The Gizmoplex is closing this year (and S13 downloads are on sale)
News from an email I got today. Download before it's gone.
Unfortunately, on June 30, 2026 the Gizmoplex apps on platforms such as Roku, AppleTV, Android, and FireTV will cease operations, with the Gizmoplex website shutting down on September 30, 2026. We know this platform has meant a lot to many of you — it was built for and by this community — so we don't share this news lightly.
What this means is that if you’d like to continue to have access to content you may have purchased on the Gizmoplex, you should download it to a personal drive well in advance of the September 30th website closure. More instructions on how to do so are available HERE. We have significantly reduced the prices on Season 13 and past livestream events, so if you haven’t had a chance to purchase them, now is the time to add them to your collection.
The good news is that while the Gizmoplex may be no more, MST3K isn't going anywhere. The show remains widely accessible, with its own 24/7 channel, on-demand episodes across many streaming platforms, as well as on the FilmRise app (free with ads), and via Shout! TV on Prime Video and Roku for ad-free viewing.
If you need further assistance, you may send us a message via the contact form at shout-tv.com/contact.
MSTies have always been the heart of this show. You've kept it alive across decades, formats, and platforms, and that means everything to us. We're grateful for each one of you. Thank you as always for your support.
Much as I love MST3K, including this era, the Gizmoplex always was a bit of a weird haphazard reach that never felt to me like it was working all that well. On the tech side they apparently just put a shell on a branded VHX/Vimeo store, but it never really lived up to the "let's build the Gizmoplex!" idea sold to that round of MST's Kickstarter backers.
I'm a bit relieved I got hold of the Season Thirteen blu-ray set from Shout! Factory, which looks like it may be out-of-print now; it does not appear to be on the site Gruv which took over Shout's online store. (There do currently seem to be a few copies on eBay at not-insane prices for the moment.)
Worth noting that Vimeo seems to have already been on pretty shaky ground since they got acquired last year and laid off almost all their staff in January. This may be the ultimate reason for the end of the Gizmoplex.
Oh snap. But yea, I guess I've moved to just watching whatever they're streaming on YouTube at the time.
