Updated: Gamera Set ‘Under Review’ on Amazon

We’re not sure why, but Amazon has halted sales of the “MST3K vs. Gamera” DVD set and is currently listing it as “under review.” We’re working to find out what the situation is. In the meantime, the set is still available from Shout! Factory at this link.

Update: As some people have guessed, the review notice is due to one or more persons either receiving damaged merchandise or placing some other complaint. Shout! is working to resolve the situation with Amazon.

Update Again: The situation has been resolved and Amazon is once again selling the set at this link.

Podcasts Galore

A Blip.tv show called “Radio Dead Air” interviewed Mike.

I’m not sure what channel this is, or what town the news show is in, but they did a short news item about RiffTrax. And on their web site, they posted a long video interview with Mike. Here it is in two parts.

And on Saturday night, Josh co-hosted an internet radio show called “The Crystal Telephone with Rotary Rachel.” The show is mostly music and an interview with actor/musician Michael Des Barres takes up most of the non-music time, but there’s a bit of Cinematic Titanic talk with Josh. Here’s hour one. Here’s hour two. Here’s hour three.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Dream Guest Riffer

Alert commenter “DiskoJoe” suggests:

What guest riffer would you like to have seen in the theater with Joel/Mike and bots, if it was possible? The two people that come to my mind would be Ernie Kovacs and the early Woody Allen (circa “What’s Up Tiger Lily?”). I think that they could have given the bots a run for their money.

Well, Groucho Marx would be the obvious choice. I’d also love to have any or all of the members of Firesign Theatre in the seats.

Who would you pick?

New Single Shout! Titles

Our pals at the MST3k.com site mention — sort of in passing — that two new single titles are coming from Shout! Factory, episode 908- THE TOUCH OF SATAN and 518- THE ATOMIC BRAIN. And they’re right! They should be available Oct. 16.

Update: Shout officials confirm that “Atomic Brain” will DEFINITELY have a stinger, unlike the Rhino release.
