MST3K’s Joel Hodgson Says He’d Be Open to Guesting on RiffTrax!

Joel Hodgson, creator of Mystery Science Theater 3000, was answering questions on Reddit today to promote the MST3K Turkey Day Marathon and 25th Anniversary DVD Set.

Reddit user torgo10 asked:

Would you be open to guesting on a Rifftrax? Finally having Joel and Mike together riffing a movie would be the ultimate love letter to fans.

Joel answered:

I would say yes. I think it will happen when the time’s right.

Joel and Mike riffing a movie together?? Mind=Blown

RiffTrax is, of course, fellow MST3K cast members Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett continuing the MST3K tradition of commenting on bad movies. Hodgson also has his own group of former cast members, Cinematic Titanic, starring himself, Trace Beaulieu, J. Elvis Weinstein, Frank Conniff, and Mary Jo Pehl.

Other than Mary Jo Pehl appearing on the RiffTrax riff of Glitter in 2007, the two separate groups haven’t done much together besides convention appearances, so having Joel appear as a guest on Rifftrax would be a pretty big deal! And maybe it would open the door to having a full on reunion riffing event! Please make this happen.
