This show is always such a comfort, especially in fall and winter. I like to cozy up with a blanket, my cat, some corn, green pepper, chicken, [sigh] onions...
This is among my favorite episodes. As well as Pumaman.....Space Mutiny.....Future War.....Warrior of the Lost World.....Laserblast.....The Final Sacrifice.....(sigh) Manos.....
@@ElMattoGrande Yeah, I'm the same. I actually don't like many of the episodes most Misties rank as the best because the movies aren't enjoyable - Pumaman and Space Mutiny, for example, are just so crap as films I can't get through them, even with Mike and the bots.
Agreed. I went to visit a friend in California for a week a couple years ago, and I referenced that so much that I ended up having to show her the sketch.
I couldn't agree more. I even recall thinking it was pretty damn funny as a child when I first saw it on tv back in the '90s.. so much so, that while I couldn't remember which episode it came from, or even "California lady" until I saw this on here a few years back, it still remained one of the most prominent mst3k memories in my head, the last 20+ years. Seeing it again a few years back/yet again, today... holy shit, it legit had me dying. Whenever they go off on some weird behind the scenes / prologue type shit, it is always hilarious
The group is Frank Larrabee and his band. According to Wikipedia he was coerced into playing it in the movie. The scene was shot at the Albuquerque Ramada Inn.
I wanted the real name so badly so thanx. Poor Mike having to keep saying," the band that sang California Lady.." was funny, but tedious, so thanx. How you got that info- & what did happen to them? - bb
Unnecessary, but could it be - Crow will never know the touch of a woman...man... whatever he wants- cuz he's a 'Bot ? Except for getting greased up by Mike the time they sent him to deep 13 to "escape" ? Gotta wonder what's in that mad lacrosse- Bot ! - bot's head ...- bb
I'd just like to point out that the pet lizard in this movie has NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING EVER AT ALL. It gets its own introductory scene, with commentary and foreshadowing from the main characters, then disappears from the film shortly after, never to become relevant again. Top notch writing here folks.
Maybe it’s supposed to be a red herring? Like we’re supposed to think there’s a chance it actually broke out if it’s cage and killed that guy? Maybe that’s giving the writers too much credit
I love the way the dialog is delivered through out this whole thing. It's like they're reading off of cue cards in the distance and have to keep pausing because they can't quite read what it says.
19:04 ...”should I leave the bike running so I can take you right home afterwards?” ...watched this episode AT LEAST 10 times and never caught this one until now.... this is why mst3k just never gets old to me...always catch something new...love it!!!
I have seen this episode probably 50+ times, but it just occurred to me that TWO moon rocks hitting TWO different people in the head 400 years apart but on the same tribe’s land is probably THE most unlikely thing to have ever happened
The first time I saw this episode, I immediately knew it was going to be the clip for the stinger. A distant second choice would be the stew ingredient list.
I love that Johnny Longbow knows to go back to the museum with a lead lined glove to test a theory. He walks closer to the meteorite and says "It should happen just.... about..... here..... zap!" But when asked what that was he says "I don't know." Great writing!
track of the moon beast unaltered is considered a sedative too potent for general consumer distribution. They had to put something in it to counter that effect or they wouldn’t be allowed to make the episode.
I saw The Band That Played California Lady in L.A. in ‘86 co-headlining with Nat King Cole and Slayer. The friendly lookin’ backup singer, apparently in the throes of mescaline withdrawal, attacked Slayer’s drummer with a tambourine.
She says, upon seeing Ty the lizard, “It’s us I’m really worried about.”. Lady, you’ve been together less than a day. It might’ve played better if they were high school sweethearts who went to different colleges or something.
I was watching some docu where the announcer sounded just like Mike in his "documentary" and tried to explain that to my wife. So tonight I'm rewatching this and I'm going to play Mike's bit but I can't remember what the original docu is. Too much dope as a youngster, lol. UPDATE: I found it! If anyone cares to hear. ua-cam.com/video/7FMKPBGQ0Lg/v-deo.html
That scene at the beginning where they try to explain away the "practical joke" was seriously one of the most painful scenes I've ever seen in film. Well, I guess I wouldn't consider this "film", but still... It was painful.
