New Mystery Science Theater 3000 DVD Set Released

Just out this week, MST3k Volume XXIII from Shout! Factory. I spent many happy hours watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 back in their heyday. Turkey Day on Comedy Central featured 24 hours of MST3k goodness, unfortunately video tapes only could hold 6 hours (8 hours tapes were a farce! Quality was horrible).

Here’s the details on the new release, you get two Joel and two Mike episodes.

Much like the country that spawned it, Mystery Science Theater 3000 is a melting pot. In every imaginable genre, Joel, Mike and their robot pals Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot have seen the promise of cinema mutilated by mediocrity. Nowhere is this highfalutin concept more hilariously exemplified than in this 23rd collection of episodes from the beloved cult comedy television series. You want a Western? It’s here. Space adventure? Look no further. We’ll even throw in a failed TV pilot and a barely coherent science fiction-horror-thriller. All genres are treated with equal disrespect by the luckless crew of the Satellite of Love. They pledge allegiance only to funny, with justice — SoL style — for all.
