Its time to
bow to the inevitable: there is too much stuff on Netflix I want to
watch. They've got that Voltron reboot by the Legend Of Korra folks;
Stranger Things; Orange Is The New Black; and, it takes them forever
to put their Marvel series out on DVD. The thing that finally broke
me, though?
Yes, the
Mystery Science Theatre 3000 revival is coming to Netflix in April. A
decades later revival of a low budget comedy mocking even lower
budget movies is what has inspired me to join the digital revolution
and sign up for a streaming service.
That's just
so me, isn't it?
(Maybe
they'll finally do Night Of The Lepus this time round. Seriously,
look it up, there are couple of uploads of the full movie on Youtube.
Its a horror movie about giant rabbits featuring DeForest Kelley, it
is both terrible and brilliant and by repute the original MST3K
always had it on the docket but never got around to it. Trust me, you
will not be disappointed.)
I'm
also looking forward to seeing what the new cast are like, mainly
because I don't know their work very well. I know Patton Oswalt
(playing the gloriously named TV's Son Of TV's Frank) from Agents Of
S.H.I.EL.D. but new captive Jonah Ray is a complete mystery to me.
Hell, I may be the only passingly heterosexual man on the internet
not familiar with Felicia Day's work outside of that Buffy character
she played for a few episodes.
(Although,
looking at her IMDB I have discovered there's a Chew animated series
coming out next year where she's voicing Amelia Mintz. Something else
to look forward to...)
So,
classic format, new cast, new terrible movies and this Voltron thing
to tide me over until they arrive. Fun times.
