> So anyway, anybody have a recommendation on where to start next?

As in more episodes of MST3K? The offical YouTube channel has a number of episodes uploaded.

My personal favorites on the official YouTube channel are:

  • The Robot Holocaust: "In the future, a group of renegades fight to free mankind by battling the Dark One, the Room of Questions, the Vault of Beasts, and other menacing creations." The first season struggled while finding their footing, but this early episode is still fantastic.

  • Time of the Apes: "A woman and two children take refuge in cryogenic capsules, only to awake as fugitives in a world populated by anthropomorphic apes." This episode is actually the show's second crack at this early '70s Japanese adaptation of Planet of the Apes. It had previously been featured when the show was running on a local television station in Minnesota.

  • The Painted Hills: "Lassie, Poetic Justice, and more!" Also features a 1950s short teaching hygiene to college students.

  • Mitchell: "Mitchell is a cop who plays by his own rules. Of course, his rules usually involve heavy drinking, abrasiveness, and all-around sleazy behavior." This is the final episode for Joel, the original host of the show. He couldn't have asked for a better send-off.

  • The Brain That Wouldn't Die: "Just because your girlfriend was accidentally decapitated, that doesn't mean the relationship has to end!" The first episode for the show's second host, Mike. We explore matters of medical ethics such as human experimentation, patients' rights, and strip club catfights.

  • Village of the Giants: "A child genius creates a growth formula that ends up in the hands of some incredibly annoying teenagers." Starring Ron Howard as the child genius!

  • Samson vs. the Vampire Women:
    "Samson (AKA El Santo) may look like an ordinary masked wrestler, but he's so much more! He takes on the vampire women of Mexico and fights for justice against their leader, the creatively named The Evil One." Luchador, vampire women. Need I say more?

  • The Touch of Satan: "A young man gets lost while driving, and becomes the guest of a young woman who turns out to be a witch." This movie has some of the most bizarre writing and acting I've ever seen, which makes it a perfect subject for MST3K.

    Now, I don't currently have an active Netflix account, but there should be 20 classic episodes available there, all of which are among the consensus fan favorites.

    The big omission from all this is "The Final Sacrifice", considered by many to be the best episode of the series, or at least the best episode for introducing new viewers. Shout Factory, the current distributor for the series, lost the rights to the movie recently so it's difficult to find legal options.

    It does appear to be available on VHX and Amazon.
