MST3K ~ S05E21 - Santa Claus Mystery Science Theater 3000

MST3K - Turkey Day '91

MST3K season 12 scales back in various ways, but delivers a strong set of six episodes on Netflix. When Mystery Science Theater 3000 returned for its eleventh season, they had big shoes to fill. While the series has evolved over the decades, prior change only happened in pieces. When Mike Nelson replaced Joel Hodgson as MST3K host, everything else remained the same. With the jump from Comedy Central to the Sci-Fi Channel, it still just boiled down to losing Trace Beaulieu and having to cover for it. The eleventh season, on the other hand, was a total changeover. New host,...

As originally heard in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode for "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" written by Crow T. Robot and inspired by the 1989 classic film ROAD HOUSE starring Patrick Swayze as Dalton, the legendary "cooler" whose job it is to tame the rough and rowdy crowds at drinking establishments across America. This year, reddit and Joel Hodgson led a mighty chorus in this majestic, action-packed rendition of "Let's Have A Patrick Swayze Christmas This Year," meant to inspire redditors and all of us this holiday season.

Fans don’t like to let their favorites go, but now they don’t have to. We live in a world desperate to remake, reboot, and flat-out return to beloved franchises, hunting the closest thing to a sure audience there is.

MST3K - Patrick Swayze Christmas

Twenty-eight years ago the little science fiction show that could, “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” premiered on Thanksgiving Day. It all started with one Earthling, series creator Joel Hodgson, and his gang of lovable robot puppets. Together they drifted through space in the “Satellite of Love,” warmly lampooning low-budget B-movies with titles like “Teenagers From Outer Space” and “The Leech Woman.” It was an odd show whose shoe-string budget and screwball tone often mimicked the very movies it skewered. The misfit humor struck a note with fans and despite multiple series cancellations and resurrections, (including a recasting of Hodgson with Mike...

When Joel Hodgson announced a Kickstarter campaign to bring back Mystery Science Theater 3000, the 1990s cult cable show he’d created and starred in, the internet basically melted down. The show’s combination of bad B-movies and relentless riffing had earned it an active underground fan base, and in the 17 years since its demise MST3K had continued to live on thanks to word of mouth and online chatter. It was the perfect target for a Veronica Mars-esque resurrection, sure — but even that underplayed how big the revival would become. Fans helped the campaign blast past its original $2 million...

Bad movies only get better with expert heckling. "Mystery Science Theater 3000," aka MST3K, riffs on truly horrible films with the help of a human and his robot buddies. So it only makes sense that its fans have put their money where their laughs are and helped raise millions of dollars for a new season. With this successful Kickstarter campaign almost completed, fans of the original MST3K will have a chance to watch new episodes with a new cast, new cameos and a new writing staff. Since this is a continuation of the series and not a reboot, they also...
