Reader BIG61AL sent us several pictures of Mike, Kevin, Bill and Frank from the recent San Diego Comic-Con. You can see them after the cut. Thanks, BIG61AL!
Also, if you went to the RiffTrax panel, this is the trailer you saw:
- BIG61AL and the RiffTrax crew
- The obligatory bot shot
- Just another face in a red jumpsuit
- Bill says goodbye to the panel
- “Get me outta here!”
- Kevin on the stage
- Look for it on eBay soon!
- Frank shmoozes with fellow “Dr. Floyd” performer Moira Quirk
- Blurry TV’s Frank!
- Frank and Chuck “I said ‘lunch’ not ‘launch’!” McCann
- Mike, Bill and Kevin practice their Spielberg poses
- Bill Corbett, screenwriter
- “Back off!”
- Mike gets cornered
- Bill Fonzarelli Corbett
- We secretly replaced Kevin with this wax figure…
- Mike “I moved to San Diego for this?” Nelson
- Bill yucks it up
Is it just me, or does Kevin Murphy look like “the most interesting man in the world”?
Great shots! That’s not a convention attendee Frank’s schmoozing with, that Moira “Mo” Quirk from Nickelodeon’s GUTS and Global GUTS! :) THanks for posting these!
“The most interesting man in the world”????
Yes, the most interesting man in the world. “People hang on his every word, even the prepositions.”
Wish I could have been there. I’ve done a lot of Star Wars cons but never my favorite TV show. I like the Tom Server, mine is just a head and a torso, I need to get the rest of the parts one day.
I was thinking I would have gotten my Colossal Episode Guide autographed, but then I realized that 2/3’s of the guys there were not “visibly” on the show when that was written. …but who cares! Its Mike and the Bots! Maybe it would have been my first DVD I ever bought, the original MST3K: The Movie case. …yah, that’s the ticket!
Ah well, I can dream can’t I? Maybe next year….
Johnny Ryde – That made my morning! :smile:
I lift my glass of Dos Equis to you!
Thanks for the info, Grant! I’ve corrected the caption for Moira.
Does Mr. Nelson keep an ancient portrait of himself in the attic?
I saw these guys at ComicCon Saturday. They are without a doubt, the friendliest, warmest people. Kevin always has a big smile for everyone, and Mike and Bill are always great, too. Kevin looks like he lost some weight, plus he has a manly-man tan. The “Most Interesting Man in the World” reference is apt.
It looks like Bill Corbett has lost weight as well.
Question: Does anyone know why The Film Crew was discontinued after only 4 films?
@Dennis:
A current (US) advertising campaign for Dos Equis beer features “the most interesting man in the world”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2SSZA0CjdQ
Stay thirsty, my friends…
I like that they always seem to be in a genuinely good mood. That must be nice, and something I can never seem to achieve.
@DON3k, I know the feeling. That’s why I’ve got mst3k plugged in here at work and I go home to watch more. It helps to make me more suitable to be around other humans and small animals.
Jean- funny I am reading the Wilde classic as I type this. I dunno, but from where I sit I think the West Coast has been awful kind to our beloved Mike- living in the Mid-west (as I do) what with long winters takes a toll on people.
@Loran Alan Davis:
“Question: Does anyone know why The Film Crew was discontinued after only 4 films?”
Perhaps these Rifftrax blog comments from Bill and Kevin might help answer that question.

Kevin actually looks like a cross between the Most Interesting Man in the World and Shelby Foote

I didn’t know about beer ad-sorry !!
But was it as good as a Galaxy Quest Con?
Great pics and thanks for posting the trailer. That’s pretty cool to see too.
WOW! It feels great to finally contribute something worthy to the Satellite News website. I can not fully express how much I enjoyed seeing and meeting some of the people whose work I admire deeply. Again, they were all so friendly and approchable. I especially enjoyed sitting near Bridget during Rifftrax Live, I felt like a honored guest in the VIP section. Comic Con 2009 will be a well remembered highlight in my life. Thanks to everyone who made it special for me.
