Future John Oliver rants:
Thermoses are just insulated plastic.
Hot dogs are made from pigs' asses.
Fast food is bad for you.
The plastic things at the ends of shoelaces don't do anything.
Kool-Aid is not actually juice.

I'll wager 400 quatloos on the womanrapist.

"So Whoopi, anything you'd like to say in Bill's defense?"
"Hommina hommina hommina…"

Because Lucas retroactively destroys all the old STAR WARS movies for his pleasure, and has said he doesn't care what the fans think about it. Joel has left the old episodes alone, and has been responsive/classy to people about this show. If this new season sucks, the first 10 seasons will still be there, unaltered.

I saw on Jonah Ray's Instagram a picture of him watching one of the Bob Hope-Bing Crosby movies, and once I saw that, I felt like we were in good hands. I've always loved MST3K for the wide plethora of cultural references made by the cast and writers. People are always amazed I know so much about movies, but I just…

Funny thing was, that cosmonaut was played by Mike Nelson, who sure enough soon became the actual MST3K host. Also, there's an actual MST3K ripoff made in Russia called something along the line of PROJECT POPCORN.

They did, back in 2013. It was a shame, cause I think they were finally hitting their stride. But with all the cast living so far apart from one another, they just couldn't make that many episodes. Most of their stuff is on Hulu, though.

Segment with Crow is my least favorite Captain Beefheart album.

Actually, he's been pretty supportive of it. He's made it clear that he's just joking, and considering he's the guy who was just in the first season that nobody liked that much, he doesn't have much to lose.

And that's essentially what Mike said about the reboot: he had a great time with MST3K, but the show wasn't his. RiffTrax is his property, and after 9+ years of success, why would you drop that?

But then again, Trace and Joel were on stage this past year at Comic-Con when Joel announced to the crowd the reboot was still making headway, and Trace said on the Satellite News boards afterwards he would not be involved. So either way, I'm not choosing sides, and I think it's a RASHOMON effect of different people…

I honestly don't know who to believe anymore. All I know is that I doubt Joel did any of this to exploit people or make his co-workers feel left out.

I think Amazon/Hulu/Netflix are way more likely. You think they'll go back to Comedy Central and SyFy after they unceremoniously gave them the boot? I wouldn't think so.

All I see is Trace and Frank saying "Yeah, we wish we were on the show too" and retweeting people who say they want them back. Trace has said himself that any "barbs" toward the new show that he's tweeted are just jokes, he wishes everyone well.

Not sure, but if there was any bad end, it may have been because Joel wanted to bring back MST3K with a new cast while the rest of the CT people wanted to keep CT going. I doubt this, because I believe they're all living in different parts of the country and that made it hard to keep CT going, but I'm just…

Trace said on a radio show that Joel made him an offer, but had to turn it down. No ill will, though. But seeing as Trace has unfollowed Joel's Twitter…hmm.

But you can! Just make them drink some of that serum from DEATH BECOMES HER, and make sure they avoid breaking or damaging their bodies. It's simple, Hodgson! WHERE IS THAT KICKSTARTER?!?

Well, now everyone from the show gets a share from the MST3K episode sales on RiffTrax, but I dunno how that changes things. Plus, Kevin said in an interview last year that he thought coming back to MST3K would feel too much like RETURN TO GILLIGAN'S ISLAND, so I'm pretty sure he's good where he is.

Yeah, he's been totally quiet on social media about the matter. He did an interview on KTMA recently, and when the guy asked him about it, all he said was "I wish them all the best." So if there's any dissent on his part, at least he's being diplomatic.

Patton Oswalt alone made the telethon a billion times better than the Jamie Kennedy New Year's show.
