Maltin and his guide were mentioned several times on MST3K, most notably a closing credits conversation in episode 706- LASERBLAST. Of course, Maltin himself appeared on the show — and held up a copy of the book — in episode 909- GORGO (and also appeared in a DVD extra when that episode came to DVD).

Pete Hammond at deadline.com reports that the 2015 edition of Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide, due out in a couple of weeks, will be the final print version update.
He will do a meet & greet Saturday, Aug. 23. More info here.
In a true testament to the staying power of our favorite cowtown puppet show, guess what visual pops up in Nicki Minaj’s new video “Anaconda” (it’s apparently completely coincidental that RiffTrax live will be riffing a movie by that name in October). Oh, the video is soooo NSFW (“not safe for work,” because when I put in a NSFW notation, somebody invariably asks what it means) and parental guidance is suggested for young viewers.
Alert reader “Gobi” suggests:
Have at it! We’ve mentioned our pal Scott Bateman several times in the past. Now he’s started a Kickstarter campaign to get his “funny fake documentary” You, Your Brain, & You, which features a small part by Kevin Murphy, completed. Take a look at the trailer and decide if you’d like to help.
