MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000
This August, Shout! Factory TV presents two classic MST3K episodes available exclusively month-long!
Multiple Emmy®-nominated and Peabody Award-winning Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) is a true cult classic. Its high-camp rendition of B-movies from every genre to the small screen makes it one of the most memorable pop culture shows of our time. Brimming with laugh-out-loud commentaries from caustically hilarious space travelers Joel Robinson, Mike Nelson and their robot pals Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo, MST3K was a genuine phenomenon. Its popularity spawned an MST3K fan following that numbers over hundreds of thousands of fans world-wide.
MST3K: Manos: The Hands of Fate
Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Sure, there’s math to back that up, but the far more compelling proof is in the treatment accorded “Manos” The Hands Of Fate by those physicists of comedy at Mystery Science Theater 3000. Consider this legendary low point in film history, widely regarded as the worst film ever made, which depicts a family that gets lost en route to a vacation and stumbles into the lair of a cult. Since Satellite of Love captive Joel Robinson and his robot sidekicks Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot react to movies, it follows that this particular episode must be a glorious high point in Mystery Science Theater history. Glorious it is, as the film’s characters battle a half-man, half-goat and an evil man in a robe, and the members of the Satellite of Love battle terrible writing and acting.
MST3K: Mitchell
The trio sits through a dreary Joe Don Baker disasterpiece as Gypsy tries to find a way to save Joel from being killed by the Mads. Mitchell tells the story of a sleazy, incompetent detective who tries to simultaneously take down heroin dealers and a socialite who murdered a burglar.
ULTRAMAN (All 39 Episodes)
When the world is threatened by alien invaders and giant prehistoric monsters, there is only one agency equipped to handle the situation, The Science Patrol, an ultra-sophisticated police force equipped with high-tech weaponry and spacecrafts. Led by Captain Muramatsu, the team defends the planet from the unknown. Unbeknownst to the team, one of their members, Hayata, has the ability to transform himself into the giant superhero from Nebula M7B, Ultraman, when all their weaponry and skills can’t stop their foes!
Created by special effects wizard Eiji Tsuburaya (Godzilla, Mothra), the 1960s television series Ultraman remains one of Japan’s most beloved science-fiction exports. Airing between 1966 and 1967 with a total of 39 episodes, the live-action series followed a high-tech police force and their alien superhero Ultraman as they battled to save the Earth from invading aliens and monsters.
THE DICK CAVETT SHOW: HOLLYWOOD GREATS
Shout! Factory TV keeps up the monthly themed The Dick Cavett Show releases, curated for fans of rock icons, comic legends, and many more groupings of entertainment’s finest subjects. This September, Shout! Factory TV is streaming a collection of fourteen episodes featuring iconic Hollywood personalities, including two never-before-released episodes featuring Steven Speilberg recorded in 1981.
Comedians, politicians and rock stars all graced The Dick Cavett Show stage, but the audience favorites were often the movie stars. The Dick Cavett Show: Hollywood Greats includes candid interviews with such legendary stars as Bette Davis, Kirk Douglas, Fred Astaire, Robert Mitchum and Debbie Reynolds. Cavett also often played host to stars on the other side of the camera; interviews with celebrated directors Orson Welles, Robert Altman, Frank Capra, John Huston, Peter Bogdanovich and Alfred Hitchcock also appear in episodes as part of this collection.
THE GOLDBERGS (All 71 Episodes)
Meet the Goldbergs, a lively Jewish family living in the Bronx. There are the dutiful children, Rosie and Sammy; Jake, the hot-tempered husband; old-world Uncle David; and, of course, the ever-cheerful and gracious matriarch Molly (Gertrude Berg).
With lots of extended family and neighbors, the Goldberg home is always overflowing with joy, laughter and love.
The Goldbergs began as a radio show in 1929 and originally aired on television from 1949 to 1956. It was created and written by Gertrude Berg, a radio and television pioneer who achieved national celebrity and influenced American popular culture with her beloved character Molly Goldberg.
