As much as I love Joel, Mike & the bots will always be my guys. I’m so much more excited for this than the Netflix seasons!

    This is incredible news! I’ve liked all the hosts, but Mike is my guy (probably because I saw him first!).

    That’s rad.
    My favorite MST3K riff gave me something to do any time I’m flying over Chicago.

    “Hey look! You can see the Cubs losing!”

    That’s amazing news - I enjoy Rifftrax a lot, but having those 3 in character as Mike and the bots just adds that extra something else. That, plus the host segments, which is another part I miss when I see a Rifftrax episode. And MJP as Pearl, wrangling Bobo and Brain Guy as well?? Woo hoo!

    I am here for this for sure. The thing that got me most excited when I saw this kickstarter was actually this pic:

    Beez, Art, and Patrick

    Beez and Patrick! But the thing my eye went to was Crow’s arm/claw. That an old, just for show, Crow arm. That’s a Crow meant to be puppeted by the actor (Bill).

      Yep! Going by the Kickstarter video they’ve completely reverted to the Sci-Fi era puppets, ditching the modifications made to them during the Netflix/Gizmoplex era.

      Yeah, so much about all of this seems great. I already backed at the Blu-ray level.
