Last year, we saw a list of thirteen movies that would be riffed during the new season of the classic series Mystery Science Theater 3000, which is now being released through the show’s own indie streaming platform The Gizmoplex. On that list was a movie called The Christmas Dragon, which was said to be about “a group of orphans going on a journey to restore the lost magic and save Christmas.” What wasn’t mentioned at that time is that original MST3K host Joel Hodgson will be returning to riff The Christmas Dragon with current hosts Jonah Ray and Emily Marsh!
The Christmas Dragon episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 will be reaching the Gizmoplex on December 16th. The livestream premiere begins at 8pm Eastern. Here’s the information:
For the first time in Mystery Science Theater 3000 history, Three hosts will be riffing one Christmas turkey! In this very special holiday episode,...

If there were a prayer for Broadway shows it would be for all of them to be hits.
Despite good intentions, though, Leap of Faith" at the St. James Theatre is an unanswered prayer.
The idea is there -- a fake preacher swindles people, and eventually he must face his conscience.
Conning people of faith -- or into faith -- is so evil, there should be plenty of material to mine. And mounting it as a musical is a natural, paving the way for rich gospel voices (it isn't as if New York theatergoers are unreceptive to musicals with choirs; witness "Sister Act"). Composer Alan Menken, who also created the music for "Sister Act" and "Newsies," definitely knows his way around Broadway songs.
Yet as great as Raul Esparza can be -- and he was magnificent in "Company" -- this does not seem to be the right role for him.
