Since I know someone is going to ask 'Why is your eblogs called 'Shut Up Iris' I don't get it.' let me say first, no, you don't get it and how about a double serving of 'shut the fuck up' with hot glass of 'none of your business'. That was rude of me, I could just answer your question, and I will so here it is:
There once was a poorly produced film called 'The Beatniks' starring the incomparable Karen Kadler. It was about 'Beatniks' who were at best petty criminals and there was nothing 'Beat' about them except for what their fathers probably did to them before raping them to sleep every night.

This movie was probably destined to be forgotten until one day a pair of plucky young robots and a sweaty, meaty human were forced to watch it aboard a satellite. So I saw it, on MST3K and like all MST3K fans saw over the rest of the MST3K episodes the bots and Joel or Mike would utter the 'Hero' of 'Beatniks' catch phrase 'Shut up Iris!'.

You see Iris and her fifties style black hair,pointy bewbs and round ass stuffed into a tight skirt was the girlfriend of the film's hero 'Tony' ( at least I think it was Tony, or Troy, or Rowsdower...... I can't recall) and every time Iris said anything Tony would supportively utter 'Shut up Iris'. Of course Tony eventually dumps Iris, hooks up with a bug-eyed bleached blond with a negative bewbage and a flat ass after his 'Beatnik' friend goes on a minor stabbing spree precipitated by shooting a fat bar keep during which the catchphrases 'I shot that fat barkeep!' and 'I'm gonna MOON you man!' were also born.

This load of a movie is one of my favorite MST3K episodes (Just after Danger! Death-Ray! and Secret Agent Super Dragon........................maybe.) and add to that my misogyny and 'Shut Up Iris' seemed like the perfect title for my musings. There, aren't you glad you asked?
