      The idea of the original MST3K being a "takedown" of the movie is really off the mark, and is a distortion of the MST3K spirit that got locked in when RiffTrax and stuff started riffing on actually popular movies with lots of fans MST3K was about making movies *nobody liked* funhttps://twitter.com/the_moviebob/status/1219008813061242881 …

      This is accurate. I've made this observation myself before, but: MST3K itself is an anachronism of when weird/bad movie "fandom" culture grew up around TV entertainment *not* being itself fully manipulable - you watched "what was on" and if it was bad or boring you joked. https://twitter.com/sadydoyle/status/1218957442035388416 …

      The Joel Era is very much in line w/horror host shows of the '70s and '80s -- Elvira, Morgus, (Son of) Svengoolie. Some ridicule but mostly affectionate. Movies' badness the point of watching. Mike Era is more about ridicule. These movies are bad and we're here to mock them.

      And that arguably is the RiffTrax ethos as well. Could be competent or even decent movies... we're still gonna make fun of them. Always seemed a bit more corrosive to me. YMMV.

          Hasn't that always been known, tho? Bill Corbett has always been openly left-wing, so I wonder if they get along well when they're not touring together.

          FWIW I've never heard a negative word about Nelson from inside the comedy sphere - related to politics or otherwise. I agree the difference between his and Joel's "era" stylistically is "bad movies as part of the whimsical art piece" versus "PG bro humor about how bad they are"..
