Vol. 38 Press Release

Mystery Science Theater 3000:Vol. XXXVIII
Four DVD Box Set Features Previously Unreleased Episodes
Invasion USA, Colossus and The Headhunters, High School
Big Shot and Track of The Moon Beast

Available on DVD March 28th, 2017 from Shout! Factory

Riffer extraordinaire Mike Nelson hosts all four episodes in the 38th collection of episodes from the beloved comedy series Mystery Science Theater 3000, but the true theme for this set is diversity. Proving to the world that no single genre is immune to cheesy movies and that our hilarious heroes aboard the Satellite of Love are equal opportunity critics, Shout! Factory presents an incredible melting pot of cinema’s multicultural genres, including the worst in Cold War drama, Sword and Sandals, Juvenile Delinquents, and Monster movies.

Available March 28th, 2017 from Shout! Factory, Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XXXVIII includes previously unreleased episodes Invasion USA, Colossus and The Headhunters, High School Big Shot and Track of The Moon Beast, as well as a plethora of bonus features including the featurette Zugsmith Confidential , Tracking A Moon Beast with actress Leigh Drake, Mike, by Joel interview, the original feature film of High School Big Shot, four mini-posters by artist Steve Vance and more!
In addition, the first 1,500 fans who order directly from ShoutFactory.com will receive an exclusive bonus disc, MST3K: Play MSTie For Me Triple Decker, which gathers 39 of the finest MST3K musical moments into one eminently singable package.

In Invasion USA, a tapestry of Cold War-era American archetypes discuss the perils of Communism before witnessing the invasion of America by an unnamed but Soviet-flavored army; Colossus and The Headhunters is a 1960 Italian flick that clearly found the swords and the sandals at an Italian movie thrift store. We have a hero, we have a damsel in distress, and we have plenty of bad guys. Atypical of this genre, however, there are no monsters, unless you count the filmmakers and cast; High School Big Shot follows a beleaguered young man who gets involved in a crime for a payoff that he thinks will cure the troubles with his alcoholic father and cheating girlfriend; and Track of The Moon Beast brings us a sad tale of a mineralogist’s nightly transformation into a killer reptile following an unfortunate meteor shower. Alas, even make up effects by legend Rick Baker cannot redeem this film.

Volume XXXVIII Bonus Features
· Zugsmith Confidential featurette
· High School Big Shot (original feature film)
· Mike, By Joel interview
· Tracking a Moon Beast with Actress Leigh Drake
· Theatrical Trailers

Weekend Discussion Thread: What MSTed Movie Should Go to Series?

During the Angels Revenge episode guide comments, Bad Wolf asked:

Did we already do a Weekend Discussion about episodes we’d like to see go to series? This would definitely be one for me.

Oh I want to see a weekly Batwoman series. Everybody does.

Your pick?

RIP Roy Forge Smith

Roy Forge Smith, a veteran production designer who worked on the classic “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” and two seasons of “Ghost Whisperer,” has died. He was 87. His friend and collaborator John Gray said Smith died February 6 but gave no other details.

Longtime MSTies might recall his production designer credit in the movie in episode K20- THE LAST CHASE.

Thanks to Timmy for the heads up.
