Mori’s DVD Shelf is a rumblin’….
Uh oh, hear that? Over at Ain’t It Cool News, Mori’s DVD shelf is shakin’ and rumblin’. At “The Lab,” he spins the freshest DVDs, including South Park Season 8, Arrested Development Season 3 and my newly discovered favorite — MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000!
It’s funny… I sort of accept MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 as a given, something that everyone should know about, but it’s been off the air for seven years at this point, which is a lifetime as far as pop culture is concerned. I’m sure there are people reading this column who never watched MST3K while it was on the air, but for me, it was a weekly ritual with my roommates at the time. Spending time with Joel and the ‘bots, or later with Mike and the ‘bots, it was unlike any other show on TV. For one thing, I loved the idea of repurposing “bad” art into something great, and most of the movies that were shown on the series were films that would have otherwise vanished from distribution altogether. Does anyone really believe that MANOS HANDS OF FATE would have had any sort of secondary life without the help of MST3K?
