Updated: Coming from Shout: Manos Re-release

Posted by Sampo, on June 14th, 2011

Our pals at TVShowsonDVD have the news about an upcoming re-release of episode 424- “MANOS” THE HANDS OF FATE.

Previously released on DVD twice by Rhino (as a 2001 stand-alone disc, and in 2004 as part of “The Essentials” set) but long out-of-print, Shout! Factory has announced that they are bringing to participating stores this year a new 2-DVD release of “Mystery Science Theater 3000 – Manos: Hands Of Fate Special Edition.”

It will be available on Sept. 13 for a suggested price of $24.97.

Our sources at Shout have updated our info:
* Disc one will feature the classic MST3K episode, a featurette–“Group Therapy: Wherein Joel, Trace, Frank & Mary Jo relive the horror”–and the MST3K Hour wraps.
* Disc two will feature the original unMSTed movie, “Jam Handy To the Rescue!” A Daniel Griffith/Ballyhoo Production featurette (written by and starring Larry Blamire), BOTH parts of the short “Hired!” “My (Educational) Short Life,” an Interview with Joel Hodgson and–wait for it–“Hotel Torgo”. Also includes an exclusive mini-poster by artist Steve Vance.

Please use THIS LINK to preorder it from Amazon.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Required Movies

Posted by Sampo, on June 11th, 2011

Alert reader Bob Davey writes:

What movies are “canon” as suggested by repeated reference by the Brains? Three that come to mind might be “Road House,” “Mannequin” and “The Goonies.” How important is it to see these movies and why (I have seen some of “Mannequin” but not the others)?

So in other words, what (non-MSTed) movies ought a MSTie be sure to have seen in order to get most of the references? The list is going to be long, my friend.

I’m going to start with “The Wizard of Oz,” riffed on dozens of times over. But I also maintain that this movie is perhaps the last communal experience we as Americans have, so everybody SHOULD have seen it. Two riffs from 303- POD PEOPLE (the most recent episode I saw) come to mind” “I DO believe in spooks! I DO believe in spooks!” and “I can’t come back! I dunno how it works!”

What movies would you put on the list?
