Joel Hodgson – Riffing Myself by dailypop Since sitting through the Turkey Day marathon back in 1991, I have been a devoted MSTie. Their catalog forms the backdrop of my psyche (which has complications). Since his MST3k days, Jowl has worked in several projects including the TV Wheel, the elusive Jolly Filter and Cinematic Titanic. His one man show, 'Riffing Myself,' will be a treat to MSTies young and old. He met with the folks at SpeakerCreature to discuss the show, the history of MST3K and its continuation beyond his involvement as well as the unusual origin of the name chosen for TV's wise-cracking Crow. (Via SpeakerCreatures) Comedian Joel Hodgson is best known for creating and hosting the series Mystery Science Theater 3000, a show about a marooned Gizmonics employee (Joel "Robinson") and his pair of wise cracking robot companions. The trio are imprisoned aboard a static space station (The Satellite Of Love), where they are routinely forced to sit through reel after reel of forgotten bad movies. In 1993, Joel left MST3K in the middle of its fifth season. His final episode, "Mitchell," became known as one of the benchmark moments of the show's arc and is often cited by fans as being their favorite. Head writerMike Nelson stepped in as the show's host until the series ended in 1999. Hodgson has since watched his creation become one of the most beloved cult television shows in pop culture history. Hodgson is currently touring his one man show, "Riffing Myself," which he'll be performing at the historic Plaza Theater in Atlanta on August 10 and 11th. I had the opportunity to catch up with Joel to talk about his run on the series. Tell me about Riffing Myself. What is the show about and how did it come to be? It is kind of the origin story of the creation of Mystery Science Theater. I bought a scanner about a year ago and started scanning all my stuff-a lot of posters, newspaper articles and photos. I started to realize that in my mind, it was all coming together as a narrative. So I decided to put it together and make it into a show. I've been doing it once a month or so since last October. What were some of the specific reasons why you left Mystery Science Theater? I've talked about this a bit. I was having disagreements with my partner Jim Mallon, who was the producer of the show. We weren't seeing eye to eye, so in lieu of having a big fight and potentially hurting the show, I decided to leave. But MST was your baby. Yes. It was my baby. That is my baby. So why just walk away? The only analogy I can make is the story of King Solomon. Two women had come up and claimed to be the mother of this one baby. It was decided the only solution was to cut the baby in two and give each mother a half but the real mother said, "Oh, just let her have the baby." And that's how he figured out who the true mother of the baby was. So, yeah. I am the mother of Mystery Science Theater. It's my baby. What is the secret to being a good movie riffer? I think it's about not being too sarcastic or too cynical about the movie. I think you have to respect it. It's hard to make a film, even a bad one. I think a rookie's mistake is usually, "I'm going to just complain about how bad the movie is and point out all the flaws." I don't think that's what good movie riffing is. Movie riffing is kind of like creating a variety show out of the movie. You collaborate with it. Trace Beaulieu [who portrayed Crow T. Robot and Dr. Forrester on MST] once said that the movies are like Margaret Dumont and we're like The Marx Brothers. The Marx Brothers wouldn't be as funny without Margaret Dumont. The coloring book version of movie riffing is real cynical and sarcastic. Sure, you can take jabs but after you've done other things first. You're supposed to be the companion to the audience. No one wants to hang out with an asshole, so you have to be kind of nice. I think that's the secret. Is there a single MST episode where you remember the entire cast firing on all cylinders? Yes. I really like "I Accuse My Parents." Although, I just watched "Mitchell" again recently. That one is very funny. So yeah, those two probably. Is it true that Joe Don Baker was actually annoyed at your treatment of "Mitchell?" You know what's funny? Someone who is a real Mystery Science Theater historian just told me that. I've always heard that story but I always thought it was kind of a myth. But supposedly, yeah. The poor guy had never heard of it. I guess when you're Joe Don Baker, you go: [impersonates Joe Don Baker] 'What? There's a show that makes fun of movies and the funniest one is my movie?' I think that would be sobering and unsettling for him. So yeah, I didn't think the story was true but someone I trust told me it is, so I believe it is now. __________________________ One more thing. Is it true that Crow T. Robot was named after a Jim Carroll song? Yeah! The song "Crow" from the Catholic Boy album. It is a great album. Joel Hodgson's "Riffing Myself" will be at The Plaza Theater in Atlanta on August 10th and 11th. He will also be joined onstage by the Cineprov cast on the 11th, for a Star Trek free for all jam!

