New MST3K Kickstarter

 

As you might recall, back in 2015 Mystery Science Theater 3000 did a record breaking kickstarter to bring back the show, which ultimately went to Netflix. Since then, Netflix "cancelled" it. Now there is a kickstarter to bring it back and cut out the middleman - shows will be released on a streaming service 100% dedicated to MST3K. Users will be able to stream live events, classic episodes as well as new seasons. And it will last as long as the money lasts.

It's a good idea, we'll see what happens.

Game Grumps - Chop Chop

 Be warned: this fruit dating simulator is slightly not safe for work.... which is a real sentence that I've always wanted to type.

Late Night - World's Best Coffee

Late Show - Siskel & Ebert Go Off the Rails

 I've been going down the rabbit hole of Siskel and Ebert lately. It seems infinitely watchable - it's a great nostalgia from my youth and the list of movies I want to hear them talk about just keeps growing. I want to hear what they thought of great movies, I want to hear what they thought of really terrible movies and then most of all I want to hear what they thought of movies that can go either way. It goes on and on. 

I don't know if anyone shares this phenomenon so I won't be sharing "Siskel & Ebert highlights" here but this clip came up and it's fantastic.

The Greatest Mister T Mystery of Them All

 

According to imdb, there are 30 episodes of "Mister T" and, also according to imdb, Mr. T is a part of the cast of 15 episodes. How? How can there be "Mister T" episodes without Mr. T? How is that possible? 

Edit: I think I figured it out... IMDB has episodes that have no credits associated so it doesn't count Mr. T as having been in them. Another mystery solved, gang.

The Invention of Cereal

 This will sound like a joke but it's not: I've always wondered about the history of cereal. Now I know. Turns out it's very interesting.
