These are pretty painful to watch. I don’t want to be too critical of someone’s independent venture, and I know good interviewing is a skill that I don’t even know if I have, but every interview here feels excruciatingly awkward.
On the other hand, if I ever got to interview Joel et al, I’d probably go all Chris Farley on them.
I’m sure this is true of most of us, but I’ve seen so many of these interviews with the MST3K alums over the years that I feel like I could answer most of these questions myself. We know these are interesting and informed people, and we know they could probably talk about anything if given the chance, so I’d love to see a good interviewer guide them into a real conversation about whatever is interesting to them. Even Keith Olbermann’s interview with them was very meh.
I know they’re trying to reach a new audience, not me (the old audience), so they have to give out some basic info for the uninitiated. But the same kinds of interviews with the same old questions about how MST3K started just feel like wasted opportunities to me.

I agree with WeatherServo9, I could have answered these questions. Still, these two seem more compentent than many others that have come before. John especially seems capable (also easy on the eyes), but they just stuck to the basics. It should be better, but we have seen and heard much worse.
