I dressed up as the Eleventh Doctor at the live Halloween show in Nashville a couple years ago and Kevin Murphy said he liked my fez.

If I ever run into an MST3K cast member, it is going to be one of the few cases where I ask for a photo. I worked in a place where I got to meet a ton of celebrities and the idea of taking a photo made me deeply embarrassed, it just seemed to take the normal, human conversation with them in a weird place, but I feel like I could manage it for literally any MST3K cast member.

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world

Joel stayed at the hotel I worked at a few years ago. I upgraded him because I’m a fan and was super excited that I got to check him in. Then I had to downgrade him because the lock for his door was broken and I had to make like 4 keys before we realized this. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die.

*weeping, punching the desk* I... I'm sorry, Mr. Robi- uh, Hodgson, but the only room we have available to replace your upgrade is the unlucky basement room that we call... Deep Thirteen. Anyway, i do a little bit improv, would yo- sir? Mr. Hodgson, where are you going?

I actually do improv and have dabbled in riffing in the past. My drive home that night was me fantasizing about talking to him about it and getting a job writing for MST3K (though this was about three years before the reboot was announced, so it was pure fantasy).

It was for a convention, the con booked him a regular room but I tried to give him a bigger one. I felt bad because he had to come back to me 3 or 4 times because his key wouldn’t work. I felt like an rear end.

Teenage Strangler has got to be one of the most baffling films they ever riffed

It's one of my favorites. No matter how many times I watch it, some of the lines still kill me. "I love it when you act like Der Fuhrer, honey! Let's commit the marriage act!"

One of the best bits of trivia about Teenage Strangler is the scene where Mikey and Betty (IIRC) are both crying their asses off at the police station. The actress playing Betty was the only person in the film who had any sort of acting experience, so the kid playing Mikey just followed her lead when it came to playing out the scene, and the rest is cinematic history. :v:

Netflix has been dropping a lot of shows pretty suddenly recently. We'll probably know the week before it airs.

Yeah, what the hell is up with that? I feel like Glow's season 2 airdate wasn't announced until like two weeks beforehand. I'd say it was in response to that Arrested Development bad publicity fiasco, but the same thing happened with AD and Kimmy Schmidt.

On the one hand, it's not like they need to hype it up for advertisers. No commercials, no need to get asses in couches for the premiere.

On the other hand, it's a real bummer to not know when something is coming back!

If you tell people "Your show is on in December" in July, then they can just unsub for 6 months. If you don't tell them until the last minute, they stay subscribed because "what if I miss it?!"

I'm not sure how tight we are on season 12 spoilers here but Frank was away from his radio show for a week and posted a pic of him and Patton during that time so guess who's probably making a cameo!

:) This excites me greatly.

You can ask Frank, he's very active on twitter. I went to their live show last year, and they had merch table and everything, also I was an idiot and just up and left after the show.
