Old, MST-era Joel Interview

An interview Joel did promoting MST3k back in the day.  Not a lot of stuff that hasn't been said elsewhere.  But I thought the things he says starting at about the 07:42 mark about why MST didn't do big, popular, current movies has some relevance to today.  Might explain at least part of why Joel hasn't guested on a Rifftrax yet.

All you need is the text after the = sign inside the YouTube button, so in this case "uGvXE7VI2Dg".

He made some good points. I never knew he felt that way about film, nor was I aware he could be so eloquent.
Good find!

Interesting...

We just got Joel Rolled!

[doggans]

What about "RickJoeled"?

Oops!  Wrong link.  Sorry, I had too many tabs open.  This is the one I meant:

Oh, I thought we were supposed to play along.

[Janitor]

All you need is the blah after the blah blah = sign blah blah YouTube button blah blah blah.

[eegah]

Oh, I thought we were supposed to play along.

I was kind of disappointed that I wasn't "Joel Rolled".

Between the blurry old video tape and those black framed glasses Joel looks kind of like Elvis Costello!  Good find, I'd never seen that before.
