By the way, somehow we missed the debut of a new — and, I think, particularly hilarious — short on Wednesday: Back to School with Joan Miller. Enjoy!

The Washington Post’s Express Night Out reviews Best of RiffTrax Shorts, Vol. 2
Check out the short film “Hobgoblins Revisited,” starring Rick Sloane himself and he revisits many of the locations from the original movie. Check it out here (scroll down a little).
Update: The video is now on youtube. Also: Meet the cast of “Hobgoblins” at the San Diego Comic-Con Sunday, July 26th at 3 p.m. In attendance will be Kelley Palmer (Daphne), swimsuit and lingerie model Chanel Ryan (Fantazia from “Hobgoblins 2”), and writer/director Rick Sloane, plus an actual Hobgoblin puppet. 
It’s not strictly MST-related, but a new CD titled “Invasion USA” has just been released by the alternative/punk band The Riverdales. In addition to the CD itself, 12 of the 14 tracks have MSTed movie titles for names. You can hear samples over on Amazon. Having discussed the dark and dreary “Brute Man” this week, I thought we’d find out what you think is the drabbest, dreariest movie MST3K ever riffed.
My pick: “Radar Secret Service” — a gray movie full of identical men in identical gray suits and hats getting in and out of identical gray cars (except for the one with the giant metal volleyball on top, of course). Sid Melton lightens things up a little, but not enough to save it. Runner up: “The Undead.” When Digger Smolken is the liveliest character in the movie, you know it’s bad. What’s your pick? New addition to the Friday night schedule:
