CINEMATIC TITANIC LIVE IN L.A.

We've been invited by the LA Film Festival to perform live at the Ford Amphitheater on June 21st. We're thrilled to be able to play this beautiful venue (1,241 seats in a beautiful outdoor setting in the Hollywood Hills).

We'll be riffing live to Roger Corman's "The Wasp Woman" which we premiered last month in Dallas to reviews like the following:

They performed to the tune of Roger Corman's The Wasp Woman, and folks, I've got to tell you, I haven't laughed that hard (or that often) in a long time. The experience of being in the theater while these wiseacres are doing their thing is something I will treasure always."

The Satellite News page for fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (clip embedded) is announcing a mega-panel for Comic-Con in San Diego. On the evening of Friday, July 25, the entire cast of the show's 10-year run will appear together.

The gathering will gather show writers and stars that haven't appeared together for years. The guests will include Joel Hodgson, Mike Nelson, Trace Beaulieu, Paul Chaplin, Frank Conniff, Bill Corbett, Jim Mallon, Kevin Murphy, Bridget Nelson, Mary Jo Pehl and J. Elvis Weinstein. Patton Oswalt will moderate.

Greetings,

It's been very busy around here at Cinematic Titanic, but a good kind of busy. First off, we've been working on the new batch of shows for the fall and winter. As you may have heard: we're planning on settling into a delivery schedule of a new show every six weeks or so. Which means, we'll have our new offering "The Wasp Woman" available AUGUST 7th.

This week we're shooting interviews for the much-anticipated Mystery Science Theater 20th anniversary box set. The producers at "Shout Factory" asked us to come to the shoot, "camera ready" and dressed as "we'd want our children and grandchildren to see us". So, I'm curious, how exactly do you pick out an outfit for something like that? And this weekend, Trace, Josh, Frank, Mary Jo and I will be traveling to San Diego to attend Comic-con on and do a special panel celebrating the 20th anniversary of MST3K. Which is also being taped for the 20th anniversary box set. It's going to feel like Christmas in July! I can't wait to watch Trace and Frank walk through the dealer's room together and cause some major MSTie frenzy! Please come by and say hello if you happen to be at the con.

Also, we just booked an unbelievably great (and huge) venue for Cinematic Titanic Live in St. Louis called Family Arena on November 1st, which is exactly a week after our homecoming show in Minneapolis at the State Theater on October 25th. Tickets will be on sale very soon.

Man I'm rolling on that one!

We wanted to let you know about latest bit of shameless capitalism: The MST3K Catchphrases T-shirt store.

The idea came to me after our recent weekend discussion thread, where we listed the many many many phrases that have been made popular by the show. It occurred to me that what MSTies would love would be shirts that proudly and boldly proclaimed a phrase that would make 90 percent of general public say “Huh?” and the other 10 percent say, “Hey! One of my own kind!”

Now, we know the economy’s tough, so with your wallet in mind, we're offering the most inexpensive -- white -- T-shirt CafePress offers (it’s still 100 percent cotton; I bought one myself and I think it’s a good-quality shirt) and we are only charging two smackers over the base price. There are more than 130 phrases to choose from.
