MST3K Article in Screem Magazine

Screem_27A_cover

Screem Magazine issue 27 celebrates 25 years of MST3K with a cover article co-written and produced by our pal Daniel Griffith at Ballyhoo Motion Pictures. The issue features interviews with Joel Hodgson and ten directors whose films were parodied on the program. Issue 27 streets in stores on Nov. 6th, but is now available for purchase at screemag.com.

Odds and Ends

Just a couple of miscellaneous items that don’t belong anywhere:

“Lesley” at XOJane.com has a nice long piece about what MST3K has meant to her life, and how she reacted to meeting her idols recently.

RiffTrax writer Conor Lastowka has written a book called “Gone Whalin’.” I will not even begin to try to explain the premise but I can’t wait to read it. And when Conor needed a good voice for his Youtube promo video, the choice was clear:

We’re Back (We Think)…So, How Were the Shows?

The site has been down all weekend, but we’re back (maybe). (You can still contribute to the Weekend Discussion Thread, by the way.)

While we were gone, Cinematic Titanic did three shows in New England.

Nick A. Zaino III at The Boston Globe had a story on Saturday — and if you can figure out a way to get past their paywall, it’s here.

This is an open thread for reports from this weekend’s shows.

Weekend Discussion Thread: MSTed Movies that Maybe Are a Little TOO Good

As I said in this week’s episode guide, “The Projected Man,” while no “Citizen Kane,” might almost have been TOO good for MST3K. I think they got a little excited about Bryant Haliday being in the movie and didn’t think much further.

So is there there a MSTed movie you think might be a little too good? What do you think got the Brains thinking it was good fodder?
