Ash and Sam work with the makers of Time Chasers...

Recently watched the Anaconda rifftrax. Honestly for the most part it was ok, but everything to do with the snakes and John Voight was spot on. One joke at the end was especially amazing. Definitely recommended.

Every Friday in February is going to be Film Crew Friday at Rifftrax. I bought the Killers from Space DVD years ago when my local Movie Gallery closed. I've never seen another Film Crew movie. I'm looking forward to getting the whole series.

Kickstarter rewards are out.

If you did $20 and above, you can get the Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny Live show.


If you contributed anything you can get the Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 2 riff now.
 
The Deathly Hallows pt. 2 riff was pretty good. The Harry Potter, LOTR, and Twilight riffs are some of their best work. I didn't really think the Ice Cream Bunny live show was all that funny due to the fact they reused a lot jokes from the VOD. The House On Haunted Hill live show had the same problem, but not as bad as Ice Cream Bunny.
 
Fuck yes! I'm so in. Can't wait to see the reunion show. I've also wanted to see Mary Jo and Bridgett on a live show, their shorts are hilarious.

I'll probably put in $50 for the full digital package. I hope they don't do many live shows this year. All the live shows last year really hurt their output on the main site in the second half of 2015. They went about three months without a single short from Kevin, Bill, and Mike. I assume all the live shows were what cause them to slow down, anyway. I hope they aren't running out of shorts to riff.

Wizards of the Lost Kingdom was up briefly, and then taken down. I wonder what the issue is. Problem with the rights?

I managed to grab it while it was up, and it was pretty decent riff. I've actually seen the movie before because I watched all these atrocious 80's fantasy movies in college. I mean, it's no Deathstalker II or Barbarian Queen, but it's good for a laff.

Tickets just went up for the Live Show....


Who's bright idea was it to do a live show on opening night for Civil War?

Or is it a genius idea? Maybe they're hoping people who go to see Civil War and get turned away because its sold out will go to Rifftrax Live instead and become fans.

Possibly. To be honest, I'm surprised they had many theaters giving them a theater on that night.

I love that Mothra is the next live riff.

I won't be able to attend the show, but I'll buy the video day one.

I love it when they do old monster movies.

Oh awesome, I really want to watch the reunion again. I wonder if that is the actual date for backers or if it might go up earlier. (Probably not.)
 
I actually didn't find tonight's Riff of Mothra all that great. A few good throwbacks and riffs, but my theater was oddly quiet or restrained with the laughter compared to others I've been to.

These things take places in the oddest theaters around me though. There's maybe 2 visible employees in the whole joint and neither check tickets, so there's this odd feeling of just walking straight through the front door and into the theater every time. I kind of did the travolta.gif the first few times with my fandango order receipt.

makes good threads.
Yeah this was one of their weaker live shows. The Soapy short was great, but Mothra seemed like it just didn't play well for a live showing compared to the other ones. It might be because of how bland most of the movie was, and not in a horrendously bad "Manos the Hand of Fate" bland kind of way. There were still good jokes throughout though.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
I thought the riffs were really good, but the movie itself sucked. Like most kaiju movies, its just boring outside of the monster action. And all Mothra's final form did here was send out huge wind gusts.

The MST3k Reunion show goes online tomorrow. I didn't get to go see it, so I'm looking forward to watching it this weekend.

Looks like Rifftrax is doing another live show, for Carnival of Souls, this Thursday. This one is actually showing at a theater in my area for the first time in a while, so I might go check it out.
 
Went to Carnival of Souls.

Dirt Witch.. oh boy. THE shorts are always my favorites. This one was impressively bad.as for the feature. IT wasn't half bad imo. Some good material in there for them to work with, but even without it i think I would have enjoyed it.

Mr Lindon though. IT was impressive of much of a Slimeball that dude was. PROBABLY the greasiest fuck I've ever seen in any movie ever

Wasn't the Dirt Witch a red head? Why the hell was she a brunette after her bath? Also, what the hell is ACI? I've seen all their shorts that Rifftrax put up but I fail to see the point of them. Was ACI a scam to get grant money and use it for hookers and blow?

Carnival of Souls might be the worst movie i have ever seen. And ive seen niel breen movies.
Agreed, not a goddamn thing was explained.
 
I hate that I didn't know this thread was here.

Wanted to go to Carnival of Souls but I was on the road. Bought the whole Bundle this week, was a no trainer.

Will contribute to the discussion soon.

They are showing it again on Monday. You can see it then if you don't have any Halloween plans.

I bought the DVD of Rifftrax Live: Time Chasers and the Blu-Ray of the MST3k Reunion show last week when they had free shipping on discs. I got them in the mail today and both cases are busted. :/

I've dealt with their customer service on digital purchases and they've been very, very good about helping me out. I'd shoot them an email. Bet they'll help.
