Brandy, you’re a fine reviewer, what a good essayist you would be.
Short, to the point, no extra quibble.
Even though Joel pooh-poohs (like that word :>) any chance of a CT/RiffTrax get together, he hasn’t ruled out any “MST3K” reunion show (although he hints that seeing all together might be more disappointing than the expectations — hey, that’s a true possibility of almost any creative project you undertake and he should be man enough to chance it).
I still think a silver anniversary reunion would be perfect. They need to at least start thinking about it now — even if it takes a year or two to accomplish (and even if it’s only a one-off deal) I think it would be the ultimate gift to all of us who’ve been fans for so long. The bots, Joel and Mike — can’t you pass that along to them, Sampo?
This is completely off-topic, but I just got my 20th Anniversary box yesterday and I’ve been so excited I have to share it with SOMEone! :mrgreen:
Yeehaw, best Halloween ever!
Ok, thanks, we now return you to your regularly scheduled programming. :wink:
The answer regarding the therapeutic qualities of MST3k was kind of enlightening.
I don’t see Joel being comfortable about doing a rifftrax as he alluded to in his answer about performing for an audience-though I wouldn’t mind seeing (or hearing)some guest or cameo appearances (or voices)in either’s project. I know Mary Beth has done a rifftrax.
Now that I’ve taken the time to read the interview w/Brandy…I’m quite impressed with her! I hate interviews that are all pre-written questions, with no indication that the interview has actually listened to the answers. This one sounds like a conversation with real information in it.
And I’m so happy Joel’s happy about revisiting MST3K. I wish I could send all the MST3K alumni a big “THANK YOU” for all the fun and laughter. I guess by buying the set, I sent them a little “thank you.”
So Joel moved to Pennsylvania. Seems appopriately random. Avoid the rioting fans, Joel!
He’s doing lots of interviews these days. He’s everywhere, he’s everywhere!! :grin:
Happy Halloween, everyone! :twisted:
Yeah, Trace mentioned Joel was on the East Coast now in that podcast recently. I assumed he meant NY. Who would have thought Hollywood Joel would move at all? He seems happy though.
I am one of those people who watched a lot of MST3K through a horrible depression and partially credit it with my recovery. I still think I’m a TOTAL WEIRDO for this, but it’s amazing to hear straight from Joel that I’m not the only one!!! Wow!!!
