drat, good news. Never thought they would all realize that now is their chance to make it happen in the prime of making fun of things for a living, except with a little class and setup compared to the others.

Wonder if it will be season 12 or whatever it would be officially, or if it will be season 1 "new" MSt3k. If they had the old seasons as well it would justify Netflix a little more which is increasingly becoming a only sometime subscription.

While doing the Kickstarter reward thing they had an option to buy a box set of the new season and they listed it as Season 11.

Yea I should probably reserve my excitement until we hear some jokes, but with a cast and crew like this I'm cautiously optimistic!

Joel and Jonah did a short at the Rifftrax MST3K reunion show and it was really funny.

Well your dad was kinda right if the synopsis I read was accurate, the edit was really noticeable and I haven't even seen the film. I hope no one ever made that defence of Sidehackers though.

Yeah, the story of making MST: the Movie was that the studio forced them to make a super short movie under the odd impression that people didn't want to see comedies that were over 80 minutes. That's why the thing was edited to hell and back.

Future War's overall premise isn't abjectly terrible. You could probably even keep the "nun-to-be undergoing a crisis of faith" angle.

Future War feels like a movie that had something go catastrophically bad behind the scenes and they ended up finishing the movie by just kind of salvaging what footage they had left. There's the obvious problems like cardboard camera but then you have stuff like the train scene where they get on a train, ride it for a little bit and all of a sudden they're off and walking back to the house. Or the scene where the guy starts to explain his backstory and it cuts in suddenly with the nun summarizing it instead.

The shorts kind of disappearing had more to do with Syfy than any desire on their behalf. Also I'm assuming shorts were harder to come by back in the day but now with the internet they're all over the place.

I think it'd be a little weird for MST3k to tackle shorts/movies that Rifftrax did (and that goes for the other way around). That said some movies/shorts are so "classic" and notorious that they go beyond one show and become open fodder for everyone. "One Got Fat" definitely fits in that category.

Rifftrax actually has gone back and done multiple things that were from MST3K. Cinematic Titanic also redid that horrible Santa Claus and the Martians movie.

It's been a while since I watched the episode but I want to say they already had the money which they embezzled from the government grants they got to develop the tripolydine. Although you'd think someone would think up a good use for such a highly explosive fuel and they could sell it for more than "Ten mil."

Joel mentioned in Soultaker that Crow must've changed his bowling pin, so it'll probably be something along those lines.

When the Syfy version started they explained away the personality change by saying that Crow had been stuck on the SOL for centuries by himself.

Has Netflix ever released an original series one at a time, or do they always roll out the entire series at once? The thought of fourteen new MST3Ks at once is dizzying, but I think I'd rather have it spread out, personally.

Not "original" original but the Canadian show Between released episodes weekly because it was also airing on Canadian TV at the same time.

Chelsea Handler's show is probably the only thing they actually produce that was put on weekly, because it is a talk show. Everything else is through distribution deals.

The plot and script for Final Sacrifice isn't that bad, it is pretty much all in the actual production. Where they just obviously don't have the money to do it justice.

For an example of how rough these episodes are, in Invaders From the Deep, Joel introduces himself as Joel Hodgson, there isn't anything with the Mads to start and he doesn't even have the bots on stage with him. Also the movie just runs for over 2 minutes before Joel even shows up in the theater.

I'm nearly finished with my complete re-watch of the show and after watching The Girl in Gold Boots, I have to ask which movie had the least likeable cast?

High School Big Shot is a front runner. Nobody is likeable, even the protagonist. At least in Gold Boots, Michelle & Critter semi-redeem themselves at the end (Michelle gets away from the sleazy guys and Critter turns them in and goes to the Army).

Critter and Michelle get married at the end but I get the feeling that extrapolated out the marriage doesn't last because Michelle feels like Critter is always talking down to her. He comes off as real condescending throughout the movie. Also if Critter didn't want to be in the Army why did he come back to America?

Amazon Prime streaming has several Rifftrax movies on it. I watched Mega Force on sunday and wow, I forgot how dumb that movie was!

The weird thing about that is they also got the non riffed versions of a lot of Rifftrax movies. So now you can watch regular Mega Force without all those extra "jokes" added in.

So re-replying to this post because Joel actually explained how to get the KTMA episodes if you didn't back the Kickstarter. Basically you go to https://mst3k.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders/68623 and the $40 buy in gets you a bunch of stuff and the lost episodes.

I'd forgotten how overtly tone-deaf I Accuse My Parents is from start to finish. It's like it was written by an alien who learned about society from reading Goofus and Gallant cartoons. Also the Gypsy lip sync segment just struck me funny and I lost it for awhile. I'd seen this one most recently before my rewatch and I still somehow completely forgot about it. I hope the show maintains some of its earnest goofiness, as hard as that is in this self-aware, postmodern age for comedy.

I'm still confused as to how Jimmy having absentee parents caused him to write bad checks and get involved with the mob.

The Violent Years is funny just because of the wonky bit where the girls are hired by communists to trash their school.
