As the MST3K Kickstarter progresses, I have to say, I've met Joel twice now and I have 100% confidence in him and this project to make a new MST3K.

Reunion shows seem fun at first, but generally just kind of leave you with a weird taste in your mouth.

Responses:

Are the riff trax shows somewhat kid friendly? - iSpam Nov 12, 17:50 4
- I would say they are on the upper end of PG-13. Definitely edgier than MST3K, but I dunno if I'd say R. -- nm - Qale Nov 12, 17:51 3
  - They're not dropping f bombs every 30 seconds is what I wanted to make sure. - iSpam Nov 12, 17:54 2
    - Oh gosh no. They keep it similar to the movie being riffed at the very least. -- nm - Qale Nov 12, 17:55 1
      - Ok thanks. I'm going to see if we can make the Santa movie. -- nm - iSpam Nov 12, 17:56
from his Reddit AMA, it's less a reunion show than a Dr. Who-style reboot with a new "Joel" and Mad, and voices for the bots -- nm - jangles Nov 12, 17:41 10
- Right. He said as much before the kickstarter at conventions right after cursing about how hard it's been getting the rights from Jim Mallon. -- nm - Qale Nov 12, 17:47 6
  - Was there a falling out between Mallon and the rest? - Tim Nov 12, 17:48 3
    - Absolutely. Mallon is pretty much the most hated man in MST3K lore. Well, him and Joe Don Baker, I guess. -- nm - Qale Nov 12, 17:50 1
      - MST3K basically saved me in the 90's, so I'm ashamed I didn't know this. -- nm - Tim Nov 12, 17:52
    - he's been a huge dick about the show for a long time -- nm - jangles Nov 12, 17:50
  - Shout! just bought everything from Best Brains, as I understand the announcement. So I'm assuming that pays Jim off forever -- nm - jangles Nov 12, 17:47 1
    - Hurrah!! -- nm - Qale Nov 12, 17:50
- Will the other dude be involved? -- nm - David Nov 12, 17:43 2
  - so far, Trace, Frank, and Mike have said they won't be involved -- nm - jangles Nov 12, 17:45 1
    - if Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett are in, that's some weird cross pollination between Rifftrax and Cinematic Titanic. -- nm* - Tim Nov 12, 17:49
