Mike, Kevin and Bill Are Back on the Satellite of Love
Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett recorded all-new intros for this year’s marathon, their first time back on the Satellite of Love this century, MST3K says. Mystery Science Theater 3000 is the show where its hosts, stuck on that satellite, riff on bad movies as they play.
Mike, Kevin and Bill just made four new episodes, MST3K: The RiffTrax Experiments, sold at RiffTrax.com, which RiffTrax says more than 22,000 Kickstarter backers paid for. The first, Sting of Death, came out Oct. 9, and RiffTrax also sells the Experiments as a DVD and Blu-ray box set. Last year’s Turkey Day was the Double Troubled Features Marathon, with episodes from Seasons 11 and 12.
