Maltin Ends Annual Print Update after 45 Years

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.

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).

Nicki Minaj is a MSTie?

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.

MTV has the story.

Weekend Discussion Thread: The MSTIEbles

Alert reader “Gobi” suggests:

With the release of “Expendables III”, two things occurred to me. First, why isn’t Joe Don Baker in it? Second, there’s a rich, untapped vein of talent available for a new movie to be titled “The MSTIEbles!” OK, the title needs work, but you get the idea. What’s your dream cast of action stars (not characters) drawn from the ranks of MST3K movies? Bonus points for a brief plot description, and double bonus points if all of your choices are still alive, so they’re available to star in next year’s blockbuster hit movie “3000!”

Have at it!

Kevin Featured in a Non-RiffTrax Kickstarter
