Mystery Science Theater 3000 is back! In case you didn’t know, the series was just rebooted on Netflix, and renamed Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return, and right now, there are 14 brand new episodes waiting for you to consume right now.

In celebration of this revival, Netflix put out a little teaser where the gang riffs on one of last year’s biggest sensations: Stranger Things. If there is a better example of cross-promotional synergy, I just don’t know what is.

Check out the video below!

While Mystery Science Theater is better known for riffing on B-movies, this latest video certainly makes us wish they’d consider more A-list material. Sure, they may not have the gaping faults of something like Plan 9 From Outer Space, but as was proven in this clip, the opportunity is still there.

What’s more, I guarantee there were at least of handful of people who will head over to Netflix in hopes of seeing an entire episode get the MST3K treatment. Maybe next season…

“Anticipated Reboot of Fan Favorite Series Mystery Science Theater 3000 will be Available on Netflix in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK and Ireland in the “Not-Too-Distant Future.” Original creator Joel Hodgson will be joined by comedian Jonah Ray (“Jonah Heston”) as the new host and Felicia Day (Geek & Sundry) as ‘Kinga Forrester.’

“Mystery Science Theater 3000’s national broadcast life began in 1989.
