In case anyone wants to watch a sci-fi comedy series with Joel Hodgson playing a jumpsuit-clad stoner trapped on a spaceship with a snarky robot voiced by Trace Beaulieu and various other characters, you can find all 8 episodes of 'Other Space' streaming on a thing called 'Dust'.

thanks for posting that... I binged the whole thing the other day and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It is an incredibly standard beach movie though Little Richard is of a higher quality than the B-list surf bands that beach movies usually got.

there are a lot of eps in both nf seasons i didn’t bother rewatching; starcrash, the weird baby santa one, either of the wizards ones, ator. i don’t really care for fantasy settings, holiday movies annoy me, and starcrash was kind of... boring?

my favorite genres to riff are usually crime/noir/beat/bikers, boring space movies with grey, talky jumpsuited squareheaded guys, poo poo like that

this, except exactly the opposite

Joel seems to really like physical artifacts, and I think that's why he's hammering on the Gizmoplex idea.

the shtick on his sketch show was that there was some kind of rotating camera/room situation, and I imagine the Gizmoplex is the current iteration:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_TV_Wheel

(I read in an interview that he'd trademarked Xbox for a bunch of different items, but not video games)

Add in that the show "killed off" his character in S12 and I do have to wonder a little.

didn't he also say something at the end about needing a gig? that gave me the impression it was more that he wanted to be involved full-time but they'd turned him down

I might be conflating answers to two different questions

I read somewhere, almost certainly here, that Frank gets 5% of the MST3K royalties, but nobody else gets any (other than Joel/Mallon, then just Mallon, now whatever is going on with Joel and Shout)

no idea if it's true. regardless, apparently part of the new deal is that the Rifftrax dudes get some action whenever they sell an episode of MST3K thru Rifftrax.

first short from the Mads' riff a night or two ago: very 50s office, all the employees are complaining about their boss.

Frank: It's like they all work for Jim Mallon or something.

I think he’s said he was hired to help with the typing, but that was mostly just self-deprecating humor.

my understanding was that he was literally hired to do that and asked if he could do some of his own jokes. they were so good that he quickly got promoted to head writer

What I mean is, I’m pretty sure this story is somewhat exaggerated for comedic effect. He was someone they knew from the comedy scene, not just someone that was hired off the street. Even if his official job description when he was hired was just to type, I don’t think they would hire someone like that and not expect him to contribute comedically, especially considering the “everyone pitches in on everything” way that the original show was produced.

ah, gotcha
