The good news: The guys have rerecorded the “Anaconda” riffs for those who may have missed the live version.
The bad news: You have to watch “Anaconda” to enjoy it.

As several of you have written to tell me, in this week’s episode of the CBS drama “Elementary,” a witness/suspect tried to throw investigators off the trail by giving a description of the killer he claimed to have seen that basically was a description of Torgo in “Manos: The Hands of Fate.” The guy turns out to be a B-movie fan. They actually mentioned the name of the movie and John Reynolds.
So, a thought experiment: What character from a MSTed movie would you insert into TV show? Me, I like the idea of a special episode of “Breaking Bad” in which an L.A. detective named Mitchell flies into town on the trail of blue meth. Walter leaves a honey-baked ham in his hotel room and he’s no further problem. What’s your pick? Keep those discussion thread ideas coming! As you know, four slightly edited episodes were recently made available to Public TV stations. The first confirmed PBS Station to show MST3K is, unsurprisingly, TPT, Twin Cities Public Television. More info here. Joel will appear at WizardWorld in Raleigh, N.C. this weekend. More info here.
Joel will appear March 20-22 at HorrorHound Weekend Chiller at the Sharonville Convention Center, Cincinnati, Ohio. More info here. Joel will also be part of Nerds and Music: A Night with Joel Hodgson, Pat Rothfuss, and Paul & Storm Friday, March 27, at 8 p.m. at the The Showbox, 1426 1st Ave. in Seattle, Wash. Meanwhile, RiffTrax will do a show at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York, riffing “The Room.” We are seeing April 17 in some reports, but the festival schedule is not complete yet so we don’t know where, or what time. Stay tuned. And tickets are now on sale for all four of this year’s RiffTrax Live shows. Trace and Frank will be at the American Atheists conference in Memphis April 2-5. Frank and Trace will be riffing on the movie “God’s Not Dead” starring Kevin Sorbo. On TV, Paul Fieg’s new series “Other Space,” featuring Joel and Trace, will hit Yahoo! on April 14. All the episodes will be available at once, so a binge-watch is definitely in order. Oh, and I forgot this one: Trace is set to appear Sunday, April 12, at the Irish American Heritage Center, 4626 N. Knox Ave. in Chicago, for the 45th anniversary celebration of the radio show “Those Were the Days.” More info here. |
