1. Cambot... Gypsy.... Tom Sirvo....CROOOOOOOW....

I am binge watching. About half the movies are not really made for such voiceovers but they do make me hoot and howl...

2. MST3K was one of the first things my ex and I bonded over after meeting.

In retrospect, maybe that was what blinded us to all of the red flags

In early 2010 we went to see Cinematic Titanic live in suburban Detroit, and we got to meet Joel, Trace, TV's Frank, Elvis and Mary Jo after the show. In the '90s she had gone to a convention in Minneapolis and got to tour the studio where they made the magic happen. A few years back she even contributed to a Kickstarter to fund the shooting of a third season of the reboot, but it fell through, sadly.
