kids on a field trip. Unable to cope any longer, Glen grabs a power line and electrocutes himself in a sort of blazing film finale.

— Mary Jo Pehl

Host Segments


 Prologue: 

Joel, Servo, and Crow come up with new, names for Mexican-American food, such as the Chickeny Gatorade-Arita.

 Invention: 

The Mads create the Breakfast Bazooka, firing off rounds of toast, eggs, and waffles. On the Satellite of Love, Joel demonstrates the Between-Meal Mortar, and a Twinkie explodes.

 Segment 2: 

Crow and Servo debate. Topic: Mr. B. Natural—Man, Woman, or Hellbeast?

 Segment 3: 

First, Joel salutes the guy with the big, big head. Then Glen Manning (played by Mike Nelson) visits the Satellite.

 Segment 4: 

Joel is James Unguentine KTLA, and he predicts the future. One prediction is that Alan Alda is the Antichrist.

 Segment 5: 

Crow and Servo realize the movie is bad. Joel gives them a taste of his bread, and Glen Manning helps out by reading a letter. In Deep 13, Forrester shoots Frank with Thorazine waffles to get his day off to a heavily medicated start.

 Stinger: 

Mr. B. gads about madly.


Reflections

Two things: First, for me, the Mr. B. Natural phenomenon, classically called the Mary Martin syndrome, is not only uncomfortable, it's downright damaging. A boy with great legs and boobs is just plain wrong, I can't put too fine a point on it. This unaddressed sexual confusion is the kind of thing that causes potentially well-adjusted young gay men to run screaming for the closet.

Second, Paul Chaplin admitted to us that he found himself strangely attracted to Mr. B. Natural. We all slowly moved away from him. This, combined with his attraction to Jimmy's mom (see episode 0507 - I Accuse My Parents), has caused me to question not only Paul's sanity, but the very existence of a God.
