Haven't seen Hellboy. Might be interested in it though. I did see Ghost Rider.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 is basically about mad scientists showing a human victim and his two robot companions bad movies in an attempt to drive them insane and then use the bad movie that does so to rule the world. But the host and robots make fun of the movie and keep their sanity, though some movies come close, like Manos and the Hands of Fate, which was so bad even the mad scientists apologized for it.

It'll probably be 26 episodes, which has been the number for all seasons except Season 3, which was half that length at 13.

And I'll try to remind myself - how different is it really from your favorite standalone movie? Or even film series that ended already? The biggest difference is that it's LONGER and there's more to enjoy again and again whenever you feel like going back to these lovable characters and this fun atmosphere. It might take a while but once either the season is done or has proven dissatisfying, I'll rewatch my favorite episodes.

Btw, it's been suggested that Celestia and Luna aren't actually retiring, they're just putting the Mane 6 through a test to see if they'd be ready to rule Equestria if they actually DID retire down the road, and that Sombra's "revival" is really a simulation as part of that test. It would mean no Chrysalis until later in the season, but at least Sombra stays dead.
