UPDATE: Next from Cinematic Titanic…

The email list for CT got a message last night offering a sneak peek of the next release. We are going to honor the spirit of that message and not provide any details until a general announcement is made next week…

…but WIRED doesn’t have the scruples we do.

UPDATE: Of course, it’s already up on YouTube and we’ve been given permission to post it:

Satellite News on Blonde Champagne Radio

Bill Corbett, Sampo and I were guests on Blonde Champagne Radio on Tuesday, May 20. The live call-in show was hosted by Mary Beth Ellis, author and msnbc.com contributor, who has written several MST3K-related articles over the past few years.

And before anyone writes to correct me on a comment I made during the show, I know a clip of “Schindler’s List” was never riffed by the MST3K crew. It was “Saving Private Ryan” I was thinking of.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Favorite Season 10 Host Segments

Well, sorry for the delay. I got called away suddenly. All is well now.

Again, I got my list down to seven:

• 1001- SOULTAKER: Joel’s completes repairs on the SOL, says hi to Frank, and departs with some uplifting words to M&TB; in Castle Forrester, Bobo and Frank hit it off.– Mike and Joel, together at last, the combination is terrific. A landmark segment.
• 1005- BLOOD WATERS OF DR. Z: Mike becomes wedged in the bulkhead of Crow’s evil voiceover.–One of those segments that just comes from the pain of the movie. Hilarious.
• 1007- TRACK OF THE MOON BEAST: This week on Legends of Rock: The Band That Played “California Lady.”–Tbe Brains parody shows like “Behind the Music” and do a great job.
• 1008- FINAL JUSTICE: Having suffered through a really bad Joe Don Baker movie, Mike assumes it’s his turn to escape.–A great call back from five seasons before.
• 1009- HAMLET: Time once again to play “Alas Poor Who?”–In an episode disliked by many, a memorably witty segment.
• 1011- HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND: Mike is auditioning dancers, and Pearl, Brain Guy and Bobo try out.–Mary Jo is particularly funny in this great send up of a particular stupid moment in the movie.
• 1013- DIABOLIK: Mike, Crow and Servo, sharing a small apartment, settle in to watch a bad movie–our fond farewell. A very satisfying end.

Charles Pierce Retrospective?

A retrospective of Pierce’s work is taking place at the –where else?– Arkansas Film Festival going on this weekend, which includes a screening of “The Legend of Boggy Creek” Sunday night.
