Mystery Science Theater 3000 Vol. 14
comes with two Joels and two Mikes:
1.3 “Mad Monster” (1942) is about a mad scientist turning men into living horrors by injecting them with the blood of wolves. A relic of the series’ earliest Comedy Channel days, when Josh Weinstein played Tom Servo, and the shadows of the commentators were a strange shade of grey. Servo tries to seduce a blender. Jedro the werewolf is discussed at length. The bots swap heads.
4.13 “Manhunt In Space” (1954) is actually four episodes of the “Rocky Jones, Space Ranger” TV show, edited together and released to cinemas for the poor saps unwilling or unable to pony up for their own “television sets.” Mike Nelson plays young, basement-dwelling sidekick Winkie. Joel employs Crow as a musical instrument. Clayton and Frank are captives of their own beanbag pants.
10.1 “Soultaker” (1990) is about a pair of teens on the run from the Angel of Death. Both Joel Hodgson and Frank Coniff returned for their first and last episode of the SciFi Channel era. Mike takes command of the malfunctioning Satellite of Love. Bobo meets TV’s Frank. Joel explains what he’s been up to.
10.8 “Final Justice” (1985) is about a Texas lawman charged with escorting a murderous Mafioso to the Italian authorities. Tom ponders the Yes hit “Owner of the Lonely Heart.” Crow and Tom hogpile Goosio. Crow disparages the Maltese. Half a season before the final episode, Mike fails to escape the series.
Extras include:
* A new interview with “Final Justice” writer-director Greydon Clark (4:11). Learn that it was the first of many films Clark would shoot overseas and received a favorable review in Variety.
* A new interview with “Soultaker” star Joe Estevez (5:16). Learn that the film was shot entirely in Mobile, Alabama. Learn that paychecks were often late, lunch often didn’t arrive on time and the production was often on the verge of being evicted from its motel. Learn that fans call out “Don’t take my soul!” when Estevez is nearby.
* A visit by Mike Nelson and the bots to ESPN’s “Cheap Seats” (3:08). It will make you wonder, not for the first time, why basic cable continues to employ the relentlessly talentless Sklar twins.

can't come quick enough. words cannot explain my love of the venture brothers. and god damn isn't that dvd artwork cool
-
...about time. Hoping you suckers buy the volumes so Disney will release a complete series set for me.
-
Can't breathe...heart has stopped...someone help!!!
-
don't like her.
-
where is that T-NBC show where they all played basketball?
-
And holy shit! California Dreams and the Dana Carvey Show. Don't wake me up if I'm dreaming.
-
introduced, among other things, Robert Smigel's Ambiguously Gay Duo.
-
passing TDCS around on torrents, and put it on DVD.
-
well, when are they being released?
-
Though, admittedly, they do give off a Hudson Brothers vibe.
-
Seriously get these hacks off my television set. Friedlander is so bad on all of those VH1 shows, not to mention 30 rock, that I literally vomited after watching too much. The Sklar brothers are more of the same self-satisfied pithy smartass douchebags. None of them are nearly as funny as THEY think they are.
-
The $$$ they have to pay Vonda Shepard in music roaylties is astronomical.
-
I don't think Tom Savini could come up with something like that. As for the Dana Carvey show, just look at all the writers/performers they assembled: Louis CK, Charlie Kaufman (!), those Daily Show guys, and Dino S. from Mr. Show and Moral Orel. I don't know if any of their sketches were good, but that's why YouTube exists.
-
Larry King & Lou Dobbs stopped dying their hair for a while and they looked horrendous. Now they color it consistently.
-
the mom just popped out her 18th kid a few months ago and there's no dvd's about them?
-
The show is named "It's a Pussy, Not a Clown Car"

