The Dumb Clubhouse Digest #1

Dumb Clubhouse Digest Dumb Clubhouse Digest
 

Hey gang,

Chris here. You know, the guy in all those Dumb promos.

Anyway, for my sanity and yours, I’m hoping to update everyone monthly on what’s going on at Dumb, including livestreams now on demand, upcoming events you won’t want to miss, shiny new Clubhouse features, alleys in Queens you should avoid, and other fun stuff. This month, I want to dip into the aftermath of our successful Clubhouse 2026 Drive, and what you can expect in the weeks to come at Dumb Industries.

Strap in, Dumb Nation.


The Dumb Clubhouse 2026 drive is On Demand and you should totally watch it

Thank you, EVERYONE who attended and supported The Dumb Clubhouse 2026 Drive! If you haven’t watched the replay yet, most of it is available to watch in our Latest Content section, which is where you can always find the latest livestreams from Dumb. While we couldn’t archive Emmy’s entire segment due to copyright issues, we have uploaded the all-new episode of Martian Shadows she dropped on us during the Drive!

Just a reminder, all Clubhouse members get replay access to everything for at least 7 days, but honestly, they’re usually available even longer when we have the space. So if you ever miss a livestream, have no fear! I’ll forgive you and then you can watch the replay at your leisure. And please send photos of you in your Clubhouse Drive merch to me so I can share them everywhere!

Here are a couple sent in to us by Clubhouse Drive guests Joe Lawler and Chelsea Kelly:


We made a lot of announcements and Viewers unlocked A LOT of bonus Clubhouse content this year

We hit all of our goals during The Dumb Clubhouse 2026 Drive, meaning all Clubhouse members will gain access to extensive bonus content that will rollout over the next year from ALL of your favorite Dumb programs. Here’s a recap of what was announced & unlocked, with dates TBA shortly:

  • Super Dumb Bros. will be doing a special bonus episode in which Matt will read from his Oregon Trail-themed Choose Your Own Adventure book and let YOU choose his fate. Yes, he will be substituting whatever name the main character in the book has with, “Glennis.”

  • Martian Shadows fans can expect a special bonus episode in which Emmy Martian will riff the bizarre 2004 pilot of Dark Shadows and premiere it exclusively for Clubhouse members. Emmy also announced a new streaming project that will debut for all Clubhouse members very soon: The Black Lodge.

  • Art Draws Us Together with Jackey Neyman Jones will hold a special bonus art session in which Jackey will guide viewers in painting their own bottles! Matt & Chris also announced an upcoming special they filmed with Jackey that will find her painting along with the iconic zombie flick, Night of the Living Dead!

  • The Witching Hour will get an all-new Christmas-themed episode by the end of 2026, as Matt & Chris get to work on their next project: Ichabod’s Christmas Carol.

  • The Mary Jo Pehl Show fans are in for a special treat as Mary Jo & Chris have committed to hiring a choreographer to create a special dance to The Mary Jo Pehl Show theme song that MJ & Chris will perform! This is a very real thing that is going to happen this summer.

  • Movies Are Dumb, Matt, Emmy & Chris’s riffing show, will be dropping a Clubhouse-exclusive bonus episode of their program, which will be a TBA big Hollywood movie! This special episode will be fully written, produced, and edited—but will not be available for download and will likely not be archived to avoid getting the pants sued off of us. The gang also announced an all-new Movies Are Dumb that will debut on March 31: Curse of the Swamp Creature!

Stay tuned as we begin announcing dates for all of the above!

Art Draws Us Together’s Blood Waters of Dr. Z’s Make-up Session in April

If you were watching The Dumb Clubhouse 2026 Drive live, you know we were sadly unable to have Jackey Neyman Jones lead her bonus Art Draws Us Together segment due to her studio losing internet. But we are going to make it up to everyone on Tuesday, April 14 @ 8pm ET on both Twitch and in The Dumb Clubhouse!

The theme, Blood Waters of Dr. Z, has already inspired quite a few submissions from artists who got an early start on their work (see above), and we can’t wait to see what YOU come up with! If you haven’t attended a session before, this is an excellent opportunity to dip your toes and see how much fun we’re having. You can check out our gallery here to get an idea of the wide variety of skill sets and mediums represented in our community.


The Dumb clubhouse Drive-In Theater is Awesome and so is Carmen Cerra

Have you checked out the all-new Dumb Clubhouse Drive-In Theater Carmen Cerra designed for us? It’s amazing! And you can now watch anything in The Dumb Clubhouse, including our on demand library and 24/7 feed, in this amazing interactive theater.

Speaking of, Carmen recently dropped by the Clubhouse during the Movies Are Dumb section of The Dumb Clubhouse 2026 Drive AND was our first featured maker on Friday’s Chit-Chat & Tidbits with me and Mary Jo!


To the surprise of no one, RiffTrax’s Latest Kickstarter has officially been funded

They gosh darn did it. Our friends at RiffTrax just wrapped up an amazing Kickstarter campaign for MST3K: The RiffTrax Experiments, and we couldn’t be more psyched for them raising over 2.6 million dollars to make four new episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000!

If you backed the campaign at $75 or higher, and honestly, why wouldn’t you have, you’ll also be getting THREE FREE DUMB DOWNLOADS, including The Mads Are Back: A Night of Shorts 16, The Mary Jo Pehl Show Clip Show episode, and Movies Are Dumb: Star Odyssey!

Huge thanks to everyone at RiffTrax for including Dumb in their historic campaign. We can’t wait to see these four new episodes of MST3K!


We need your grammatical pet peeves/questions for Ari Hoptman’s return to The Mary Jo Pehl Show

Our dear friend, etymologist Ari Hoptman, will be returning to The Mary Jo Pehl Show on March 24, 2026 to answer MORE of your grammatical questions and sympathize with even MORE of your grammatical pet peeves. Mary Jo & Chris keep an extensive list of things people say that greatly irritate them, and we can only assume that you guys do as well. You can email those to either mjopehl@gmail.com or chris@dumb-industries.com so that we may present them to Ari on our program!
