MST3K Roulette at Netflix

Netflix Instant added some new MST3K episodes recently but there seems to be a malfunction: Users are reporting that when you click on one title, you actually get a different one. According to reports on Twitter:
When you select “Hamlet” you get “Touch of Satan”
when you select “Red Zone Cuba” you get “Hamlet,”
when you select “I Accuse my Parents” you get “Girl in Golden Boots,”
when you select “Touch of Satan” you get “Incredibly Strange Creatures…,”
and when you select “Incredibly Strange Creatures…” you get “Red Zone Cuba.”

Are there any more? Report them in the comments…

    Isn’t that just like technology…The more you try to advance or improve it, the more it screws up.

    Incredibly Strange Creatures… > Red Zone Cuba > Hamlet > Touch Of Satan > Incredibly Strange Creatures…

    Girl in Old Boots is actually I Accuse My Parents (they’re just switched)

    Looks like it goes both ways: “Girl in Gold Boots” is “I Accuse My Parents” AND vice versa.

    The Beginning Of The End must be from the new Shout Direct copy. The start of it is riddled with more tape hits than Lost Continent.

    It’s just in the new lump of Shout/reclaimed-Rhino episodes added this week, and not all of those–Beginning/End seems to be intact.

    I’d report them to Netflix, but then they’d be pulled off the catalog before I’d finished warching.
    To paraphrase Crow (in the “Dispose of your GvMegalon” PSA) I’ll do that….later. :)

    My invention exchange this week increases the pain exponentially! Not only do you get a bad movie, but you get the WRONG bad movie! Muhahahahah!

    Yep, “Hamlet” gives you “Touch of Satan”. At least I got to enjoy the Wassail sketch before work this morning. Now I’ll be humming that song all day. “Then severe financial penalties will come unto you. Then severe financial penalties to you.”

    I noticed this a couple days ago when I tried to watch Incredibly Strange Creatures, thanks for the “map”. So nice to have more episodes available to watch instantly, even if they are all mixed up!