Director Bryan Singer on X-Men Days of Future Past by dailypop Sworn to protect a people who hate and fear them, the X-Men have long been the outsiders of the superhero community. While they represent the future of the human race, they have nevertheless been hunted to extinction. In the Days of Future Past, the X-Men are grant a glimpse into a dark future in which the paranoia of mutant bigotry reaches a fever pitch and results in the creation of the Sentinels, a line of massive sophisticated robots that police the entire population. In a desperate move to alter the track of history, a team member of the surviving X-Men is sent into the past to alter events leading to the birth of the Sentinel program. In a stunning move, the he motion picture will bridge the gap between the prequel film and the previous trilogy. How does that work? Director Bryan Singer has the answers... Via Superherohype: We know that the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past will combine both the cast of the original X-Men films and 2011's X-Men: First Class, but where does it take place in relation to those films? Speaking with Empire Magazine, director Bryan Singer revealed the placement of the film on the franchise's timeline. "It takes place about ten years, give or take, after X-Men 3; and in the past it takes place about ten years after First Class." Singer also coined a new word for what to call the film, ""I'd say it's not a sequel to one of the others. It's an inbetwequel — that's what I call it, for lack of a better word." Previous reports on the film have revealed it to take place in a few other locations beyond simply America, but Singer says that's just the first layer and the film goes even more places. "It takes place in the future and the past and then all over the world, from Russia to China, then France, and Washington, New York," he says. "It's got scope, but most of the scope is in the breadth of the story." Speaking about the "1970s" portion of the film, Singer revealed where we will find Charles Xavier and Magneto at the start of the film: "Charles is in a very dark hole when we meet him, and Erik has been gathering his power." Coming to theaters on May 23, 2014, X-Men: Days of Future Past stars Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, Peter Dinklage, Omar Sy, Halle Berry, Daniel Cudmore, Fan Bingbing, Boo Boo Stewart, Adan Canto, Evan Peters, Josh Helman and Lucas Till. dailypop | July 30, 2013 at 1:54 pm | Tags: Bryan Singer x-men, X-Men: Days of Future Past | Categories: X-Men | URL: http://wp.me/p4kUt-4Fz Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.

Doctor Who – The Final DVD releases of 2013 by dailypop The 50th anniversary of Doctor Who also marks the final days of the Doctor Who Classic DVD line, with the last of the complete stories soon to be available on disc along with a few surprises. The Green Death: Special Edition - 5 August BOSS rules over a massive corporation threatening to destroy the human race with an excess of poisonous sludge, transforming harmless maggots into massive monsters. One of the most enduring Third Doctor adventures, Green Death will receive the special edition treatment. Along with enhanced sound and image, there are additional extras including a retrospective featuring former new series head writer/producer Russell T Davies and BBC Controller of Drama Jane Tranter as well as 'The Death of the Doctor' from the Sarah Jane Smith Adventures. (Pre-order in the US here) The Ice Warriors -26 August The second ice age threatens to crush the surviving human race under a cold blanket of extinction. The Doctor arrives after an expeditionary crew have unearthed what they think is a fossil of some kind, but instead it is a frozen invader from the dying planet Mars. The Patrick Troughton era is often cited as one of the most iconic and influential of the program's history. With so many of the stories missing parts of entirely, there are few opportunities for fans to enjoy these classic adventures. Thanks to the hard work of the animation team, the Ice Warriors can be viewed in completion. Complete with animated sequences (Pre-order in the US here) Scream of the Shalka -16 September Before Doctor Who returned in 2005, there was another rebirth in the form of this animated story starring Richard E Grant as a new incarnation of the Doctor. A four part adventure by fan favorite Paul Cornell (Father's Day), Scream of the Shalka is an oddity that missed much of fandom and remains a view of what possibly could