They used to call the hidden counter-Earth Vulcan a lot before Star Trek sort of took the name forever.

Well that or for the hypothetical planet that people used to think existed between Mars and Jupiter and got blown up to become our asteroid belt(and possibly our moon as well)

The secret of planet X must remain hidden from you foolish humans!

I mean, yeah, but if there was a counter Earth, we would have known about it. Certainly nothing to worry about.

I know someone who literally believes there’s a Planet X called Nibaru out past Pluto’s orbit that has an advanced alien civilization on it.

Every time there’s an astronomy article about the real 10th planetoid that astronomers think is responsible for the messed up orbits of kupier belt objects, they see it as confirmation of their wacky beliefs.

There's a new batch of bonus challenges, one of which is releasing Quest of the Delta Knights as a download if they can get to 18.5K backers by Wednesday. That's one of the "forbidden" episodes that was forever tangled up in legal junk, isn't it?

Yeah, that’s one where they apparently couldn’t figure out who owns the rights for a long time. They only worked it out and started streaming it a few months ago on their various platforms. I’m not sure if they ever sold it as a download. It definitely hasn’t been released on dvd.

I saw it on their Twitch channel the other day, and I don't think I'd seen that episode since the show's original run.

It’s a season 3 MST episode: Stranded in Space

You know Stranded in Space is one of those failed pilots where I feel like I coulda handled a season or two of this middling to bad scifi show that probably would have developed a cult following and gotten a modern day revival.

One of my favorites, Attack of the the Eye Creatures, is one of the many films that Susan Hart has a death grip on.


This is the unreleased list from the MST3K forum.

quote:

201- Rocketship X-M
Wade Williams.
Mr. Williams has a sentimental attachment to this particular film, and has given a firm "NO" to licensing out for the MST3k version.
<EXTREMELY UNLIKELY>



213- Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster
Criterion (licensed from Toho).
<EXTREMELY UNLIKELY>



309 - The Amazing Colossal Man
311 - It Conquered the World
418 - Attack of the The Eye Creatures
807 - Terror from the Year 5000
809 - I Was a Teenage Werewolf

Susan Nicholson-Hofheinz (Susan Hart).

Widow of AIP founder James Nicholson who has claim to some of AIP's early films (the rest being with the Arkoff estate). She has yet to be interested in any offers from multiple home video labels regarding her library of AIP titles. Word is she wants far too much money to license them. After a few rumors this past year, it's sadly been confirmed that nothing has changed RE: her stance on licensing her film properties.

<EXTREMELY UNLIKELY>



416 - Fire Maidens from Outer Space
905 - The Deadly Bees
906 - The Space Children

Olive Films (licensed from Paramount).
I've heard from different sources that Olive has 5-year deals with Paramount on their catalog titles (for example, THE DEADLY BEES is set to expire in 2020). The other two titles should be expiring soon or have already expired., which should be expired or expiring soon. Assuming Olive films doesn't renew their license with Paramount, this would clear the way for Shout Factory to obtain them for a future MST3k box set.
<LIKELY>



913 - Quest of the Delta Knights
CURRENT RIGHTS HOLDERS DISCOVERED!!! - Shout Factory has found (thanks to fellow fan Joshua Murphy) the rights holders and now has this episode available for streaming! Hopefully a DVD release won't be too far behind.

Copyright registered under Ramsway JC/LTD. Originally released on VHS by Hemdale Home Video, reissued by Plaza Ent in 1999.

I have found *several* foreign DVD releases despite the movie never getting released stateside: a Region 0 [PAL Format] by Flashback Entertainment (OOP), a Region 4 DVD released in Australia/New Zealand by Payless Entertainment, a Czech Region 2 DVD release by Blesk/Hollywood Classic Entertainment, and even a South Africa Region 2 DVD by Impact Video AND a VCD (yes, VCD) release in the Netherlands!.
Wow.

The big thing with Delta Knights was that for the longest time nobody had a clue who owned the rights. All the other missing episodes we knew who owned them and how (un)willing they were to license them. But for years Delta Knights was an absolute mystery.

Which is kind of amazing, because it was the newest movie MST3K had even done at the time. It's amazing how byzantine these rights issues are.
