I remember enjoying quite a bit of MST3K but also have been burned by revisiting nostalgia too many times so I tend to just leave things alone now. I know it's subjective and not a fair question, but is the newer MST3K worth following up on?
I don’t like them as much, but Jonah at least feels like a legitimate third human on the satellite after Joel and Mike. Starcrash is one from that Kickstarter season to check out.
At this point it sees the fans are split into people who follow whatever MST3K and Rifftrax do, “keep sharing the tapes,” and people who liked MST3K because it was funnier and scrappier than other shows and tapered off when it lost that. I lean toward the latter, but I’m friends with the former and we make it work.
pluto.tv has the older "Joel" episodes and I've been enjoying them occasionally. The newer stuff for me has a bit too much "drama kid" energy, if that makes sense.
I loved their spin off Rifftrax.com, a bit tricky to get working, but worth it to hear the same guys trashing blockbuster movies instead of B movies.

Which is funny, because since then, MST3K had a wildly-successful Kickstarter, and managed to bring back 3 more seasons.
