  1. Johnny's nonchalance says:

    No real explanation in the article about counting KTMA as season 1 when it refers to Manos as the season five finale and Mike replacing Joel in season 6.

    It’s great to see Trace, Mary Jo, Kevin, Bill, Mike and Bridget together in a recent picture. Traces of what’s to come in less than two weeks!

    Two Traces? They cloned him! That movie theater photo showing Trace with the RiffTrax crew made my week. I wonder what it would cost to get my own Trace clone?

    Bill on the old ‘shorts’ …

    “They’re like little archaeological digs into mid-20th-century America, and they are pretty tight-assed.”

    I love that picture.

    It just gives me the best kind of warm fuzzies.

    It’s the pictorial equivalent of a hug from Nummy Nummy Coocoo Butter (minus the shedding).

    I would not be surprised to learn that Kevin sheds like a short-haired dog in the Spring.

    Good article. Great reunion photo.

    However, it’s time for Bill to ditch the Santa beard.

    Well, I thought I knew a thing or two about a thing or two, but I am stymied by the b&w scene with Mike doing maybe a sort of Andy Griffith bit(?) with acoustic guitar while Tom relaxes in a flannel bathrobe and Lumberjack Crow stares hypnotically at a glass of milk.

    Is that from a host segment???

    Probably cloned Trace a long time ago,
    One for Doc Forrester, one to do Crow.

    Aw, I like it! I liked Trace’s, too. Maybe only one Crow can sport a beard at a time?

    The article likens the way Riiftrax audio syncs up with popular movies to the way “kids in the ’70s” linked up Dark Side of the Moon with The Wizard of Oz. I’m pretty sure that was a mid-90s discovery? I’m pretty sure Kurt Loeder passed that information along in an MTV News story.

    Is there audio of this conference call somewhere? Would be nice to listen to the whole thing.

    Have they said anything about the other two shows? Before the end of the Kickstarter, they said they would announce them soon and I can find neither confirmation nor cancellation…

    This is from the kickstarter update last week: A third movie has been selected!

    … but we can’t tell you what it is just yet. You’ve been asking since this Kickstarter campaign ended, and we’ll be revealing the subject of our 3rd live event at the Reunion Show on the 28th. See you there!

    I’m particularly intrigued by the prospect of different combinations of riffers. If we get a Mike & Joel riff, my level of nerding out will be uncharted.

    It’s already on sale in some places. Someone from an MST3K Facebook page discovered the listing on an exhibitor’s website.

    The show’s on Thursday, August 18. Won’t spoil the title, but some sleuthing should do the trick.

    Ah, I found it! Googled “Rifftrax live aug 18 2016” The listing popped right up. Perhaps they will announce the fourth one as well next Tuesday.

    My fingers are crossed for a Roadhouse live show this December for a true Patrick Swayze Xmas! Shout Factory do have a Roadhouse Blu-Ray coming out in September…

    MKB are recording it in the fall as part of the Kickstarter, so… maybe? The only issue I have is that, like Starship Troopers and Anaconda, it’s owned by Sony. So no VOD/DVD release of the show, if it happens.

    Luckily there’ll be a DVD release (I assume, and you know what happens when you assume) of the reunion.

    Anyone interested in two tickets to the live show in Minneapolis tomorrow? Friends of mine had to drop out, so I have two extras. They are Ticketmaster electronic tickets, so I can transfer them to a valid email address. Email me at jhbender AT netscape DOT net if you’re interested. Make the subject line “MST3K Reunion Show Tickets”.

    They announced the DVD during the Kickstarter, so no need to go making things of U and Me.

    Shame they couldn’t have done this on a weekend instead of a work night otherwise I would have been able to make it to Minneapolis for sure as I’m only about four hours away. Oh well, just need to try to make one of the theater showings now, don’t want to miss out on this.

    I still can’t believe there are no showings of the Reunion in Montreal!! I remember seeing showings of The Room Live, Sharknado and Starship Troopers (which I attended), and maybe more, but no MST reunion this time around…

    Well then, I want one too. Hope everyone has fun at the show tonight! Not showing anywhere close to me at all. Sadness.

    I feel like a real moron right now.

    I figured that the Regal Commerce on Rt. 1 is never full for Rifftrax, so I should be able to get one seat tonight. And, I got there early and saw…SOLD OUT. So, I went home and logged in to get a seat for the encore. And, I saw…SOLD OUT.

    So, I can either go there on July 12th, get a ticket for ID4 and sneak in (I still doubt every seat will be full) or wait until the DVD is released on watch it then. What do you think, viewers at home?

    They haven’t begun filming yet, but they will be announcing their new tv home. My money is on IFC, but my dark horse is SeeSo.

    Of course! It’s the ONLY explanation for having them both on screen in the episode “Kitten with a Whip”!
