So my wife and her BFF have been planning this trip to Nashville for like a year, and we settled a while ago on doing it Oct. 27-31.

So yeah, I'm going to RTLive: Carnival of Souls in person.

There's also the re-releases of the original single DVDs from 2000/1 that Shout! could do. Eegah needs a new home.

By my count, there's four of those: Eegah, I Accuse My Parents, The Hellcats, and The Crawling Hand. Be interesting if they stuck those in a box set together.

Also "Invasion of the Neptune Men" was near the bottom of the MST3K rankings. What the gently caress?

The back half of it is really rough. Once they get into the interminable WWII stock footage, it reaches Coleman Francis levels of unwatchability.

"Noh Theater" is a great host segment, though.

It wasn't all over the place, but Joel's run has jokes making fun of white people from time to time. The opening to Mr. B Natural comes to mind. Hell, making white rivlage jokes are half the fun of watching old educational shorts.

The whole joke of "A Date With Your Family" is "the '50s-style white nuclear family narrative was a lie."

I just watched Kitten With A Whip today and I'd like to submit it as one of the 'totally watchable on it's own' movies. It's certainly an absurd melodrama that plays into the moral panic at these newfangled "teen-agers" at the time, but it's a totally competent and fairly well-acted example of the genre.

Plus you get a Sylvester cartoon out of it.

I agree with Mike & the bots that the movie's biggest sin is having its protagonist be such a dope.

My memory is that he's just one joke, for the entirety of his run, and there's something about the makeup that limits Kevin Murphy's ability to do that one joke justice. I used to laugh a lot at the noise Brain Guy made when he was using his brain powers. I'm interested to see if I still do once I get back to him.

Kevin had a bit in one of the online Episode Guide entries for Season 8 that boiled down to "It is Hell being in the gorilla makeup."

Edit: Oh, God, the Sven & Ole joke is *beautiful*.

Off the top of my head:

-Dark Crow (assuming that's not Timmy - I don't remember his name).
-The time Cambot does an overlay onto the film.
-The time Joel opens an umbrella to cover the film's nudity

In "Girl in Gold Boots," Mike pulls out a pool cue to "play" on a table that's in an otherwise unwatchably tedious scene.

The Russo-Finnish movies are kind of the best ones they did. They're gorgeous to look at and really well-made, it's just localization issues that make them seem goofy. (He's not Sinbad!)

When Sci Fi got it they ran it Saturday mornings, Saturday evenings, and Sunday late nights. I think they might've dropped Saturday evenings at one point. Where they premiered the episodes would shuffle. For a while it was Saturday evenings, but I believe in season 10 Sunday late night became the new episode slot.

I remember it being Saturday morning debuts and Saturday evening slots right to the end. Never knew it was on Sunday.

I really wonder if they had to pay to license all the pop songs they sang. Does having a car on the screen warrant fair use of lowrider?

I haven't gotten to that one yet, but if it's just a line or two, it's fair use.

Also, apparently you've forgotten they did stuff like that all the time on the old show. Tom replying "Where you going with that gun in your hand?" when a character says "Hey Joe," Mike singing a few bars of "Isn't She Lovely" when a character is waving his head back and forth kinda like Stevie Wonder, Tom singing "Broken Glass" along with the credits music to "Time Chasers"... I mean, if you didn't like it then either, fine, but it's nothing new.

They fixed it up by the time the show started, though.

Man, people in chat are ccalling this version of Hamlet bad. Seems fine to me, though I don't know if that's due to a lack of judgement or because I've seen WAY worse.

It's not very well-staged or -lit, the actors don't have much presence, and the dub is mostly execrable (special points for Ricardo Montalban doing Claudius, though).

So, about that next DVD collection:

MST3K on Facebook posted:

An update from Shout! Factory about MST3K Volume XXXIX and future DVD releases:

- The set will be available Nov. 21, 2017, and available for pre-order on the Shout! Factory website and Amazon later this week. We hope you’ll share this update with your readers.

- It will be a four-disc set, here are the titles:

The Amazing Transparent Man
Girls Town
Diabolik
“Satellite Dishes”

- The 4th disc, called “Satellite Dishes” is a collection of the host segments from episodes from the remaining unreleased episodes. They are:

Ep #201 Rocketship X-M
Ep #212 Godzilla Vs. Megalon
Ep #213 Godzilla Vs. The Sea Monster
Ep #309 The Amazing Colossal Man
Ep #311 It Conquered the World
Ep #416 Fire Maidens from Outer Space
Ep #418 The Eye Creatures
Ep #807 Terror from the Year 5000
Ep #809 I Was A Teenage Werewolf
Ep #905 The Deadly Bees
Ep #906 The Space Children
Ep #913 Quest of the Delta Knights

- Despite our best efforts to include the remaining unreleased episodes, due to licensing issues, it is very likely that Volume 39 will be the last collection of never-before-released episodes, and that these remaining episodes may never get a legitimate release. With this in mind, we decided the next best option was to release the remaining host segments by themselves.
