Was finally able to back the new @rifftrax.com MST3K Experiments! Times are tough in this economy, but some things are just too important.

I chatted with Mary Jo and Kevin about our weird mad scientist characters on MST3K. Two conclusions: 1) we can’t remember shit 2) still, we do know we had such a great time that we can’t wait to give it another go! With handy, user-friendly excerpts of the sketches we’re trying to remember.

In the entire history of popular entertainment, has there been any other instance of one set of beloved characters being replaced by an equally beloved set of characters? Maybe some will disagree with me. That's totally fair. Not everyone can be right, like me.

Seeing them crack up talking about the "Row Row Row Your Boat" singing scene made me laugh a lot

They hit on all my favorite bits for this trio. I'm not ashamed to admit that I still occasionally yell "mayo-NAISE!" any time I end up using it to make something. So far no Observers yelling in pain in the background, but you know... law of averages!

seeing @billcorbett.bsky.social, @kevinwmurphy.bsky.social, and @maryjopehl.bsky.social talking about the return of brain guy, bobo, and pearl somehow makes all the world's bad stuff go away for a few minutes.* (*they're the good baddies!😎) thank you all and @rifftrax.com youtu.be/6hmUN4J23xs

Let's talk about Pearl, Bobo, and Brain Guy! youtu.be/6hmUN4J23xs

The only streaming service worth subscribing to anymore is @rifftrax.com Best Friends

I have a giant pile of #MST3K T-shirts going back more than 30 years, but this is tempting.

These are the BEST!! Soon my collection will be complete! 🤣

Inspector Mom is always top tier Rifftrax

You know you want one, baby!

Picked up Inspector Mom 2 in honor of @maryjopehl.bsky.social’s birthday. The first riff was a riot, and it seemed like a good enough excuse! @rifftrax.com

INSPECTOR MOM IS BACK ON THE CASE! Dive into The Corpse's Costume with Bridget and @maryjopehl.bsky.social www.rifftrax.com/inspector-mo...

Shirts here! Getcher shirts here!

Finally, something to wear when I don't want to brag about Castleton.

Each day I wish I still had my MST3K shirt from HS. High time for a replacement.

Do you want to dress like the crew making The RiffTrax Experiments? We have to order shirts for production, so we figured we'd let everyone get in on the fun! Check it out for a limited time only: www.rifftrax.com/launch-crew-...

Bonus points for squeezing a Lonely Island reference in there!

More robots screwing up yard work!

I LOVE this riff @rifftrax.com

A new short with Mike and the gang sounds perfect. Those dudes made shake hands with danger since mst3k so I’d love to see them come back for more shorts

Yes!!!!!!!!

At this point, I'm just rerouting my Direct Deposit to the Kickstarter. (PS: please also include it as a separate download in addition to its inclusion in the full episode)

Great news! With 19 days left to back the Kickstarter: RiffTraxMakesMST3K.com

Shortsy the shorts sprite knows how important shorts are.

Maybe we'll FINALLY learn what is/is not grass, and more fun ways to use it, whatever it is?

*whistle* no springs!

1) hell yes they’re thinking of everything 2) l deep cut lonely island reference??????

WE LIKE SHORTS AND WE DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS! We're happy to announce that one of The RiffTrax Experiments will *also* feature a riffed short. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rif...

Original MST3K bots! Oh I needed this tidbit of joy today.

I love that the show is using vintage bots so much. It makes me feel like these ARE the characters we remember.

legit teared up at seeing all the bits of buddies

I am STUNNED that Shout! had a literal archive of original bots ‘n’ pieces!! 🤩🤩🤩 At least of a few of these should go to Lucas’ Museum of Narrative Art.

I am so, so, SO SO SO overjoyed to know I'll get to hear Kevin's Servo once again. Don't get me wrong, I love Josh, Conor, and... well... I like Baron, too, BUT ANYWAY just like 9 was my first Doctor, Kevin was my first Sirveaux, and I have MISSED him.

*giggles and kicks feet*

There’s even going to be OG bots. It just keeps getting better. 🎉

Okay I knew they said they were going back to the OG way they did the show, but now they're going for the jugular. Not only using the original puppets from the first 10 seasons of #MST3K but also having the Toolmaster himself Jef Maynard come back and with his son helping is cool as hell!

Yep!

WE GOT BOTS! @mst3kofficial.bsky.social rifftraxmakesmst3k.com

TONIGHT | 8PM ET @maryjopehl.bsky.social & @chris.dumb-industries.com wrote riffs for the same movie (A Christmas Wish aka The Great Rupert) for @rifftrax.com and Movies Are Dumb respectively, and viewers voted to have them watch each other's work TONIGHT for the next Mary Jo Pehl Show!

Whoops! Well, we were set to reveal the next movie for The RiffTrax Experiments today, but we unfortunately have to change plans. Sorry! We promise the wait will be worth it. For now, please accept us putting a bit of the Mystery back in Mystery Science Theater 3000!
