Product Description

Riffer extraordinaire Mike Nelson hosts all four episodes in this 38th collection of episodes from the beloved comedy series Mystery Science Theater 3000, but the true theme here is diversity. Proving to the world that no single genre is immune to cheez, and that our hilarious heroes aboard the Satellite of Love are equal opportunity critics, we present the worst in Cold War drama, Sword and Sandals, Juvenile Delinquents and Monsters. Any investment portfolio manager who advises that diversifying risk is good way to minimize damage clearly hasn't watched enough MST3K. Behold an incredible melting pot of cinema's multicultural genres, and you will understand that in the world of cheezy movies, there is nowhere to hide. Episodes: Invasion, U.S.A. - Colossus And The Headhunters - High School Big Shot - Track Of The Moon Beast - "great"

VOLUME XXXVIII + Broadcast Order Clarified
5 Stars
VOLUME XXXVIII + Broadcast Order Clarified
-- Invasion USA (episode 602)-- Colossus and the Headhunters (605)-- High School Big Shot (618)-- Track of the Moon Beast (1007)Three episodes from Season Six, one from Season Ten.Unlike most earlier volumes, which coupled two Joel episodes with two Mike episodes,this new box is all-Mike.This is not an editorial decision by the people at Shout.Rather, it reflects the fact that they are running out of previously unreleased episodes that are not tied up in legal difficulties.Even so, Volume XXXVIII is not scraping the bottom-of-the-barrel:Season Six was an especially strong one (the last season teaming TV's Frank with Dr. Clayton Forrester).One bonus feature included with this set is especially revealing:"Mike, By Joel" - Joel Hodgson talks about Mike Nelson, his successor on the Satellite of Love.Joel originally had a different succession in mind:His character would be hit by a "Sex Ray from Outer Space" and transformed into a woman (Joelle?),to be played by writer Bridget Jones (Mrs. Mike Nelson).She was best known on MST3K for playing Nuveena "Girl of the Future", Mr. B Natural, and Empress Flavia.176 TOTAL EPISODES OF MST3K (originally broadcast on Comedy Central or the Sci-Fi Channel)- 131 episodes are on Shout Video-- 30 episodes previously on Rhino are currently out-of-print (gradually reappearing on Shout)-- 15 episodes have never been released on DVDI hope some of them will appear in future volumes, but I am an incurable optimist:201 - Rocketship X-M212 - Godzilla vs. Megalon*213 - Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster309 - The Amazing Colossal Man311 - It Conquered the World416 - Fire Maidens of Outer Space418 - Attack of the The Eye Creatures601 - Girls Town623 - The Amazing Transparent Man807 - Terror from the Year 5000809 - I Was a Teenage Werewolf905 - The Deadly Bees906 - The Space Children913 - Quest of the Delta Knights1013 - Diabolik = SERIES FINALE, SATELLITE OF LOVE CRASHES BACK TO EARTH* Episode 212 "Godzilla vs. Megalon" was briefly available in Volume 10, but a lawsuit caused it to be withdrawn and replaced with a different film (402 "The Giant Gila Monster")STAR:-- Joel Hodgson = 86 Episodes (101-512, Seasons 1-5a)-- Mike Nelson= 91 Episodes (512-1013, Seasons 5b-10)MAD SCIENTISTS ("Mads")-- Dr. Clayton Forrester = 128 Episodes (101-706, Seasons 1-7)-- Pearl Forrester = 48 Episodes (801-1013, Seasons 8-10)[but her first appearance was in Episode 607 and she was a supporting character in Season Seven]ASSISTANT MADS:-- Dr. Laurence Erhardt = 13 Episodes (101-113)-- TV's Frank = 109 Episodes (201-624)-- Pearl Forrester = 6 Episodes (701-706)-- Professor Bobo = 48 Episodes (801-1013)-- Brain Guy (Observer) = 44 Episodes (805-1013)OCD compels me to put things in logical order.The thirty-eight MST3K volumes (four films per volume) are a special challenge.A jumble of early and late shows.Volumes XIII-XXXVIII: Each episode is in an individual DVD case, so you have the option of re-arranging the episodes in broadcast order (the host segments have ongoing story arcs).Volumes I-XII are four-disc DVD cases, but single-episode DVD covers are available.See Comment One (dated January 12, 2017) following this review.Click on "sort by Oldest".I have prepared a list of all 176 episodes in broadcast order, keyed to the Volume Number each episode is in.See Comment One (dated January 12, 2017) following this review.Click on "Sort by Oldest"(for alphabetical order see Comment Two, dated January 12, 2017)PHOTO 1 = Dr. Clayton Forrester with Dr. Lawrence Erhardt (season 1)PHOTO 2 = Dr. Clayton Forrester with TV's Frank (seasons 2-6)PHOTO 3 = Dr. Clayton Forrester with Pearl Forrester (season 7)PHOTO 4 = Pearl Forrester with Professor Bobo and Brain Guy (seasons 8-10)PHOTO 5 = Joel Robinson with robot friends (seasons 1-5aPHOTO 6 = Mike Nelson with robot friends (seasons 5b-10)
