Not that Cinematic Titanic sucked balls or anything, it just didn't have host segments and robots.
Rifftracks is OK but.......
Yeah, it would be nice to get something like a full Mystery Science Theatre 3000 snarking again of some really bad film. It's a damn shame the original show just never had the audience to be supported as a commercial enterprise. Sort of the reverse of Siskel & Ebert, who started on PBS then moved to commercial television. This might have been successful enough to work if they could have done it on Public Television.
To do it for real requires paying for the usage rights of the films to be critiqued. Rifftrax had to be done the way it was because duplicating the whole movie to comment upon it would be copyright infringement. Doing a separate audio comment track is, however, perfectly legal.
