I would think they would be mocking all kinds of new movies especially this years crop.

“I would think they would be mocking all kinds of new movies especially this years crop.”

Many films, new and old, desperately need to be made fun of, as MST3K did it (ones directed by Michael Moore and Oliver Stone come to mind).

But Hodgson & Co cannot work their magic unless they obtain certain sub-aspects of the rights to the films. Some filmmakers (or estate executors, or rights-holders) cannot bear the thought of their precious creations - their intellectual offspring - being treated so roughly. They will not agree, no matter what incentives get offered. And even though it could drive sales of DVDs of their obscure, boring, pretentious nonsense to heights never before fantasized.

Don’t hold your breath in the hope the new _Ghostbusters_, updated to cater to feminist sensibilities, will be Mistied.

(favorite episodes: _Alien From LA_, _Manos/Hands of Fate_, _Attack of The The Eye Creatures_. Best musical interlude: “Danger to Myself and Others.” Cannot recall which film it supported though.)
