to sample clips of each contender and choose which they would prefer to see released first out of the four announced. The four titles, in order of votes received (and, as a result, their release order), are: Hollywood After Dark, starring Rue McClanahan Killers from Space, starring Peter Graves The Wild Women of Wongo The Giant of Marathon, starring Steve Reeves The episodes were produced in association with Rhino Entertainment, who had been the intended film distributor. However, they parted ways before the episodes were released. It wasn't until 2007 that arrangements were made with Shout! Factory to release the material. The change required some "looping" of lines from the original scripts—specifically, "Bob Honcho" was originally named "Bob Rhino" and this had to be changed as Rhino was no longer the distributor. The DVD releases were in NTSC format but have no region encoding. Each released episode contains at least one extra feature ("Ode to Lunch" in Hollywood After Dark and "Did You Know..." in Killers from Space). Fate During the delay when there was no DVD distributor, the sets were destroyed and the cast moved on to the similar project RiffTrax, complicating any possible future Film Crew episodes. Murphy indicated that "We haven’t gotten any new orders from Shout Factory – the new home of MST by the way – and since RiffTrax is becoming so much fun, I think you may have seen the last of The Film Crew." As of July 2008, The Film Crew's former website, filmcrewonline.com, is defunct. Shortly thereafter, Shout Factory put three Film Crew movies on Hulu. On April 5, 2009, all four riffs became available on YouTube. In February 2016, RiffTrax began selling the Film Crew episodes, either via download or streaming, starting with Killers from Space.