I like how Paul just stares blankly and unamused at them while they explain it, seemingly implying "yep, your joke was bad, and you should feel bad", which is almost funny because that is what I would probably do in real life. It stops short of being funny when I realize it is because the actor just can't act. lol
It's not as awkward as when the girl comes home with him (beautiful Antiseptic Manor - good thing his MOTHER is out of town) and they just shuffle around silently and don't make eye contact.

Cathy speaks every line like it was typed on the back of a cereal box, and the dialogue between her and Paul is like the director took one movie whose male lead was named Paul, and a different movie whose female lead was named Cathy, and shuffled those characters’ lines together.
They was no chemistry … I don’t like to be so critical, but their acting was really bad. As Tom stated Seth Thomas was the best actor in the film. She wore some cute outfits though. And it seemed like Paul was dubbed?
It's like you can feel his shame (and see a slight glimpse of distant sadness on his face) in having to say 'That's why so many tribes in this area, have... legends about lizards'... really terrifying and tragic more than funny
I love how they keep harping on the concept that these people have only known each other less than a week...and they love each other. Oh boy "The End..might I suggest" So many good zingers in this episode.
Many were box office bombs or went straight to tv. Apparently there are a lot of people willing to put money up front to have a movie made, no matter how bad. If they can do it for a cheap as possible, they hope to make a few $$. People will watch anything.
I remember camping out overnight to be the first in line to get tickets to see The Band That Played California Lady only to discover, when the ticket office opened, that it was the band that played California Girls instead. What a bummer.
Yes, she basically does that from the moment they meet. 🤣 It’s a strategy I guess. It seemed to work out for her. Well, until he turned into a lizard and died anyway.
I know it's kinda frowned upon by some Misties if your favorite episode is from this late in the series, but...this is my favorite episode. Put that stew in your bowl and sip on it.
Not frowned upon by me! I loved MST3K since the Joel days, and season 10 is the strongest by far in my opinion. I don't care for the newer ones with Jonah though.
Honestly the Pearl seasons are my favourite, I find her trio with Bobo and Brain Guy infinitely more interesting that Dr Forrester, Earhart and TV’s Frank
I thought the choppy editing in the violent scenes was because MST3K toned down the violence by cutting a few moments of gore, but no. I found the original without the jokes, and it really is that choppy!
This movie is like it was assembled from all the unimportant unused footage from another film. The skit with crow apologizing for getting a bigger reaction than he bargained for is awesome.
She reacts more viscerally to him casually saying “moon rock” than she does by being bowled over by said flaming rock falling from the sky and hitting them. Also a rock that big would have left a crater and/or killed the guy instead of simply giving him a minor scratch on his head...
28:38 Mike “He sure gave that lizard a lot of head room”. Crow “Maybe he has a trampoline in there”. I’ll never get that hilarious image out of my head.
Johnny Longbow is one of my favorite characters in an MST3K movie! About the only ones better than him are Torgo, Dave Ryder (Aka the man of a hundred manly nicknames), and an ensemble award for everyone in 'The Final Sacrifice' (Yeah, Rowsdower sticks out as the crowd favorite in that film, but every other character in it got a lot off laughs, too)!
I agree!! Hahaha Although the midget from Outlaw of Gor also makes my list, as well as the crotchety shopkeeper from Brute Man 😂😂👌🏻👌🏻 so many good characters ah!!
Brilliant way of putting it. It's so strange the way they act, and I've seen characters fall in 'love' with no chemistry, but these two have negative chemistry.
For those, um, curious: the fish-lip guy who sings California Lady, Frank Larrabee, now works for the Appaloosa Horse Club on the Board of Directors in Corrales, NM, according to IMDb. No idea what happened to the Eskimo or the backup singer, though.
