Just got the Riff Off VODs, and holy poo poo, I actually saw Demon Bat before. Goddamn that one is a classic. I really wish Nat Geo would turn it into a weekly/monthly series.

Night of the Lepus riff is incredible. "HIPPITY-HOPPITY. DEATH IS ON ITS WAY."

Demon Bat was the best because they had a whole hour to work with one topic (which was also really stupid). The other two shows were still good, but all of the different clips didn't let them really get on a roll with any one thing.

So, I'm rewatching Demon Bat, and it remains one of the saddest things I've ever seen on TV.

http://www.wired.com/2014/04/mst3k-oral-history/quote:But this year Mystery Science Theater may finally get a long-rumored, heavily anticipated reboot. This spring Hodgson is hoping to start a new online incarnation of the show, one that will feature a fresh (and as-yet-unannounced) host and cameos from many MST3K alumni. Zoinks!

Wasn't the reason Joel originally left the show because it changed from his (and Trace's) original vision?

I don't think I'd be interested in a MST3K reboot no matter who was doing it. It's been 15 years, why does it need to come back? It feels so needless at this point. In other news there is a new short up, How to Keep a Job.

It doesn't need to come back, but I'll definitely add it to my DVR queue. The hardest part will be finding a host, and the nerds not telling them how horrible they are compared to Mike and Joel.

What was wrong with CT? They could of just switched that to online content and more of a revolving cast if that's what Joel wanted

If this is true, I think it's smart to reboot with a new host to eliminate fan partiality. The most important thing is hiring funny writers and getting the bots right.

I seem to recall them saying that it was hard to synchronize everybody's schedules, especially with each of them living in different areas of the country. Which makes sense with the kind of show that they take on the road.

muscles like this? posted:He quit because he was butting heads with producer Jim Mallon. Yeah, it's kind of sad reading that Wired oral history, where you can see there's still animosity between Mallon and pretty much everyone else. I seem to recall Joel saying that Cinematic Titanic was born out of his desire to resurrect MST3K but Jim vetoing it. If Jim still owns the rights to the MST name I wonder what changed for Joel to say this now.

I hope they go with Chris Hardwick and that this new MST3K teaches him how to mellow out as a comedian.

That said imagining Marc Maron sitting between two robots and having to watch a bad movie would be amazing if only for one episode.

I imagine a new MST3K would be all about the network going over the scripts making sure all references are current and pop culture enough that everybody can understand them.

Just watched Norman Gives A Speech, and I'm still baffled as to who kept making these and why. They're like if Mr. Bean was directed by a German nihilist trying to express the futility of existence. The only thing that confuses me more is that there appears to be a five year gap in the production of each one.

See, I feel like Birdemic is a total slog without Rifftrax. The Room is consistently funny and is actually less effective with Rifftrax.
