MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000: Vol. XXV
Four DVD Box Set Features Previously Unreleased Episodes
Robot Holocaust, Kitten with a Whip, Operation Kid Brother and Revenge
of the Creature
Join the crew of the Satellite of Love as they spread holiday cheer with
the newest release in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 line: Mystery
Science Theater 3000: Vol. XXV. Available on DVD December 4th from
Shout! Factory, this 4-DVD set is a must-have for fans of cult
television shows and B-movies alike and features four episodes
previously unreleased on DVD: Robot Holocaust, Operation Kid Brother,
Kitten With A Whip and Revenge Of The Creature. Also included are all
new bonus features, including introductions by Mike Nelson and Joel
Hodgson, Life After MST3K: J. Elvis Weinstein, Jack Arnold at Universal,
Life After MST3K: Bill Corbett and four exclusive Mini-Posters by artist
Steve Vance.
MSTies who order this collection from ShoutFactory.com will receive
bonus good-tidings in the form of a DVD featuring all nine installments
of the MST-riffed, season one serial Radar Men From The Moon, presented
together for the first time, including the previously unreleased chapter
�Hills Of Death.��Also includes a new introduction by season one�s Tom
Servo, J. Elvis Weinstein.
Since the dawn of recorded history, sacred texts have inspired
intellectuals to enlighten the rest of us through their commentaries. To
a certain, special kind of person � and if you�re buying this 25th
collection of MST3K, pal, you�re one of them � cheesy movies are sacred
texts. And who better to help us navigate the occult meanings of
B-movies� holiest scriptures than space captives Joel, Mike and their
robot companions Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot? Their running commentaries
allow us to laugh at inscrutable plots, painful performances and
felonious filmmaking.
Mystery Science Theater 3000: XXV brings us Robot Holocaust, the tale of
the young drifter, Neo, who leads a ragtag band of rebels against a
robot army and its evil overlord, the Dark One; Kitten With A Whip,
wherein Ann-Margret embodies youth gone bad in this story of a juvenile
delinquent whose violent escape from reform school leads her to the
house of a senatorial candidate; Operation Kid Brother, a knock-off spy
film also known by another title, features Neil Connery (brother of
Sean) as a plastic surgeon with hypnotic powers and a talent for lip
reading who is recruited by a secret organization to take on a crime
syndicate bent on destroying all steel-based power in the world; and
Revenge Of The Creature, the less than classic sequel to Universal�s
classic monster movie The Creature From The Black Lagoon has the
luckless monster in captivity at a South Florida aquarium. He falls for
a beautiful scientist and, clearly aware that his looks pose a
challenge, foregoes the usual courtship rituals and kidnaps her.
Get ready for the funniest study session you�ll ever have as these four
movies, unearthed from the ancient caves of Hollywood, are interpreted
by the long-suffering scholars aboard the Satellite of Love.
If you�d like to pre-order it, we�d appreciate it if you used�this link.
