Okay if you get the chance to go see them live before this tour is over, do it. We had a blast. On top of the movie riffing being really funny, we saw some really awesome cosplay including a lady as Dr. Forrester.

That wasn’t even the most insane part of that movie. The ghost of Bruce Lee coming back to teach some dumb kid in the most dickish way possible, and they couldn’t find someone that looked remotely like Lee?

The whole Bruce Lee ghost thing is easily one of the most bizarre ideas they could've come up with. Would it really have been that hard to just have an actual teacher he learns from?
Maybe they thought developing another character would take away from the irrationally vengeful fat guy's screen time.

I feel like I heard somewhere that there's like this weird obsession with Bruce Lee in certain parts of the world (especially when it comes to these janky/bootleg-ish kinds of movies) so it's not that surprising to me. I think there's like an obscene number of crappy "Bruce Lee" movies starring look-a-likes for this reason.
Intermission time. The movie is No Retreat, No Surrender and wow it’s perfect for MST3K.
Ah, yeah. Nothing like an unknown JCVD playing a buff Russian stooge named Ivan with the world's thickest Belgian accent.
"It is you. The son. Is it not?"
"But this time it'll be different. Russian"
Ivan flies into an insane rage
I fucking love that movie.
S...spoilers?
The dad at the beginning in the space of 3 seconds? "Karate is not to be used for violence--but if I _have to_..."
All black people are intensely invested and immediately pitch in to save Jason's love life?
The fat stacks of montages... the plot that doesn't make sense in a country where people can own firearms?
I love that Bruce Lee's ghost, when he shows up, is terribly abusive! He teaches karate by just kicking the shit out of Jason and belittling him constantly.
Amazing.

The same show is coming here on December 4th, can't wait. Are the quips the same every show?
Sad news, but I saw it coming, between the shortened second season and how cancel-happy Netflix got. On the plus side, there's like 47 other streaming services they could jump to now. Maybe VRV?

You know what? Nanowrimo's cancelled on account of the world is stupid.
Honestly if they get picked up by Hulu or Amazon I might just drop Netflix finally. They keep cancelling everything I enjoy, so clearly I’m not who they want purchasing their service.

I am excited for the possibility of any new MST3K, says the person who built his own Tom Servo and Crow and is currently wearing a hoodie he got at the last MST3K Live Show.
They are self funding season 13! It will go as long as they get money. Also their own streaming thing.
It's a good idea. Joel is trying to future proof this venture. I think he has the community and backing to do it. Here's to hoping they get the $5 million to have all the goodies.

I think so, but there are a few localized jokes depending on where they are.
I...
well...
huh!
Also there's one for Rifftrax just in case you weren't too inundated with choices already.
It should be available on the mst3k YT page. Joel wanted it to last for a while.
