I would bet early December, but they haven't said yet.

Lucky, mine is still "Shipping Soon", which is starting to make me angry at this point. Amazon, you're killing me here. I'm excited though, for some reason I haven't seen the Fugitive Aliens yet.

Mine came today. My wife said our 5 yo walked around the house hugging the set for like an hour. We've only watched a few eps but I think we might have a new fan.

There was a new Cinematic Titanic release a few weeks ago called "Rattlers":

Interesting that this one is an Amazon exclusive (at least for now).

Anyone know why this title is only available directly from rifftrax? I keep checking Amazon and DD with no luck

majorjoe23

Sometimes they keep titles exclusive to their site for a bit. It will show up on Amazon eventually.

majorjoe23

They're making all their titles Amazon exclusive now. I see it as a step up over when you could only get them on CT's site, because you can get free shipping on Amazon.

I wonder if it's because something happened with EZTakes.com (a massive crash and data loss, I think) which has messed up the ability to download episodes from them.

So, who is going to see Manos tonight? I'm pretty pumped for it.

Greg MacGuffin

I'm going. Totally amped.

I wish Canada would get the live events.

I had a ball. Until a storm hit and the satellite feed was knocked out for the middle twenty minutes of Manos. The theater was nice enough to give everyone a free movie pass.

Pizza

Aren't these live events more expensive than a movie? I'd want a full refund. That's too bad the event got wrecked.

DGibFen

Eh, it was twenty minutes. And it's good for any movie, which includes the IMAX screen they have that's typically 14 bucks for an evening show.

It was a fun show. They riffed a bit of this commercial:

Welcome Back, Norman:

And a short about cylinders (from the makers of Grass!)

I'm kinda bummed that the digital goodies this time are just pictures and a behind the scenes video. No downloadable shorts or songs this time.

Mark your calendars:

Commander Cody all together! Awesome.

I stumbled across this...

A Belly Full of Anger (Fully Translated English Edition with the voices of Bob Odenkirk, Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu, Philip Proctor) [ Amazon Link ]

It's seems like it's more like a "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" type thing in which the original soundtrack was replaced with a new humorous one.

Here's a trailer for it:

While I usually get these sets from Amazon after they've been out for a while and are much cheaper, I may have to bite on XXV for that bonus disc.

Luckily, Shout! is having an MST3K sale until 11/27:

Shipping kills the deal compared to Amazon on one set but definitely makes a difference if one orders more than one set. Hmm...

Commando Cody in "Radar Men From The Moon" Chapter 6 ("Hills of Death") was shown in MST3K episode #108 "The Slime People". I guess that's the only Season 1 episode with Commando Cody segments left to be released.

It'd be nice if they included on the Commando Cody in "Radar Men From The Moon" DVD the concluding episodes 10-12 even though the show never riffed them, just so fans can at least see how the serial's story wrapped up. (The entire serial is in the public domain, so there should be no right issues to deal with.)

Rifftrax is having a 20% off sale today using the code FRIDAY. I used it to pick up the last few riffs I hadn't bought yet.

walletboyniac

Deep Discount is also running a BF sale on most of their Rifftrax. Don't know how much longer it's got. I ordered a few of the Live blu-rays I didn't have.

Live Christmas Shorts-stravaganza
Live Plan 9 From Outer Space

edit: Looks like the sale is through the 25th. Good prices.

I stumbled across this bit of MST3K history online. It's a public showing of the initial pilot episode of MST3K which riffed a small bit of the movie "The Green Slime".

(This was never aired on TV and was only created as a proof of concept in order to sell the show to a local TV station, the now defunct KTMA in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota.)

Part 1 (start watching at 3:57 if want to skip the talking beforehand):

Rifftrax posted this on Facebook this evening:

I'm going to hit up DeepDiscount after the Walking Dead. I think the only time I ever order from them these days is when they have one of these sales on Rifftrax DVDs.
