It’s a good time to be an MST3K fan:

  • RiffTrax is going strong, with plenty of guest riffers like Fred Willard, Neil Patrick Harris, and Mary Jo Pehl…
  • There are four movies available from the Film Crew Online…which I’m going to finish watching just as soon as I can get my Netflix Watch Now option to start working again (Friggin’ Windows Media Player.)…
  • There’s Cartoon Dump, featuring both Frank Coniff and now Joel Hodgson…
  • Jim Mallon and company will be bringing the bots back in animated form, according to Satellite News
  • And, finally, Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu, J. Elvis Weinstein, Frank Conniff, and Mary Jo Pehl are planning on riffing movies too with Cinematic Titantic!

Seriously, some of these new projects sound, or are, cooler than others, but it’s great to see the old gang making with the funny again.

My thanks to Gerson for some of the info.

I don’t have anything clever to say here, just good luck!
