If you enjoyed our buddy Ken Plume’s chat with Trace last week, you’ll probably also enjoy his followup with Josh “J. Elvis” Weinstein.
The staff at Shout Factory tells us they have discovered a stash of the thought-to-be-out-of-print of the “MST3K 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition” (complete with tins) and have thrown them up for sale. Get ’em while you can.
Okay, I guess I have to start by explaining who Paul & Storm are, for those who don’t know. The are a comedy music duo, who often perform with Jonathan Coulton (who some will remember sang a couple of songs at the RiffTrax Live show in October). RiffTrax fans will also recall that Jonathan and Paul and Storm did a “RiffTrax Presents” for the movie “Tron.” So anyway, it was Paul’s birthday the other day, and for his gift Storm assembled a video featuring a number of tributes to Paul. You’ll see our old pal Ken Plume in the beginning, and as you go on you’ll see a funny little segment by Bill Corbett. But finishing up the video is an uproarious number by everybody’s favorite a capella singing group, The United Servo Academy Men’s Chorus, aka Kevin Murphy. You can watch it here, and you should, even if you’ve never heard of Paul (and you should).
