The free shipping day was amazing. I got a whole bunch of stuff. Do they do this every year? I don't even see how they manage it internationally; the shipping to Australia is always more than the price of the actual discs, which is standard at most stores, of course. I hope I didn't actually cost them money.

lmao @ Superargo and the Faceless Giants. This movie is so dopey.

They do bigger movies once every month or two, in preference of older/lower budget movies that they can license for VOD sales.

Regarding the things about big budget movies and shorts above: this is one of the things I think is pretty cool about RiffTrax over MST3K. Without the set format, they've been able to pretty radically shift focus as they wish. Big movies, cheap movies, shorts, guest stars, live shows.
I saw a screenshot of some RT or MST3K streamed from Amazon that had subtitles, but I'm not sure how widespread it is. Just someone sent Bill an image on Twitter of the sub's depiction of a weird sound he was making.

Only on the first short and this years Christmas Special is amazing.

Our Christmas Eve party is over, so now I'm just chilling on the couch rewatching all the old Rifftrax Christmas Specials and shorts.
Along with my favorite Christmas special, Will Vinton's Claymation Christmas.

Just got a free $10 credit to Rifftrax. Don't know if they're sending it out to everyone, but it needs to be used by the end of the year.
Just checked my email. I got one too. I don't know if I'll use it on a movie or get 10 more shorts. I still have about a hundred shorts to have them all.

I picked up Sketchfest 2016. Those have been good.

The short was one of the strangest things they've ever done, and that's saying a lot.

lol, right after I spent $20 at Rifftrax a few hours ago. Oh well, time to pick up $10 worth more!

I noticed there are now 34 RiffTrax titles that stream through Amazon Prime. Not sure how long they've been there, but I'm sure I don't remember nearly that many the last time I checked.

I just pledged to the latest Kickstarter. $75 gets you all digital versions of all rewards including the stretch goals. Digital > DVD IMO, and Blu-Ray is only (maybe) happening for Samurai Cop, so meh, I'll stick with Digital.
EDIT: $5 more (plus $5 shipping USA) gets you the shirt.

Good looking out. I watched ROTOR on there last week (it popped up as a recommendation in the client) and didn't realize their selection was this expansive on AP. Good stuff to pass the time until MST3K S11 drops.
Glad to see the kickstarter work out again. That was expected, but am very happy it did as well as it did! I was worried that after the reunion show, the funding might have been slower for this one since this would be their fifth (?) year. But it blew away all their previous, non-reunion show kickstarters! Can't wait to see what they have in store for us!

I was just thinking about what movie it could be that they would need to keep it so under wraps...
What if it's the Star Wars Holiday Special?
See it now, for the first time, on the big screen! Get hype for Episode VIII!

It turns out the big secret was that their August live show will be riffing The Five Doctors, the 20th anniversary Doctor Who special.
I'm okay with this.
Yeah, I'm good with it. It's not as amazing as other films it could have been, but that's pretty fun and schlocky.

They announced it with a video of Mike, Kevin, and Bill at the TARDIS set. I'm curious what that's about. I mean, I doubt they went there specifically for this one minute video, and it's not like in-person appearances by the on-screen talent is necessary to sign whatever contracts.

I asked the above at YouTube. Official response
I would've thought most of that would be telecommunications stuff rather than travel halfway around the world stuff for all three of them, but that's why I don't make the big bucks.

I don't know how I feel about them doing Dr. Who. I don't watch the show but isn't it aware that it is a schlocky show? Kinda ruins the point of riffing on it if the show already doesn't take themselves too seriously. I get the feeling that it is going to be a weak show like the Sharknado live shows.

I think there's a pretty big difference between "We know we have silly looking monsters" level of self-awareness and Sharknado.

Everyone needs to go watch the VOD Rifftrax, "The Apple". I have no clue how this got past me.
It's the most bizarre thing I have ever seen, and it's a musical.
It's the Fall of Man told as a musical about conformist music of the 70's vs the 60s....
We also get to see the future Adam Driver...

It's one of my favorites. Not as funny as The Wizard but it's up there.

One of my favorites. I'm semi-ashamed to say I actually find myself humming the terrible/memorable/terrible again songs sometimes.

The Apple, as you might be able to tell from my avatar, has long been a favorite bad movie of mine. I was at one of the very first midnight movie showings of it in LA after it was sort of rediscovered by the neighboring video store. To be in a theater full of people who had never seen it before was truly magical.
RIP Manahem Golan, you crazy bastard.

After seeing that they can do a Musical riff well, I want more than ever for them to get the rights to and riff "The Return of Captain Invincible"

Got the email a few days ago, but never got around to saying anything. I assumed most people here get emails from Rifftrax.
I turned it on a couple times this week and Night of the Living Dead Live was on and some Bermuda Triangle movie I've never seen before.

You mean Tom Bombadil? One of my favorite riffs in the movie.
The Harry Potter Riffs a good and the Twilight movies are a must. 300 is pretty good too.

Rogue One next week!
edit: watching the Psycho 2 rifftrax on PlutoTV, this really is one of their best riffs.

The new Rifftrax VOD, Star Games is, well a perfect Rifftrax movie.
It's a Sci if film from the director of Final Justice and Angels Revenge...
And stars his two sons. Who can't act.
And there is a clown.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
So... I just found out Bill Corbett blocked me on twitter. I haven't posted anything since 2015, never tweeted at him (or ever got in a beef with anyone on twitter, for that matter), and am not a shithead.
Any clues?

Just found out that tomorrow's live show isn't showing at my theater as it usually does! They're just showing the encore on Tuesday. I wonder what changed this time. If you're planning on going you may want to check your theater's schedule for tomorrow to make sure it's still playing.

I just watched Star Games and that movie was made by the devil. It was made by the goddamn devil! I thought Cry Wilderness was incompetently made but this is on a whole new level.

New Rifftrax VOD, "The Littlest Unicorn" came out and it had me wondering.
Is there any actor that has been in more MST3K/Rifftrax films than David Warner?
