Mystery Science Theater 3000: C/D, S/D.

“They’re doing it clown style, no!”

omg that was hysterical

and DIRTY lmao

And now into another classically weird Russo-Finnish production. (It’s a riff on the Kalevala as the intro sorta explains. Get ready for sampo.)

“Now there’s something you don’t see everyday....Kiss going bass fishing.”

man this movie is wild

“Welcome; Gregg Allman!”

Oh near the other fundraiser short.

Neat rather!

Haha good ol’ Night of the Blood Beast — but you’d think they’d do the Thanksgiving variant!

"Uh, yeah, in our country it's customary to throw GASOLINE on a new couple!"

(finally able to join for just a bit, feels like the right way to cap the day and wind down)

i took a mouthful of coffee right when “the dogs keep burying me & digging me up” and i nearly died omg

it’s a slow burn but god this one still cracks me the fuck up

"In the meantime, I'll just roast!"

the canary noises during every closeup

aww this fan-letter

<3

Ah, had to miss that — what did it say?

wow i forgot how fucking nuts this movie's plot was

@Ned - it was from a couple who got to know each other because of MST in 2014, have had an MST wedding... like the show has really been part of the rhythm or the story of their relationship.

Nice — they’ve had a number of those kind of personal stories today. Really lovely.

As mentioned have had to step away — what’s the movie now?

Cry Wilderness, that really weird Bigfoot-befriends-kid movie from the Netflix era.

I still am amazed that one exists.

Apparently I won something. I wonder what?

Crist Ballas really did some great work for the original run of the series -- if you can help out, please consider it!

This is Crist Ballas, who did detailed makeup work on #MST3K (Mike Nelson's Jack Perkins, for example) and for Trace's DVD project "The Frank." He has heart failure and could use some help with medical bills.

Re-reboot

I'll gladly help fund a reunion of the Hodgson/Beaulieu/Chaplin/Murphy/Nelson/Pehl/Coniff team. Short of that, I've had my fill.

yeah, i still haven't made it through all the Netflix episodes, and at this point i doubt i ever will. :-/ i've tried popping it on to unwind at night but the overstimulated fear-of-silence riffing just doesn't mesh with the kind of chill i'm looking for.

The best spirit-of-MST these days has easily been The Mads Are Back livestreams that started up last summer. One a month and they've all been delights.

I do follow Rifftrax and yeah, that's a partnership that's been pretty great. (That said, per upthread comments when Mike's more questionable choices blew up again last summer, sometimes you gotta wonder about that family.)

KS video leaked early

Hmmm.

having their own app seems pointless, why not just put it on Shout Factory's thing or even just their Youtube channel?

Yeah the fact that Shout Factory coowns MST3K with Joel is my big sticking point here.

I mean, I have multiple sticking points at this point of sticking.

Well, that too!

I suspect I'll do exactly what I did with the last one -- contribute $1 and see what the updates say.

The first time around, I definitely gave good.

the Pluto TV app for Roku has a channel that shows MST3k 24 hours a day year round

My go to when firing that up for background noise while working but I’ve noticed they do seem to be rerunning some of them much more frequently than others. Especially the coiley short.

Anyway, up and running. Now, who has a spare $25,000?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mst3k/makemoremst3k

I’ll take a servo @ 7.5K (i do not have that money)

You've got kids, make them earn their keep

I do not!

smh at Ned's .xls error

Corrupted data. I blame society.

Anyway I do appreciate the cost breakdown

Also they're already up to about half a million so I suspect they'll hit their 6.6 million ultimate stretch goal with ease.

$25k doesnt include shipping on the various merch rewards, so really its like $25,012.50 - nice try, Joel
