Please join me in saying a fond farewell to the Boomer, who for eleven years was our brave and stalwart companion, and whose heart was just too big for this world. No doubt he's now chasing every critter he can find through the hills of Valhalla.

Thirty years ago, within a month, I quit my job, got married and started helping my crazy friends make into a real TV show. Best career choice I ever made.

I’m fine. I’m good. I’m givin’ out Halloween candy. I’ve been on a personal side-trip that will keep me occupied for a while more. I’ll be back to riffing soon. So thank you for your love and concern. Wishing you all a Full-Size-Candy-Bar kinda Halloween. -kwm

It gave me great joy to help make it and it gives me even more joy to know it still lightens people’s hearts. Thank you

MST3K is where I head whenever life seems bleak and I am in desperate need of a good belly laugh. For those "I'd rather laugh than cry" days. It has never let me down. #Crowandhisbeak #helpsmybleak

In the Long Hall of the Old Library at Trinity College in Dublin and if you call it the Harry Potter Library I will murder you with a bust of Cicero.

Good Peoples: The Rifftrax studio has been disinfected, fresh windscreens on the microphones, a suitable minimum social distance between the riffers and a whole slew of new titles lined up.

Happy Birthday , Playwright, Screenwriter, Songwriter, Riffer, Joke-Crafter, Podcaster, Husband, Dad, Colleague; and My Friend, and he's good at all of them. I mean really good. ...Better than I am, and I bet he knows it... ...Jeez, what a dick.

Holy cats - is sixteen years old. Thank you for laughing along with us, sharing our weirdness. Our fans give us more joy than I could ever imagine. And I can imagine a lot of joy.

My friends, this year I resolve, every day, bit by bit, to eat the My Pillow I found in a dumpster. Join me on this epic adventure.

A sincere and most heartfelt thanks to everyone who came out to our thirtieth (!) Live show last night, to everyone who has attended any of our live shows, indeed to anyone who has enjoyed our stuff over the years. It’s joyous and humbling to be able to do what we do.

As someone who avoids making political statements on this platform, I have no issue stating that, in my earnestly apolitical opinion, Ted Cruz is a titanic dipshit. I’m talking giant old Tastee-Freeze display-sized dipshittery. I welcome your arguments to the contrary.

When I read Watership Down as a kid and Fiver dies, I found myself weeping uncontrollably. My dad snickered at me for getting so emotional over a book about rabbits, I told him to put down his stupid Ludlum and read it. He did, and then apologized.

This is my uncle, Doc Rock, who died yesterday at 92 after living one of the most compassionate and exemplary lives I know. And he was funny as hell. He's one of my heroes and I'll miss him.

"I think it's really important to take care of ourselves while we're taking care of other people." Sad to hear the news of the loss of Dr. William Rock, our 2010 Person of the year. For more information on Dr. Rock, click here: bit.ly/2Jv8NW1

My dear sister-in-law Monica passed peacefully yesterday, her loving man at her side. My brother Matt, her full-time caregiver for months, faces some daunting financial challenges. I've set up a GoFundMe in Monica's memory. Any help is welcome.

Casablanca was a delight. A roast if you will. One of my all-time favorite movies. Twilight is an awful film but it's so earnestly dopey it was great fun. Riffing the Transformers movies nearly killed us.

So what's harder to riff - a genuinely great movie or a genuinely abysmal one?

Let's end this sham: all broth is made with bones. Calling it "bone broth" is like calling it "tuna fish." There. Full stop. And don't none of you fuckers lecture me on this.

Hi, I’m a Computer Hacker in a movie. No matter how sophisticated the security is on the system I’m Computer Hacking Into, after a few keystrokes I’ll say, quietly, “We’re in.”

I vote that from hereon we forever cease using the suffix "-gate," and if a genuine need arises for a suffix we only use "-clusterfuck." All in favor?

I think of the number of amazingly talented people who have been part of . It gave me insight into what real collaboration can look like. I'm grateful for every moment of it. Happy 30th, all of you.

The first time I was eligible to vote in a national election I voted for, and campaigned for, Jimmy Carter. I have never, EVER, regretted voting.

This is Vida. She was taken from her mother way too young to be sold off as breeding stock, and when she didn't sell was stuffed in a shit-stained pen until Jane came and fell in love with her. She's a ragamuffin and a rascal and we love her. #NationalDogDay2018

Hi! I'm a kitchen in an average movie home. I'm 600 square feet with a Wolf 8-burner range and a double door Sub Zero fridge. Just like every kitchen in America.
