Sorry if this has been asked recently/too often. Any news or rumors about the next season?

Joel is working on a lengthy live tour, so I wouldn’t expect them to start production of a new season until like next spring at the earliest. This tour seems like a costly proposition, which makes me think they’re confident they’ll get to do more, but personally, I trust Netflix with the show a little bit less each day.

Maybe they got cancelled on the DL, and they're using the tour to run the clock out until they can shop the show to other parties? (Netflix has those stupidly restrictive contracts, which is why One Day At A Time is going to Pop TV and not CBS All Access)

According to the Social Security Administration, 10 out of every million babies born in the US is named Gypsy. That's down from its peak of 20 out of 1,000,000 in the early 70s and another peak in the 1930s. If she is now GP-C, then we have to wonder what happened to GP-A and GP-B and if those parts were needed to control when the movies begin or end (la la la).

They also tended to make fun of Asian accents, particularly Japanese, and actors who looked a bit feminine/actresses who looked a bit masculine. Not generally overpoweringly so, but it's some flat notes in their history, I find.

People were more prone to making jokes in the 80s and 90s that nowadays we might find problematic. That can't really be helped. But there's nothing wrong with a creator acknowledging that and saying, "Going forward we'll try to be more sensitive." I'd much prefer that to someone who defensively doubles down on their offensive comment.

Yeah, there's not a LOT of jokes that get me in "what were they thinking" mode, but the ones that do... whoof.\ Example: All the male rape jokes from "The Violent Years".

Mister Kingdom posted:Are they going to go back and edit out all the offensive jokes from the original shows? RiffTrax did at least once edit a transphobic joke out of Laser Mission, one of the earlier VOD riffs. Somebody mentioned it on Twitter, and Bill responded that he had them remove it from the download at some point. I don’t know if they’ve done it with any other riffs, but they’re generally more on the ball to start with. Editing the old MST3K episodes would be tougher, but for Rifftrax they still have separate movie and riff audio tracks, so it’s probably a lot easier to do that if needed.

In conclusion, MST3K is a land of contrasts.

In conclusion, MST3K is a land of contrasts. Don't forget the seance scene in 'Wild World of Batwoman' which is... yikes. I also always liked the bit in 'Leech Woman' where the great white hunter spouts some gibberish to his native porter and Mike goes, "Clearly, he speaks African."

But that's not to start an argument. The only time I ever felt like they went too far was the beginning of The Incredibly Strange Creatures... where the jokes at the beginning... It wasn't even funny to begin with.

I felt like sometimes they went too far with fat jokes, personally. But, to be fair, they usually did it when a character was over-the-top like in Memory Bank, and they called out movies that had their own tasteless fat humor like Ring of Terror.

Yeah just a lot of jokes about how mannish one of the dancers was, giving her a deep voice, saying she had to use a lot of duct tape, etc etc.

Not related to the current discussion but the Hitler Museum is still one of the single most bizarre moments from MST3K it just shows up out of nowhere in this long stock footage that's bad enough to make Mike go out of the theatre (where there's no oxygen) and somewhere in the middle of it, HITLER *boom*
