Honestly one of the most baffling things to me is how many of the host segments are long full takes. Someone laughs or flubs a line and you have to do so much over again.

i just saw the mads' "the t-bird gang" and it's fantastic. you learn how much of a beatnik frank is, and mike was great in the q and a.

think my favorite riff is "the picture of boring'n grey". and wow is the soundtrack killer. that's one of the tragedies of bad movies with good soundtracks; nobody cared enough to compile the songs

Something I really like about the Mike era is that they legitimately laugh at how stupid the movie is sometimes, it helps to make it feel more natural.

I like in the Jonah eps where they occasionally just point out cool poo poo, like practical effects that look good

Yeah, unless they go from Deep 13 to the SOL, they're no camera changes. I guess they only had one camera, and that's what you got with no jump cuts or anything.

Except for Still Store.

One thing I liked about the Netflix seasons is the in-universe unreliability of Kingachrome. It provided a nice, in-storyline excuse to cut two shots together. All you'd need to do is just float some bubbles up across the screen and splice them together.

I know it's not feasible or affordable given the profile of some of the actors involved but dang it'd be cool if they made a ~MST3k summer camp~ and all got together for a few months to shoot a season's worth of host segments with physical sets. I'm not sure if it'd even result in this, but the newer seasons lacked a certain warmth or chemistry or something that the old ones had. Felt a bit by-the-numbers and I fear that the newer season will be even more in that direction.

Yeah definitely an issue I had too. I liked the new seasons, I like the new cast, but it definitely lacked that warmth, and we could never get a Brute Man crack up moment from Mike or something like that.

I can't help but wonder how much of the weird feel of the new seasons was Netflix interference. Certainly some of it had to be new cast and writers getting the hang of things and guest writers needing to get a certain level of contribution in, but beyond that...

I'm interested to see how the new show comes out without a network leaning on anyone. What stays and what goes.

That's interesting. I could see Netflix wanting the more rapid-fire style as part of their 'binge' initiative. "If the gags slow down, they might go watch something else!"

We know for a fact that the second season is 100% due to Netflix and them trying to please their streaming overlords. Shortening the movies so much, the lesser episode count, emphasizing the BINGE nature

I heard a podcast interview where Jonah talked about this a little bit, and the interesting thing is Netflix’s changes for season 12 apparently actually worked, at least by Netflix’s metrics. More people apparently watched season 12, and they generally watched it more quickly than they watched the first six episodes of season 11. Then they canceled the show anyway.

In-universe, I don’t think there’s been any explanation, but I expect there will be in the new season. As for a behind the scenes explanation, her and the rest of her cast were hired for the last live tour, and I’m pretty sure Joel just liked them all enough that he wanted to keep using them.

It seems they were at least thinking about having multiple test subjects as early as Season 11. There was that random shot of a guy in a purple jumpsuit on his own SOL set spliced into at least one of the episodes

I gotta think that at least a bit of it is that they can't tour, so they can't pay the live show team.
