Okay, so guys, remember that OTHER watchalong you're having? The first one? The ONLY one? Thats right, Ben 10, okay, so I know this is a Ben 10 wiki, but Dubtrack is not just a Ben 10 watchalong website. Its not. Also, one of the few reasons that inspired CaT to make the Ben 10 watchalong a thing is what I'm about to mention now.

This show, this was what made riffing a thing. This is literally what started the trend of watching bad movies ironically. And riffing is fun, everyone likes it. Its amazingly fun to laugh at something not because its funny, but because its so so bad. So if you're one of the people who like what I'm saying here, then you would LOVE to join this.

So, let me give you a bit of a recap, Mystery Science Theater was a show where "some friends" riff on a bad movie. And those riffs are hilarious. I'm not saying that from experience, I've never seen a single MST3K ep in my life. But what did get my eye, is that MST3K is getting one of the BIGGEST crowdfunded reboots ever. Like literally, ever. So this seems like a perfect time to watch a few eps from this otherworly and bizzare show about people who watch otherworldy and bizzare things.

Also, this is one of those shows, that you'll 100% enjoy more with friends, because thats what its about, in its heart, in the bottom, its about some friends watching something and sharing laughs. Thats what its about.

Now, lets go on HOW and WHEN we're going to watch it.

Lets go over the HOW part first, we'll obviously hop on Dubtrack and find the episodes online.

Echoson: But Street, thats illegal, I'm gonna send cops to bust you, you criminally insane talking concrete.

''Street: No you won't. Shout! Factory, the DVD giant, owns all the streaming and home media rights to the show. And guess what, in honor of the reboot, they've released A LOT of the episodes to watch for free on Youtube. Its 100% legal.''

_______________________________________________________________________________

Now, lets go over the WHEN, now since in every single episode, the protagonists riff on a WHOLE movie, every episode is about 97 minutes. Thats 1 hour and 37 minutes. Thats roughly 1.5 hours. Thats about the time that you could have spent on watching two episodes of your favorite cable show. Thats about the time you could have spent on doing your homework. Thats about the time it would take for you to marathon about 6-18 videos from your favorite Youtube channel. Okay, I'll stop now.

So, because of the time requirement. If this does go to pass, we'll do a bi-weekly watchalong of a single episode, that means once in two weeks, twice in a month and I only plan for this watchalong to last five episodes (I used several "Top _____ episodes of MST3K" lists to find the most popular and most well-liked episodes). So that basically means, we'll be done in about two months. Basically, we'll be almost done by the end of summer vacation.

So, if you think this is a good idea, say "AYE", if not, then "NAY", this thread will close on 1st July, then I will check the ratio of Aye to Nay or the other way around. Peace.
