Can anyone explain the "mawwiage" joke to me? They've said it a couple of times this season and Rifftrax has as well. Also, is MST3K the reason why Rifftrax lost the rights for Wizards of the Lost Kingdom?
Do you mean jokes theyd keep bringing up through a film? If that, yes, but it was all dependent on the movie they were riffing. I'm just glad they got a Smuckers preserves joke in the new season (I havent noticed a 'pepperidge farm remembers' as of yet)

Yeah, you're right. It was Peter Cook in The Princess Bride.I believe that's from the Princess Bride or another classic film. Some old priest or cleric saying marriage.
I had similar feelings but have grown to genuinely love them after watching them several times. Some of the later shows in the season are real favorites of mine: Robot Holocaust, Moon Zero Two, The Black Scorpion.

I wasn't familiar with him but he was great as 100% Hubbard. That whole movie is a lot of fun, even without the MST3K treatment. Looking at his picture now I think he must have been that kooky scientist at the mountain top observatory in The Crawling Eye. I never made the connection before.Moon Zero Two stood out for me due to the unexpected appearance of Alf Garnett as the villain.
(For Americans: You may know about how All In The Family is based on a British original? Alf Garnett is our Archie Bunker)
(From looking at IMDB, he's also in The Crawling Eye, but I don't recall noticing him in that. That said, the version I've seen was a terrible print, so he may just have been an indistinct blob!)
I want season 12 just to see the story they come up with for how Crow and Tom end up back in space after living with Mike, given Joel's comments on this subject. I guess I feel like this incarnation could actually support a 'storyline' outside of the basic theme song setup/host segments and there were elements to it this season, but as Ive not finished the last three-four episodes yet, maybe they do go for it.Just finished watching the last episode.
I am glad I backed it and having 1080p downloaded copies is a nice treat for rewatches.
I really hope that they have a 12th season because I do think the cast has a lot of potential and having an opportunity to hone their craft and their camaraderie can only make the show better.
My favorite episodes were Cry Wilderness and Carnival Magic. I hope they do more of these sorts of "modern day" shit movies. Sort of similar to Final Sacrifice and Touch of Satan.
Overall very happy with what they ended up doing!
Joel and Jonah are both on today's WTF, with Marc Maron. Separate segments, though.
More Tour info? There's a mention in the last backer update that there might be more information on that 'next week'.
MST3K said:For the first time ever, join Joel Hodgson, creator/host of the critically-acclaimed Mystery Science Theater 3000 TV show and its new host Jonah Heston (Jonah Ray) as they bring the first live touring production of MST3K to a city near you on the Watch Out for Snakes! Tour.
Appearing with Joel and Jonah live on stage will be robot companions Crow, Tom Servo and Gypsy, along with Synthia (Rebecca Hanson) and her Bonehead henchmen. Of course, it wouldnt be MST3K without the ever-present surveillance of the Mads, Kinga Forrester (Felicia Day) and TVs Son of TVs Frank (Patton Oswalt) checking up on their unwilling test subjects via remote video.
The tour consists of two separate, completely unique shows, each with separate admissions. Fans wanting the complete tour experience should purchase two tickets, one for each show. Each event will include all the things expected from an MST3K experience: a cheesy B movie, hilarious riffing, wisecracking robots, silly sketches plus for the first time audience participation! Show # 1 is the MST3K favorite Eegah featuring all new riffs and sketches. Show # 2 is a Secret Surprise Film! Its a fun, sci-fi thriller never-before featured on MST3K and will appear only in select cities.
The two live shows are written by the cast and scribes of the new Netflix Original Series, which earned a critics rating of 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, whose site hails, Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return picks up right where its predecessor left off, retaining all the cult classics crucial ingredients and adding a handful of fresh twists. MST3K is a Peabody Award-winning show, nominated for two Emmy Awards, and named one of Entertainment Weekly and TIMEs 100 best TV shows of all time and one of Rolling Stone magazines Readers Poll Best Comedy Shows of the 1990s (March, 2016). Rolling Stone also listed MST3K among the 100 Greatest TV Shows of All Time. The TV show relaunched in April on Netflix after the record-breaking #BringBackMST3K Kickstarter Campaign.
Tickets for MST3K Watch Out for Snakes! North American tour dates will go on sale to the public Friday, May 19 at 12 Noon local time via ticket links below or the venue box office. Please note where there are multiple performances in a single market, each event is ticketed SEPARATELY.
I will pay good money to see them if they come north of the border
Now live! Id even wear a Canadian tuxedo and a mullet just to bring that true Rowsdower flavourThe destruction of Canada and all its culture is by far my favorite scenario.
Hard to objectively rank something so subjective.I'm on the second episode, & it's been pretty solid so far. Out of the current batch of episodes, which ones have the best riffs?
I chose the right time to move, huzzah!Not a single show in Texas. I need to move to Denver.
Got tickets to the Atlanta show - both shows. Never been to any of the Rifftrax or Cinematic Titanic shows so this should be interesting.
Unlikely. Joel has been asked this and basically said that it would clash with how many riffs are made based on the motions or facial expressions of actors, and referenced the supermarionation shows they tried at the beginning of KTMA.I was thinking today, do you think they'd ever do an animated film next season?
Though his plans to kill Hercules keep failing, he's basically getting away with everything until he dumbly blurts out his guilt where someone can hear. Missed it by that much.The main baddie in Loves of Hercules is the most hilariously incompetent villain ever. All of his plans fail and he doesn't do a single thing right.

These recent cancellations at Netflix are making me nervous. I hope they give MST3K at least another season or two.
