According to: http://mst3k.com/kickstarter/faq/rewards/#schedule these are the rewards that should be shipping right around now:

MEMBERSHIP CARD & CERTIFICATE
OFFICIAL T-SHIRTS
OFFICIAL HOODIES
POSTCARD SET

No mystery gift until after the show premiers unfortunately.

I just got a shipping notification for MST3K goods, too, complete with a picture of the new cast under the MST3K logo. Then I realized it's actually my order of a reprinted Vol. I, and not the kickstarter stuff. I have no idea why my phone used that particular picture.

Why would they make branded stuff that says "Mystery Science Theater 3000" and not stuff that says "Gizmonic Institute" :psyduck:

Joel Hodgson actually owns the rights on anything with "Gizmonic Institute" as it was his concept originally. I'm of the opinion that since he wanted a fresh start for the new MST3K he's not too much into marketing the past. Or maybe he doesn't want to approve anything from the Mallon years for fear of digging up poo poo he'd want to make money on too.

Did you ever wonder where the Romans got bread from? It wasn't from Waitrose!
Aw, we meant to do a post-Christmas stupor/Boxing Day Rifftrax-a-thon, but they've all been pulled off Amazon Prime (there were about 20 of them there, including Kingdom of the Spiders -- a twofer for me with William Shatnering it around and then seeing a childhood pal appear in the film; she lived in Camp Verde at the time).

Still, got a copy of Growing Up with Manos: The Hands of Fate: How I was the Child Star of the Worst Movie Ever Made and Lived to Tell the Story from Father Christmas and that :black101:

I'm catching up on unwatched episodes from the Shout! boxes I've accumulated (soon to be ex-wife refused to watch MST3K).

I've been pleasantly surprised how funny all of Season One is. I'm only a few episodes away from seeing the entire season (Robot Holocaust and Women of the Prehistoric Planet, maybe one more). Even The Crawling Eye and Robot/Aztec Mummy are funny.

Moon Zero Two - Seems to be trying to ape 2001 without the imagination or budget. Lots of great riffs and the host segment mocking the silly zero gravity effects is great. The opening credits even get a Trump riff.
Untamed Youth - This is exactly the sort of film I love seeing on MST3K. Not terrible, but cheesy enough. Mamie van Doren is actually really good in this and I'm surprised how the film calls out the prison work system. The tongue puppet is probably the grossest invention exchange yet.
The Black Scorpion - Not Willis O'Brien's finest moment, but a decent creature feature. I liked the bit with Gypsy's scorpion costume. This does have the weird effect with clapping every time one character talks. Also nice shadow gag with Joel and the Bots roasting weiners on an exploding volcano.

Also starting on other episodes...
King Dinosaur - So much stock footage and walking. Yeech. X-Marks the Spot is kind of dark without too much to riff. I'm guessing this is the very first short they did besides serial episodes?

I'm also watching all the terrific Ballyhoo featurettes. The one on King Dinosaur about Lippert Films was excellent. I never expected to see discussion of Samuel Fuller on a MST3K release.

What do you think sirs?

Season 1 is generally pretty solid outside of rougher skits, yes. It helps that for a lot of the movies this is their second time using them (much of season one is basically better refined KTMA scripts)

My husband bought me this 45 for Christmas. It is from the Girl in Gold Boots soundtrack featuring a couple instrumentals that aren't especially recognizable from the movie, but are in it.



I feel shamefully nerdy about owning it, but it also makes me really happy.

Girl is one of my faves. Now I just need this on vinyl:

As with many films late in Willis O'Brien's career, the special effects are pretty much the *only* pretty cool thing in the movie.

Help me identify this episode for my dad:

-has a character with bat wing helmet
-It's not Deathstalker
-Probably a Joel episode
-he thought it was "Swedish" but I don't remember such a character in Sinbad or Sampo
-might be black and white
-It's also not Batwoman

Edit: my guess -- Cave Dwellers? I can't remember what the villain's helmet looked like.

Showed him the pic and he doesn't think so. He says it was bat wings on the forehead of the helmet and that Joel/Mike and the bots had a field day with it.

He again reiterated it was black and white. It's driving me nuts too, because it does sound familiar but this may be turning into a Shazaam thing.

Maybe he's mixing some eps up? Because there's definitely the bat helmet in Deathstalker.

It could be The Sword and the Dragon/Ilyo Muromets, which was by the same director as Sampo and Sadko. The villain looked like this:




Edit: If it is in B&W like he remembers, maybe Viking Women and the Sea Serpent? Been a long time since I've seen that one.

I thought it was Deathstalker too but we watched it tonight and while he thoroughly enjoyed it, he says it's not the one.

He's now describing it as being like a football helmet with tiny bat wings on the front

I'm also guessing maybe "viking women". There's a guy with a word helmet in that.

I can't think of any black & white sword and sorcery films they watched. The only other bat-wing helmets I can think of are Deathstalker (which you already said it wasn't) and Quest of the Delta Knights.



That's Deathstalker. Delta Knights you can see four and a half minutes into this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvPzxC_HpPA&hd=1

EDIT: Forgot about Viking Women. If it's B&W it's gotta be that.

Could he be thinking of the Undersea Kingdom shorts? B&W, lots of goofy helmets...



Edit: Maybe he was remembering the hero's helmet in the later installments:



Edit 2: I scanned through Viking Women, and the villain just has a simple furry helmet with a spike on top.

Wait, i think I have it. Is it the one where a psychiatrist does hypno therapy on a woman and reveals in a past life she was burnt as a witch, everyone is talking like they are at a Ren Faire. And the Psychiatrist inceptions her and gets stuck in the past with Satan...somehow? Black and White and Has the line "There, Sure glad I Don't look stupid in this" In regards to a helmet.

I don't remember the title though.
