During this week’s episode guide discussion there were a lot of folks who expressed admiration and sadness for Lon Cheney Jr., lamenting how far he had fallen from his Wolfman days.
So let’s open this topic up. Which actor or actress in a MSTed movie do you genuinely admire for the good work they did, even though they also did a MSTed movie? My pick is easy: George Reeves, who created one of the most iconic TV characters of all time. Your pick? Bill and Kevin will once again be a part of the SF SketchFest comedy festival in San Francisco.
They will kick off the festival Thursday, Jan. 19, with “RiffTrax Presents: Night of the Shorts III: The Search for Schlock” along with guest riffers David Cross, John Hodgman, Bruce McCulloch, Paul F. Tompkins, Cole Stratton and Janet Varney. It’s at 8 p.m. at The Castro Theatre and tickets are $30/ The next night. Friday, Jan. 20, there’ll be a performance of CineMadness with Bill and Joseph Scrimshaw, with Kevin as a special guest. It will be 10:30 p.m. at The Eureka Theatre and tickets will be $20. Amazon has cut the price of Vol. XXIII to $37.99. If you want to pre-order, we would appreciate you using this link.
Last week David Pogue’s New York Times technology blog came in dead last among the various news organizations covering the release of the RiffTrax player, and since the column was weeks late and covered no new ground, we let it go by.
However, our old pal Bob Garfield at WNYC’s “On the Media” saw the piece and apparently decided it was as good a reason as any to interview Bill and Kevin, so now I guess we have to mention it. |
