Looks like when Joel was recently in Atlanta he got together with the Turner Classic Movies people for a nice long interview. Here’s part 1.
Thanks to Ken for the heads up. Update: Scott Tobias at thedissolve.com offers his take.
Update: Erich Asperschlager at DVDVerdict.com has taken the case. Ian Jane at rockshockpop.com reviews Shout’s “MST3K: The Movie” release. Also, our pal Bruce Westbrook has a review. I’m going to springboard off an email I got from alert reader Timmy who, in suggesting a slightly different topic (that we’ve already done), recalled his family viewings:
That made me think back fondly to my mom (who passed away this week at the age of 87). Every Sunday afternoon for years we would watch a different episode — we got through all 10 seasons, and many of the comments that are in the episode guide originated as notes I took during those viewings. She loved the show and loved to hear her laugh uproariously at it. What is your most pleasant memory of watching MST3K? Various lowlifes are constantly looking for large amounts of unguarded metal to take to scrap dealers to get cash (often to buy drugs). When they happened on the metal frame of the giant spider from “Giant Spider Invasion,” dollar signs probably appeared in their eyes.
And so, farewell, giant spider… Kevin is slated to appear at Salt Lake Comic Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 5-7 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City. He will not be part of any panels, as far as we can tell, but will be signing autographs and posing for photos all three days at the Big Finish Games booth, booth 408. (Big Finish Games is the new company for the “Tex Murphy” series of video games–say, is Kevin related to Tex?)
