MST3K: ROBOT MONSTER
The sinister alien Ro-Man has decimated the Earth’s population, leaving only eight survivors, including a professor and the family of young space enthusiast Johnny.Its status as “one of the worst films ever made” easily makes Robot Monster an instant hit with the crew of the Satellite of Love! Join Joel, Servo and Crow as they explore their own fears of Ro-Man — errr … Ro-Tom — surrealism and, of course, the awful greatness (and the great awfulness) that is Robot Monster!
Also includes the shorts Radar Men From The Moon: Chapters 4 & 5!

Can Joel and the ’bots carry a tune? Who doesn’t love cold Tater Tots® and olive loaf? These and other, equally imperative, questions will be answered — and more — in this “very special episode” of Mystery Science Theater 3000 that pays tribute to one of Ed Wood’s best bad movies ever!

Already discussed but that’s a heck of a pattern of names:
Robot Monster
Bride of the Monster
Devil Doll
Devil Fish
So, remove the most common factors and we have:
Robot Bride of the Doll Fish?
great! gives me about 10 weeks to sell enough blood…….
This set is best watched while enjoying a
snack of assorted luncheon meats.
AWESOME full spread of details, Sampo!
Can’t wait.
Is that a first look at the covers/posters up there?
Start dusting off the dvd player Laura……
That is an awesome set of extra features this time. Many extras and mostly really good ones. Though I have to say, Larry Blamire seems to be in there simply perhaps because his movies are also now Shout! releases and they are shamelessly plugging him? Otherwise, the extras are terrific and are of [i]direct[/i] interest to fans of MST3K.
Like I said in another thread, I’m pleasantly surprised with what SF came up with for bonus content. I’m also somewhat intrigued by a possible “Easter Egg”, too!
Love it. :mrgreen:
Love it. :mrgreen:
Love it. :mrgreen:
Love it. :mrgreen:
But how about some scene selections? The power went out yesterday and I had to start the movie all over when it came back.
ck (#4): Also enjoyable while in the presence of a stupid worthless electrician :razz:
Nice to see that everyone is excited about the MST3K XIX extras! I certainly had a blast putting the new mini-docs together. You have to give it up for Shout! They’re really going all out on this one!
In response to Mr. B(ob)… the “Larry Blamire on ROBOT MONSTER” featurette is based more on his love for b-movies, than his own self-promotion. And he’s such a delightful subject! Not to mention that he’s a HUGE MSTie! That’s why we (Ballyhoo Motion Pictures and SHOUT! Factory) continue to utilize his wealth of knowledge and general admiration for these films.
Thanks again everyone!
Looks like another outstanding set and extras from Shout!! I wonder what’s next for Volume 20? Will we get another figurine of some sort?? I can’t wait,but I’ll have to,won’t I? :lol: Thanks Shout! You guys are doing an excellent job.
Now that they got Ed’s Bride of the Monster on Volume 19, how about getting The Violent Years on Volume 20? :P
I’d like to see the rest of the Hercules movies done on the show on SHOUT! DVD releases. And of course, Jungle Goddess!
All right, now I just need to sell my kidneys so I can get this DVD ;-)
I’m glad that the extras are spread out pretty well on this set. They sometimes end up with a lopsided set (extras-per-DVD-wise) but this is relatively even.
Great set…already on order. The extras are great! Can’t wait for a crisp copy of “Robot Monster”…mine was barely visible when I transferred it to DVD a few years ago!

You might want to consider keeping one kidney.
Just sayin’. ;-)
(Unless, of course, you’re a clone daddy).
Hey Shout!, DEFINITELY give us (me) more specials like “Inventing the ‘Invention Exchange'”. I LOVE the Mst3k “history” features. More cast features, more show history, more Shout!
“This set is best watched while enjoying a
snack of assorted luncheon meats.”
Your not getting any of my ham.
#20 – Clark, you think you like ham. Wait till you see ME like ham.
Dammit! Why isn’t November here yet?
Sorry to be pedantic, but “decimating” Earth’s population would be reducing it by one-tenth.
Otherwise, YAY. This looks to be one hell of a box set. Great movies all around, solid extras. Saving my pennies!
im still thrilled just like the day it was announced..
I want Jungle Goddess too !! :mrgreen:
Good to know that Ballyhoo/D. Griffith was involved in these extras. A guarantee that they will be top notch and add a great value to the sets. Everything they have done for Shout! looks excellent and ends up being super informative and fun. Keep them coming – more mini-docs and extras please!
#23 – Sure, but one tenth only means 2 less people in line in front of you at the DMV. Roman went all out baby!!
I…excuse me, I need some privacy for the next five…three minutes.
None of you, and I mean none of you, like ham as much as I like ham.
NOW DRINK THE BLOOD OF THE VIRGIN!
