Update: Bill on a Podcast, also on Stage (with more dates)

Bill is a guest on the “Verse Chaos Verse” podcast. His interview starts at about the 5:00 mark.

And by the way, Bill will join John Hodgman…

Thursday, Oct. 3, for Hodgman’s show at the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis..

Friday, Oct. 4, for Hodgman’s show at the Englert Theater in Iowa City, and…

Saturday, Oct. 5, for Hodgman’s show at the Barrymore Theater in Madison, Wis.

Sorry I missed those two earlier dates. I’m Mr. Short Notice this week.

Something New from RiffTrax…

RiffTrax has something new for us, and I’m guessing they’re an outgrowth of the “Talkin’ RiffTrax” videos (like this one, if you haven’t caught any of them). They’re being called “Best of RiffTrax” and they’re essentially a collection excepts from three movies and riffs from Mike, Kevin and Bill.

It appears that some of these will feature movies that will have had full-length riffs — such as “Best of RiffTrax: Villains” — and some will feature movies they have never done — such as “Best of RiffTrax: ’90s Cyber Thrillers.”

Weekend Discussion Thread: What’s in Pearl’s Purse?

Alert regular Susan suggests:

I had the Season Eight theme song running through my head this morning (go figure), and I got to wondering about “… she threw a few things in her purse…”
What DOES Pearl Forrester have in her purse? Besides the inflatable world stress toy, of course. Here’s what I think are down in those dark depths:
— a bright red lipstick (la la la)
— a second lipstick exactly like the first because she forgot she already had it
— a grenade
— peanuts for Bobo
— a Dairy Queen Blizzard punch card that’s one punch away from being full
— old issue of “Better Homes & Castles”
— baby picture of Frank

I’d add: a church key (bottle opener) with the Schlitz logo on it.

What’s your guess?

How Were the Shows?

An open thread for reports on the two Cinematic Titanic shows in Milwaukee this weekend.

Also: Rob Wieland of the AV Club has a review.

Thomas Michalski of ExpressMilwaukee.com has a report.

Rick Katschke of OnMilwaukee.com has a report.

Here’s a piece about the shows from the local NPR, with all five Titans in the studio together.
