Yeah it almost feels like Joel anticipated this outcome for a while and has fallback plans given how optimistic the messaging has been.

Netflix giving you three seasons on the optimistic side was probably common knowledge for a while.

I recently got my copy of Clowns in the Sky on vinyl and I gotta say, it's really nicely done. The Crow/Servo colors of the vinyl is really spiffy, and while I'm not sure if something like this merits an audiophile review, my copy is quiet with low surface noise. The turntable slipmat of the original spaghetti ball logo is awesome too.

It's still available in the MST3K store but with a pressing quantity of 1,000 I dunno how long it'll be around for. It is a little pricey at first blush, although remember that the slipmat is included would probably retail for $10-$15 on its own.

I tried really hard not to buy this, but I couldn't hold out for long. It is very good. The slipmat is great. If you ever thought you might like to listen to "When Loving Lovers Love" unironically, then you should buy this.

Bill tells the story of his friends throwing he and his soon-to-be wife a party and they showed the noted performance with Pearl and Brain Guy and Bill just watching his future in-laws wonder what sort of absolute weirdo their daughter was about to wed.

I have to imagine that Netflix weren't the only ones interested in the show after the Kickstarter so he probably has some idea of who he can talk to next.

Amazon'd probably jump at the chance.

Has anybody listed to the X-Files: Fight The Future riff? It's a just the jokes one (obviously, I guess) but it's riffed by Mary Jo and Bill and that certainly sounds like fun.

Something cheerier, at least, if both funny and odd in that way only local TV can manage.

Unlike my namesake I've never done cocaine, but watching this special gives me a good idea about how it feels, still need to finish it though(only got through the part where Chewbacca's dad watches weird space porn)

I’ve been reading about the live show, which I missed, and am wondering: is the implication at the end that they’re leaving the door open to more live tours with Emily Marsh as the human performer and the new puppeteers as the bots? Cinematic Titanic ended up being mostly live performances in the end, so there’s precedent for mst3k going that way too.

Yeah, basically the No Retreat, No Surrender show ends in a whole Mitchell pastiche with Joel escaping and Mega-Synthia declaring that Emily is the new test subject.
