Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Singles Collection Review
Brad Cook reviews Mystery Science Theater 3000 The Singles Collection… Yes, MST3K Volume XXXIX was the final new volume of Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes, but Shout! Factory has been rereleasing the old Rhino sets and will continue to do so. The Singles Collection has five episodes that were released singly on DVD, or in the […]
Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XXXIX Review
Brad Cook reviews Mystery Science Theater 3000 Volume XXXIX… MST3K Volume XXXIX is a bittersweet release because it marks the end of an era. Yes, this is Shout! Factory’s final new volume of Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes. (They’ll keep re-releasing the old Rhino sets, however.) They say on their site that it’s the “almost […]
Cinematic Titanic: The Complete Collection Review
Brad Cook reviews Cinematic Titanic: The Complete Collection… The end of Mystery Science Theater 3000’s first run didn’t spell the end of riffing on bad movies. Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett continued the tradition with The Film Crew and RiffTrax, and Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu, Frank Coniff, Mary Jo Pehl, and J. Elvis Weinstein […]
DVD Review – Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XXXVIII

DVD Review – Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XXXVII
Brad Cook reviews Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XXXVII… When I reviewed MST3K Volume XXXV, I noted that you could divide Shout! Factory’s releases of the TV series episodes into the “good” and “great” categories. Volume XXXV fell in the former category, as does the latest one, Volume XXXVII (I skipped Volume XXXVI). It’s certainly […]
Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume 2 Review
Brad Cook reviews Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume 2… It’s been about eight months since Shout! Factory released Mystery Science Theater 3000 Volume 1, but they’ve finally revisited Rhino’s old sets with a re-release of the second volume in the series. Unfortunately, the bonus features only consist of MST Hour wraps for the Cave Dwellers […]
Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XXXIV Review
Brad Cook reviews Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XXXIV… Shout! Factory’s previous MST3K set, Volume XXXIII, was a solid release with a nice complement of bonus features. This new one, Volume XXXIV, seems to take a step back with a more sparse set of extras, like Volume XXXII, but upon taking a closer look, I […]
