MST3k is coming back!

[Magical Realist]

Gotta say I'm a huge fan of this show. I hope they air it on a nonstreaming station.

We won't be attending a "Time Bubble Tour" appearance in person (list of cities).

But apparently the "13 new episodes" will be available on MST3K's own streaming "Gizmoplex" platform (one every month?). Maybe this Season-13 will eventually make it to conventional venues someday (i.e., years).

When Gizmoplex goes up on the internet, people can visit it without being a member, and access some features. But can't view the live events minus a pass, nor after a new episode is available to see as a recording. (I could be wrong about the latter, but it doesn't seem likely since they're so dependent on donations.)

What is the Gizmoplex?

The centerpiece of this plan is the Gizmoplex, essentially an MST3K streaming service where the new episodes can air along with specials, live events and shorts. [...] creation of a Gizmoplex app for various streaming devices.

Will I need a Gizmoplex Pass to use the Gizmoplex?

No! Members will get access to extra content and all live events, but many [i.e., not all] Gizmoplex features will be available for everyone to use!
   
What DOES a Gizmoplex Pass get me?

Access to all of our live events, monthly member content, and much more!

I just want to see the new episodes. How do I do that?

If you don't care about owning all of the new episodes we make, but still want to see each one as it comes out, you'll be able to do that with the Gizmoplex Pass. After our first episode premieres, we're aiming to premiere one new episode each month -- so, each month of Gizmoplex Pass access gets you a ticket for another episode premiere, until we've premiered all of our new episodes.


What if I can't be online for a live event? Can I still see it?

Yes, you'll definitely still be able to see it. After each new episode has its "live premiere," both the episode and a recording of the full live premiere event will be available to watch "on demand" in the Gizmoplex for at LEAST the following 30 days.

So, if you can't make it to one of our live events, you will be able to watch (or rewatch) everything you missed for at least a month! You just won't be able to join the live chat, or participate in any of the interactive parts of the event, because, you know... they'll already be finished.

Damn it. I just knew it wouldn't be accessible. Everything's about making money these days. Forget the sheer value of the art.

Unless you're on welfare or retirement, most people cannot afford to work for free. MST3K made money in its previous incarnation as well.
