Joel sells out!

Not to Disney, though. So there's no need to panic.

That's great news! I love Joel, but he was no executive. He mismanaged the second incarnation of the show. Now there's hope for a more stable revival.

And now Mike swoops in.

Whoah! I was sure that would never happen. Continuity will be near impossible, but who cares? They already shattered their $20,000 goal (which I guess was a joke, because they couldn't have made 4 episodes for $5,000 each).

I'll bet Corman could have if he was of the mind.

First episode announcement is in, and it's Deathsport. Seeing as how this is one of the six movies that was announced during the failed crowdfunding of Season 14 from 2023, it seems probable that the other three will be the ones that RiffTrax hasn't handled yet (IIRC Battle Beyond the Stars, Battletruck, and Ballistica)

I'm OK with the other 2, but I hope they find something other than "Battle Beyond the Stars." I think BBtS is too good for MST3K treatment (though it's fine for Rifftrax, which doesn't insist on the "worst movies ever" motif). It's natural to think they would pick from stuff Shout! already owns the rights to. I used that as the basis for my guesses for Season 11 and turned out to be entirely wrong.
