<steps up to the mic> Mr. Hodgson, Cinematic Titanic seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular? Nah, that's no good. Lemme think. I know: What do you think about the other efforts led by Mike Nelson like Rifftrax & The Film Crew? Is there a reason that you, Pearl, TV's Frank & Dr. Forester have split from Mike, Brain Guy & Tom Servo? I'm overjoyed that there are multiple efforts but why?
Ok, nix that one too. Ok, third time's the charm: How much of the invention of the new show is coming from mother necessity's demand that it be distinct from mst3k, and how much is just ideas that sprung up on their own?

Has your Communications degree helped you at all in the entertainment industry (an anecdote perhaps)? Especially with all the marketing you've personally been doing for CT- seems like someone listened up in some PR classes!
Many are taken aback because of the strong marketing present in every interview- it's just a side we have never really seen before. It's like when a man has had a beard for such a long time and they shave it off and you're not sure if you like it or not because it's so weird to see that person without facial hair.

From what I've ready, you retained the rights to all things Gizmonic, but you didn't use it in CT--how come?
There's been a lot of fan reaction to CT-- lots of good, some bad. What are your feelings on it? Any particular fan comments that made an impression on you or that you'd like to comment on?
What is YOUR favorite type/genre of movie to riff on?

My fiancee was wondering why given Mr. Robinson's professional and potential hazardous work at Gizmonic did he wear a short-pants jumpsuit. Similarly, why do you, Mr. Robinson, love shorts so much?

What are some of your fondest memories from the MST writer's room? A joke that really killed, or the first time a running gag was made, or one of the jokes you made that you're proudest of?
MST and CT referenced classic shows and movies like Monty Python, Firesign Theater, and The Mod Squad. What "old" shows would you recommend to those fans who are too young to remember the '80s?

Had there been a second season at KTMA, were there any movies looked at that you remember considering for the show?

<pours third "Ankle Breaker" (a Tiki Drink) turns off TIKI BAR TV, clears throat and asks..>
Dear Joel, 1. When did you decide to return to the Riffing buisness? Did Mike's sucess with Rifftrax influence your decision?
No further questions.

Wow, I must be on a different wavelength than most of you. I can only come up with hard-hitting, potentially offensive questions. Honestly, though, in the recent interviews I've read, Joel's answers all seem so stale and overly thought-out... I mean, God bless him -- and thanks for doing this, Ron -- but I just don't think there's anything I want to ask him. I think I'd be more inclined to interview Trace, Mary Jo or- well, any of the others. Anyway, I'll go flog myself for criticising Joel now.

Will there be guest riffers? And would you be willing to have fans write jokes or appear in movies?

Joel, you've recently come out and said that you left the show to save it because you feared that the fights with Jim Mallon would tear the show apart. So what I'd like to know is, around what time did the fighting really start, and what were you arguing about specifically? I've heard that it was regarding creative aspects of the show, but what aspects? And when you did decide to leave, how did you break it to the rest of the group? Wow, I must be on a different wavelength than most of you. I can only come up with hard-hitting, potentially offensive questions. So ask! I'd love to know what you're thinking Hugh. If they're not appropriate for what RAD wants to do, so be it, but there might be a chance that your questions are ones that others have been wondering about too...Nothing wrong with asking a question! But anyway, thanks RAD for setting this up!

Well, everyone already got all of the good questions. So...
How come you never wore glasses during the host segments?
Joel, did ya ever hang around a gymnasium? Joel, do you like movies about gladiators? Joel, have you ever been in a Turkish prison? What is your favorite color?

Joel, how do you think the internet is changing the way that people consume information? Is this a good or bad thing, and what does it mean for artists?

Joel- I understand you have twelve movies selected for use with CineTit. Is the financial backing in place to do the remaining eleven, if future releases see the same, or slightly less, quantity of orders as The Oozing Skull?
BTW- "Skull-Quest?"=LOL!

Joel- BTW- "Skull-Quest?"=LOL! Joel, how bad do you think a pun have to be before it's funny? I still don't think the Skullquest or Hempisphere ones are funny and I normally love puns. Maybe it's me...
