Mystery Science Theater 3000: THE DEAD TALK BACK Rewatch
May 13, 2021 12:50 AM - Season 6, Episode 3 - Subscribe
Re-rewatch! It's the third time we've shown this manifestly absurd film, about a parapsychologist with a Kermit-the-Frog voice who assumes that he has gravitas, and everyone else in the movie seems to believe it too. He lives in the basement of a boarding house with a collection of pseudo-supernatural trinkets, where he awaits the call of Law Enforcement when they need his, um, special talents. Sadly a lot of the movie is talking. Comes with a short, The Selling Wizard, in which a narrator and a mute pizza dominatrix jointly attempt to sell the audience on commercial freezer units. Previously and again.
This has one of my favorite relatively obscure riffs in it:
Younger, than Springtime, are you sir.
Which is a reference to the song "Younger than Springtime" from the musical South Pacific.
