Cinematic Titanic was a project by Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) creator and original host, Joel Hodgson.[1] The project involved "riffing" B-movies, in a manner similar to that of MST3K.[2] Joining Hodgson were some of the original MST3K cast, as well as some cast members who joined later in the show's run.[3] These included Trace Beaulieu, J. Elvis Weinstein, Frank Conniff and Mary Jo Pehl.[4] It was first performed live on December 7, 2007, and first aired on December 22, 2007.
On February 16, 2013, it was announced that the touring portion of Cinematic Titanic was going on an indefinite hiatus. According to an email sent out to members of the site, due to "5 people living in 5 different cities with different lives and projects, it has become increasingly difficult to coordinate our schedules and give Cinematic Titanic the attention it requires to keep growing as a creative enterprise and a business."[5] The final tour began on September 23, 2013.[6][7]
