While that is a great list in terms of naming the most brutal movies, I think this list will serve you better in terms of the essential episodes:

At one point I believe I owned nearly every episode on VHS. As far as Joel/Mike pref as a person I prefer Joel, but Mike I think had some of the better episodes.

Bet episodes imo and must see's:

I Accuse My Parents (on youtube in multiple parts)

Girls Town



Santa Clause Conquers the Martians

The Day the Earth Froze



Horror at Party Beach



Attack of the (the) Eye Creature



Eegah




Girls Town and I accuse my parents tho are the GOATs imo...

'The Day the Earth Froze' is so outstandingly awesome.

I also have an autographed Richard Kiel 8 X 10 of 'Eegah!' I met him in Atlanta once and we had a sweet 10 minute conversation about the film. Great guy.

25 years ago today, MST3K first hit the airwaves.

Seriously, it's just the best. This should be done over every movie's credits:

I interviewed MST3K's creator/star Joel Hodgson for the Village Voice today. Really a great, humble dude. We spoke about the show's music and a lot of the most obscure musical moments - http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/201 ... rns_25.php

Recently watched Prince of Space, which is the Japanese equivalent to Plan 9 From Outer Space if there ever was one. Great episode.

Also might have the best Mike-era skit i've ever seen, just fucking brilliant

Mystery Science Theater 3000′ Reboot May Come Online in Not-Too-Distant Future

On the heels of the 25th anniversary of its premiere, the cult comedy series “Mystery Science Theater 3000″ may be rebooted in the not-too-distant future.

Show creator-writer-producer Joel Hodgson, who hosted the sci-fi series from 1988–1993, told Wired that he plans to revive the show online this spring. “MST3K” was cancelled in 1999 after 11 years on the air. Comedy Central dropped the show in its seventh season and the Sci-Fi Channel picked it up after audiences fought to keep the series alive.

“I’ve talked to a bunch of fans about their lives and what ‘MST3K’ means to them,” Hodgson told the magazine. “I’m overwhelmed by how people took to that show. It really affected them. I thought, if enough people still love it, maybe we can bring it back.”

The resurrected web show will feature a new host and cameos from “MST3K” alumni.

“Even avid viewers sometimes don’t realize that every major role in the show had been swapped out over time,” he said. “So in my mind, the show is built to be refreshed with new people and new ideas. It’s like Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle as it applies to ‘MST3K’: If it doesn’t change, it’s not the same show. And fortunately for us, as long as there are movies, there are always going to be cheesy movies.”

The “MST3K” team “reunited” earlier this month to bring the “RiffTrax” show to the National Geographic Channel. “Total Riff Off,” a three-hour April Fool’s special, found the gang overdubbing nature shows that included “Honey Badgers,” “Unlikely Animal Friends” and “Swamp Men.”
Don't want a new host though, Joel should just do it.

A proper reunion with Joel, Trace Bauleioiuouoiu and Kevin Murphy would be dope.

Sidenote, this ustream account plays random MST3K eps 24/7. I bookmarked it a few months ago and throw it on when Netflix runs dry. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mystery-s ... 00---mst3k?

Also, every season is $24.99, which is at least 50% off. If you've been on the fence about buying any sets, now is the time. The 20th and 25th anniversary sets are both must owns.

I think XVIII is actually my favorite of the Shout sets. Lost Continent, Beast of Yucca Flats, Crash of Moons and Jack Frost are all top tier episodes.
And the Gamera set of course is the best.

I wish the newest release (XXIX) was included in the sale.

By the way, for those who want to take advantage of the Amazon sale, please do so by clicking through the link here: http://www.mst3kinfo.com/?p=17521

That way, the MST3K long-running Satellite News fan site gets a kickback.

I know most Kickstarters are lame, but have you guys considered pledging to help make the live Riffing of Anaconda a reality? They're trying to reach $250,000 and have four days to go to make the last $25K. The bonuses for pledging (a lot of great Rifftrax stuff including exclusive shorts and movies) are some slick bonuses.

Please at least give it a read and consider it - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ri ... theaters-n

Didn't they just get a kickstarter goal to do a riffing on Godzilla from 1998 or whatever too?

Yeah, they made that goal, and the distributors who own the rights to it also own the rights to Anaconda and said they'll give them permission to riff that too if they raise $50,000 more.

Caught the Godzilla Rifftrax for my birthday last week and it was hilarious, you should catch the encore tonight if you get the chance.
