 Volume 15 from Shout Factory another great set ! March 26, 2009
D. Steigman (USA)

Shout Factory has brought us another set of MST3K episodes for their next set Volume 15. This set is as follows :
EPISODE 102 - THE ROBOT VS THE AZTEC MUMMY - this is the earliest episode to date (only 101 and KTMA episodes would be earlier). This is a K Gordon Murray low budget movie (he also gave us Santa Claus and other south of the border gems) Joel and the bots ( Tom Servo is Josh Weinstein - the only way to see him as Servo or Dr Erhardt is from Season 1) riffle through this OK, but not as good as later episodes when they mastered the technique. It is still fun to watch and interesting in a historical sense since it is an early episode. Joel & the bots big segments are with the Demon Dogs ! This has the short Commando Cody - Radar Men from the Moon Part 1 as well..
EPISODE 509 - THE GIRL IN LOVERS LANE - This is a fun, campy cult B movie with Brett Halsey (Return of the Fly) as a drifter with a young inexperienced drifter named Danny who settle into a town & stop drifting. Brett is Bix Duggan called Big Stupid by Joel and the bots. Bix falls in love but he wants to drift again. Bix also teaches Danny how to survive in the urban jungle & morals as well. Bix gets lynched too in this. Jack Elam plays a greasy bad guy in this. Jack was a great character actor & Crow does a segment to show us that he is. A very good episode and happy it is finally coming out. This is also on Alpha DVD where you can see the scenes that were cut including Joyce Meadows death scene where Jack goes after her at the end...
EPISODE 604 - ZOMBIE NIGHTMARE - Quite possibly one of the best and most popular Mike episodes (this is subject to debate but a lot of MST3K fans did rejoice on this coming out) John Mikl Thor is the zombie (until the ending)killing kids who ran him over. This has the one and only Adam West - TVs Batman. Why he got involved in this is anyone's guess...but you know it is not that awful. No it is not great, but it is a credible movie on its own.A great rock soundtrack (Motorhead's Ace of Spades is the songs intro). A few gore scenes were cut, but for those that want it uncut, toward the later part of 2009, this movie will come out on DVD from Code Red - uncut with a high def transfer.
Great episode, a personal favorite Mike episode.
EPISODE 616 - RACKET GIRLS - This is the one that contains female pro-wrestlers such as peaches. A harmless obscure fun B movie Gangster/Female wrestling movie - that really cant cause Mike and the Bots any pain. If you like WWE this ones for you.This has the short "Are you ready for marriage". I think it is a solid episode, not a popular one but I like the old black & white ones.In a way it reminded me of a cross between Violent Years, Sinister Urge and any gangster movie
This set contains the following bonus features.
Glimpses of KTMA (This was the channel MST aired on - a local Minneapolis channel before Best Brains became part of Comedy Channel)
The Design And Speculative Technology Of MST3K: Joel Hodgson And Trace Beaulieu Visit M.I.T.(NOTE - THIS FEATURE HAS SINCE BEEN AXED FOR TECHNICAL PROBLEMS)
New Interviews with "Zombie Nightmare" stars Frank Dietz, Jon Mikl Thor and John Fasano. I met Thor a few years ago and looked like Billy Idol on HGH. He is not tall, but super buffed and is a great guy - it was a honor to meet him. He played with his Thorchestra in a nightclub in my hometown

Trailers/promos
4 limited edition mini-posters (like you've seen in previous sets)
Overall another great set with some nice bonus features. If you own all the other MST sets, don't pass this up either. A chance to have more good episodes on DVD quality. Not every set will please everyone but overall this has some diversity with 2 Joels and 2 Mikes, and we get 2 Tom Servos as well. No Sci Fi in this set, which hasn't happened in a long time. A lot of fans came during the scifi era that did not catch all the Comedy Central episodes, this is a good opportunity for some fans to see something that they haven't seen before. Overall, personally I feel this set has solid episodes, a historical 1st season episode. I think it is well rounded & I would call this a good batch of episodes. It wont please everybody(no set does), but it should please those of us who love the show & appreciate just having more titles on DVD with superior image quality. Even if there are some episodes we like better than other,the fact is any MST3K episode released to DVD is a good release. Thank you Shout Factory, keep up the great work.
Bad Movies + Wiseguy Bots = Great Laughs September 26, 2009

I've been a MySTie for about 10 years now having discovered the show only after it went on the SciFi channel. For some reason Comedy Central was not available in this area until just a few years ago. I appreciate being able to catch up on the earlier episodes. This has become my all time favorite TV show. Keep 'em coming.
If you enjoy good camp and smart alack robots and don't require high tech CGI then you will probably enjoy this show as well. The only thing is that you have to watch out or you may find yourself riffing on movies, TV shows or commercials just like Joel/Mike and the bots. I have found that this makes some intolerably bad films and TV shows much more bearable. Unfortunately this is frowned on in actual movie theaters and some family members may not appreciate you spoiling a TV show they are in to. Learn to use this power sparingly and wisely.

Four great movies.
"Looks like an atomic nose hair clipper."
The first is Show #102, The Robot Vs. The Aztec Mummy, the second movie EVER shown on MST3K, with a Commando Cody Short, the first short! History! Robot! Aztec mummy! Golf! Bat? Demon Dogs! Check out the early gags that were tired, and died, in the early years. WONDERFUL!
"Uh...camera 3, get off the track. Camera 3...AHHHH!"
Show #509 is The Girl In Lovers Lane. Lots of trains, hobos and MURDER. And a fog horn that sounds like a train. Or a train that sounds like a fog horn. Full of references, from Land of the Lost, to Frodo and Star Trek. Not the best, but funny in some parts. Still, a depressing ending.
"Head! AHHH!"
Show #604 was famous before it was misted. A zombie. Adam West. Bad movie. What more could you want? Well, besides Tom Servo dressed up as Batman! Oh, and Tia Carrere. References to Canada and Kids In The Hall. Welcome to Zombie Nightmare! Hear Taz sing for FIST! Who is FIST? Dunno...
"Back to the dolls."
Show #616 is Racket Girls. Lots of girls wrestling. Oh, and a short about Are You Ready For Marriage? Well, are you? The Robots also try to get married after seeing the short, another famous and very funny point in MST3K history.
Lots of great skits, bad movies and great jokes.

This has got to be one of the best MST3K Antholigies available. Included are some never-before-seen (by me, at least) outtakes from Joel and trace's early years on a Minnisota TV station (wierd, seeing Joel with long hair!)... a must-have for all MST3K fans!
