It's happening! I can't believe it! * wipes away man tears*
Watching Santa Claus Conquers The Martians, as is per my Black Friday tradition, and I've just now noticed something. The Mads introduce the Wish Squisher, with which Frank puts in a box full of NES cartridges, and out comes Underoos that won't fit for 2 years. The Underoos are Super Mario Bros. 3 themed.
Can't believe I'm only now finding this thread.
Yay for Season 12! Season 11 was so much better than I expected.

Wonder how long they have known about the renewal. T-day marathon is prerecorded and its been hyped up for a while too, imagine they got the news already weeks ago, if not longer and were holding back for T-day
What I heard is the option to shop the show around started in October so I imagine they had an informal agreement with Netflix then and something final soon after. Maybe a few weeks?
Don't know if there should be a Rifftrax OT, or if we can just talk about it here, but...
Rifftrax did a few Holiday shorts, and two movies. The guys did "Jack Frost" (the horror film, not the Michael Keaton film), and Bridget and Mary Jo did "Beyond Christmas"

Also, check your emails if you have a Rifftrax account. They just sent me a free $10 gift certificate.

So, SF Debris has been doing a retrospective on George Lucas and the creation of Star Wars. From the original up until the Disney Sale.

Tidbit I never knew about. Trace Beaulieu did a voice-over audition in the late 90s. Turned out it was an audition for Jar Jar.

Trace has mentioned it a number of times on the Movie Sign podcast and in other interviews I've heard him on. But yeah, that's a pretty wild bit of information!
He dodged a hell of a bullet...culturally, not financially. I bet having Star Wars money would go a long way towards making you feel better for being the butt of everyone's joke.
I am the exact opposite, I think they should do way more with Bridget and Mary Jo. They seem to do their riffs off the cuff rather than a script and they have great chemistry together.
Somewhat related to MST3K, Rifftrax is doing a live show in London for one day only. On Feb. 15, they will be doing Plan 9 From Outer Space and Samurai Cop at the Prince Charles Cinema.
Shout Factory has announced a wide release of season 11 on DVD and Blu-Ray on April 17. The only announced bonus feature is the We Brought Back MST3K Documentary.
For reference, these are the Kickstarter exclusive bonus features that aren't included.

Pretty disappointing, but I get it. KS gotta have its own thing lest it cheapen the reward.
I got the download option from the Kickstarter so I'm not going to double dip on a fairly bare bones.
I'm wondering if Season 12 will be a Netflix only option or if they'll eventually have download options, too...
Multiple Netflix shows have gotten Blu-Ray releases and other download options (usually a couple of years after release on Netflix). For example you can buy Orange is the New Black on multiple digital stores including Google Play and Amazonor just buy it on Blu Ray. Netflix doesn't seem to buy unlimited rights to it's exclusive shows, just to use a videogame term they buy "timed exclusives".
Rifftrax is having what they're calling their biggest sale ever.

The Rifftrax Kickstarter is up and they will be riffing the Space Mutiny and Krull this time around. Needless to say but I put my faith in Blast Hardcheese.
They are also releasing the MP3 version of Krull so you can do it that way. It is what I did with Starship Troopers and Godzilla when I had to miss them due to having night classes.
Syncing seems like such a headache. I know I would have a hell of a time getting it synced right.
It's not. Every so often Disembaudio will say a line from the movie to make sure you are synced. You'll be off a second or two at the worst. Plus they also have their app that does it automatically.
Apparently the current list (according to a post on MST3K subreddit) is:

Sadly The Girls in Love With Satan does not exist, but they're in Lovers Lane
Hope we get season 12 news soon.

Yeah, the ones from Manos on were left.
When is the most likely time we will hear about season 12? Was hoping for something today.
I wonder if this might be something that'll have an impact on the Season 12 (and beyond?) lineup:
Roger Corman sells the rights to 270 of his films to Shout! Factory
Roger Corman sells the rights to 270 of his films to Shout! Factory
Awesome! Hopefully used on S12 and beyond, but also makes it easier to get the Corman episodes out in the wild (not that they were so hard to begin with).
Are we really expecting updates from him on season 12? I would assume the only reason we got updates last time was because of the Kickstarter. Now that the fans had nothing to do with this season, we may not get any news until the season is almost done.
Yea been wondering if 12 is in production yet.
Course most of the show is done in the writing room, actual filming and production was super short for 11

So I've been (slowly!) wading through the old stuff in the big pile o'episodes I got from the Kickstarter, and most recently I've watched Lost Continent - that's the film which spends a full 25 minutes or so painstakingly depicting people climbing a mountain.
I'm sure there was a much later episode (Mike/Pearl era) which had a similarly extensive sequence, but in this context it was a protracted sequence of people climbing down a hole. Can anyone recall which episode that was?

Oooh, that's a possibility, yes.
Edit: Hey, Hugh Beaumont's in that one, too! Guess he didn't get enough of the climbing.

Does that work out as a year of Netflix exclusivity, pretty much? Might be useful to note for Season 12 and for non-backers in countries that don't get it on Netflix. Also, really encouraging to see that MST3k and Rifftrax are clearly working together.
I believe so, though I don't know what kind of deal Joel has with Netflix. Also, MST3K and Rifftrax have been working together for awhile. They have been selling old episodes for a year or two and both Joel and Jonah were on the 20th anniversary live show that Rifftrax put on two years ago.
I know, it's just encouraging to see it apply to the new stuff as well. I wasn't actually expecting that! (Although that's more because I thought Netflix would hold onto it more tightly)
