The New Mystery Science Theater 3000 - April 14th on Netflix

[XII]

Hey everyone. It's Joel again.

Hopefully by now, you're already on board. Maybe you're not even reading this. Maybe you've already made your contribution, selected your rewards, and are now rushing around the internet helping spread the good word to all of your MST3K-deprived friends!

But if you're still on the fence, maybe I can make it easier for you.

Personally, I think the most compelling reason to help out is that you want to see new episodes of MST3K… and not just for you. Think of the friends and family who you can finally introduce to the new MST3K: the one with a fresh new cast, fresh new riffs, and zesty new cheesy movies!

On the other hand, let’s not any of us forget: this is Kickstarter. I know that you know that that’s gonna mean some cool rewards for helping us out. And for a show that’s never really been about cool merch...I think we’ve finally got some!

You can see all of the rewards on the right side of the page, but here are a few highlights:

Become... Part of MYSTERY SCIENCE HISTORY!
All backers – no matter what you pledge – will be invited to join the new MST3K Information Club. (It's like the old MST3K Info Club, only better. And modern. And more exclusive. And wider in the hips.) Over the next year, we'll invite you to help us rediscover MST3K and get it oiled up and running smoothly. You'll be part of the process!

Read... Our Page-Turning Insider Updates
We don't just want to take your cash and walk away: we want to take your cash and talk away! Most Kickstarter projects promise "exclusive behind-the-scenes updates," but this time, I mean it: I've already started planning things I want to share with you. It'll be like getting email from me, Crow and Servo for at least a year.

Possess... Amazing, Terrifying, Heart-Warming New MST3K Swag
Over the next few weeks, we'll start sharing the designs we're planning for some of the #BringBackMST3K swag you can get, including the OFFICIAL T-SHIRT ($50+), OFFICIAL MUG ($75+), OFFICIAL KEYCHAIN ($100+), OFFICIAL POSTER ($150), and many more. We've got several amazing artists working on this stuff. I can't wait for you to see it.

Take Control.... of the New Episodes!Bringing back MST3K isn't enough power for you? Great! For real high-rollers, we're offering all sorts of ways to be part of the episodes themselves. You can…

Steal the hearts of millions when you... APPEAR IN AN EPISODE!
Throw your weight around and… BECOME A PRODUCER!
Kickstart your new riffing career and… HELP WRITE AN EPISODE!
Immortalize your favorite inside joke with… A PERSONAL RIFF!

Own and Command... Your OWN Robot Friend!
This one is difficult for me, but I want to make sure this Kickstarter succeeds, so I'm willing to make the sacrifice: a very limited number of you can KEEP THE ACTUAL CROW and/or SERVO FEATURED IN A NEW EPISODE! They'll record a personalized video for you, and then we'll ship them off to your doorstep. When we're done shooting.

I love it. I'm not sure if I want to donate to the cause though even though I probably should

Looks like they're talking all new cast and new voice actors

Donated off the strength of the name alone, but

I can't tell, is that Trace Beaulieu back as the voice of Crow? If not, he comes close enough. The new Servo voice... I don't like it. I don't understand why Joel won't be hosting. That's what the people want. I think some people are donating on the assumption that Joel is going to host.

RiffTrax is starting to released MST3K VODs every Monday for sale. So far, it's just the stuff from the Sci-Fi era (which features the RiffTrax cast).

I know there's some weird money issues between the RiffTrax/MST3K camps. Bill Corbett says he doesn't receive a dime from anything MST3K-related and isn't happy about it. Maybe the VODs will be changing that.

I don't mind all of that, I just really want to know how good of a chance does this have? I figured with the DVD sales and the their partnership with Shout would make it easier for them so they wouldn't have to resort to something like this

Edit: they're already halfway at their goal and they still have 30 days left

I dunno, I still haven't touched none of that new shyt cause, I dunno. This shyt is sacred to me.

Time Chasers and Devil Doll and Manos and Final Justice and Boggy Creek 2, that brand of comedy helped shape me. I got into a lotta bullshyt riffin on dudes irl. I be getting banned on here for riffin on dudes. This is feeling like when I heard Michael Jackson's baby voice wasn't his real voice.
