| #5 Posted on 18.3.10 0142.48 | Instant Rating: 3.89 | A bit late to the party, but I have to say that I initially forgot that the new MST3K set was going to come out. Just in case other MST fans here care, the next set comes out tentatively on July 13'th and here is the info:
In celebration of the arrival of Mystery Science Theater 3000, Vol. XVII, Shout Factory has informed us what episodes will be featured in the next set, “Mystery Science Theater 3000, Vol. XVIII.” They are: • episode 208- LOST CONTINENT (“Rock climbing, Joel.”), • episode 417- CRASH OF THE MOONS with short, “General Hospital”–Segment 3 (“Boopie!”), • episode 621- THE BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS with shorts: “Money Talks!” & “Progress Island, U.S.A.” (“Flag on the moon…”) and • episode 813- JACK FROST (“I’m dowling!”).
Credit for the info goes to www.mst3kinfo.com
Jack Frost being on the next set= Awesome.
