Emily Marsh & Joel Hodgson Interview: MST3K Season 13

MST3K, the loving nickname for long-running series Mystery Science Theater 3000, is back and ready to mingle with movie lovers everywhere tonight. After its tragic Netflix cancellation a few years back, MST3K raised record amount of funds thanks to their Kickstarter campaign in order to go on to do season 13 with their new indie platform Gizmoplex. The hard work of fans and creatives alike has paid off, and the film roasting community will have its first watch-along episode tonight at 8pm ET.

From there to then start doing work on this season, to writing, to then getting to perform my own episodes, and to lead the Live Tour? I'd be lying if I didn't say there were moments, the night before the first day of filming or the night before the first show, where I was like,"You know what? Worst comes to worst, I'm gonna have fun. And if everyone hates me, that's alright." I was so thoroughly prepared to be like,"You know what? Failure is totally fine.

It's great to have people who really are, and are very lucid and succinct about it, to do those critical riffs; those riffs that are commenting on the culture and remarking on quirks about people that are popular. I don't feel as particularly interested in that. I have people that I work with who I really trust, and if I don't get a reference, they'll just go,"This is what it is." I don't have to catch them all at my age.

Emily Marsh: What a great question. I think I really benefited from there being a lot of people to support me through this time. I loved that for the episodes that I filmed, not only was Joel there on set, giving support and feedback, but also Jonah was there. It was so wonderful to have. Joel, you were even commenting that it was crazy to have three hosts.

Even though we work from a script, you have so many riffs. I guess each person probably has - is it 250 riffs a show? Those could all be things like a dialect, or a style of talking, or an impression, or an attitude. For each one, you kind of dial that in really quickly before you do it - and you can't really practice it. Maybe you do, but I just think that was my way of expressing it. You kind of lock it in, and then you just try to feel your way through it.
