To round out our Turkey-day collection of bad movie riff’rs, we bring you Mary Jo Pehl!
Mary Jo wrote for Mystery Science Theater 3000 for most of it’s 10 year run and appeared numerous times in one role or another. She was most often as heard rather than seen as the all knowing “Magic Voice”, but took the lead as prime torturer, Mrs. Pearl Forrester, in final years of MST3k.
She can now be heard and seen, at least her silhouette anyway, on Cinematic Titanic.

During the 10 year run of Mystery Science Theater 3000, Kevin worked behind the scenes and in front of the camera to provide the yucks, the guffaws, and snide remarks of one of our favorite ‘bots, Tom Servo.
We talk about his introduction to MST3k, the humble beginnings of the show, and his thoughts on movies today.
If you want to really get inside Kevin’s head about movies today as well as the films of yesterday, check out his book A Year at the Movies: One Man’s Filmgoing Odyssey. You’ll laugh! You’ll cry! You’ll want to see a movie!
