I have to give an initial shout out to Fantabulizer for reminding me that, despite the end of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (or, as I call it, "the greatest show ever"), Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett are still riffing away on bad movies as The Film Crew.
The three men are back in form riffing on wacky B movies, though this time they're not channeling through plastic puppets. Instead, their riffing is done like any ol' DVD audio commentary for movies that don't have commentaries, but should. You can go to their site now and vote for which of four movies you'd like to see them skewer first. Also, check out a trailer here. Sure, it's not quite the same as being back on the Satellite of Love, but it put this long-time fan back in his high school days where he began to amass his collection of VHS copies of MST3k taped from his parents' gigantic satellite dish.

I saw this guys live in San Francisco last year and they were great! They riffed "Daredevil" and if I closed my eyes, it was like hearing MST3K.
FYI, you're not the only one who is/has amassed a collection. I lost my VHS tapes somewhere along the way, so I'm getting DVDs from various sources on the net. It's great "background music" when I'm working!

Michael J. Nelson also has a website called RiffTrax where he and special guest stars will riff on more recent fare like the Matrix and Lord of the Rings.
