Posted by Sampo, on February 11th, 2014 One of the fundamental tenets of this site is: as fascinated as we — and our readers — are by every detail of the cast members’ doings, we also believe they deserve a private life. We do our best to avoid reporting any personal info about the cast members here, unless they volunteer it.
So, when Josh missed several Cinematic Titanic shows last year, and fans were told only that it was due to illness, we left it at that.
But recently Josh revealed what happened in a series of tweets:
1 month ago today, I had a kidney removed due to cancer. Now I don’t have cancer and I’ve been doing stand-up all week. #feelinglucky
The cancer was discovered when I had a CT scan of my colon and my kidney photo-bombed it. #feelinglucky
I have hesitated to be public about it, but I felt like people should get to hear a happy cancer story once in a while.
Thanks to everyone for your warm and caring wishes. It feels better than my cynical ass would have anticipated.
We have no doubt that we speak for all of our readers in expressing our delight that Josh has made a full recovery and in wishing him all the best.
Posted by Sampo, on February 8th, 2014 With Valentine’s Day coming up, alert regular Kenneth has a timely suggestion:
ROMANCES IN MSTed MOVIES: A great many MSTed movies feature a romance of some sort, even if it’s sometimes awkwardly shoehorned in. Which of them strike you as being “true” romances, with a definite connection between the characters. And, conversely, which ones strike you as being just plain unbelievable and only there because the script says so?
