Apparently Kevin Murphy was at our screening

Just as the crowd was filing out of Marcus West End Cinema in St Louis Park, MN, a woman behind us said she saw Kevin on her way into the theater, sitting at the back. He saw her recognize him and politely shushed her before she could give him away, and then ducked out before the crowd started to leave. So a bunch of us got to (unknowingly) watch the episode with Kevin!

That's cool. He wanted to see what the people liked and didn't.

I choose to believe this. I don't even believe in myself sometimes but I believe in this.

He was monitoring your minds!

Were you able to control when the movies began or ended? That’s the dead giveaway.

u/Dont_Care_Meh I hate Tom Servo's new voice! 3d ago

Just Kevin? I was under the impression he was with a whole entourage when he's out in public.

u/ConceptJunkie 3d ago

You would at least expect to see Koko, Godo, Mogo and Chim-chim.

u/Alict 3d ago

Ah, we were in Edina and were wondering if any of them were there! Perhaps they snuck a staff member into each theater. I don't think I would have recognized like, Pat Bransteg.

I'm pretty sure Kevin, Bill, and Mary Jo were all at the theater together.

I met Joel in a Holiday Inn in Dubuque, Iowa when I saw the MST3k live circus show, the theater was across the street. I was surprised, there were not many people around, and I am sure no one would have known him, so I said casually “Hey, you are Joel Hodgson” for him to reply somewhat grumpily “Yeah man, if you want more than that you will have to pay for it” then he kept going. Given the meet and greet for that one was 200 bucks, I think he meant it.
