What’s what’s Vietnam?
Someone somewhere has surely asked this.
i think Vietnam was something that LBJ screwed up (along with McNamara). that is another story for another day.
she looks like wynonna ryder up there. NiiiiIiiiiccee…. ! gives a whole Heathers viiibe!
Good thing we have Hinder 90!
Yeah, sure, MST3K Phase II is happening soon, but can we get some word as to what’s coming out on set XXXIX? I know we normally have to wait until after the next set streets, but I already got set XXXVIII via the pre-order and being an impatient cuss that I am, howsabout a taste of what’s coming?
And normally, I adore Shout Factory’s bonus features, but did anyone else think that set XXXVIII seemed kind of meh compared to the other ones?
There was an often shown commercial at one time (for some Time-Life books, I think) that had a little boy asking his father, “Daddy, what was Vietnam?” Joel used that as a riff. The commercial was an early indication that the baby boomers were getting old.
If that’s what you’re asking.
Ohhh, now I get Brock’s comment! Yes, 90’s MST3K, like CC and all early-90’s cable, was so saturated with marathon two-minute 1-800 ads for Time-Life’s Western and Unexplained Phenomena coffee-table-book series, you might snap and shoot somebody just fer snorin’ too loud….Coincidence? Read the book.
As for the Vietnam ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqQ63y91RWU
joel retweets felicia… preview pic IN COSTUME felicia and patton!! :) … https://t.co/uW344YvXAn
I am completely familiar with the riff and its origins. I remember the commercials. My observation is that so much time has passed that the riff “What’s Vietnam?” could be replaced with “What’s what’s Vietnam”. I’m thinking of a little boy asking his father while watching Mst3k “What’s what’s Vietnam?”
If you started on April 2nd at 2am and watched all 286 hours of MST season 1 through 10, you would catch the start of season 11 just 5 minutes after crow is saying “this movie seems familiar….”
Pacific time, that is….. :)
Got it.
Just ran across an interview with Joel, Jonah, Baron, and Hampton at Splitsider from yesterday.
Couple of highlights:
Is this the first time we’ve gotten confirmation that Paul Chaplin will be appearing onscreen?
And then this tidbit:
I think that’s a nice touch. A little bit of a 21st-century upgrade for Joel being an inventor.
Dare we hope for Pitch to make an appearance?
I’m thinking Sandy got better, and wants to reconnect with Pearl or say hi to Kinga.
POOM!
Thanks, Thad, for the link. But is it just me or is it hard for anyone else to read all this stuff? I mean, I just get so antsy and excited and it all sounds so wonderful and and and AARRGGH! Just hurry up and get here!! So I stop reading and go on to something else and relax. All the people involved sound like great people and performers so it’s difficult to suppress my anticipation of this great and wonderful thing that seems ready to go as it is!! Oh well, maybe it’s just me. Plus I’m trying to get over a bad cold and am all light headed and loopy from the meds. Deep breaths… ;-)
I’d say there’s a 99% chance that Amazing Transparent Man will be on the set.
Nah, nice dark text, wide font, 18px size — very readable! A really refreshing web design choice in this age of thin letters and light grays.
Oh, that’s not what you meant?
I’m excited too, but hey, we’ve been waiting almost 18 years as it is; what’s another three and a half weeks?
…hell’s bells. I’m 34 years old; I just realized it’s been more than half my life since the show ended.
Off-topic: I just read that YouTube is discontinuing annotations, which presumably means we won’t be seeing any more annotated episodes. (The existing annotated episodes will still work; the feature’s not being removed from videos that already have it.)
Kid, what’s NOT Vietnam…. 8-)

They’ve released an official trailer!!!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ct0Z2bQndM&feature=share
8-)
Reptilicus? Well, it’s no Gorgo, but I remember seeing goofy public-domain stock clips showing up in other movies and TV shows.
I know I’ve seen the movie with the battling coneheads (“Beyond the Time Barrier”, I’m guessing?), and do I dare hope that cheap silver titan is from “Starcrash”? :)
It’s still too early to judge the hosting and riffing, but TV’s Son of TV’s Frank didn’t seem to fall far from the tree, and the new Pearl Forrester doesn’t seem to be too annoying (yet).
EW.com has posted an article.
http://ew.com/tv/2017/03/22/mystery-science-theater-3000-trailer-netflix/
When EW fired most of their writers a couple of years ago, they seem to have fired their fact checkers, as well.
The article lists the original MST3K as having a nine year run. :struggle:
The trailer looks awesome! You can tell that Joel and the rest put a lot into it,from the sets to the costumes to the Mads to even the print of the movies.I noticed that the theater looks a lot like the one in the MST3K The Movie,too..Excited about this before and even more so now..Glad I bought season 11 on blu ray last year..Thanks Joel!!
Watched the trailer about twenty times and now I’m truly amped for the new season. Also cool to see Mary Jo snap some celery with her evil laugh, Tom hovering around in the theater able now to kiss all the women he what’s, and Crow standing up.
After watching the trailer, I have to say I like it. What I like is that they’re keeping the retro look and feel to the show. I thought it was an abomination when they added new FX’s to the original Star Trek episodes, they look phony like a video game FX. The low budget effects of MST gives it a charm, and the show is not about the effects, it’s about comedy and satire of low budget films.
I actually got emotional watching the trailer. God, I’m so weird.
The trailer did not have enough Bots but man it looks good. Love the retro, BB esque effects. PLEASE COUNTDOWN END!!!!
Oops, no, sorry–“The Time Travelers” (1964), and what a nutty piece o’ work it is, too:

