Hi Joel! Been a fan for almost the full 25 years, i firsy started watching back in highschool. I was so excited to see Cinematic Titanic this month at the Calvin in Northampton. I took my two teens, who also are fans, and was thrilled to get to meet you and the others. I was kind of so overwhelmed to meet you in person that I'm sure I came off a complete doofus - didn't get to say all I wanted to. So here it is - thank you, you and all the others who gave us so many years of absolutely side-splitting laughter. My favorite memory is of my husband and I spending a very high weekend watching MST3K back in the 90s!

One thing I definitely want to thank you for in particular - thank you for always calling out or booing the racism and sexism in those cheesy movies. As a woman, I really appreciated that, to see a group of guys who mostly didn't engage in that kind of cheap humor, and in fact, called it out for what it was. Huzzah!

Love both those ladies for their various appearances on the show (especially liked them together as the Amazon women/moms in space with the midwestern accents) through the years, and their writing too!

And now I'm off to swoon, JOEL answered my comment!

Hello Mike, Kevin and Bill! Long time listener, first time caller. I have been been a fan of both MST and Rifftrax for almost 25 years now, going back to high school. I love all the various incarnations of the riffing casts over the years, and would love to eventually see a reunion of sorts. In his AMA last November, Joel responded positively to the suggestion of being a Rifftrax guest riffer (see here ) - is there any possible way you can make this dream of so many of your fans come true?! What do you say to a Rifftrax + Joel project? Why hasn't it happened yet? Are you still wearing his tube socks??

Thanks, and can I get a "I regret nothing!"??

Yay! My husband's favorite riff is from Untamed Youth... During one of the dancing scenes I think it was Joel who says (while the camera focuses on a particularly goofy dancer), "Ask me about my extra chromosome!"

I was actually going to ask Joel to sign that for my husband at the CT show, but was too tongue tied, haha.

This would be amazing!! I love all the cast, in all it's various incarnations, so much.
