For anyone that has yet to hear about Cinematic Titanic (Hey, it happens.), Here's all you need to know. (Provided in sections ripped off of Wikipedia. I know, I have no shame.)
Cinematic Titanic is a project by Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) creator and original host, Joel Hodgson. The project involves "riffing" B-movies, in a manner similar to that of MST3K. Joining Hodgson are many of the original MST3K cast, as well as some cast members who joined later in the show's run. These include Trace Beaulieu, J. Elvis Weinstein, Frank Conniff and Mary Jo Pehl.
Like Mystery Science Theater 3000, the series uses black silhouettes of the riffers placed over the films, but in the case of Cinematic Titanic they sit on both sides of the screen rather than just on the lower right. Visual gags are frequent (such as Beaulieu's use of a cherry picker in The Oozing Skull), and there are even two or three host segments per episode, all performed in silhouette.
Whereas Mike Nelson's own RiffTrax project produces riffs for a wide variety of films, Cinematic Titanic has to acquire the rights to the films it riffs (since the format does not allow for the riffing content to be delivered separately from the film), and as a result has tended to focus on the same sort of B-movies that MST3K did during its lifespan.
