The $85 tier's still a pretty good deal - at least 11 episodes plus the soundtrack - but not as good a deal as it was before. Anybody who pledged before the change still gets all 10 that's the "no longer available" listing I saw under my pledge. I'd expect it to get fixed before too long.ĮTA Apparently they only meant to include 5 classic episodes on the $85 tier, not all 10, and they've changed the listing to reflect that.
I'm also seeing that the $85 digital reward tier is listed as "no longer available", which feels like it's probably a mistake I doubt they meant to put a limit on the number of people who could choose that reward tier. There's also a still-pretty-expensive but not quite so eye-watering $140 option that just includes the 45 episodes that weren't part of the $300 bundle on the last Kickstarter.

(I assume it's every original-series episode they currently have the rights cleared for anyway, here's a full list.) Kickstarter's also added a bundle of 130 episodes for $400, which is.well, a lot less than you'd be paying to get those episodes individually, but good Lord that's a lot of money to spend on MST3K. (Not to be crass, but Hart and Williams are both 79 years old, so the rights situation with those films could change any time.)
The other 7 are rated "extremely unlikely" - it's the 5 Susan Hart movies, the Wade Williams movie, and the Godzilla movie. They're watching Quest of the Delta Knights (with tonight's guest Mary Jo Pehl), which, as previously noted, is something of a big deal since it's one of the 11 remaining episodes that have never had an official release.Īs for the 10 others: there are 3 Olive Films movies that seem like the rights may be available in the not-too-distant future (Fire Maidens from Outer Space, The Deadly Bees, The Space Children) - and hey, that's 4, that's enough for another DVD box set, for those who are into the whole physical media thing. (Given that Joel's planning to host an episode if the Kickstarter hits a certain threshold, I wouldn't be surprised if Josh played Servo in that episode, either.)Īnd this'll be tonight's stream, once it starts: I haven't finished watching it, but apparently they announced Josh will appear as Larry in the upcoming season, as well as writing for it. Last night they screened Untamed Youth, with most of the Servos (no Kevin). (And he seems freakishly tall, though I think part of that is that Tom and Crow are farther down in their seats than usual.) They're pretty good, though I find it frickin' distracting that the middle silhouette is clearly not Joel's. I didn't know who Georges Melies was at the time, I just knew the visual style in the video was wild and didn't look like anything else on TV, M or otherwise.Īlso the two new shorts are in the video (they played during the Turkey Day marathon too). I never watched a lot of MTV, but we got cable around the time that video was in heavy rotation and I freakin' loved it. Some of it sucks (I made it a couple minutes into the interview with the TP puppet and fast-forwarded I'm not too good for poop jokes and I think there's some humor to be mined from a sentient roll of toilet paper, but this was just lazy jokes delivered in an ear-splitting falsetto), but most of it's pretty good, and the real highlight is the interview with Wayne White, the puppeteer who played Randy on Pee-Wee's Playhouse and who I learned is also the guy who made this music video: The next Mads riff ( shorts and cartoons, Tuesday, January 12, 8 PM EST) will add a third Mad, Mary Jo Pehl.Īlso, I watched nearly all of that Puppet Camp video I embedded at the top of the page, and there's some great stuff in there.
