The second half of the Scott McGee’s Turner Classic Movies interview with Joel is up. (Thanks to Ken for the heads up.)
Also, Joel now has a Twitter account, @JoelGHodgson. It appears to be conntected to his new Pinterest account. The Starz network has launched a YouTube comedy channel that will include a series, “Captain Cornelius Cartoon’s Cartoon Lagoon,” in which animated characters sit in a theater and watch/comment on cartoons.
Take a look. This isn’t the first time the concept has been appropriated and I doubt it will be the last. UPDATE: J. Patrick Ohlde at TheBuzzMedia.com also interviews Trace, Mary Jo and Josh.
Matt Mueller of OnMilwaukee.com interviews Mary Jo, Trace and Josh. Also, The Milwaukee office of the AV Club has a nice little interview that breaks some news about upcoming projects for the team.

And, a little piece about my show on Thursday. Rob Weiner at the Texas Tech University Library, the guy gave us “In the Peanut Gallery with Mystery Science Theater 3000: Essays on Film, Fandom, Technology and the Culture of Riffing“, a collection of scholarly papers about our favorite cowtown puppet show, is at it again.
He is now calling for presentations/papers for the upcoming conference of the Southwest/American Popular Culture and American Culture Association, Feb. 19-22, 2014, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and Conference Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The conference theme this year is: Popular and American Culture Studies: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow. Abstracts for papers/presentations on the topic “Mystery Science Theater and the Culture of Riffing” are due on Nov. 1. Rob also supplied a handy list of topics that might be written about. They include: “Fan Culture and MST: The Misties (who are they and why)?,” “Gender roles, women and MST,” and “The rise of B-movie popularity as a result of being on MST.” (The full list, and full instructions on submitting, is here.) So, this is where you get to help wannabe scholars: What topic do YOU think should be covered at the conference? |
