Corman-Shout Agreement: Cross Your Fingers

Some folks may have seen this story and wanted to celebrate the possibilty of more Corman episodes coming the DVD. Our sources at Shout! Factory advise you to keep the champagne on ice for now, and cross your fingers. Of course, we are told, the issue of MST3K episodes featuring Corman movies came up, but so far Corman’s people have not been interested. But the hope is that, as the relationship matures, Roger might change his mind. Here’s hoping.

Crow as Jay

Updated: Turn Your Crank To Frank

Frank will be was a guest on WFMU-FM’s “Night People” radio program last Wednesday night at 2:30 AM Eastern/11:30 PM Pacific. But if you’re like me, not even an appearance by Frank is enough to keep you up past your bedtime. Luckily, WFMU has archived the show for our delayed listening pleasure. The show should also be available on iTunes shortly, but as of this writing it hadn’t yet been posted.
