What if Kaiju were just tiny bugs? That's the premise of "War of the Insects," the 11th film riffed by Cinematic Titanic. Here are my thoughts. livelocalman.com/2026/07/20/m...
MSTing Links: Cinematic Titanic Episode 11, ‘War of the Insects’
Has it really been so long since I revisited Cinematic Titanic? Well, let’s jump into this. The episode starts off with Dave “Gruber” Allen introducing the group at a live show. G…

From the Producers of THE MADS ARE BACK comes MOVIES ARE DUMB! The scripted riffing series that finds Chris Gersbeck, Emmy Martian and Matt Reiser watching the DUMBEST movies imaginable. The all-new Movies Are Dumb Quintuple Feature set includes the first five episodes for one low price!
March is almost over, a good time for my first blog post of the year! I decided to do a tangent in my MSTing Links write ups of Cinematic Titanic due to the discovery of a long-missing episode of @mst3kofficial.bsky.social

Yesterday was the @dumb-industries.com 2026 Dumb Drive, so I wanted to show the art piece that @joelawler.bsky.social and I collaborated on for Jackey’s art class! Joe had the amazing idea of combining Dr. Z from The Blood Waters of Dr. Z with the Dr. Z of @danagould.bsky.social and I doodled it!

@benitocereno.bsky.social I just wanted to say that seeing Hector Plasm back on shelves was a real treat. Now, when do we get more Tales from the Bully Pulpit? (Bonus sketch by Nate from 20 years ago).
King Kong vs. Godzilla, Dukakis vs. Bush, Joe's family vs. the VCR, Jonas vs. Christmas Eve. All this and a terrible Hollywood tragedy in my final blog post of 2025. livelocalman.com/2025/12/31/1...
100 Films I Haven’t Seen: ‘King Kong vs. Godzilla” (1962)
On Christmas Eve, Jonas was feeling a little overwhelmed by 20+ largely unfamiliar (to him) family members doing Christmasy stuff. He retreated to an upstairs room, and I went to check on him. Whil…

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a dinosaur on the back of a truck this week, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

The episode starts off with Joel doing a little banter and introducing the five members of the cast (including himself). I figured I would do the same with the six titles of “Danger on Tiki Island.…

In the 1930s, Titus Tart started a potato chip company, and of course he named it for himself.
