Good news/Bad news for the next MST3K disc
From the MST3K news page I frequant:
While I'm glad about Santa Claus, I'm vexed by the "Manos" re-release. Oh well, that means I can clear up my shelf space by one disc, I guess.
RHINO ANNOUNCES NEW DVD SET
On August 31, Rhino Home Video will release a new 2-DVD set it is calling MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 - THE ESSENTIALS. It will contain two episodes that scored very high on the poll of fans we took several years ago: Episode 321- SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS (YIPPIE) and episode 424- "MANOS"-THE HANDS OF FATE (BOO!).
The set will have a suggested retail price of $24.95.
We have no information yet about any extras that may be included on the set. When we get more info, we will pass it along immediately, of course.
Our sources indicate that more sets will follow with more titles that have not been previously available, from both the Comedy Central and Sci-Fi Channel eras.

Just so we're clear, there were TWO classic MST3k Santa Claus movies, and SCCTM is the less-bizzare one, by far.
Wake me when "Santa Claus," in which the villain is, I believe, the Devil, arrives on DVD.

I wish it was 'Mitchell' or 'I Accuse My Parents', since I don't have either of those.

Forum rules don't allow you to put WTF in thread titles, so we should probably stick with this (more descriptive) one.

Now, is Rhino planing to revisit all the titles released on DVD and release them in these 2 packs under the "Essentials" title or is this just an isolated release?
