Is Joel actually willing to part with it? And is anybody willing to really take it over? We don't really know if it's up to just Joel. Shout! may own anywhere from 50%-100% of it. we know Joel doesn't own more than 40% of it. It's not up to joel.

MST3K 14 Productions, LLC, founded 7/14/23, was voluntarily terminated on March 5, 2024. Nothing has replaced it, that I can find. The Season 13 production company is still active. Gee so i take it we're NOT getting a crowdfundr just in time for tax season? Seriously, i know how badly people here want more nu-MST3K here and can't wait for the next crowdfundr to brag about how they aren't supporting it but they need to step away from this for a good long while.

No one has any other comments? Okay, I'll throw two out -- her selling this means
1) She doesn't think she'll need it again
2) No one is around to ask for it back
Oh, and a side third -- her actually having it instead of it being in a prop/wardrobe department somewhere is another example of Joel not knowing how to manage anything. At least in this case it worked out, at least in MJs favor.

I’m sure after the streaming service was abandoned for a year plus before any update at all certainly helped with the decision. Left to rot, the virtual backer wall has vanished without a trace.. somehow, becoming a nothingness in the void of the internet’s fleeting nature.

It's also possible it was gifted to her. It's not unheard of for shows and films to let cast members take home mementos from the production. Though, the idea that she's selling it outright really does imply that we've seen the last of Pearl. It could simply mean she's retiring from her work in front of the camera, or that whatever new direction the show goes in will be significantly downsized in terms of cast. Which would be a good thing. I like Mary Jo, but Pearl was never the most endearing character, and she had very little to actually do in the revival seasons.
I guess it could also mean she is going to be back, but they will be going for a new costume going forward. But if Joel is actually spending significant thought (and budget) on wardrobe at this juncture, that's probably a bad sign.

Also dont understand how wardrobe can't somehow make another one, is that how those depts work? hell, $1700 they can make 50 of them. Much smarter to sell it as memorabilia than reuse it as a prop. Love how people have to catastrophize every sweet little thing.

So they're live streaming some (all?) of Season 13. I don't know if that is a good sign or a bad one.

Live streaming all of season 13 as a potential hint of getting season 14 just feels like big wishful thinking if I’m being honest.

So they're live streaming some (all?) of Season 13. I don't know if that is a good sign or a bad one. They have been streaming all of the old seasons and recently a Shorts Marathon as well, I saw that they were streaming S13 and thought to myself "I feel like they should have gone the youtube route a long time ago" and then went about my day. I've kinda stepped away from MST3K as a whole for a bit after feeling a tad burnt out, specially with the kerfuffle with the S14 funder but I do keep it on in the background at night for sleep purposes (best method to fall asleep is to put on an episode you dont like and you'll fall asleep super fast) as far as the people attached to the show, I think the "I just want free of this" feeling has finally set in after the failure of the fundraiser. Granted there might be a few of them (my guess Emily and the tour crew might not feel this way) and I do feel bad for them. All in all I think MST3K should just end or maybe have their own "Movie" to tie up the loose ends of the NuMST3K series and be done with it. One last thing, I found a movie, that would be perfect for MST3K/Rifftrax to riff, and I'm surprised neither have done so. The movie is called "Max Magician and the Legend of the Rings" and it is by far so bad its good or bad its bad (depending on the threshold for bad movies that you have) and I give it a recommendation you can definitely find it online in any case those were my 2 cents on whats going on.

MST does indeed make good ambient noise to fall asleep to, even just playing the movies on their own helps.
The KTMA episodes in particular have become a great way to help my insomnia.
