I know that some directors object to their films being riffed.

Thank God for Rifftrax, because Hunger Games was a mess. Tracker jackers and muttations galore!

Still, it's publicity for not only "Birdemic", but the sequel, so I'd guess he's pretty happy.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:When they riff good movies (Jaws, JP, Casablanca, Red Dawn) it's good. When they riff crap it's great. But my favorites are completely ridiculous movies (fantasy/Sci-Fi, comic book). The original would have been improved significantly by the line "Don't bogart that cigarette."

Have they ever done a riff for Timecop and if not, why not? It was on TV today and that is one goofy rear end movie.

new VOD today! It's an 80's movie called Nightmare at Noon (also known as Death Street USA?) and stars the one and only WINGS HAUSER! The plot summary is nearly identical to that of Mutant.

Got a ticket to see the Birdemic Live show. Has Rifftrax ever done a Russo-Finnish saga? Those were some of my favorite MST3K shows just because how utterly wierd the cultural disconnect is. I mean in Japanese films, yeah they're weird, but after a while you tend to expect the brand of weirdness they offer. The Russo-Finnish films though, it's like I have no idea what's even going on.

They're all at least 10 bucks worth of entertainment. And I usually grab the most recent couple of shorts at the same time. A small price for more pseudo MST3k.

I finally bought my ticket for the Birdemic event. I had to fly 500 miles to go see it, but damnit, I will see Rifftrax Live and it will be great. What time should I arrive at the theatre? I've heard talk of pre-film "movie trivia" and stuff, but how long before the movie does that start?

I believe the pre-movie stuff is about a ten minute loop. So if you want to see all the joke bits you'll want to show up earlier than that.

It's a good idea to be there nearly an hour early because seats go fast. If it's more than just two going, you have to be there stupidly early

For the Manos one, I got to my theater 15 minutes early and was able to get a seat. The theater was filling up relatively quickly, but there were still plenty of seats available. If you can help it, don't miss the pre-show trivia and stuff like that. It's all pretty loving funny.
