Cinematic Titanic, the live-performance movie-riffing franchise from former members of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (Joel Hodgson, J. Elvis Weinstein, Trace Beaulieu, Mary Jo Pehl, and Frank Conniff) has announced that they will be recording two upcoming performances in Minneapolis, MN, for future release as live DVDs. To date, the outfit has released ten DVDs, three of them taken from live performances. On September 15-17th, CT will be at the Parkway Theatre in Minneapolis presenting three films: War of the Insects (a Japanese film originally titled Genocide), Rattlers (a 1976 killer-snake movie which might be the funniest film they’ve riffed to date) and repertoire favorite Doomsday Machine, now with new riffs. The first two films will be recorded. CT also has a tour lined up which will take them through late 2011 and early 2012; dates are below. Thanks to Satellite News for the details.
