And now a bonus holiday episode if they reach $5.9 million! A long shot, but I don’t rule it out.
It’s possible. They’d raised over $100k in the last two hours. $80,500 to go for $5.5M
<Crosses fingers>
How do we watch the live telethon? Where is it streaming?
mst3k.com, I think. I’ve got a hot date (with my wife), so I won’t be watching.
ETA: Looks like just $5k to go for $5.5m
It’s supposed to have started, but I don’t see a live telethon anywhere. Anyone?
Thanks!
They made it to the full amount!
Full amount and then some — they raised enough for fourteen episodes, and the Veronica Mars movie’s status as the highest-funded film and video Kickstarter project.
Woohoo!
Beef McLargehuge! Rock Smashgroin! Thick Runfast!
How much did the add-ons contribute?
Did you see the live feed last night, at some comic shop? Gypsy and Servo were looking over the shelves. Sweet!
They will now make 14 episodes of MST3K. Awesome.
Do we know when we’ll find out what movies they’ll be taking on?
Joel has said he wants to keep them a secret, so people aren’t Googling and watching them ahead of time. Assuming they don’t leak, we’ll find out when the episodes are released.
When can we expect to see any of the new episodes? I hope within the next 6 months?
We made the full amount!
Sorry, this was the first kickstarter I’ve ever backed and I’m a bit excited. Thanks to everyone who helped pull this off.
What excites me even more is the talent interested in this show.
This is no guarantee that the show won’t suck but there’s an awful amount of talent trying to make sure that doesn’t happen. This could make mst3k a show that transcends it’s stars and has real legs going forward. Kinda like a cult SNL for comics.
I think it was smart not trying to reboot with the same crew.
I guess it depends on what kind of distribution they pick up, and how quickly. Right now there is no plan for actually showing the episodes once they’re produced.