@@AhNee "E" word? You mean Eskimo? I didn't know Eskimo was a slur. I should probably consider curbing how much I say Eskimo from now on. Thank you for policing my speech, bro. I would never have known that Eskimo would upset Eskimos so much when spoken by someone who isn't Eskimo. Then again, maybe Eskimos are upset when anyone says Eskimo, whether they are non-Eskimos or Eskimos, it's hard to say since you failed to explain the who can actually say Eskimo. Just to be safe, I vow I will never say Eskimo again in this reply.
The producers of ANOTHER MST3K gem, "The Incredible Melting Man" (MST3K 704) wanted the Eskimo for a REALLY COOL role but they couldn't find him. Seemed like he melted away.
("the "e-word" a slur..."). Well, BOOhoo! Put some ice on it, honey, then call someone that cares. GEEEEEEEEEZ: libturds are ALWAYS in there to stop ANYBODY from even having a damn smile! -----My friend Chilly Willy won't speak to you. That's what HE thinks of that jazz about "the e-word". Here's an e-word for ya: EXIT. If you don't like something, take your Virtue elsewhere. Which is ANOTHER "e-word'. Don't snow on other people's parade. Mush!!!
The stories are told with their traditional stainless steel ceremonial masks, riveted with farm to table reservation handcrafted titanium and reinforced aluminium alloy.
I live in Albuquerque, and this episode certainly resonates with me in a certain way. The amount of mountain detail he went into about the stew is perfect
So, these idiots pull a moronic "prank" on Shirtless Guy, then spend the next few minutes explaining to Shirtless Guy the motive, setup, execution, and aftermath of the not-prank in every possible leave-no-stone-unturned detail. Man, that's a head scratcher...
They also say "I'm afraid," as filler to the dialogue about 10 fucking times in that scene. It's mind boggling that anyone in the 70s could've been high enough to think that was okay.
One of my favorite moments in this movie is when the young graduate student -- who's been _spending time in the desert with her professor_ -- is startled and baffled by the sight of a lizard darting across the ground (12:42). I wonder if they cut out the scene where she asks what the stuff under her feet is -- "It's kind of like dirt, only it's really gritty."
When Kathy says "I borrowed Bud's car," and Mike says "Well found out who Bud is and return it." ...Bud was one of the pullers of the ineffectual prank at the beginning. The bird call guy. "Butt Healer." (That's why I don't tell elderly people my first name - they usually can't hear and think I'm saying Butt.) ...what? As a guy named Bud, I'm on top of these things! Like the joke during the opening credits of "Outlaw of Gor"...that one hurt. =(
Yep, I caught that, too. But I still think Butt and Bud were two different people in the movie. LOL i'm just glad that this is one of the very VERY few "Now what?" movies that I enjoy (a movie that ends with me saying "Now what?" and usually feeling unfulfilled. LOL ). Sorry for all those Bud/Butt jokes that strike hard! *hugs comfortingly*
I have to say that the chick who locks her drunk husband outside at 31:20- HER scene, her part, was by far the only one that contained any believable acting. XD
You know, Analogkid01, you've helped me go to sleep for at least 6 years or so by providing my Mike MST3K episodes and I had avoided subscribing or commenting thinking the video would be taken down if I drew attention to it.

I remember camping out overnight to be the first in line to get tickets to see The Band That Played California Lady only to discover, when the ticket office opened, that it was the band that played California Girls instead. What a bummer.
Did you get a refund? I'd be totally pissed if I ended up seeing the Beach Boys instead of the Band that Played California Lady.
I have an idea for a movie...Paul the Moon Beast vs Paul the Warwelf.
Moon Beats*
+jrny20 vs that it lives by night guy
What's funny is that they both have girlfriends that can't act for shit.
Make it a three-way with Paul from the Projected Man. Though to be able to afford that much star power we'll surely need a grant from Lembeck!
Moonbeast would win he has the power of corn, chicken, green peppers, onions...
@5:38 "Man...the producer got the hell assisted out of him!"
I always liked how Kathy just sort of makes herself his girlfriend.
