The innovative movie-riffing show is back April 14. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\" target=\"_blank\">Netflix<\/a> announced just before 1 a.m. EST this morning, Tweeting a photo of the cast. Around the same time, show creator <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoelGHodgson\" target=\"_blank\">Joel Hodgson<\/a> made the announcement to Kickstarter backers via e-mail, mentioning Netflix had just informed him after a screening and Q&#038;A in Los Angeles for backers. So you have plenty of time to ask for that Friday off to get the jump on your binge-watching. That&#8217;s fourteen new episodes and a new cast to digest. Make sure you have plenty of water to keep hydrated, and maybe some space meals. And maybe butter. Big handfuls. Or to taste.       <\/p>\n<p>The Tweet from Netflix: <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Get ready for the Robot Roll-Call:  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MST3K\">@MST3K<\/a> is coming to Netflix April 14! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iYVT7RhcTo\">pic.twitter.com\/iYVT7RhcTo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Netflix US (@netflix) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/netflix\/status\/834279202589323265\">February 22, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nickzaino.com\/departmentoftangents\/2016\/06\/28\/department-of-tangents-minicast-mst3k-reunion-edition\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to listen to a Department of Tangents minicast<\/a> with Hodgson, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TraceBeaulieu\" target=\"_blank\">Trace Beaulieu<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MaryJoPehl\" target=\"_blank\">Mary Jo Pehl<\/a>, released last June to celebrate the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rifftrax.com\/rifftrax-live-mst3k-reunion\" target=\"_blank\"><em>MST3K Reunion Show<\/em><\/a> hosted by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rifftrax.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">RiffTrax<\/a>.
