Still a markout moment for me.
You know what I'd like to see, if only once?
A Rifftrax where it's just Mike and Joel.
And something else I'd like is if Mike guest starred in a Cinematic Titanic - there's always an empty seat there after all.

I think it'd be too disconcerting to have Mike and Joel riffing together, just as it would having Bill and Trace at the same time (and to a much lesser extent Kevin and Josh).
Though it would be interesting to see Joel and Bill together, since I think they're the polar extremes of riffing style. Both funny dudes, but Joel delivers his lines with bemused whimsy (which is why Trace's Crow complimented him well), while Bill has the harshest bite (which is why he was a natural fit with Mike).

When this episode debuted, I was excited the entire day. When Joel and Mike finally came face to face on camera, I flipped my cookies. The first time was a moment before when Joel came back and hugged the bots.

Anyone know what the current state of the MST3K professional relationship is? I'd heard/read that Joel felt that Jim Mallon sort of forced him out and it seems like their are the two camps with Mike,Jim,Bill and Kevin in one and Joel,Trace and Mary Jo in the other.

To the best of my understanding, most of the crew just moved on to other things for a while, while Mike, Bill and Kevin tried to jumpstart The Film Crew. Jim Mallon threatened to take MST3K from Rhino if Rhino distributed the Crew stuff, so it ended up sitting in a vault for a couple or three years. In the meantime, the trio signed some deals to do Legend Films, which led into RiffTrax, while the rest came together for Cinematic Titanic, but couldn't include the Crew/Trax trio because of contracts. Also, they apparently patched up things with Mallon. |

Good to here. The last article I read in the Onion made it sound like they've patched it up. Side story: Jim Mallon and Kevin Murphy were part of a group of University of Wisconsin students called the Pail & Shovel Society that did massive art pieces around Madison. One night they covered Bascom Hill on UW campus with pink plastic flamengos. The stunt was so memorable and popular that the pink plastic flamingo is now Madison's official city bird.