He does have all kinds of antiseptic in his medicine cabinet at his place.
Yes, she basically does that from the moment they meet. 🤣 It’s a strategy I guess. It seemed to work out for her. Well, until he turned into a lizard and died anyway.
Hylian Fox Kathy gives desperation that’s Laverne and Shirleyesque about her need for Paul
@@HueyRocks23 dozens no, HUNDREDS of antiseptics!
@@BlackAdam1231 this sentences makes my teeth hurt.
I know it's kinda frowned upon by some Misties if your favorite episode is from this late in the series, but...this is my favorite episode. Put that stew in your bowl and sip on it.
Not frowned upon by me! I loved MST3K since the Joel days, and season 10 is the strongest by far in my opinion. I don't care for the newer ones with Jonah though.
What's in the stew?
@@troubadour723 Onions.....
We are not collectively called “Misties” 🎬🤦♀️
Honestly the Pearl seasons are my favourite, I find her trio with Bobo and Brain Guy infinitely more interesting that Dr Forrester, Earhart and TV’s Frank
"Mike, Crow, snack"
Perfect!
This movie is like Werewolf, Night of the Blood Beast & The Incredible Melting Man all rolled into one.
17:06 It's that tissue I just threw. Hi, tissue!
I thought the choppy editing in the violent scenes was because MST3K toned down the violence by cutting a few moments of gore, but no. I found the original without the jokes, and it really is that choppy!
This movie is like it was assembled from all the unimportant unused footage from another film. The skit with crow apologizing for getting a bigger reaction than he bargained for is awesome.
She reacts more viscerally to him casually saying “moon rock” than she does by being bowled over by said flaming rock falling from the sky and hitting them. Also a rock that big would have left a crater and/or killed the guy instead of simply giving him a minor scratch on his head...
And when he tells her the lizards name, she says "Ty!" With such disgust it's like she's going to barf!
I learned "California Lady" for my solo acoustic show... no one has gotten the joke yet!!!!
@Mikey Meatball - "You Castleton snob!"
I find the best jokes in life are the ones that only I laugh at
I gave up learning the bass line, too complicated.
it would have gone over my head, to be honest. this is my first time seeing this episode.
Are you married? 😻
28:38
Mike “He sure gave that lizard a lot of head room”.
Crow “Maybe he has a trampoline in there”.
I’ll never get that hilarious image out of my head.
Its actually nice as too often reptiles arent given enough space in livi ng quarters
Johnny Longbow is one of my favorite characters in an MST3K movie!
About the only ones better than him are Torgo, Dave Ryder (Aka the man of a hundred manly nicknames), and an ensemble award for everyone in 'The Final Sacrifice' (Yeah, Rowsdower sticks out as the crowd favorite in that film, but every other character in it got a lot off laughs, too)!
I love how dramatically he delivers all his lines
"A lizard... that walked... LIKE A MAN!"
I agree!! Hahaha Although the midget from Outlaw of Gor also makes my list, as well as the crotchety shopkeeper from Brute Man 😂😂👌🏻👌🏻 so many good characters ah!!
Now I'm wondering iF there are any characters that don't create some sort of bot-tension.
Zap Rowsdower is the Canadian Chuck Norris.
The two leads are like aliens acting out a "Human Mating Scenario".
Brilliant way of putting it. It's so strange the way they act, and I've seen characters fall in 'love' with no chemistry, but these two have negative chemistry.
Where the hell do these people live that there’s a full moon six times a month?
@Lookaway GRstay Must be the same place where Paul from "Werewolf" lives :P

Best line. "Let's celebrate by littering!"

Wrong
"Seth Thomas, the best actor in this film."
For those, um, curious: the fish-lip guy who sings California Lady, Frank Larrabee, now works for the Appaloosa Horse Club on the Board of Directors in Corrales, NM, according to IMDb. No idea what happened to the Eskimo or the backup singer, though.
I bet he just LOOOOVES being asked about this movie. Assuming anyone ever does.
The "e" word is considered a slur, BTW.