http://tinyurl.com/dejgeo !!!! If you want some AWESOME rare and classic stuff, this one slipped right by me. Amnesty International's "Secret Policeman's Balls" have long been a source of keen interest and widespread frustration for fans of British music and comedy, particularly those here in the States. Originally the brainchild of Monty Python's John Cleese, this series of benefit performances featured appearances by members of not only the Python crew, but other British legends like The Goodies and the cast of Beyond the Fringe (and, in later shows, up and comers like Rowan Atkinson, Billy Connolly, French & Saunders, and Fry & Laurie). Most of those early shows were filmed for either cinema or television broadcast, but those films have long been difficult for American audiences to see; their American releases were heavily re-edited and only released on long out-of-print VHS editions.
Now, for the first time, the original British versions of the films are available on DVD. Shout! Factory's new 3-disc set, The Secret Policeman's Balls, collects five of the films from the first and second wave of Amnesty benefits, and while they have come up lacking in the technical department, their value as historical comedy documents is inarguable. further info here http://tinyurl.com/an2clx -
Or is this one of these shows that only got DVD Boxes in Germany?

They don't have to pay for the rights to the Vonda Shepard song
by hypeendshere
they could give her the F.U> and do what Married with Children did. replace it. it's painful to listen to a generic song when you know what's supposed to be there, but I do like that the studio showed some balls and put the DVDs out anyway.
-
http://tinyurl.com/y8vgrt - I myself am buying this tomorrow! :)
-
That should be good for something.
-
How many aired, and how many are in the set? Carvey couldn't sustain a movie career to save his life (Master Of Disguise?), and his live appearences on talk show reek of despiration (to see him on Leno milking the audience for laughs, and trying so damn hard), but I remember this being very funny and somewhat surreal for network fare.
-
An exact replica of an Atari 2600 game cartridge...nice job gents.
-
I was staring at it grinning for so long that by the time I snapped out of it you'd already posted.
-
That had some real insectoid drama.
-
was a skit with George H W Bush milking dogs or cats from a huge set of udders on his chest. I believe the show was cancels because it started to lose sponsors due to such skits.
-
One of the funniest shows ever. Pre-ordered.
Andy: "Wendy, hi are you? I mean... fine." -
With all the recent talk of "Sword and the Sorcerer," any chance "Matt Houston" will ever come to DVD. Lee Horsley's gotta eat, and I just LOVED that show as a kid!
-
"Next week these sets will be $4.99 with the purchase of a fish taco..."
People still buy box sets on DVD? Huh. Guess the internet doesn't reach everywhere yet.... -
It wasn't George H. W. Bush, it was Bill Clinton.
-
I'll have to go ahead on and buy that.
-
Always had a thing for Shawnee Smith. Something about her.
-
I happily stumbled across it when checking if they had the Squatting Monkeys standup special. Clone Wars being released 4 episodes at a time sucks balls.
-
Especially when she was the pregnant chick in Summer School
-
Are they just going to release every show that was ever on television? I can't believe that some of these shows coming out could possibly have any demand whatsoever. I'm waiting to see when "Sheriff Lobo" and "BJ & the Bear" are streeting.
-
And the Sklars were hilarious on it. You make it sound like they are ever present and I can't tell you anything else they've ever done except Entourage. CS had some great guest stars and dug up some real ESPN2 gems. I hope it gets a dvd release some day.
-
Yeah. I forgot that role.
-
Free assuming you have a Netflix subscription of course. I have the Roku box and watched the entire season over a couple of nights a few weeks back. I was always a huge Carvey fan, and getting to see Carell and Colbert fresh faced is great as well. There is some utter crap in there, but also some slices of genius pie. All done with a total disrespect for what Network TV is supposed to be like. No wonder it was cancelled so quickly. Should be required viewing for current SNL writers to teach how if you haven't got a funny sketch, then just fucking try something different, if you are going to bomb, at least do so with abandon...
-
Dave's World AND Night Court? What about the 2-disc deluxe edition Blu-Ray of "Spies, Lies, and Naked Thighs"?
-
I like 'em both.
-
It's about time. I got my copy yesterday. And the wait for season 3 begins. Let's hope it isn't another four years.
