Joel Hodgson "Cinematic Titanic" (MST3K reunion) DVD coming Nov. 20

[Amerigo Vespucci]

CINEMATIC TITANIC is the new feature-length movie riffing show from the creator and original cast of MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000. Like MST3K, the show was created by JOEL HODGSON and features the same team that first brought the Peabody award winning cult-classic series to life: TRACE BEAULIEU (Crow, Dr. Forrester), J. ELVIS WEINSTEIN (Tom Servo, Dr. Erhardt), FRANK CONNIFF (TV’s Frank), and MARY JO PEHL (Pearl Forrester), Cinematic Titanic continues the tradition of riffing on ‘the unfathomable’, ‘the horribly great’, and the just plain ‘cheesy’ movies from the past.

Founded in late 2007, Cinematic Titanic is an artist funded, owned, and operated venture. With a combination of new shows on DVD every 6-8 weeks (available in our STORE) and an ever-growing schedule of LIVE SHOWS, the CT crew hopes to reconnect with “MSTies” around the world as well as bringing new fans to the comedy artform they first brought to TV 20 years ago.

Blogger’s note:

The song Razzle Dazzle is from the musical “Chicago” and not “Billy Elliot”. Thank you. I’ll resume the Doug Henning thread at a different time.

Just wanted to check in and say thanks to everyone in Minneapolis for the warm welcome and response to Cinematic Titanic Live. It was so cool to come back to the town where movie riffing began and do it all over again. As you may know, we performed “Blood of the Vampires”, a film that takes place in Mexico in the 1800s, but which in reality was shot on location in the Philippines, with Mexican land barons, their families and slaves portrayed exclusively by Filipinos. The audience really seemed to like this weird film, and I can’t tell you just how fun it is to be back together and riffing in concert. Of course, “Blood of the Vampires” will be a DVD we’ll be releasing in the future, sometime early in ‘09.

Also, we’re starting to plan more live dates for early next year, but as of this time we don’t have any specific dates or locations set in stone. When we do, I’ll be sure to announce it here first.

October 30th– that’s today– marks a full year since I announced the beginning of Cinematic Titanic. It’s been so much fun, and so much work, but the good kind of work.
Let me thank you personally for supporting and watching our new pass at movie riffing. We hope you’ve enjoyed it.

Now the big news:

This Saturday, November 1st, Cinematic Titanic rolls into The Family Arena in St. Louis, and since it officially is the beginning of the Holiday Season, we’ve decided to do a movie riffing holiday classic. That’s right, we’re re-riffing “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians”! This edition has completely different riffs from our MST3K version and also features several bonus minutes of the original movie that weren’t featured in the MST version. We thought it would be a cool experiment to see what revisiting a movie after all these years would produce. Not to brag, but it’s likely to be the riff-jam of the year!

Naturally, this means we’ll be releasing a DVD version of Cinematic Titanic’s “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians” just in time for the holidays on November 20th, as well as a series of holiday e-cards you’ll be able to send to everyone on your gift list, whether you deem them “naughty” or “nice”.

That’s all for now.

Happy Halloween/Happy Holidays,

Joel
