The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000” enters its next phase: Chapter 15, It's Time for RiffTrax!!

We're starting a huge deep dive into the history and legacy of the longest-lasting MST3K reunion project thus far: RiffTrax. How did it all begin? Who was responsible? What's the timeline? There is so much to discuss this week, and we'll answer all these questions plus:

-What does "Titanic" have to do with RiffTrax's origins?
-Who are the key background players?
-What are the ties between early MST3K and the company's first steps?
-Did Mike Nelson ever do informative audio commentaries?
-Is "Road House" the greatest movie ever made?

Join your wonky yet affable host for the start of a new era!
