A New Gizmoplex Sample (and fateful hands again)

Along with a new season of episodes, the just-started Mystery Science Theater 3000 streaming service promised “special presentations.” The first of them was announced to be a tribute to the infamous “Manos: The Hands of Fate,” obvious enough in a certain way but at least letting me suppose I could try it out as I’d tried out the opening episode. In the lead-up to the presentation, I was also informed one of the new riffed-on shorts that had been one of the several stretch goals reached in the crowdfunding process would be shown off, and then learned that would lead off the presentation. Hoping this would look further back than the current emphasis on “widescreen movies” might result in, I remained intent on taking in the presentation.
