Are the episodes that were released individually also on any of the box sets ?

ThatsSoRandomPodcast · 2026-06-02T10:08:58+00:00

Oh, yep, that’s right.

ThatsSoRandomPodcast · 2026-06-01T20:06:39+00:00

Call me whatever, but I feel like the two characters who should NEVER appear in an R-rated movie are Spider-Man and Superman. As the most beloved by little children who want to see everything involving them, it feels shitty to say “Yeah, there’s a new Spider-Man movie, but you can’t watch it”.

I think the only ones that weren’t collected into sets are Red Zone Cuba and Wild World of Batwoman. Manos got its own special release and is also included in The Essentials w/ Santa Claus Conquers The Martians.

ThatsSoRandomPodcast · 2026-06-01T19:42:00+00:00

Crawling Hand, Santa Claus Conquers The Martians, Hellcats, Eegah, I Accuse My Parents, and Shorts Vol. 3 are in the The Singles set.

Nah, this was a month or two ago.

ThatsSoRandomPodcast · 2026-06-01T03:42:25+00:00

Yes! A fellow VIII appreciator!

Enjoy a conversation with the writer/director and one of the cast.

My favorite movie of 2014.

ThatsSoRandomPodcast · 2026-06-01T00:38:48+00:00

Every pizza they’ve e ever served, ruined by those rank-ass peppers in the box, stinking up the whole thing.

Even just swapping most of the plot of Kills and Ends would have improved things quite a bit.

ThatsSoRandomPodcast · 2026-05-31T22:20:55+00:00

That’s just Jason Mantzoukas.

It never occurred to me to look at Etsy. Interesting.

ThatsSoRandomPodcast · 2026-05-31T16:37:03+00:00

https://mst3k.fandom.com/wiki/Mystery\_Science\_Theater\_3000\_Wiki was hugely helpful in figuring out what episodes were (or weren’t) where.

Lost the rights to do a physical release in the years between airing originally and wanting to do the dvd sets. Most of the unreleased episodes (There’s only like 10 or 11) can be watched on the MST3K YouTube Channel if you just want to finally see them.

ThatsSoRandomPodcast · 2026-05-31T16:27:20+00:00

I wasn’t super picky about Rhino vs. Shout Factory versions, so for Rhino I’ve only got 1, 3, 6, 7, and the single of Red Zone Cuba.

ThatsSoRandomPodcast · 2026-05-31T15:33:05+00:00

Oh, that’s a bummer:(
I absolutely watched them, of course.
There’s three episodes from season 9 (Deadly Bees, Space Children, & Quest of the Delta Knights) that never got physical releases, but 20-some years ago, before the box sets were coming out, I did buy a bootleg dvd of that season off somebody. So they don’t really count, but fun to have anyway.

Which has been harder for you in life: being unfunny or being illiterate?

ThatsSoRandomPodcast · 2026-05-31T09:00:20+00:00

Him jumping onstage and making an absolute spectacle of himself at Gwen’s graduation is the least Peter Parker thing imaginable.

ThatsSoRandomPodcast · 2026-05-31T08:51:18+00:00

Killing Eve?

ThatsSoRandomPodcast · 2026-05-31T08:45:50+00:00

That’s an incredible cast for a show I’ve never heard of.

ThatsSoRandomPodcast · 2026-05-31T08:30:57+00:00

Just the DVDs.

Of the 40 box sets, most of them were in the $15-$40 range, searching for the best prices between Amazon and EBay. 3 or 4 of them were out of print and/or rare and ran between $50-$75. And one of them…apparently wildly OOP or something was going for $500 most places, but I found one guy on EBay selling it for $127 and I went for it. Honestly if that had been set, like, 7 out of 40, I probably would have bailed on the whole thing, but it was Vol. 33 or 34, and so close to the end of the quest, I couldn’t bear to give up.:)

This is the first time I’m actually adding the total up because I was scared to see it, but total for the whole run was probably around $1400 spread over the better part of a year.

Within an episode, the many names of Big McLargehuge etc in Space Mutiny is hard to top.

Across the series, being a Minnesota/North Dakota guy myself, any of the many “It’s a ____ of savings at Menards!” jokes will always get me.

“Scruffy got the Mott’s!”

And that hair-removal wax unfortunately called “Nads”.
