Today is March 25th, so it's been four months since the MST3K season 14 failed.
Any news from anywhere? I haven't heard any.

Short answer: I don’t think this season is going to happen.

Radio silence may be a good thing. It could mean negotiations are ongoing and details simply cannot be made public until they have concluded. Or in other words: no news is good news.
Unless Joel announces retirement, or there's no new fundraiser announced before the end of the year, I think it's okay to remain cautiously optimistic.

I think the big thing to watch is the gizmoplex. I'm kind of waiting to see a post that says it's just gone down or just plain gone.
OTH, I have noticed they have their constant YouTube feed and that FAST live feed going all the time. That stuff might be giving them enough money to keep things afloat.

as an indicator of the company having no money to pay staff to do anything I point to this very obvious problem in the Pod People episode on the gizmoplex. Going on two years and no solution and no communication. People there are annoyed. forums.mst3k.com/t/corruption-in-some-episodes/21732/17

god, that error's been there for over a decade. i remember streaming it on netflix in 2010 or 2011, whenever i first saw it, and being startled when that part came up. i saw it again on shout factory's own video service a couple years later, and yet again when i purchased a downloadable copy. when shout re-released vol. 3 on dvd they were alerted to the problem and patched it up (probably taking the non-corrupted portion from the previous dvd release?) but it's clearly not something that anybody's bothered to take into account permanently.

I just listened to Jonah's recent appearance on the WTF podcast and said 'i've done 3 seasons and feel like I did it and am ok if there isn't any more'. Said nothing about plans to relaunch.
Sounds a lot like Joel's 'I'm creatively satisfied' take during the kickstarter.

It definitely was not on my downloaded version from amazon.

other jonah updates from that podcast:
He has given up standup comedy. Burnt out on it.
Been bartending on weekends and plans to keep doing so.
His movie Destroy All Neighbors is out in case you missed it.
He talks in depth about finding his friend dead.

Charging money for a defective copy of Pod People is a terrible business practice.. If there is no fix available to them they should say so. nope. Silence.

Today is March 25th, so it's been four months since the MST3K season 14 failed. Any news from anywhere? I haven't hard any. lol its only been four months, why the rush? if they already announced something, it would just be met with the harshest cynicism for trying again so soon anyway. As starschwar pointed out, no news is good news, them taking their time means they could be spending it actually restructuring like everyone wants, making new deals and partnerships take a lot of time. I wouldn't expect to hear anything this year, around the end of the year at earliest maybe

'i've done 3 seasons and feel like I did it and am ok if there isn't any more'. Said nothing about plans to relaunch. Sounds a lot like Joel's 'I'm creatively satisfied' take during the kickstarter. Unconspiracy theory -- we take them at their word. They all did it, did it enough in their minds, and are done with it. Slightly more conspiracy -- I wonder if Season 13 was a lot of No Fun to make for many of the people involved. The whole covid thing. The whole too many cooks thing still going on between writers and multiple casts. The idea of multiple casts. The live streaming and closed releases. I wonder if the whole idea of New MST3K just got soured for a lot of people involved. I know it got soured for a lot of fans. I will say, I think the whole actor's strike is a big red herring. If Jonah, Patton, Felicia, whoever, was stoked for a season 14 they could have soo easily been tweeting and podcasting the day the strike ended which was well before the end of the campaign. I mean it's over now, and has been over for months. There is no reason why the people in question couldn't now be tweeting and podcasting about their excitement for a possible season 14 with "I can't wait to tell you about the stuff that's being worked on/talked about/being planned for next season" type communications.
