Bonus Episode - Manos: The Hands of Fate (Interview with Jackey Neyman Jones)
Manos: The Hands of Fate is known as one of the worst films ever made. This 1966 film has been parodied on Mystery Science Theater 3000 and also has a featured audio commentary by RiffTrax. Not A Bomb had the pleasure of talking to one of the last surviving actors, Jackey Neyman Jones. She is the actress known for playing the role of Debbie in Manos: The Hands of Fate as well as the author of Growing Up with Manos the Hands of Fate.
Jackey has worked tirelessly to keep the legacy of Manos alive. During our interview she talks how a bet with a famous Hollywood writer turned into a movie, the disastrous world premiere of the film, how the film was rediscovered by the MST3K community, and reconnecting with her father. The stories surrounding this cult classic film are even more crazy than Torgo’s onscreen antics!
