Not sure we need a backstory that can't just be covered in the opening theme.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Not sure we need a backstory that can't just be covered in the opening theme. In the not-too-distant future -- Next Sunday, A.D. -- There was a guy named Jonah, Not too different than you or me. He drove a shuttle through outer space, Helping people all over the place; He was lured to Moon Base Thirteen, And captured by Mad Scientists To use in their evil scheme. We'll send him cheesy movies, The worst we can find. He'll have to sit and watch them all, And we'll monitor his mind. Now keep in mind he can't control When the movies begin or end, Because he used the extra parts To make his robot friends. Robot roll-call: Cambot Gypsy Tom Servo Crow! If you're wondering how he eats and breathes And other science facts, Just repeat to yourself "It's just a show, I should really just relax For Mystery Science Theater 3000."

Honestly, realizing there will be new MST3k episodes still kinda makes me wanna scream. The effects in the trailer are so cheap! IT'S PERFECT.

I can't remember - did the original Mads ever actually refer to their scheme as "Mystery Science Theater 3000"?

As far as I can recall no, it's more than likely just a branding thing, they wanted to get the title in there. So we know of at least one movie though. I'm a teensy bit worried about what looks to be nudity in the trailer, I really hope they don't feel a need to amp up the edgy factor.

I've just been burned before by a show I really like getting a reboot on a channel with more leniency towards things of that nature and it suddenly become hot garbage due to it.

The nudity in the trailer literally is censored. Tom Servo is floating over the censor bars. They've done it before with Cinematic Titanic as well. I had a friend over recently who saw Hercules vs. The Moon Men in my queue and asked "What's that?". I quickly turned it on. He did not like it, despite two or three deep guttural laughs.

So does the presence of Reptilicus confirm the rest of that IMDB list? Anyone recognize any of the other brief clips in the trailer?

Those aren't censor bars, the movie is originally like that. It's from The Time Travelers, which is actually a halfway decent movie.

Joel has said multiple times MST3K will always remain a light PG-13 because he knows it's important to keep the show family friendly.

People are nitpicky because new things are scary. There's been censored nudity in the movies of MST3K before. Off the top of my head, Devil Fish.

Tom Servo isn't censoring anything in that clip. He's trying to peek over the film's conveniently-placed prop. See also: Crow trying to peek under it.

I remember there was also an episode where I think it was Tom commented on a moon looking like the MST3K logo and Joel had to whisper they weren't supposed to know about that.

Clouseau posted:Joel refers to the theater as it once. Also, when they read off the info club address. There was a plot (that was never or at least very rarely mentioned) where Dr. Forrester was selling off videos of the experiment to TV to make extra money off it. Hence the one host segment where Mike and the bots are temporarily turned into the cast of Renegade because their ratings are slipping. At any rate, sometimes they're the victims of an experiment, and sometimes they're perfectly aware it's a TV show.

I just showed my girlfriend the Samson vs. The Vampire Women episode today (since it's on that landmark episodes list I'm working on). I made sure not to explain anything about Samson beforehand so that by the time he showed up unannounced, halfway into the movie, it blew her mind.

Slowly making my way through the Netflix collection. For some reason, the Hercules movies put me to sleep, and Vs the Moon Men was especially bad. The riffs are funny and I still love the interspersed bits throughout, but they're just ponderous. The 10 minute sandstorm scene at the end didn't help at all.
