dang, the final lost MST3K episode was JUST found at a garage sale, and now it's on YouTube for all to enjoy. watch and be astounded that a 38-year-old VHS recording held up so nicely: youtu.be/u_Z4hnagGLE?si=08tKgL5J4957ZVuI

This looks like it was source material! One of the best versions of KTMA material I’ve ever seen!

Didn't it get uploaded by the official MST3K channel last year? www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg5tTEXhKJs

That's the same movie they're riffing on but this is the second MST3k episode riffing on it. The Joel seasons reriffed a few of the old KTMA movies with their new joke cadence and with the new Mads. They also did Mighty Jack, Time of the Apes, and some of the Gameras.

This is an incredible find, thanks for sharing! It's so cool how close we are to having all of MST3K available for free on YouTube these days, officially and otherwise.

From the Reddit thread, looks like this was a broadcast transfer and not over the air, which is why it looks so good. Also Tarl Cabot who does HQ transfers is in touch about cleaning it up some more!

And look! All this time, the ep was in danger of being taped over! The tab on the tape is still intact!

I pulled my battered VHS copy of 'Ghostbusters' that I had bought used from a video rental store in 1986 out of my uninsulated attic to digitize it for a video I did in 2022, and to my amazement, it was still mostly watchable.

VHS seems tougher than what we were originally told all those years ago.

I think a great benefit is that we have much better technology and knowledge these days for converting VHS tapes to digital media!

There are some days when the Internet seems like the biggest mistake human civilization ever made.

Then there's days like today! 😇