(Note the “Sexy Servo-blocked shower” shot also in the Netflix trailer.)

Oh, was this movie hella fun when we saw it at our old all-night sci-fi theater festival.
I didn’t think there would be so many girls getting undressed…the brunette one with the lip liner was cute…
“You speak to I, Kinga Forrester”
Is Kinga’s poor grammar proof of her evil? I’m gonna say aye. Probably learned that from Gramma Pearl.
Regardless, this trailer fills me with giddy, anticipatory goose pimples.
Is that Joel saying “movie in the hole?”
Is that Rebecca Hanson in green? Who are those skeleton dudes??
Oh, darn, a year later and Amazon’s already gone and pulled the S11 Blu-ray boxset…Between that and the Moana disks, you just can’t order anything there anymore. ;)
Which one was that? I know the blonde in the strategically covering shower was from “The Time Travelers” (just in case the Mods never finish approving the post with the YouTube trailer link), but I don’t recall any brunette besides one of Kinga’s minions.
And on the subject, who’s the Inframan-esque alien minion on the right of Kinga & Pearl, wearing the new Deep 13 helmet?
Well, I’ll be darned.
Eric J. is actually in a good mood about something. :dazed:
And he gave a shout out to “Infra-Man.” One of Roger Ebert’s favorite guilty pleasure movies! 8-)
By the way, you can order something from Amazon without a hassle.
Socks. :-)
@EricJ…But,you can get it on their Kickstarter page though..mst3k.backerkit.com
** I’d like to see 15 seconds of riffing from these guys before I pull the trigger on the blu rays **
Question: Will the price of the blu ray collection go up after release?
The trailer is great, LOVE the old school effects. I do think everybody will take a bit to get used to. Same thing happened when going from Tom to Tom then Crow to Crow then from mads to mads. :D
Watched the trailer about thirty times now and TV’s Frank’s son’s facial expression from 21-26 seconds made me bust a gut. BTW Kinga is hot. :inlove:
WOW! It looks better than I thought it would. AND THEY’RE DOING ‘REPTILLICUS’! :rotfl:
my thought on the Trailer:
BITCHIN’
Apparently Kinga is hiring her helpers from the Princess Dragon Mom temp agency. ;)
They haven’t said, but Ivan from the Kickstarter did say that backers will be getting the blus/DVDs around June, while a release for the general public might not be for a year or so.
i can care less who voices Tom (but i will post it before anyone else)
I HATE TOM SERVO”S NEW VOICE
Oh man, I’m so exited about this! This is almost as intense as mock U.N!
A Danish-made kaiju with a monster who literally moves like one of those bird-marionettes you used to play with when you were a kid:

(Bad imitation-Nordic accents abound in the dubbing like bad imitation-Japanese accents in the 60’s Toho’s, but look like the riffing won’t go to town on that aspect of the movie as much as the M&tB era would fall into the temptation of doing.)
*watches trailer*
Whoo, Getting KTMA vibes from the sets. Nice!
I *am* a little worried that the intro is either going to be too long (and take too long getting the theater riffing), or be too rushed, and feel forced. I guess we’ll see when the show premieres.
No no no, it’s
“How about a little trailer, Scarecrow?”
Awesome!!
But I don’t WANT to reorder Netflix!! [pouting]
LOVE the energy of it! feels good! love patton’s “kid in a candy-store” looks of glee… anyone else notice jonah had his drumset packed for the trip?
taking a totally wild guess, i think the “movie in the hole” guy -might- be adam savage! (maybe kinda sounded like his voice, plus since “fire in the hole” was such a necessary staple-phrase on mythbusters, just seems like maybe that’s the first cameo we get to see!)
Joel did mention at one point that he wanted the opening to be shorter and get J&TB into the theater quicker. Not sure what that’s going to mean in practice, though since it’s Netflix and there are no commercials there’s not much sense in having an opening host segment, an act break, and then another host segment before the movie.
I liked Crow’s voice there at the end. Looks good.
