Happy Old Year: The Top Posts of 2007

Well, folks, 2007 is drawing to a close. We survived. (Well, if you’re reading this, you probably did. I don’t recall the numbers for my zombie demographic.) It was certainly a good year to be a MSTie, but I’ll talk about that later. And while it was a rough year for me personally, it was [...]

Deep Ape Updates (Apedates?)

Hey, everybody. Can I just tell you how doggone pleased I am with this blog, and all of you who read it? This blog just reached 20,000 hits. That’s huge. Every week, the number of visitors gets bigger. December has been the best month of all time by a lot, and all this comes after [...]

MST3Koexistence

Uh oh. Looks like news of the trash talking is starting to get around.
[NOTE: Remember, folks, this is all in good-natured fun. I seriously doubt that there's any hatred or animosity between, at the very least, the majority of the two camps. Please emulate your heroes and keep any such ribbing civil. Some people may [...]

Rifftrax Wants YOU! …To Riff Batman & Robin

For some time, one of the most frequently requested Rifftraxes has been 1997’s ode to manhandling quality comic book properties, Batman & Robin. Well, it’s finally being turned into a Rifftrax, but there’s a catch: You must first suffer through it sans commentary. That is, if you want Mike, Bill, and Kevin to utter riffs [...]

Brain Blog Round-up: Iceberg Edition

Well, the week of December 17th through the 23rd was quite an interesting week. First of all, Bill Corbett opened himself up to questions from RiffBlog readers, in an extensive, really, really long Q&A session. (I’m in the process of picking the meat off of that thread’s proverbial bones, and I’ll post the transcription this [...]

Merry Christmas from Deep Ape!

I genuinely hope your Christmas was a good one. It was quite a low-key, distracted holiday, for your semi-humble webmaster. Too much on my mind and not enough to take my mind off of it. Except for the beer, of course. That helped. I wasn’t really able to MST-out this year, [...]

Christmas Eve: Brass Monkeys, Frank. Brass Monkeys.

Here we are. It’s Christmas Eve, and what have we done? Well, at this point, we’ve probably already started gaining weight, getting drunk, and/or greedily lusting for the waiting gifts that lurk in our dark, musty closets. It’s at these times when we’re quickest to forget the meaning behind the current incarnation of what we [...]

Bill Corbett: “The Line Must Be Drawn HERE!”

Some things are just too good to leave until the weekly blog round-up. Bill Corbett has thrown down the gauntlet. And you know what that means, right? Blogging gold. Gold. Yes, we bloggers pray for this sort of news to report. We’re like paparazzi, only we don’t use cameras and we have souls. Let us [...]

Brain Blog Round-up: Sick, Sick, Sick Edition

This round-up is for the week of December 10th through the 16th. What’s that you say? That was almost two weeks ago? Shut up. I’ve been sick, and that’s seriously delayed any blogging. And before that, I was lazy. But here it is.
That week saw the debut of Bill Corbett in the blogging ring, a [...]

Cinematic Titanic Is ON! Like, NOW.

It’s a little late, but better late than never. Cinematic Titanic is GO! If you head over here, you can order your own DVD copy of the first episode of Cinematic Titanic, a little flick now known as The Oozing Skull. (Formerly “Brain of Blood,” Joel explains the name change here.) The cost is a [...]

New Rifftrax On Demand: A Visit To Santa

Well, it looks like the Rifftrax On Demand project is fully up and running. For the measly sum of 99 cents, you can now purchase a holiday treat(?) in the form of a depressing little Christmas short, A Visit To Santa, riffed by Mike, Bill, and Kevin. As with all other Rifftrax On Demand releases, [...]

Rifftrax Live: Round 3

The title is pretty self-explanatory, and I really have nothing witty to say: Mike, Kevin, and Bill are doing the “live” thing again, this time on January 17th at the Castro Theater in San Francisco. They’ll be group-riffing Plan 9 From Outer Space for the first time ever, presumably with different riffs than Mike’s original [...]

Next Rifftrax: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Once again plumbing the rich depths of the superhero genre, next week our favorite Rifftraxxing trio will be firing their acid-tipped barbs at the sequel to The Fantastic Four, this year’s Rise of the Silver Surfer. I never saw the film, but I was one of the poor, unfortunate souls who coughed up cold, hard [...]

Rifftrax Puts On Its Shorts

In case you haven’t heard, Rifftrax has gone into the video-on-demand business, for their public domain titles. What this means is that you can either rent or buy these titles in digital format, then burn them to disc or watch them in your DivX player. Well, if you’re curious as to what all the confounded [...]

Brain Blog Round-up: Short, Late Edition

You know, I wasn’t going to do a Brain Blog Round-up for the week of December 3rd-9th, simply because two posts do not make for a worthwhile update. However, this week is turning out to be a bountiful blogging blitz, so I’ve decided to do a round-up of last week after all, lest these two [...]
