Mystery Science Theater

"There is but no mystery greater than the science of theater." That was Einstein who said that. Or maybe we just dreamed he said it. We've been doing that recently - confusing our dreams for reality. It's a problem. We're hoping a doctor can prescribe us something to help. Also, we're selling some Mystery Science Theater DVDs!

alright.
Team Mike or Team Joel?



Today's pants smell like:
Not sure if you should post that? This slightly-nsfw-flowchart will help.

We all know the real answer to this question is "Team Croooooooooow".

Only two of these discs are with Joel.

1. The Unearthly from season three.

2. Gunslinger from season five.

Gunslinger is also Joel's second to last episode. His last was the legendary "Mitchell!".

As I am Team Joel (and I already picked up some batteries on sellout.woot today), I think I'll pick up The Unearthly.

This is awesome, it's the cheapest I've seen these DVD's anywhere.

It's a shame there isn't a buy all option.

I know, this was part of a question I was going to ask. There is no shopping cart per say so how can I buy more than one? There are probably 4 of them I want. Do I have to just buy them one at a time and stiffed with $5 shipping each time?

You do have to buy them one at a time but you only have to pay the shipping once, it isn't $5 for each DVD. (provided you buy them all on the same day)

The Hamlet is the amazing deconstructed 1960's one with Maximillian Schell. Worth it for the movie itself!

Community Deals tab has 10 of these for $50, so... yeah.

Just noticed that this is also at sellout.woot under deals under $50 for the whole bundle. Its still the same price as if you were to buy them separately.

In most cases I would have bought all of them, but Red Zone Cuba is a real dud, and not in the good way. The gang have a hard time making that one funny.

Wild World of Batwoman however, is a knockout! One of my favs.

If you already have some of the early Rhino sets, you may have some of these.

Collection 3 had "The Atomic Brain" and "The Unearthly".

Collection 4 had "The Girl in Gold Boots" and "Hamlet".

Collection 5 had "The Touch of Satan".

Collection 6 had "The Gunslinger".

Collection 9 had "Incredibly Strange...".

Rhino had individual releases of "Wild World of Batwoman", "Red Zone Cuba", and "Beginning of the End".

Slightly related to the topic... who else is going to see Mike, Kevin and Bill riff Manos: The Hands of Fate in the theater on the 16th?

I am soo excited to buy the movies. Back in the mid 90's, my dad and I spent hours watching MST 3000 and laughing so hard we cried! Good times, Good times! Now, I get to share them with my son, aaah!

It's seriously one of the worst films I have ever seen (including student films) and the team does another one by the same director a few episodes later that's just as bad. No amount of clever heckling can make either film watchable.

Awesome. I'm in for "The Girl in Gold Boots", "Red Zone Cuba", and "Beginning of the End".

I picked those particular movies by going through various people's lists of their all time favorite episodes. It's interesting that a couple of people here indicated they didn't like "Red Zone Cuba", because of the movies Woot is offering, that one showed up the most on the lists I saw.

Other than Hulu, you could go to www.Rifftrax.com for more Rifftrax stuff. That's basically the Sci-Fi era cast there, who are doing Manos in theaters live on Thursday.

This guy.. *wipes forehead* I'd gotten so wrapped up in other stuff, I had almost forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me.

Edit: I won't be picking any of these up because I already own them all. My fave MST3K riff is definitely 'Space Mutiny' it's definitely one of the best, and it's also available from the Rhino DVD releases albeit not in this sale.

I gotta disagree. I think the gang did a great job of making that one funny, because it's such a horribly jacked up movie. It's one of my faves of the series, possibly even more so than Manos.

No, I haven't been drinking, why do you ask?

This, this is the correct answer.


Also, how in the heck did I miss this side sale until just now? Crow was my nick name back in college, specifically thanks to MST3K.

It doesn't come as a bundle? No thanks. Btw - has anyone told the distribution company that you can stream it (FOR FREE)?

How do I buy...all of them? Or rather, more than one..

I want 4 different ones and it seems silly to do 4 orders..

Edit - Yeah, probably a freshman question. I've just never run into a multiple-option woot that I was interested in before..

Hey, Stu! You can check the 'What is Woot? link below or on your screen for the following verbiage regarding the newer options for multiple orders:
What is this "$5 All You Can Ship" thing about?
OK, standard shipping for a Woot order is $5, right? Well, check this out: once you've paid that five bucks to ship an order from Woot, you get free standard shipping on anything else you buy from any Woot site that day (until midnight Central time). That's right: a fiver covers all your Woot shipping for the day, no matter how much you buy. So buy early and often to get the most out of that fun. For now, we're calling this an experiment, so take full advantage of it while you can.

The above answer is spot on.

There's also a 10-Disc set over on sellout.woot. Not sure if the titles are the same but wanted to point that out to you. Same price.

That's where the fish lives!!!!

Not a rip, actually a line in the movie!!

Touch of Satan is hilarious.

If I could not stream this through Netflix I would be all over this.

Sometimes I get the theme song to "Mitchell" stuck in my head.
Watching MST3K was quality family time for us in the 90's (along with The Simpsons.) So when we adopted a puppy and our son suggested we name him Mitchell we all agreed. Mitchell lived with us his entire 14 yrs and had a heart as big as the Pacific.
"my, my, my, my Mitchell..."

I have a photo of me and my (then)five year old daughter watching MST3K shorts. She decided that we needed to wear shorts to watch shorts.

Made sense. (to a five year old, anyway)

However it was February in New England, so we wore the shorts on our heads. Very silly, but then again so were the shorts. Besides half the fun of having young kids is that you get to be goofy.

I'm glad to have some more to share with family and friends.

Anyone else still awaiting shipping on one of these? I received 3 of the four I ordered, but one has been marked awaiting shipping for weeks!

You should have an email concerning this order. If you haven't received it, check your spam/junk folders. You can also email service@woot.com if you can't find it.
