After a two season revival on Netflix, the iconic series Mystery Science Theater 3000 is moving to The Gizmoplex, MST3K‘s own streaming service, for its latest season – which is the show’s 13th season overall. Six months ago, it was announced that two of the thirteen movies that will be riffed on the new season are Robot Wars and Demon Squad. Now the titles of every movie in the line-up have been revealed!

That sounds like a winning season to me! I have been a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 since I was a kid, so I’m glad to see more episodes getting produced. This season earns bonus points from me for having some Full Moon movies on the list.
