An MST3K Reunion of Epic Proportions

POSTED BY , 24 July 2007

The guys from Mystery Science Theater 3000 are back… well, sort of. Three of the brains from the cult show (including seminal MST3K crewmembers Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy, with Bill Corbett rounding out the crew) have reformed under the moniker of the Film Crew to carry the torch that MST3K pioneered and parlayed into a rabid cult phenomenon. The original show grew from a public access TV show, to Comedy Central, and eventually Sci-Fi Network where it dissolved after 11 seasons. Rather than produce episodes for television, this time around the crew will be releasing the episodes straight to DVD.

 

For those in the dark on the subject, MST3K is one of the funniest, most brilliant indie-projects-turned-big in human history. The premise involved a guy and his sidekick robots forced to watch the worst movies in film history, while commenting and joking on the movies all the while. It was a simple premise which was turned into pure genius at the hands of the brilliant people involved in Best Brains at the time. While fan favorites Joel Hodgsen and Trace Beaulieu are not involved this time around, there is certainly enough of the original crew here to send fans into a fit of excitement.
