MSTies: A Call To Action

If you’re the least bit put-out by yesterday’s news about Rhino double-dipping MST3K fans once again, then I’d like to strongly encourage you to write to Rhino and tell them about your rage. According to Rhino’s cut-and-paste response to fans, there are no current plans for a single-disc release. Tell them (preferably in a civil [...]

Bill Corbett Can’t Escape The Internet’s Watchful Eye

Prior to the below news about the rebirth of the official Rifftrax blog, I saw the above sight in my inbox, courtesy of Google Alerts. It seems that we might be seeing some hot blogging action from more Brains than just Mike – namely, Mr. Bill Corbett. If you go to the RiffBlog now, you [...]

Mike Nelson Blogs Around

As you may know, Michael J. Nelson has a MySpace profile, where he intermittently blogs. Well, put that in the past tense – his profile is still there, but he just put up this post, announcing that his blogging efforts will now be found elsewhere. That elsewhere is the ol’ RiffBlog. You can check out [...]

Rhino Hates Mystery Science Theater Fans

In another rousing volley of news that will draw violently-mixed reactions, Satellite News reports that Rhino will be reissuing cancelled MST3K DVD collection Volume 10. As you may recall, Volume 10 originally ran into legal trouble due to the accidentally not-quite-legal inclusion of Godzilla vs. Megalon, forcing the set to be pulled off shelves and [...]

(Late) Happy Thanksgiving from Deep Ape

I realize this is a day late, but that’s what happens when you’re sick and you end up sleeping until 4PM on Thanksgiving, then hurriedly throwing together some also-late news posts, right before bed. But anyway, I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving. I didn’t get to indulge in any Mystery Science Theater viewings, for [...]

Satellite News Likes Me, They Really Like Me

It looks like all my hard work finally paid off. Of course, no hard work actually took place, and I wasn’t really trying to get this to happen, so that first sentence really serves no purpose other than to intro this post, which is really just a masturbatory post in the first place. What were [...]

Happy Thanksgiving from MST3K.com

The world’s sexiest editor, MST3K’s own Brad Keely, stopped by BBI headquarters (where Jim Mallon keeps all his laser attack sharks) to put together a short video presentation for Thanksgiving, now up at MST3K.com. It’s a collection of old “Turkey Day” skits from MST’s Comedy Central days. It’s actually really great, and easily the best [...]

Next Rifftrax: Harry Potter and The Sorceror’s Stone

A while ago, I pointed out a tidbit that suggested that we would be seeing a Harry Potter Rifftrax in the near future. It took a little bit longer than I’d anticipated, but that rumor has come true. The next Rifftrax will be the first Potter film. If you hate the Potter series as much [...]

Happy Thanksgiving from Cinematic Titanic

As a special treat from the Cinematic Titanic crew, Joel has updated the site with… uh, a recipe for cranberry relish. Yeah, so, uh… Yeah. There’s also a nice (but too small) photo of the SoCal Brains riffing a movie via satellite with Minnesotan Trace and Texan Mary Jo. My, I guess riffing truly has [...]

Slashdot Wants You To Interview Joel For Them

Sorry, guys. I’ve been on my “death bed” all week with my first killer cold of the season. Still, here’s some news from the Joel camp that I need to mention.
Nerd haven Slashdot has managed to set up an interview with Joel Hodgson, and they want their readers to ask the questions. If you’re interested [...]

Cinematic Titanic Formats Revealed

After much speculation (at least, I’m speculating that there was much speculation; I wasn’t really paying attention), Joel has finally shed some light on in what form you will be ingesting his Cinematic Titanic. His latest site update states that there will be no fewer than four different ways to get your riff fix. From [...]

Josh Weinstein Interview Is Live

The interview with J. Elvis Weinstein that Joel promised us is now linked from the Cinematic Titanic website. You can catch it here. It’s nice to finally hear from Josh. I generally feel like I don’t even know the man, despite the fact that he’s one of the show’s founding fathers. Get to know the [...]

MST3K Store Updates, Becomes Less Depressing

The official MST3K.com store updated recently, and- Wait, no, come back! This isn’t another mouse pad with Crow’s disjointed cartoon mug splashed all over it. This is good merchandise – old merchandise. If you’re like me and didn’t get a crack at that “Deep 13″ tee, you can stop weeping those bitter tears, for it [...]

MSNBC Enters The M(i)STs

MSNBC recently put up an article, dealing with the sudden influx of MST “spin-offs” and the like. It’s a fairly standard read, and there’s not much information in there that an eight-year-old MSTie snorting Pixy Stix like it was crack couldn’t tell you. There is, however, some (very) brief commentary from Mr. Mike Nelson on [...]

New Pictures of Trace Beaulieu’s Face

If you’re like me, you like Trace Beaulieu. You like hearing about him, you like his work on Mystery Science Theater, and you just generally enjoy looking at new pictures of the man, in an entirely heterosexual manner. MSTie Poe33 is currently working on the independent movie Triptosane, in which Trace provides the voice for [...]
