Mystery Science Theater 3000 creator Joel Hodgson talks about riffing on movies for the first time in almost a decade.
On November 24th, 1988, the first-ever episode of Joel Hodgson’s classic series Mystery Science Theater 3000 premiered on a local station in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 30 years later, the 12th season of the show (and the second in its rebooted guise with new host Jonah Ray) will begin streaming on Netflix.
Before breaking out the celebratory turkey day meal, however, Hodgson has to finish getting ready for the upcoming 30th anniversary live tour, which kicks things off on Tuesday, October 9th with a show in Portland, Maine. What’s more, the comedy writer, director, producer, and actor has his work cut out for him, more so than usual. Why? Because he’ll be donning the red jumpsuit once worn by his MST3K character Joel Robinson for the first time in 25 years.
