At the same time MST3k itself has been in the headlines this week, releasing 80 of their classic episodes to streaming rental-and-purchase site Vimeo. The 80 can be purchased or rented individually for about what you’d pay for any other feature-length video, or purchased in a bulk lot for $300.

In The Wizard’s Challenge on Rifftrax, Robin is speeding along in an…armored car? Hm, that actually sounds kind of cool… And it contains a remote control device called The Neutralizer? Intriguing, what’s it do? Disables The Wizard’s invisibility device!? Wow!! And in order to stop him, The Wizard’s henchmen start dropping bombs out of a custom built plane!?! Holy cow! This must be the most exciting episoHAHAHAHAHAHAH you poor, deluded fool!

In Batman vs. The Wizard, the World’s Greatest Detective, star of Detective Comics, is forced to do some actual Detective Work! The Wizard has been shot in the hand and in a twist that would make the writers of even the worst Scooby-Doo episodes, the ones with Scooby-Dum, shake their heads in disgust, every other suspect in Gotham has also suffered a mysterious hand wound!

Batman Victorious is, at last, the FINAL EPISODE chronicling Batman’s struggle against the Wizard! The suspense is thick, and everyone’s wondering: who will prevail and be victorious? Will it be the nefarious Wizard or — wait, oh come on, it’s right there in the stupid title! That’d be like titling the Seinfeld finale “They wind up in jail” or the Lost finale “Don’t bother watching.”