@@AhNee "E" word? You mean Eskimo? I didn't know Eskimo was a slur. I should probably consider curbing how much I say Eskimo from now on. Thank you for policing my speech, bro. I would never have known that Eskimo would upset Eskimos so much when spoken by someone who isn't Eskimo. Then again, maybe Eskimos are upset when anyone says Eskimo, whether they are non-Eskimos or Eskimos, it's hard to say since you failed to explain the who can actually say Eskimo. Just to be safe, I vow I will never say Eskimo again in this reply.
The producers of ANOTHER MST3K gem, "The Incredible Melting Man" (MST3K 704) wanted the Eskimo for a REALLY COOL role but they couldn't find him. Seemed like he melted away.
("the "e-word" a slur..."). Well, BOOhoo! Put some ice on it, honey, then call someone that cares. GEEEEEEEEEZ: libturds are ALWAYS in there to stop ANYBODY from even having a damn smile!
-----My friend Chilly Willy won't speak to you. That's what HE thinks of that jazz about "the e-word". Here's an e-word for ya: EXIT. If you don't like something, take your Virtue elsewhere. Which is ANOTHER "e-word'. Don't snow on other people's parade. Mush!!!
The native tribes in the area have a legend about how good this episode is.
The stories are told with their traditional stainless steel ceremonial masks, riveted with farm to table reservation handcrafted titanium and reinforced aluminium alloy.
So they called it maize.
I live in Albuquerque, and this episode certainly resonates with me in a certain way. The amount of mountain detail he went into about the stew is perfect
I believe the Navajo translation of the film title means Movie That Makes You Poke Out Your Eyes With Stick.
corn, chicken, chili, green peppers.....hhhhunions
Don't take my face grease! 31:28
"Dick Ashe" sounds like something Sean Connery would yell out in traffic.
I've seen this about 50 times since it came out and every time Crow says "Man the producer got the hell assisted out of him" I still bust a gut
So, these idiots pull a moronic "prank" on Shirtless Guy, then spend the next few minutes explaining to Shirtless Guy the motive, setup, execution, and aftermath of the not-prank in every possible leave-no-stone-unturned detail. Man, that's a head scratcher...
SHIRTLESS GUY IS NOT SHIRTLESS GUY ANYMORE
It is, however, the perfect kind of scene for MST3K riffing.
They also say "I'm afraid," as filler to the dialogue about 10 fucking times in that scene. It's mind boggling that anyone in the 70s could've been high enough to think that was okay.
^ They were truthfully afraid because the director held them hostage to prevent them from breaking contract and leaving the set.
One of my favorite moments in this movie is when the young graduate student -- who's been _spending time in the desert with her professor_ -- is startled and baffled by the sight of a lizard darting across the ground (12:42). I wonder if they cut out the scene where she asks what the stuff under her feet is -- "It's kind of like dirt, only it's really gritty."
When Kathy says "I borrowed Bud's car," and Mike says "Well found out who Bud is and return it." ...Bud was one of the pullers of the ineffectual prank at the beginning. The bird call guy. "Butt Healer." (That's why I don't tell elderly people my first name - they usually can't hear and think I'm saying Butt.)
...what? As a guy named Bud, I'm on top of these things! Like the joke during the opening credits of "Outlaw of Gor"...that one hurt. =(
Yep, I caught that, too. But I still think Butt and Bud were two different people in the movie. LOL i'm just glad that this is one of the very VERY few "Now what?" movies that I enjoy (a movie that ends with me saying "Now what?" and usually feeling unfulfilled. LOL ). Sorry for all those Bud/Butt jokes that strike hard! *hugs comfortingly*
If Paul calls me in the middle of the night...., I'll roll over and say "what?"
I have to say that the chick who locks her drunk husband outside at 31:20- HER scene, her part, was by far the only one that contained any believable acting. XD
You know, Analogkid01, you've helped me go to sleep for at least 6 years or so by providing my Mike MST3K episodes and I had avoided subscribing or commenting thinking the video would be taken down if I drew attention to it.
