wonder if Netflix will pick up the disc.

 

[Robert Floto]

Done and done.

 

[TravisR]

I ordered my copy. Thanks for the heads up, James.

 

[Radioman970]

Enjoy, enjoy. For those who haven't seen this one you're in for one hell of a treat. Easily one of the top episodes. Sounds like the DVD has been well done with the return of the MST3K guys for an all new host bit. I simply can't wait to get my greasy little hands on this.

Those of you who don't know this.
On this upcoming release of Gila Monster that has a new opening with TV's Frank and Clayton Forester with Tom Servo and Crow.

Crow and Tom Servo have been supplied by former member of Caption This! and now part of the very popular HipSoda's Caption Crack Hipsoda's Caption Crack: That Doesn't Help at All, Does It?
(JoeCrow)who made replicas of them both.

If you're looking for me I'm Bokso

Hopefully those of you that remember Caption This, might know who JoeCrow is

Just pre-ordered my copy of the 20th anniversary set from Shout Factory. My only experience with their TV/DVD product is Seasons 1-2 of Ironside, which were great. Here's hoping they can add some more features on the MST3K discs than Rhino and can come out with more frequent releases.

 

[Radioman970]

Glad to see that's up for preorder. I'll wait until October and buy mine. Too much time and I need to do my usual price shopping. Good times ahead!

 

[Tony J Case]

so what's included on the preorder? Links?

 

[Radioman970]

No one is revealing what's coming. But rumors abound. Everything from Laserblast to Soultaker. And Shout! is good with extras. This should be a big treat. I can't wait to see what will be on it. Soemthing tells me it willbe worth the $50 and then some.

 

[Corey3rd]

maybe with Shout's universal connection, we'll get some of those titles.

 

[MattPeriolat]

Given it's the 20th anniversary, maybe it'll be something like Crawling Eye and Laserblast at least, given they were the first and last eps on CC.

Joel Hodgson, in a recent blog post at Cinematic Titanic, mentioned that he's getting ready to do press for the upcoming MST3K 20th anniversary release. Hopefully Shout got him and some of the other writers/performers together for some extras. Rhino had a great interview with Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy on one of their DVD sets - maybe Shout can get more of the gang back together.

 

[MattPeriolat]

Well, we already know virtually the whole gang, if not the whole gang from Minnesota will be at Comic-Con in San Diego at a panel.

Given the four day passes are already gone, I think it'll be one of the most popular things there, especially since they'll probably announce the 4 movies at the panel.

 

[Tony J Case]

Heh - thanks guys. So we know - well, pretty much nothing at the moment. Fair enough.

I only hope that Shout doesnt double up on the ground that Rhino already covered. I like the show, but I'm not quite sure I'm ready to double dip my entire MST3K DVD collection.

 

[TravisR]

Since it's only MSTies that will be buying these sets and most of them have the Rhino releases, I would think that Shout Factory is going to avoid putting out episodes that Rhino already released.

 

[Radioman970]

But a lot of Mysties would rebuy them. They might say that won't but they're full of it.

 

[TravisR]

I agree but another thing in favor of there not being much overlap between the two companies is that Shout will have to pay to license each movie again. Why spend money on licensing the same titles over again when that money could be spent on different titles and make the company look good (by not repeating titles) at the same time?

 

[JohnS]

I just finished attending EMA 2008 here in Vegas and Shout Factory was there.
I can CONFIRM two episodes of the four that will be on the 20th Anniv. set.

Laserblast
Werewolf
