How many other Joels could Mike possibly be referring to? It makes me wonder how many other MST3k fans are going "Joel who???" Okay, I guess I'm slow, but are we talking Joel Hodgson? How does that pertain to what was going on on screen? Keanu's standing there with Trinity and geek boy runs up to them... I don't get it.

Oh one question there's a riff that baffles me... "What did you do with Joel" (after annoying young man runs up to Neo and slobbers all over him), It is my belief that it is in reference to our Joel. I know Mike has said in past interviews that many fans asked "what did you do with Joel?", after he took over. I think the question we should be asking is, does that geeky, fan boy kid represent what he thinks of us as fans?

I think he's just going on about a recognizable type of fan that he has to deal with from time to time. The over the top, intense and obsessed fan who appears to have nothing better to do with his life than fixate on some media personality and get them to pay attention to them. The vast majority of us fans I think Mike, Bill and Kevin like just fine. We are enthusiastic and we support the show where it counts but at the end of the day, we have lives that don't have to include a daily fix of Rifftrax , Cinematic Titanic nor MST3K.

sooooo, he's teasing guys that spend all day making websites about what they watch on a daily -need that fix- basis?
Ha, ha, I'm glad I'm not one of those sorry bastards...
D-OH! ;D

D-OH! ;D Hmmmm eh, it doesn't bother me, I laugh when they make fun of others, so it's okay if he wants to tease an obsessed fan like me, And to be honest, the hours I've spent on research, development. The attention to detail - all that work I've put into the site, all the time watching and studying each episode... it is excessive and well, geeky. If I'm one of the targets of that riff, what the hell, I can laugh at myself and I take it as an honor. Me and Rick Sloan we're blood brothers now. ;D

Wow, that was the funniest one I've seen, almost without doubt. I was almost falling out of my chair so many times. A great mix of classic MST-style references and new stuff.
The film was even worse than I remembered though. A lot of bad movies wizz their potential down their legs, but this one was practically crapping down its leg at times. It was a bit tough to stick it out by the very end - that was the only thing I could find wrong with the rifftrax experience. Still, it was the funniest thing I've seen in quite a while.
