It Has RETURNED... Sort Of....

[KROW]

Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett, and Kevin Murphy have re-emerged from near-obscurity as The Film Crew, once again taking cheesy movies and slicing them up for our comedic pleasure.

After the sad demise of Mystery Science Theater 3000, which was first created by former prop-comic Joel Hodgson and later helmed by the aforementioned Nelson, fans around the globe were wondering what happened to the characters and stars of the hit television show which was about a jump-suited man (Joel, then later Mike) stranded in a space satellite who would be forced to watch horrible films from the past with the help of robot friends Tom Servo (Murphy) and Crow T. Robot (Corbett). Several websites offered scant clues as to their whereabouts, but nothing whetted the appetite for those whom wanted the essence of what MST3K brought to the table.

Then, lo and behold, the beloved Mike Nelson resurfaced with a project dubbed Rifftrax, in which he takes popular movies, such as Star Wars and soon 300, and adds the MST3K quips throughout. During these Rifftrax, he would surprise fans with guest appearances by Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett to spice things up. It was a close similarity, but still not quite beholding of what MST3K was: picking on badly made films of yesteryear.

But now, Mike Nelson has joined forces with his old colleagues Murphy and Corbett to form The Film Crew, once more bringing wit and whimsy to the humdrum plots and points of crappy cinema.

Rejoice, MSTies! The tapes have begun circulating once more!
