Untrammeled Consumerism

At MST3K.com, three new “legacy” videos, including Torgo’s infamous job interview with Dr. F.
And they’ve added some “legacy” tees to the merch lineup, including the popular “Space Mutiny names” tee.

Over at Rifftrax, they’ve announced something called “Rifftrax On Demand“–essentially downloadable versions of many of the DVDs Mike has done for Legend, including “Reefer Madness” “House on Haunted Hill,” “Night of the Living Dead”, etc. An interesting feature (to me at least): You have the option to purchase them, and own them forever, or rent them for 48 hours. Prices range from $2.99 to $12.99.

And don’t forget Satellite News merchandise, including our annual “shorts” calendar, featuring 12 classic moments from 12 classic short films that were riffed by MST3K!

Mike interview in “Rue Morgue”

The December 2007 issue of Rue Morgue magazine (issue #74) has a new interview with Mike entitled”Mike Nelson: Heckler at Large.” In it, he discusses his work with both The Film Crew and Rifftrax. Visit http://www.rue-morgue.com for ordering information.

Rifftrax Blog Revamped

Looks like we missed it when it started about a week ago, but the Rifftrax Blog (which until now had been rarely updated) has been revamped and appears to have become a group blog: Mike posts frequently on whatever issue strikes him, Kevin posted, but so does Conor, one of the main honchos behind the scenes there.

We definitely appreciate the need for revamped blogs. :-)

The Next Rifftrax is for…the worst thing ever

The next Rifftrax was announced today: The track will be for (gulp) “The Star Wars Holiday Special.”

 

May God have mercy on our souls.

Now, I know many of you are staring at your computers saying “But that’s not commercially available!”
There are ways of seeing it (though I have a feeling these things may disappear when Lucasfilm gets wind of this…)

Fight the frizzies!

Rhino Greenlights “Gila Monster” Single Disk

Satellite News has learned that Rhino WILL be offering episode 402- THE GIANT GILA MONSTER as a single disk, in addition to its inclusion in the re-released MST3K Collection Vol. 10. The disk will only be available for a limited time, but for those who purchased the original Vol. 10 before it was recalled, this will save you some hard-earned dough.

I presume the single-disk version will include the extras that were previously talked about (I doubt they would go to the trouble of mastering a separate release).
