Talkin' RiffTrax Shorts w/ Conor & Sean
Added 2020-02-04 18:35:25 +0000 UTCHey Traxians, Conor here. Sean and I recorded two shorts recently, the first one, The Kids Guide to the Internet came out last week, and we've got another one coming out next week. We wanted to share a bit about our own experiences as people who can still remember a time before the internet, as well as fill you in on some details about the recording process (Spoiler: we both made wildly embarrassing flubs!)
Thanks to everyone who checked the first short out, the next one comes out on Wednesday, 2/12, and we'll hopefully be back with more after that!

I loved Jack Horkheimer, his enthusiasm for astronomy was infectious! I lived in Florida and he was out of Miami, I always figured he was just local.

2020-02-11 06:05:37 +0000 UTCIt would come on after Monty Python on our local PBS station... "Some people hustle pool, some hustle cars, then there's that man you may have heard of, the one who hustles STARS! Jack Horkheimer, Star Hustler!" He always wore a Members Only jacket, and started with "Greetings, Greetings!" standing in front of terrible green screen shots of the solar system. Classic!

2020-02-06 12:47:22 +0000 UTCToday I learned: Jack Horkheimer: Star Hustler changed the show's last word to "Gazer" in 1997 because they discovered that people searching for the show on the Internet were getting the website for Hustler Magazine as the first result. Gotta love those early days of the Internet.
