Just rec'd an email that "The Wasp Women" is due out next:
Edit:
The body of the email:
QuoteGreetings,
It's been very busy around here at Cinematic Titanic, but a good kind of busy. First off, we've been working on the new batch of shows for the fall and winter. As you may have heard: we're planning on settling into a delivery schedule of a new show every six weeks or so. Which means, we'll have our new offering "The Wasp Woman" available AUGUST 7th.
And hey, if you haven't picked up our current release, "Cinematic Titanic's Doomsday Machine", head over to our store and check it out.
This week we're shooting interviews for the much-anticipated Mystery Science Theater 20th anniversary box set. The producers at "Shout Factory" asked us to come to the shoot, "camera ready" and dressed as "we'd want our children and grandchildren to see us". So, I'm curious, how exactly do you pick out an outfit for something like that? And this weekend, Trace, Josh, Frank, Mary Jo and I will be traveling to San Diego to attend Comic-con on and do a special panel celebrating the 20th anniversary of MST3K. Which is also being taped for the 20th anniversary box set. It's going to feel like Christmas in July! I can't wait to watch Trace and Frank walk through the dealer's room together and cause some major MSTie frenzy! Please come by and say hello if you happen to be at the con.
Also, we just booked an unbelievably great (and huge) venue for Cinematic Titanic Live in St. Louis called Family Arena on November 1st, which is exactly a week after our homecoming show in Minneapolis at the State Theatre on October 25th. Tickets will be on sale very soon. Tickets for the State Theatre are available here.
Finally, I'm happy to announce some innovations to the website, recently it occurred to us that our site doesn't really explain what it is we're in the business of: which is selling feature length movie riffing DVDs and download to burn DVDs. So the new homepage will make that act much more direct for everyone. Check it! (soon to be live).
Next... Day? Week? Month? YEAR?! :scared:
August 7th
day before my Birthday ;)

Just got the same email..
OOO :o You get a B-day present too??
CT-002 came out 2 days after mine, so 'aren't we just the lucky ones'? 8)
Hey, live show in St. Louis announced, PSLowner will be excited.
I'll be more excited since I actually LIVE in St. Louis ;)
Man the Family Arena is huge for this sort of thing... I mean it's a hockey rink sized place. Too bad they didn't use The Pageant theater, they have a great bar and tiered seating.

Cool beans!!!!
So what's coming out next April for my b-day? ;)
As it gets closer to the STL event, we all need to find a meet up place.
Either the Ameristar Casino or one of the bars near the family arena would be cool.
Man, this news has me so happy, I do not mind that I have a two hour teleconference starting in 10 mintues with some idiots.
Looks like a winner. The last line of the trailer (Trace's, I think) actually made me cough up some Coca-Cola.
Bring! It! On!

Yeah....that was Trace!
Ah, very cool. Glad to see it so closely on the heels of Doomsday Machine!
I've only been out to the Family Arena a couple times, I don't have much memory of what's around there... I kinda avoid St. Charles, I'm a South County kind of guy ;)
I'll be there.
Yaaaaay they're finally releasing Wasp Woman. It's an early birthday present for me-- two weeks early. I thought about going to the St. Louis show instead of the Minnesota one, but I already have my ticket and it's a good seat and there's no one else to drive up with me so I might as well just bus to Minneapolis as I previously intended to do.

BTW, TeamRAD, Sicgirl, and I are planning on heading to Gameworks before and/or after the Minneapolis live show for some bowling, gaming, and all around fun. Would you care to join us?
I've only watched half of it so far, but it's really good. Looks to be the funniest one yet.
It's very odd watching them riff a movie I've become quite intimate with (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP-q6vKCG8E).
I decided to look up the imdb profile of Susan Cabot and I thought their ad at the bottom was in inadvertent poor taste.

Maybe they thought if the family had gone on more vacations her son wouldn't have bludgeoned her to death. Who knows?
They came out swinging this time, really funny stuff for the first half hour, they couldn't keep up that pace for the whole movie but it was still very good.
The interaction between them was also much better in this one.
Only weak areas were the 2 skits, Mary Jo's board meeting was OK, but I didn't think Frank's skit was very funny at all, both seemed to fall apart fast.
I've seen stuff like that a lot. For example, I was reading about a girl whose head was decapitated by her own seatbelt, and there was an advertising on the bottom offering pearl necklaces.

