Not too much new here for anybody who has been following the “possible reboot” story, but some interesting details.

Alex Biese at the Asbury Park Press (who likes to write about MST3K-related news) interviews Joel ahead of his appearance in suburban Philadelphia this weekend.
Upcoming appearances by Joel include:
September 27, RetroCon at The Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pa. Joel signs autographs, and does a Q and A October 18, Tide Water Comicon, Virginia Beach, Va. – Joel signs autographs, does a Q and A and performs “Riffing Myself.” October 24-26, Chiller Theater Expo Parsippany, N.J. – Joel signs autographs, does a Q and A and performs “Riffing Myself.” Two things that might have escaped your notice:
1. Hold on to your hat for this one. Trace and Joel, along with Firesign Theatre’s Phil Proctor and former-co-host-of-“Mr. Show”-turned-major-TV-star Bob Odenkirk, provided voice talents for an overdub of something called “A Belly Full of Anger,” which has to be seen to be believed. This apparently was done some time ago, but I just stumbled onto a mention of it on Twitter yesterday, so I may be the last to know about this. Here’s a trailer, which definitely captures the flavor. The voice work is awesome. The movie … well, I think I’ll just say that I think it’s over my head. You can rent or buy the thing at Amazon Instant here. 2. And, coming Jan. 31, “The Comic Galaxy of Mystery Science Theater 3000: Twelve Classic Episodes and the Movies They Lampoon” by Chris Morgan. For what it’s worth. Direct from DragonCon, our pal Ken Plume moderates a panel with Joel, Frank and Trace called “Reel Crime.”
 TORONTO–Actor and playwright Linda Griffiths died Sept. 21, at the Bridgeport Health Center here, after a battle with breast cancer. She said she was 57, but those close to her says she was actually 60. MSTies will remember her performance as Appollonia James in the movie in episode 822- OVERDRAWN AT THE MEMORY BANK.
The Globe and Mail has an obit. Thanks to Jon for the heads up. |
