If Emily and Jonah each get their own Crow and Servo, does that mean that Joel gets Trace and J.Elvis or Kevin Murphy?

majorjoe23

in the most recent Mads live show, Trace and Kevin said they weren’t coming back. Maybe J Elvis and Bill would reprise their roles like they did for the MIGIZI shorts with Joel.

whotony

Yeah, it was addressed by Joel on the latest notes at the Kickstarter.

There’s a livestream tonight:

Join Joel Hodgson as he introduces you to the newest members of the MST3K Cast: Emily Marsh, Conor McGiffin, Nate Begle, and Yvonne Freese! Submit your questions, then stick around for our first #MakeMoreMST3K watch-a-long, as we screen one of Emily’s favorite classic episodes! Join us on YouTube, Twitch, and right here on Facebook at 5pm PT / 8pm ET.

The livestream was fun. They watched Hobgoblins, which Joel had never seen before.

It's still up on Youtube, at least for now:


Edit: At the end they mentioned they're doing two more this week, on Thursday and Friday.

whotony

It was a little hard to hear everything they were saying but I thought Joel said they are doing another one Friday with Mary JoPehl.

Jay G.

6 more MST3K livestream events coming up.

First, 5 more "watch parties."

But then also on May 3, they're going to have the two casts (Emily's vs Jonah's) play Jackbox games against each other.

I finally dropped a few coins on this, not a whole lot but I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't contribute something. Looks like it's stuck at the 6 episode tier unless some wealthy benefactor does a last minute money bomb.

I wouldn't be so sure, based on what I've seen over the course of the campaign, I'd say they'll probably get to 4.4 mil on or before Wednesday. That means at least nine episodes. And just like an Ebay auction, a lot of people hold off until near the end. So, we'll see. It ain't over till it's over. Don't forget that whatever level you pledged at you'll get another opportunity to add add-ons, too (3-D glasses for the 3-D episode at least).

whotony

All people who paid $75 and up get the 3D glasses.

milo bloom

Are they red/blue or that weird pattern?

whotony

I dont think they’ve said but it likely will be comparable to what is used at the movies.

coyoteblue

The film/films are going to be using Anaglyph 3D, which typically uses red/blue filters. You can buy extra glasses (as add-ons) for $7 a pop. This isn't nailed down, but they might be able to swing 3-d glasses designed for people who wear glasses and 3-d glasses designed for people who don't. They'll probably be some kind of cardboard or heavy stock paper, but plastic isn't out of the question, I imagine. There are multiple ripe Anaglyph 3D film choices for riffing running from the 50's thru the 80's.

The glasses will probably be available from the Gizmoplex somewhere down the line, too.

whotony

I couldn’t find it on the kicker. People who don’t pay on the kicker, how will they get access to new shows?
Will the Gizmoplex app be a pay for view setup?

How is all this going to work?

coyoteblue

This should answer a lot of your questions: FOUR DAYS LEFT. 75% FUNDED. Everything You Need to Know About the GIZMOPLEX!...

whotony

So the simple answer, you have to pay the subscription or per ep if you want to see the new episodes or buy a Kickstarter.

whotony

They’re about $3400 for the current level to 9 shows

Jay G.

Nitpick: you don't "buy a Kickstarter." You pledge on Kickstarter, which gets you certain rewards.

Also, they've broke $4.4 million now, so will make at least 9 episodes, including one with Joel as host.

whotony

Yeh I know, but if I’m giving someone money for something, I’m buying it.

coyoteblue

At the moment they need around 900,000.00 to reach 5.5 million. They've still got 2 days and change to reach the goal. Joel has added all kinds of extra bonuses and Rifftrax has added a few too. If you've pledged at the 85 dollar level, you're getting a digital bonanza. No reason to think they won't trip the 5.5 million mark, and we get our 12 new episodes, sometime during the Final Countdown Telethon Friday evening.

milo bloom

Can you increase your pledge if you already did it?

whotony

That’s what I’m looking at. The Experiment $85 level. That’s about as high as I’m willing to go n

coyoteblue

Yes, click on the 'Manage Your Pledge' link near the top of the page. You can change your pledge from the Change Your Pledge page.

ViewAskewbian

At at 8:08am ET it became official: they surpassed their funding goal. So, 12 new episodes to come and, tonight, a big celebratory online event with clips, guests and music performances.

coyoteblue

It looks like we might cross the finish line for Bonus Challenge #10 (the "secret" Bonus Reward), before the night's festivities begin. If not before certainly during it. The reward is for all backers...I'm thinking a bonus episode maybe? A Christmas episode for Emily? We'll find out soon enough.