Those ads are semi randomly generated, I get different ads that that, looks like they are using your IP address to get your location and then generate the ads, for example I get an ad for the Baltimore aquarium on that page. They also change some of them each time you load the page.
Just watched WASP WOMAN (not "the Martha Stewart Story").
I agree the riffing started strong. But the movie itself so drab and tedious, that it kind of dragged things down for me, before the midway point. Much of the running time is devoted to bland people talking in a gray office environment. Susan Cabot's matinee idol looks (Liz Taylor crossed with 24's Reiko Aylesworth) helped a little. But Roger Corman did not break the bank making this one, filming in a boring space (observing the file cabinets, Josh quips, "I could fit that entire office on my iPhone") and relying entirely on cheesey musical cues to indicate whatever it is the audience should be experiencing.
Favorite riffs for me once again involved the body.
"Why build a porch when you can just screen-in your head?"
"That's the same file she uses on her adam's apple."
That second one by Josh was so rude, it cut through the drabness of the pic.
So WASP WOMAN was okay, but as for the "aging-woman-finds-secret-to-restoring-youth-with-tragic-consequences-in-a-movie-with-a-two-word-title-consisting-of-the-name-of-an-animal-followed-by-WOMAN," genre, I'd go with Colleen Gray in LEECH WOMAN. At least the studio dug through the stock footage bin, so we could visit Africa that time out. It also had that unforgettable dash of pineal juice.
I loved it and even enjoyed the movie in that it was such a beautiful archetype of what it was supposed to be. The story was just SO cliche that I could see every twist and turn coming a mile a way. Did NOT see the rediculous wasp costume coming. That cracked me up every time. The riffing itself was wonderful and the interplay is getting richer. "You.. don't read the internet much, do you?" Loved it. Looking forward to the next (And will be for a while, I'm sure. :^))
Hmm. I'm going through a bit of a financial low-point, so I'll wait until there's more feedback before putting out $15 + shippage and handling on the line.
Was there a signed sillouette with it? If so, was it still Trace or another riffer?
After posting that I realized that it's unlikely anyone has their copy this early. I'll just wait until it gets mailed to me and be surprised.
I'll give my 2 cents. A very good effort. Their riffs felt much more natural. It felt like a MSTK episode to me (isn't that what we want?).
Highly recommended! After the first CT episode, I was hesitant to plunk down money into their next efforts.... but after Wasp Woman... I look forward to more.
My copy should come either today or Monday, so I am ready.
Rumor has it that "trading card" this time is MJP.
Yes it is... I got mine on Friday I think. I enjoyed it quite a bit, it seems like it's taking them less time to get "casual-sounding" and not so much scripted with each release.
I followed it up with The Leech Woman, it makes a nice double-feature.
Patiently waiting on my copy. Ordered it as soon as the DVD option went live. Still not here though.
Mine not hear either.......... maybe today?
Huh. The delay in deliveries probably doesn't bode well for those of us overseas... :-\

Sheesh! Guess I better Add another day to that for us southeast folks :(
My copy arrived in Colorado on Saturday. Pretty decent riff, without the "dear lord, what happened to the film?" problems of the last release's ending.
Host segments were pretty lackluster though.

I'm not a fan of their host segments either. They seem to fall flat every time.
Yeah, I think the "time outs" need to either be a bit longer or a bit shorter, but right now they seem to be at precisely the imperfect length.
I got my Wasp Woman imported to my door yesterday and though not quite Swap Diamonds it sure does have a lot of padding in it. At the beginning as they cut back and forth to the old guy doddering down the hill it began to dawn on me that this was a Corman movie. Thankfully it sped up a wee bit as it continued.
I loved that the wasp jelly could turn guinea-pigs into rats. You would've thought a scientist would've noticed that.
I thought the riffing was great but I did notice the odd "punch in/out" riff that always sounds sort of wrong. But if anything that reminded me of mst3k a wee bit more.
And now Oozing Skull can be imported I'm patiently awaiting it too.
I watched it last night and.. well .. Maybe I just need to watch it again to give a better review cause it was ok.. :-\
It had it's moments, but it still seemed a bit scripted to me.. :(
I didn't care much for the first episode, but I loved the second. I was really thinking that they had found their swing again. I was really looking forward to The Wasp Woman, but it sort of fell flat. It was entertaining and the riffing was decent, but it wasn't nearly as funny as the second episode. The host segments really ... really ... ugh ...
I'd watch it again, but it's not as good as a RiffTrax.
Yeah, apart from a couple of decent laughs, I felt that the whole thing was a little flat. They all seem a little too relaxed... someone needs to get angry!

I was wondering about that too. Maybe Corman should have had a zoologist on staff during the making of this film.
We watched it last night. We thought it was good, but far from great. Not nearly as good as either of the last two episodes.
One line that KILLED us though:
This guy is the Pete Best of the Village People.
We both sat for about twenty seconds before we got it and then laughed so hard we had to pause it.
Anyway, it was fine, but not the best. Looking forward to #4.
I agree with several others here. Not as good as Doomsday. I thought the Buddy Rich sketch went too far in going over the top. Just my own personal opinion. If I want stuff that edgy (which I sometimes do, hench my liking of ICWXP), I'll pop in ICWXP. I didn't expect quite so much "edge" from CT. I was just surprised, that's all.
I liked it a lot - much closer to the good groove of MST3K than the other two in my opinion.
So far from 1 to 10 I'd give Oozing Skull a 5, Doomsday Machine a 6, and Wasp Woman a 7.

Downloaded 'the Wasp Woman' and Watched it 4 times.
Excellent episode and I do agree with the comments on the Buddy Rich skit.
I would rate this as my 3rd favorite. :clap:
1. Legacy of Blood 9
2. Oozing Skull 8
3. Wasp Woman 8
4. Doomsday Machine 7

Looks like PSL and I have the same taste in riffed movies.
I wrote up an episode guide for The Wasp Woman, including some interesting drama (remember that angry DVDtalk review?)
