Comedian/writer/intergalactic treasure Joel Hodgson no longer owns the rights to his Mystery Science Theater 3000 characters and rickety puppets (Gypsy, Tom Servo, Crooooow!), but he still rules—with kingly scepter and glacial drawl—over the domain of Making-Fun-of-Shitty-Movies-istan. These days, Hodgson tours with the MST3K gang under the name Cinematic Titanic, performing live commentary on films like The Oozing Skull and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians with droll perfection. If you're not in love with the MST3K model of spinning cinematic shit into comedy gold, well, that's embarrassing for you. Awkward. Try again.
