One wonders if Shout will pull legacy MST3K from their app and youtube and make this exclusive home for MST3K content. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

It would be a good idea, but they would have some work cut out for them. MST3K is all over the internet. I think every ep in it's entirety is up on YouTube.

Yup - and I've long thought they should be a little more aggressive at taking things down if they conflict with Shout's official offerings. I'd be completely ok with having everything paywalled behind a Gizmoplex if it means the venture is sustainable, but I'm sure the majority of the "share the tapes" crowd would not. Bottom line though, they need to do what's profitable. I wish that the Gizmoplex would mark the return of (or something similar to) Gary's MST3K Cinema Editions. That would be a big selling point to get me on board with paying for a dedicated MST3K service.

They'll still offer old episodes and any other MST3k content just for convenience sake. They'd take down the Twitch, since that will be redundant. Cinematic Titanic? The Film Crew? probably that too. But gotta walk before they can talk about running.
I'm sure its really annoying that Trace, Frank, etc. have to be constantly asked about being part of MST3K as if they need to be shackled to a show that they left, they don't own and didn't create after 30 years, not to mention wouldn't have that big of a part to play.

Let alone the fact both Forrester and TV’s Frank were both killed of as characters when they left. I mean I kinda question what role they would even play at this point. I mean I guess TV’s Frank technicality could come back as a Soultaker again.....but that honestly feels like they’d be pushing it.

I remember seeing something where Joel had a rude response to someone getting the brilliant idea of riffing Cats and asking Joel if Rifftrax could do it and people thinking it was unwarranted. But it is kind of like when you ask the Mads about the new MST3K.

Joel just announced Quest of the Delta Knights if they get 18,500 backers by Wednesday.

On DVD? Isn't 913 already on Shout streaming? Or am I misremembering?

Ah. And you have to be at the 150 level for it.

If only he was offering Delta Knights on dvd or blu ray, too.

none of the classic episodes are going to be on Bluray
Digital download in 480p is just as good as DVD. And you can get it at 150 level? i'll go for that.

While I love the idea of a digital video library, it’s not there yet for me the same way digital music is.
My physical collection of MST3K (complete up until this point) is where I plan to expand. Although I have a copy of Delta Knights, it’s a burned copy with low quality. I’d love a physical disc.

A few episodes have shown up as bonus feature on movies Shout has released on blu, but as implied by your post, there’s no point in putting a low definition video on a high def format, unless you just want to put a lot of episodes on one disc.