have been. (full article on this story here) (Pre-order in the US here) Terror of the Zygons - 30 September Tom Baker is menaced by Zygons On the moors of Scotland, there are strange events that prompt the Brigadier to call in the services of Doctor, pulling him out of the time and pace vortex and into a web of intrigue. One of the most memorable and frightening of the classic adventures, Terror of the Zygons is brimming with startling moments and unnerving imagery. This will also mark the final release of the Forth Doctor played by Tom Baker and will also be released in a special Time Capsule edition. (Full article on this story here) (Pre-order in the US here) Moonbase - 21st October A startling sequel to their first appearance in the Tenth Planet, Moonbase took the Doctor Who team to the moon where they encountered a horrifying invasion of the silver giants. While it can be said that the Cybermen have not had the best track record on screen and are often presented as second rate filler creatures who are as dull as they are cold, in this story viewers witnessed them lurking in the shadows, stealing bodies in the night. One of my personal favorites, it is fortunate that this story will finally get the special attention it deserves, along with animated sequences filling in the gaps of missing parts. (Full article on this story here) (This story is not available for pre-order in the US yet) The Tenth Planet - 18th November The final adventure of the First Doctor Who, the introduction of the Cybermen and the first instance in which the Doctor appears to die only to return as a new man. There are few Doctor Who stories that are so full of iconic moments as this one. It's also a cracking good story with plenty of tension and super creepy monsters.

The Avengers return in new Big Finish Productions series by dailypop The Avengers - John Steed by Robert Hack One of the most iconic and influential of 1960's TV programs, the Avengers continues to mystify fans with its unique blend of humor, action and drama. Popularized in 1965 with the inclusion of Mrs. Peel played by Dame Diana Rigg, there are many episodes of the Avengers that fans in the US are largely unaware of, including the Honor Blackman episodes and the even earlier initial incarnation in which the bowler-hatted John Steed played a supporting role to Dr David Keel. Next year, Big Finish, the same studio behind the excellent long-running Doctor Who audio series, Blake's 7, Dark Shadows, Sherlock Homes, Dorian Grey and more will be adding this timeless classic to its repertoire. Prepare for the return of the Avengers like you have never seen (or heard) them before. (Whovians should also note that former Doctor #6 Colin Baker and companion Ace Sophie Aldred have joined the supporting cast) THE AVENGERS: THE LOST EPISODES The casting of Steed and Dr Keel is revealed... Big Finish Productions has signed a licence with STUDIOCANAL to produce full cast audio productions of 12 lost episodes of the classic TV series The Avengers. The Avengers first launched in 1961, and starred Ian Hendry as Dr David Keel and Patrick Macnee as the elusive and suave John Steed. Beginning with the murder of Keel's fiancée, and his sworn intent to avenge her death, that first year comprised 26 episodes. Sadly, only two of them exist in their entirety as film prints (Girl on the Trapeze and The Frighteners), while just the first act remains of the opening episode, Hot Snow. Working from the surviving scripts, Big Finish will be presenting the adaptations in three four-disc box sets. The scripts will be adapted, with minimal changes, by John Dorney, the director is Ken Bentley and the producer is David Richardson. The executive producers are Nicholas Briggs and Jason Haigh-Ellery. In the role of Dr David Keel will be ANTHONY HOWELL, who is perhaps best known for his role as Paul Milner in 21 episodes of Foyle's War. Anthony is currently filming a part in the American series Dracula; his other work includes Dirk Gently and Dungeons and Dragons: The Book of Vile Darkness. Playing John Steed is JULIAN WADHAM, whose TV work includes Downton Abbey, Midsomer Murders, Middlemarch and Blind Justice. Julian has also appeared in the films The Iron Lady (as Francis Pym), War Horse, Maurice, The English Patient, The Madness of King George and Exorcist: The Beginning. Volume 1 of The Avengers: The Lost Episodes will be released in January 2014 (and includes a full recreation of Hot Snow), with Volumes 2 and 3 following in July 2014 and January 2015.
