The History and Legacy of “Mystery Science Theater 3000” leads to the conclusion of Chapter 14: Extra-Curricular Activities! 

Y'all read books? It turns out most of the writers and performers of MST3K are authors. Some even published! And this week (an episode years in the making for reasons you'll learn soon) that took a LOOOOOONG time to research.

There are memoirs, comic books, screenplay tutorials, novels, article compendiums, children's literature, SO MUCH STUFF! HAVE I EMPHASIZED HOW MUCH STUFF THERE IS YET?!?

-Christmas characters get Zack Snyderized in Bill Corbett's "Super Powered Revenge Christmas"
-Charles Addams meets Dr. Seuss in Trace Beaulieu's "Silly Rhymes for Belligerent Children"
-Mary Jo Pehl sticks it to temp agencies in "Employee of the Month"
-Kevin Murphy gets me through high school detention with "A Year at the Movies"
-Frank Conniff writes SIX BOOKS

AND SO MUCH MORE! DID I MENTION HOW MUCH MORE THERE IS?!?

Join your wonky yet affable host for the end of a chapter that you'll really want to bookmark! And buy all these books. They're grrrrreat!*
