I always assumed Gypsy was supposed to be snake-like and popping out of holes in the floor, wall, etc. and traveling around the ship through tubes and vents to wherever she needed to be. Cool to see they're doing something with that apparently.

Yeah, they weren't identical, but they were similar enough to be two people doing the "same" voice. Like two people playing Santa. Kevin and J. Elvis, on the other hand, had completely different takes on Servo, so it's apparently tradition for the Servo voices to make zero attempt to ape each other.

Well, the twist of it is, what I've seen of Baron's standup, I've loved. Dude's a loving pisser. So I'm VERY interested in seeing his take on Servo in full action. I'm just going to have to adjust to him.

Despite having already seen the first episode (  ), I never noticed until just now that Jonah has the mission patches on his sleeve.

I can't unsee the bad photoshopping of Felicia in that picture, I know it'd be a pain in the rear end to apply transparency to the spaces in Crow, but jeez.

It feels like a puzzle picture. Spot 3 things wrong with this image! 1. Half of Felicia's abdomen is missing 2. Her shadows are facing the wrong way 3. Weird black outline on her right arm

Patton Oswalt's left arm looks all hosed up too, right where Servo starts. Maybe because he and Felicia Day are standing next to each other in the picture they cut apart to make that one? Also I heard Felicia Day gave birth like three weeks after filming finished. I wonder if they tried to Austin-Powers out her abdomen for anything, as happens sometimes when tv actors are pregnant.

I doubt it. Felicia strikes me as one of those women who barely shows a bump until like 3 days before her water breaks.

When she announced publicly that she was pregnant, which was only a couple weeks before she was due, Mary Jo Pehl tweeted at her that she had no idea when they were on set.

Bobbin Threadbare posted:There's also the fact that Kevin was Tom Servo for nine seasons. That's a lot of time to get used to one voice. It's also a very distinct voice. It's actually really jarring to go from Weinstein to Murphy, because Kevin has a sort of constant growl in his throat and harsh consonants that make him sound distinctly different. It's sort of easier to "do" Crow without imitating Trace - you just sort of talk like yourself with a bit of a nasally, teenage edge. If you want Tom Servo to sound like he did in seasons 2-10, you flat out can't without just imitating the guy who played him, at which point, I imagine you have to focus so much on that, it gets pretty hard to be funny while riffing. I'd rather have someone just do an entirely new take on the voice than trying to sound like Kevin Murphy and ending up sound like Seth Rogen with a head cold.

I think Bill did a great job with Crow. Most of the time I can't really tell unless I focus for a bit. Then, yeah, it's kind of obvious but on random I have trouble telling Trace and Bill apart.

I think both Kevin and Bill tried to ape their predecessors initially, but then both obviously got much better. Bill's trial by fire learning how to be a puppeteer was also a bit fraught, since you can tell in Revenge of the Creature he's not quite gotten the hang of it yet.

I think Bill's noted that it seems Crow has suffered a mild stroke in his first few episodes of the Sci Fi run.

Corbett sounds really different to me, to be honest, but again, I do think "Crow-ness" is sort of a quality a person can apply to their voice, while Servo was mostly just Kevin Murphy. Corbett's timbre is sort of lighter and dreamier; he always sounds a little more interested and a little less angry (which is interesting, given that the writing is sort of the other way around).

I think that's probably true if only because Joel and Mike had roughly equal amounts of time as the show lead so we're used to seamlessly flipping back and forth between Joel and Mike episodes. But for most of us there has effectively only ever been one Servo.

He acted more like a little brother to Mike. That's a good way to put it, actually. Trace Crow is also a younger brother but he's the one that's less than a year younger, is irritated and constantly trying to be edgy. Corbett Crow is a whiny, easily distracted kid brother who's mad that he isn't always in on the joke. I like both of them, but they're way different, and I love the idea that all of the robot characters can be completely reinvented to suit the changing cast and the changing world.

Got the new boxset, and thiere's a nice little doc on there called "Mike, by Joel", in which Joe talks about how Mike came to hired for the show and about how he became the de facto go to actor for all the bit parts. The interesting bit is that when he was leaving, apparently Joel was pushing for Bridget to take over as host, instead of having, in his words, "another doughy mid-western guy". Though what is interesting is he wanted her to play Joel, just a Joel who had been hit by a sex change ray.

Bridget is good with Mary Jo doing Rifftrax, but I don't think she could carry the whole show.

Everyone in the cast and crew of MST3k gets in on the riffing; Mike's job as "head writer" was mostly to transcribe what everyone was saying as they went through the movie minute by minute, repeating each scene several times to make sure they had enough quality material. Frank got some theater time at one point, too.
