Starting on MAY 6, all registered Gizmoplex users will be able to stream EVERY AVAILABLE CLASSIC EPISODE – that's over 125 episodes from Seasons 1-10 – for free, and without ads!
Yeah, you heard us: even if you don't have a Gizmoplex Member Pass, you'll be able to stream the entire MST3K classic collection for free, and – for a limited time – without advertising!
We've been hoping to announce this since before the Kickstarter, but needed to wait until we were 100% sure we could work out all of the details… and now we have!
Also: if you're a fan of our 24/7 channels, like Twitch and PlutoTV, don't worry: none of our linear streaming channels are going away. We're not trying to remove options for watching MST3K. We're just adding a better option, where you can see every episode on demand.

How to Watch Season 13

If your Kickstarter rewards included a Gizmoplex Member Pass, you're already able to watch the "pre-release" cut of our first new episode (Santo in the Treasure of Dracula) as well as our first "Gizmoplex special event" (last week's MST3K: A Tribute to Manos livestream), so feel free to skip to the next announcement.

However, if you didn't get a Gizmoplex Member Pass yet – or your non-backer friends are wondering how they'll be able to see the new season of MST3K – you have a few options.

1. Get livestream tickets at the door for $10/event. If you don't want to commit to a full member pass, you can join any livestream event in the Gizmoplex for $10/ticket, which also includes access to rewatch the event for one week.

2. Rent each new episode for $8/week. If you don't care about seeing the live premieres, and just want to see the new season, you'll be able to rent each episode in the Gizmoplex starting one week after the livestream premiere.

Or, if you want to see all of the new episodes, shorts, and special events, you can get a better value by signing up for a GIZMOPLEX MEMBER PASS:

THE GIZMOPLEX SEASON PASS ($135)includes livestream tickets and rewatch access for all 27 planned Gizmoplex events – including 13 new episode premieres and 14 special events – plus all event replays and new content until February 28, 2023! Since individual tickets to 27 events would cost $270, that's 50% off!

And if you aren't ready to commit to the whole year, but still want a better price, we'll also offer a series of short term passes:

THE GIZMOPLEX SUMMER PASS ($50)includes livestream tickets and rewatch access for our first 11 events – 7 new episode premieres + 4 special events – plus streaming access to all event replays and new content until July 31.

We'll also offer an AUTUMN PASS, covering August to October, and a WINTER PASS, covering November to February. If you get all three, the whole season will cost $150 – over 40% off the full ticket price!

And finally, to save you a little bit more, we've got one more special offer:

Grab a Season Pass before the SEASON PREMIERE on May 6, and you'll also get a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD of Season 13 – worth $85 – for free!

But again, if you pledged for EXPERIMENT 85 or above during the Kickstarter, you already have a full Season Pass and the digital download of Season 13 for a way lower price.

Having said that: if you have friends or family who might also enjoy a Gizmoplex membership, we encourage you to share these details. Remember, the more people who join the Gizmoplex, the sooner we can get to work making more new MST3K!

And remember: if your Kickstarter rewards include a Gizmoplex Member Pass for three, six, or nine months, you'll be able to upgrade to a full Season Pass at a special backer price! More details about that coming in May, so stay tuned.

3 Reasons to Buy & Own Classic Episodes

1. When you buy an episode, it's yours to keep… forever.

From time to time, MST3K loses the streaming rights to the movies featured in classic episodes, and we're forced to stop streaming and selling the episode. For example, we lost the rights to The Final Sacrifice in 2017, and are no longer allowed to stream the beloved adventures of Rowsdower and Troy. But, if you had already purchased that episode, you'd still be able to watch it whenever you want!

2. When you buy an episode, you can download it DRM-free!

Once you own an episode in the Gizmoplex, you also get access to DRM-free downloads. That means you can watch your episodes offline, back them up for safe-keeping, and break free of the yoke of your internet overlords! Plus, starting later this year, you'll also get access to any available bonus material for the episodes you own!

3. When you buy an episode, you're helping us #MakeMoreMST3K.

The last reason is the most obvious: when you purchase episodes of MST3K through the Gizmoplex, you're also helping fund the creation of more new MST3K, and helping us cover the cost of keeping the Gizmoplex – and our apps – available to everyone. Buying episodes keeps this whole machine going!

It's worth noting that not all episodes will be available to stream, because they don't have rights to stream all episodes. That's why they say "all available episodes". It also ties into a part of the email where Joel addresses the question of why people should buy episodes of they're all free anyway.

Time will tell, I very well could be wrong, but I think that’s just a mistake in the article. On the tour, she only played Crow for a couple weeks while Nate was on paternity leave, and afterwards he came back for the remainder of the tour. There are also pictures of him on set for the new season.

To add to the confusion, here’s a photo of Kelsey Brady in the puppet trench during filming. This whole thing is very confusing.

Once, Joel performed maintenance on Crow's RAM chips, and showed what he claimed was Crow's first memory. During the "memory", Joel explains that Crow's name is an acronym for "Cybernetic Remotely Operated Woman". Back in the present, Crow was shocked to discover that he's a woman, and instantly started worrying about the dishes and watching Thirtysomething. Joel chuckled and explained, "Take it easy, Crow. It's all just a real elaborate joke... I basically invented you to put that memory in and pull that joke on you." Crow calmed down, stating "So my life has been one big setup for a punchline? Boy, I feel like Morey Amsterdam."[1]

Apparently, all of Begle's social media has also vanished or been scrubbed. I hope this doesn't portend ill.

I suppose this means I should probably go rip all those Disney specials he riffed over with the Defunctland guy before they disappear, huh?

I loved Nate in his guest appearances on Themed Alternative and in the MST3K Time Bubble live show, so I wish him the best.

They're all pretty fun though the pickings appear to be getting increasingly slim

Thanks for posting this, these are great.

They're all incredible, but EPCOT Opening Day, The Living Seas, Magic Kingdom Christmas Special, and Space Mountain Grand Opening are the best.

I made shirt that said SKY PICKLES and wore it to EPCOT last Saturday. Nobody got the joke but I amused myself greatly.
