The “Rifftrax Live!” event that was recently broadcast into theaters across the country, including several here in Oklahoma, is returning to theaters next month. If you missed it the first time, I highly recommend attending this extremely amusing evening of comedy. I know my friends and I had a great time.

Bill Corbett, who portrayed the golden, sarcastic robot Crow T. Robot on the last few seasons of the movie-riffing cult TV series “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” doesn’t miss the puppeteering portion of his old gig.

But he, Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy of “MST3K” fame are continuing their movie-mocking ways with Rifftrax. And Corbett spoke to Features Editor and Nerdage blogger Matt Price about the latest Rifftrax effort: DVDs.

“Cinematic Titanic Presents Blood of the Vampires”

The movie mockers of Cinematic Titanic take on a real challenge with the dreadful “Blood of the Vampires,” an alleged horror film that manages dull, cheesy and offensive but never accomplishes scary.

Former “Mystery Science Theater 3000″ riffers Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu, Frank Conniff, Mary Joel Pehl and J. Elvis Weinstein rapidly toss out references to Twitter, “I Love Lucy,” “Sesame Street” and more in the most successful installment in their new DVD series.

MST3K fans will find plenty to adore in this four-DVD set packed with hilarious jokes, nonsensical sketches and fun special moments.

The four episodes span MST3K’s 10 seasons on national cable. Two episodes feature series creator and original host Joel Hodgson and date to the show’s Comedy Central run. The other…

Movie mocking has a new silhouette these days with “Cinematic Titanic,” the latest project from Joel Hodgson, creator of the cult hit TV series “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” and former MST3K cast members Trace Beaulieu, Frank Conniff, Mary Jo Pehl and J. Elvis Weinstein.

The group is still mocking old B movies, though they appear in a different silhouette than the trademark MST3K view of the host and the robot puppets in the bottom right corner of the screen.

For its first Christmas DVD, the…

Dr. Forrester: Ah, Joel. A hearty hello to you and yours. Let me say this about today’s invention exchange; let them eat chocolate.
TV’s Frank [dressed as an executioner] : That’s right Joel. Our invention this week is based on one’s natural inclination to bite the heads off of chocolate bunnies.
