Jim Mallon is running the whole show for this. That's why he takes such a long credit roll in the press release. He owns the show, now calls it the legacy series because he has a flash cartoon series online with Servo, Crow, and Gypsy. When Mallon isn't contemplating how to make money off this series, he seems to be in conference with his lawyers on who to sue next for infringing on his rights to "prerecorded movie riffing."“We are thrilled to be at Shout! Factory. It is a really a great fit for Mystery Science Theater 3000,†said Jim Mallon, President of Best Brains, Inc. and a producer/director/writer of MST3K. “Shout! Factory totally gets the world of MST3K and has shown great respect for Joel, Mike, the Mads and the quirky little bots. They have already issued us lockers. We look forward to great new releases ahead.â€
If you didn't know Joel has a new straight to dvd series called cinematic titanic, while Mike has the movie crew.

There's also Rifftrax, of course, though the few I've listened to have been quite hit and miss. Nowhere near the standard of peak MST3K.Nihonophile wrote:If you didn't know Joel has a new straight to dvd series called cinematic titanic, while Mike has the movie crew.

And they weren't necessarily denied, they just mentioned that they might be in either this or the early 2009 set, and they might not be in either - they don't want to get anyone's hopes up. So one or the other might be in here. I'm thinking that Laserblast is a shoo-in.Matt wrote:From what I can gather, it is still only 4 discs (like the previous Rhino releases), but it is "lavishly packaged." A couple of titles were leaked ("Werewolf" and "Laserblast"), but those were later denied by Shout Factory.
Sorry for posting it without any context! There really isn't any so far.

Details on the bonus features are starting to leak out. And depending on the length of that History of MST3K doc, they're potentially very exciting.Matt wrote:gasp! splutter! wheeze!

What a coup for Shout! Factory. The Joel ep is the only one I haven't seen, but Laserblast, Werewolf, and Future War are classics. I've got a Mike Nelson bias, but I'm glad to see two of the funniest SciFi era episodes on this set, because it shows that they're not going to shy away from releasing those.

Re: TV on DVD
"Soultaker" is one of the funniest episodes ever. Still waiting for "The Final Sacrifice" though.

"I wonder if there's beer on the sun..."
Fantastic looking set, as are all the Shout Factory boxes. I wouldn't even mind if they double-dipped on the Rhino episodes, they do such an exemplary job.
Now if they'll only get Radar Secret Service...

Re: TV on DVD
This is the best news I've seen all day, The Final Sacrifice is neck and neck with Space Mutiny as my favorite episode.
