Default Joel looking to kickstart MST3K 2.0

Kickstarter

Q and A on Reddit

Quote:
Mike's not hosting it, and I'm not either. I think it's important for the show to move on to it's next host, just like it always would have if it weren't canceled. That was always the idea for the show – it just wasn't clear because two doesn't make a pattern, and we got canceled before we ever had a third host.

I've invited everyone from the original cast to come back and participate creatively -- to write, and hopefully to do cameos as their Mad Scientist characters. I don't know yet who will and won't decide to come back. I think we'll know more after we see how this Kickstarter campaign goes. But this isn't a reunion show either. To keep the show fresh, I really believe it's important to keep bringing in new talent and keep looking forward.
More at the above links. Mike and Trace have already indicated they won't be involved.

On the one hand, it's tough to compete with an MST3K Kickstarter.

On the other hand, we've got Uhura and Chekov, and we're asking for much less money.

Please help us!

Ooh, neat.

Zeke, if you want to edit the title to mention both MST3K and Excelsior kickstarters, go for it.

So, where we stand on the Mystery side of things:
  • 6 out of 12 episodes funded with ten days to go
  • Jonah Ray is the new host
  • Felicia Day is the new Mad
  • Hampton Yount will voice Crow and Baron Vaughn will voice Servo
  • Patton Oswalt is the new henchman
  • Gypsy showed up in the background in a Turkey Day spot, but nothing has actually been said about her or Cambot
  • Not mentioned on the rewards list is that everyone pledging $35 or more also gets six digital copies of classic episodes

Why didn't he make his own thread?



It's the verge of 2016. I can upgrade my comment to:

Joel was going for twelve episodes. We beat the goal by enough to make thirteen plus a Christmas special!

There was a livestream for the last few hours, with magicians and musicians and technical problems and Dr. Zaius as William Shatner reciting "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". It was, as many people said, a glorious trainwreck.


Yay for Excelsior making all of its stretch goals!

Seems uneconomical to create new threads when there are so few already. Who will fill all these threads if we just make them willy-nilly?

ALSO: I am the laziest of buggers.

Really glad we made it, too! Thanks!

AAAARRGH! I specifically scanned their reward list to look for classic episodes at a reasonable price point so I could give them to my wife for Christmas! JOEL WHY HAVE YOU FAILED ME?!

http://mst3k.com/kickstarter/addons/...assic-episodes still reads as $7/episode, which is a bit cheaper than the four-pack DVD sets that AFAIK go for $30-$40. I'm sure you won't get them by Christmas, or for a while, as we still haven't gotten word about when to expect ours from the Kickstarter.

How are you feeling about it after Axanar got sued for copyright infringement?

No, seriously.
