Clearly the game the Bots needs to riff on would be a Kingdom Hearts game


Certainly would be convoluted enough

I'd like a GTA style sandbox game that let you play as MST characters and movie characters.

If you select Mitchell, he's really slow and needs Schlitz to regenerate. Or Trumpy can do magic things. Mr B Natural can teleport and dance to evade the Danger!! Death Ray being fired by Donald Pleasence.

How have I never heard of this before?

Personally, I'd just add the bots and friend to a weird/bad/riffable game. Like, Xenogears or Drakengard.

Yeah, I was thinking of something like a series of short levels that parody legendary bad games in various genres/the actual games if they're old enough to be abandonware with Madden tech dynamic riffing from the gang, and little WarioWare-type minigames for the interstitials.

Those Netflix videos are fun, and show there are fans of the show working pretty high up for the CCO to appear.

I'm actually starting to think Joel might be the thing that could prevent Netflix producing a next season. Netflix likes to have a strong bargaining position. It's why they don't release ratings or anything that could help the creatives in negotiation. If Joel thinks letting them fully produce the next season might hurt the show for the fans, he may tell them he's going back to kickstarter and will just being back another finished season for them after.

Problem then being if they can actually raise the money for another season, even though they wouldn't need as much.

I'm sure they'll work it out in the end, but this is probably one of several things they have to hammer out. With regular shows you have the starting point of whatever the contract for the first season was.

I have to think the quality of the first season helps Joel out as far as retaining creative control. I'm sure Netflix would want some say, but it would be hard for them to argue it's necessary to produce a good season.

Yeah, I'm not even saying Netflix would try to get creative input. They're probably happy with it as is. It may just be Joel deciding the show is better being a product of the fans and beholden only to them. A lot of his Kickstarter updates have gone into how happy he is with being totally fan funded. It makes sense, given his history with producers on the show.

I don't think they could successfully crowdfund a second season. Wasn't the stated purpose of the first campaign to prove to a network that there's a demand? They were implicitly saying that a successful Kickstarter and first season would lead to non-fan sources of funding that would keep the show going for years to come. They can go back to that well because the value proposition for donors was that they were funding potentially multiple seasons of a revival.

Yes this is a good idea. Unlocking the 8 doors seems obvious and great.

There could be a Space Mutiny mode where every time you hit a pop bumper, one of the nicknamed versions of the main character (BLAST HARDCHEESE!) pops up on the screen, but they're all slightly deformed.

So,as someone who doesn't have Netflix , is this show any good? A friend of mine has been singing its praises for a while now, and I was considering getting Netflix on my PC so I could watch it, among other shows I've been interested in (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Lucha Undergound).

Yeah it's quite good. 3 of the 4 Marvel shows on Netflix (Daredevil, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones) are also good.

That was about my reaction too. The movie and the riffs were good (I mean, "good" for the movie) but that skit in the first episode was when I *knew* the show was back.

They seem to have a hands-off approach with House of Cards and other shows, they'd be crazy to interfere with a show that costs $6 million for 20 hours of content.

Going back through Futurama, and I forgot that they made an MST reference. In "Raging Bender" the crew goes to a movie, then the switch to a silhouette shot, and Fry makes a bad joke, then gets sushed and it pans over to Tom and Crow who tell him not to talk during the movie.

And then there was the time Mike & the Bots popped up on the MST3K inspired show "Cheap Seats"

She feels underdeveloped, and the new Gypsy voice is just sort of plain. I understand the concerns about the old Gypsy voice but I loved her character in bits like the Lord of the Dance sketch, or her dancing at the end of Toobular Boobular. Her overall sci-fi element added a layer of offbeat weirdness that's missing from the revival, as well, there was something slightly discomforting about her that sold the show's vague menace.
