Clear your calendars, MSTies: On October 30, you’re invited to the Second Annual Puppet Camp and Startling Conclusion of the MIGIZI Fundraiser! This event will feature a telethon-style final push on the fundraiser we began in July to help MIGIZI rebuild, as well as the public premiere of TWO BRAND NEW MST3K SHORTS, riffed by Joel Hodgson, J. Elvis Weinstein and Bill Corbett reprising their roles as Joel Robinson, Tom Servo and Crow.
The two shorts will be “A Busy Day at the County Fair” and “Behind the Scenes at the Supermarket.”
This live-streamed event will feature performances by Puddles the Clown, Bear from Bear in the Big Blue House, TikTok sensation Toiley T. Paper and puppet visionary Wayne White (Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, Beauty is Embarrassing). Hosting duties fall to the cast of Mystery Science Theater 3000 Live.

Bloomington, Ill.–It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing here of Steve Finley, one of the early contributors to Satellite News, on Oct. 16. He was 68.
Steve was one of Satellite News’ earliest boosters, and was the creator of the “Daddy-O’s Drive-In Dirt” section of this site. He had always hoped to update the site, but his diminishing health prevented him from ever doing so. Still, we enjoy the section (in all its 1997-era html glory), and still occasionally refer to it. He was also one of the founders of the “This Date in MSTory” feature here. The original database he created, listing every cast and crew member from every riffed movie, their birthdays, etc., was the foundation on which the current feature was able blossom and grow. Steve was an avid movie buff and we would direct you to his Facebook account, where he posted, sometimes several times a week, pieces about vintage Hollywood celebrities. He also quite candidly dealt with his deteriorating health on that account. Steve was a good friend; I will miss him.
