Yeah, I asked them that on Twitter, but I haven't gotten a response from them.

Felicia Day doesn't deserve to share the stage with the Mads. At least Rifftrax already has a thing with Jonathan Coulton so he couldn't get called in. On the other hand, Joel.

When they announced Servo's actor is black the next line involves "systematic oppression".

Still, yeah, I'm not watching effing Felicia Day. Sorry, Joel. I don't want these eps. Bet it'll get you a lot of money though.

During Gorgo, the KS racked up around $20,000. Teenagers From Space is almost over and in that there's only been a rise of around 8K. So ... yeah. Joel's gonna be disappointed with today's take.

Don't forget Friday is the coupon code for today and tomorrow 20% nearly everything and every $20 spent gets you a $5 gift card. So remember to buy $20 batches for the best value.

Just be careful, if the amount after the promo is below 20, you won't get the code. Thankfully support is going to get me the code in a day or two.

You can get a discount on The Wizard. I did. The reason it doesn't apply to Miami Connection is that it's a pre-order.

Is there a software to trim off the annoying intro from the newer videos? I tend to stick some of these videos on a random playlist and don't want to suffer through the lovely theme song.

Just use Windows Media Maker or some other really basic video editing software.

I put my Rifftrax in iTunes. There's an option to change the start time of the video. That's what I do to avoid the intro.

They went to a shorter one. I like both. From a marketing/brand perspective, they really should have been doing an intro from the beginning.

I do too. Truthfully a lot of Rifftrax has been ad hoc and trial and error due to the initial setup for it and well creating a whole new business model.

I feel that since they were acquired, it's become a lot more formalized and professional (in a good way mind you) moving to more art vs simple photoshop advertising as one example.

They have a far stronger brand image then before. Still you can see references to zunes listed in older files so there is room.

But as a whole I feel they've gotten a lot better just in the past 3 years.

However, I will add in all my professional dealings they were also excellent to work with.

Actually themselves. My mistake. Legend originally owned a part of them, but Rifftrax bought themselves out from Legend in 2012. I guess the point of dramatic improving since they purchased themselves is still valid though. :)

I think when I dealt with them the purchase had not yet occurred.

quote:

The site was launched by Nelson and Legend Films, now renamed Legend3D, in 2006 and is based in San Diego. In 2012, RiffTrax was purchased from Legend3D by Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett and RiffTrax CEO David G. Martin.[citation needed] As of December 2014, RiffTrax had 13 employees.[1]
