Instead of a Rifftrax Live this year, they are looking to put out 4 brand new MST3K episodes (the first one being released in theaters for a special showing) with Mike as the test subject, Kevin and Bill as the Bots, Pearl, Brain Guy, and Bobo as the Mads and even some of the original behind the scenes crew coming back. The Kickstarter is live now.

On the April 11, 1999 season premier of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (in what would be the last season on Sci-Fi) TV's Frank (Frank Coniff) and Joel Robinson (Joel Hodgson) made surprise cameos. Frank revealed to Pearl Forrester (Mary Jo Pehl) that his time in Second Banana Heaven was short lived due to coming in conflict with Pat Buttram. He was now working as a Soultaker. He wasn't impressed with Pearl's henchmen Professor Bobo (Kevin Murphy) and Observer (Bill Corbett) at first, but he and Bobo ended up really hitting it off. Joel, who managed a Hot Fish Shop since returning to Earth, revealed that he learned that Doctor Clayton Forrester (Trace Beaulieu) had set the Satellite of Love to self destruct, so spent a lot of money to fly up to the ship to repair it. It was Frank's first appearance since he left in season 6 Sampson vs the Vampire Women (March 25, 1995) and Joel's first since he left in season 5 Mitchell (October 23, 1993). While Joel would return in the Netflix series as Ardy and other characters, he wouldn't appear again as Joel Robinson until June 24, 2022 episode Demon Squad.
