Update: Cinematic Titanic Pre-Show Press

A new season of live Cinematic Titanic shows begins this weekend in Minneapolis, and the pre-show press there has begun.

Joel and Trace were interviewed by “The AV Club” and Joel was interviewed by City Pages.

Joel and Mary Jo got interviewed for a piece in the University of Minnesota student newspaper.

CBS Minnesota does a nice long story and a two-part video interview with the entire cast!

UPDATE: The local Fox affiliate has a short text piece and a pretty good video piece. And there is a short little piece in the Strib suggesting you buy Christmas gifts for your MSTie pals at the meet-and-greet after the show, which is in the restaurant next door.

“Gateways to Geekery”

The AV Club has a nice rundown on the show and which episode are most accessible to new comers. I mostly agree with their assessments.
