Most genius casting decisions of all time:
3. Morgan Freeman as Mandela in INVICTUS
2. Gwyneth Paltrow as a corpse in CONTAGION
1. PATTON MOTHERFUCKING OSWALT AS THE SON OF FRANK ON MST3K

It involved Frank, NummyMuffinCocoolButter, and the Umbilicus. I'll leave it to you to put those pieces together.

Do not mail a cup of your jizz to Joel Hodgson, though.

Uhh, I thought it was Jonah Ray was the one that the AV Club commenters liked to give shit. I thought Patton was the Jesus of the AV Club.

Well, sadly, that's a common occurrence with female celebrities in nerd culture; you just take the good with the bad.

But now that the MST3K guys are getting paid through the RiffTrax sales, maybe things have changed. I mean, not getting paid anything for a show as beloved as MST3K is? I can imagine that would make you hesitant to come back to it.

Yep! But I was done with THE OFFICE by then; I just caught his appearance on YouTube.

From all the stuff I've seen that Jonah Ray has posted about MST3K on his Twitter, he seems like he gets why this show is funny and beloved. I doubt he's just doing a put-on to get the fans to like him, and I also doubt any insensitive material he may have made in his stand-up will translate into his riffing. Again,…

Or the voice that went "CHING-CHONG CHING-CHONG" in THE WILD WILD WORLD OF BATWOMAN? My God, that moment is worthy of all the cringe.

I HATE TOM SERVO'S NEW NEW VOICE!

It could be. I want it to be. After all, that last silhouette does look vaguely Frank-ish.

Mike and Bill have said they're not involved, but Joel says that he wants to invite all the old crew back once the Kickstarter's over and the new show is officially a go. Plus, the MST3K crew is just now getting paid for its work on the show through RiffTrax selling the old episodes, and Joel wants to make sure they…

Funnily enough, Jim Mallon is now a therapist himself. Apparently, he took it up after his daughter died and he was able to recover from it through therapy.

Frank just replied to someone's tweet asking if he'd come back on the new show. He said "Your guess is as good as mine." So I'm gonna say we'll have to wait and see, cause the old MST3K cast isn't getting invited back until the Kickstarter is over.

Agreed, but he really did get to show in Cinematic Titanic that he's matured since those days. I mean, the guy was 18 when MST3K got off the ground. Everyone's sense of humor sucks when they're a teenager.

Great news all around. I've only seen bits of pieces of Felicia and Baron's work, but I like what I see. And just like Jonah, these guys have been picked by Joel, so I trust his word over anyone else's. Our generation needs an MST3K to fight off all the assholes out there.

Oh, fuck me, that dude ruined the whole thing for me. For one thing, I was sure it was a young Wormtongue, so when I found out it wasn't, that pissed me off. On the other hand, he looks like a Gallagher brother (the Oasis ones, not the watermelon ones).

Or in BILL AND TED! Rufus never once said "cock" or "pussy" in either of those movies. Then again, I never saw the infamous "Unrated Genghis Cut".

I kept telling these people that celebrating a guy who beats his wife and does crack around his kids was gonna turn out badly. But nobody listened!

Also, I'm fairly certain Jonah would have to change his style of comedy to fit the MST3K style. I doubt Joel would let the host of his show make jokes about heroin addiction. It's like when Richard Pryor hosted a kids' show: of course he's not gonna do jokes about setting himself on fire in front of a more innocent…
