More good news on the Rifftrax MST3K Kickstarter, where I said “I think many have preferred Dr. Forrester and TV’s Frank” to be involved.
Well shiver me timbers! I spake thus, and lo, it has come to pass!
Yes, those Mads. Mike, Kevin and Bill are incredibly happy to announce that MST3K legends Trace Beaulieu and Frank Conniff will be the guest bad guys on the fourth and final show of this run.
Trace and Frank will return to their iconic roles of Dr. Clayton Forrester & TV’s Frank, taking the reins for one cheesy movie experiment (title TBD) – tormenting Mike and the bots just like in the good ol’ days.
In addition to that, Trace and Frank will be cowriting this episode along with the RiffTrax gang. We’re over the moon to work with our old friends again!
Given that Joel Hodgson is still a consultant to the whole shebang, I think this indeed counts as “Getting the band back together.”
