Surprising remark about Phillies fans…Oh who am I kidding?
Download it or see a sample here.
Posted by Sampo, on September 20th, 2011 Our friends at Shout! Factory say that bootlegs of Volume XX (that’s the one with episodes 109- PROJECT MOON BASE, 322- MASTER NINJA I, 324- MASTER NINJA II and 505- MAGIC VOYAGE OF SINBAD) are being sold on ebay and Amazon and they are crappy. They’re telling us:
From the outside they look very accurate, but if someone buys a copy “New” from Ebay or an Amazon Marketplace seller, here are the tell tale signs:
· The set is flimsily shrink wrapped instead of our standard factory sealed shrink wrap
· The Master Ninja movies have the wrong films on the discs. The disc that says Master Ninja 1 has #2 and vice versa.
· Some copies of Project Moonbase have Magic Voyage of Sinbad on it.
· If you look closely at the legal lines on the discs, especially the Master Ninja discs, there are numerous spelling errors.
If someone has purchased a bootleg they should demand a full refund from the seller and report them.
Word to the wise!

Posted by Sampo, on September 17th, 2011 Alert reader DeeJay writes, thoughtfully…
So we all know that every episode of MST3K begins with a remind that “it’s just a show. I should really just relax.” But I think every fan out there has blatantly ignored that advice on multiple occasions. We are all obsessed with the show and thus cannot resist dissecting it in a fashion better fit for “Star Trek.” MST3K basically celebrates its lack of continuity, from casually joking about Servo’s arms not working to not even acknowledging Frank’s tendency to come back to life one week later without fanfare. Sometimes a shallow explanation is made, like citing the existence of an air duct on the way to Servo’s seat in the theater, but, most of the time, the poor continuity is just part of the humor. So I would like to dedicate a weekend discussion to “The Science of Mystery Science Theater.” What explanations have you come up with for aspects of the show that aren’t meant to be explained?
Okay, I’ll give you one I’ve conjectured on: Why was it called “The Satellite of Love?” Perhaps Gizmonic Institute was building the rocket to send couples into space and show them romantic movies to study their, um, reaction? Hmmm?
And how DOES he eat and breathe? What do you think?
