The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000” continues its Legacy stretch with Chapter 14: Extra-Curricular Activities! Together again, for the first time!

It began as a small MST 20th Anniversary project, it became a six-year collaboration that buried old grudges, inspired a new generation of fans, and, most importantly, launched thousands of riffs. Joel Hodgson, J. Elvis Weinstein, Trace Beaulieu, Mary Jo Pehl, and Frank Conniff ARE Cinematic Titanic!

In Part 1 of our huge deep dive into the Traveling Wilburys of movie riffing, we cover the studio years. Seven direct-to-DVD episodes full of shady government conspiracies, oozing brains, Stephen Hawking cameos, doomsday machines, wasp women, cherry pickers, vintage Kiss pinball machines, Filipino vampires, Santa Claus, and, yes, silhouettes!!

Join your wonky yet affable host, before the electron scaffolding kills us all!

This Week's Recommendation: “My Neighbor Totoro" (1988)
