Like any number of B-movie monsters, Mystery Science Theater 3000 is the TV franchise that won’t die—much to the relief of fans everywhere! After runs on local TV, Comedy Central, the Sci-Fi Channel (before it became Syfy), and Netflix, MST3K is back with a 13th season on an independent streaming platform called Gizmoplex. For those of you unaware, Mystery Science Theater 3000 features actors and robot puppets ridiculing low-quality movies from around the world.

Organisers of the Guadalajara Film Festival have pulled the screening of a remastered Santo & The Treasure Of Dracula following protests from the masked wrestler's family about new topless scenes.
Saucy footage that never appeared in the original 1969 film (aka Santo en El tesoro de Dracula) was unearthed by officials of the estate of late producer Guillermo Calderon Stell and offered to festival director Ivan Trujillo.
The film was then restored with the deleted scenes and Trujillo planned to screen the classic as part of his festival.
