After the end of "MST3K", Murphy spent the year 2001 going to a different movie every day (including September 11) and wrote a book about this experience, entitled "". During his year at the movies, Murphy samples theatres from small-town boxes to urban megaplexes, attempts (and rejects) a theatre-food diet, suffers a kidney stone, visits both the Sundance and Cannes film festivals, sneaks Thanks-giving dinner into a showing of "Monsters, Inc.", and records all of these experiences, both good and bad. His feat — viewing 360+ films on four continents — was mentioned in Ripley's Believe It or Not.

Murphy holds a B.A. in Journalism and an M.A. in Directing for the Stage and Screen, both from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Murphy lives in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area with his wife, Jane.

Starting in 2006, Murphy has joined Michael J. Nelson on many audio commentaries for Nelson's RiffTrax service.
