I had a feeling this would be the phrase people would walk out of the theater saying…
A few thoughts:
Overall, a terrific show, maybe their best so far.
My theater was about half full, similar to past shows. It was probably all the same people. I had to fight traffic coming and going because A-Rod was playing in the ballpark next door. Grrr.
There were a few unavoidable “live show” moments. A couple times where the camera went blank for a minute, and then cut to the camera in the back of the hall. Some kind of a miscue, there, I guess. There was also one really long closeup of Bill while he wasn’t saying anything…
I have never been a big fan of the somethingawful.com stuff in the past and while these were decidedly wacky versions of the same sort of thing he gave us last time, it was pretty much the same sort of thing he gave us last time. The best I can say about them is that they were short and silly in places. That being said, they were completely worth it for the callback Mike did three-quarters the way through the movie.
The movie runs 94 minutes, just about a perfect running time for this. “House on Haunted Hill” was just a little too long and “Reefer Madness” was just a little too short. This was JUUUST right.
More thoughts tomorrow when I think of them…
What did you think”?

Only about 20 to 30 people maybe in our theater but a lot of loud laughter. I thought this was a PERFECT film for riffing and the guys did a great job. My husband had to explain the “protect your Sailor Moon dolls” (or something of the like) riff to me (WTF, by the way). Loved the “What is Nothing” short also.
Fun fact: The queen (is that what she was? Elaine’s mom…) played by Anna Lee was a long running character on MST short subject and popular soap opera General Hospital. I know this because I grew up watching this show as my mom taped them daily and watched them after work.
This was the first Rifftrax: Live that I got to actually see live and in-person in Nashville (I was front row too, bay-be!) The whole show was so much fun and an absolute hoot. Since it was a little different actually seeing it in person, it’s a bit hard for me to say how much better or worse it was then other Rifftrax: Live shows, but I will say that in my honest opinion, it was the best one I’ve seen yet. One of the reason I enjoyed it so much was that quite honestly, I didn’t think the movie itself was all that bad. Was it goofy? Heck yeah!!! But, I thought it was goofy in a fun sort of way and watching Mike, Kevin and Bill work their magic in person just added to the fun. It was an absolutely awesome night!!!!
As a side note, I don’t know if she’s usually at these Live shows, but Bridget Jones (MST3K writer/ cast member and Mike’s wife) was there. I had never seen her in person or met her before. She’s a SUPER cool, nice lady!!
First time I’ve attended a live show. I brought a friend who was familiar with MST3K but not Rifftrax. We laughed throughout both the shorts and movie. That “Nothing” short was mind warping. Our medium sized Central California theater was about 70% full. That was actually more than I expected. I’m definitely going to attend future live shows. It’s much more fun for me to hear riffing with an audience.
Okay here’s my report from attending the show at the Rio 24 in Albuquerque, NM:
1. OVERALL?: Great! A+! Actually I think this might be one of their BEST live shows EVER! The shorts were weirder than before and even though the movie really is not THAT bad they got a lot of great comedy out of it. The crowd was a little smaller than before but that didn’t keep anybody’s spirits down.
2. HIGHLIGHT RIFFS?: Y’all already know about “Seize The Bone”, “Corcorman” and “Copperpoulous” (sp?) and “I’m Irish and now even I hate the Irish!” but I’ll add the following too:
“Your Daddy kissed me on the lips”
“That was avoidable”
“Just bury me next to Gumby”
“He died in the Shirts Section” (Land’s End joke)
“And Lady Gaga is born”
“His Job Satisfaction rate must be 300%”
“That’s cool and I’m a let you finish” (I think that’s the Kanye West bit)
“If you can’t be civil then please leave”
The “Twilight” series jokes
The Lonely Island referencing riffs “He’s Capt. Jack Sparrow” and “Let’s do a Youtube video of ‘I’m On A Boat'”
Mentioning the Rich Kayanka shorts later
And fwiw I actually liked the whole “Jesus Married A Frog” and “Doorknob The Superhero” bits too from the Kayanka shorts. The riffs from the “What Is Nothing?” short don’t come easily to mind just yet but it was very funny nonetheless.
…and I know I forgot plenty more so please feel free to mention them.
3. BIGGEST LAUGHS?: Believe it or not the crowd went wild for the Kanye West bit, the “He’s Capt. Jack Sparrow” bit and when Pendragon comes back to the King’s castle after kidnapping the King’s daughter to give him his demands and Mike goes something like “Whaaaaat? How did that happen? How did he just sneak in here?”
4. PRE-SHOW BITS?: It seems like all the text to read was new so that was great & funny. Most of the songs were familiar but that’s fine too. My favorite was the one that went something like “Sooner or later American actors will actually be hired to play American people instead of Hollywood just hiring British & Australian actors to play them all the time.” Was almost a little surprised the didn’t show the Gloria Estefan concert again.
5. WEIRD &/or ANNOYING BITS?: The picture went bad briefly during one of the Kayanka short and it did feel like the movie was louder than the riffing at one point but that changed quickly. ALso like already previously mentioned we got a longer-than-usual “reaction shot” of Bill for no apparent reason.
The people in the seats in front of me were OPENLY TEXTING! *AND* the people a few seats behind were OPENLY making jokes in between Mike, Kevin & Bill’s riffing! Yes I know – OMG! WTF?
People laughed a lot but NOBODY clapped. Seriously! (fwiw I did clap.)
“What is Nothing?” actually might’ve topped the “Grass” or “The Shopping Witch” shorts for weirdness.
6. QUESTIONS?: Do people just laugh but never clap at Rifftrax events or when they go to any movies these days? I was actually a little surprised they were clappin’ at the Nashville taping.
“Godfrey” was mentioned during the riffing? Who is he and why was he mentioned?
In the Nashville audience somebody yelled something to Mike at the end of the show. Did anybody catch what it was?
FWIW I’d like to thank everybody at Rifftrax for a GREAT show and for the free goodies as well;)
I wonder just what happened on Bill’s Delta flight to Nashville…
I was at the Nashville taping. Holy cow, those guys can sweat. It was boiling in that theater.
I was disappointed by the lack of The Master jokes as well. I thought Bill at least would’ve noticed that. Other than that, this was a thankfully watcheable movie that was improved by the riffing very much. Some guy a couple rows ahead of me brought his Tom Servo with him as well!
Good fun all ’round. When the leprechaun fell into the ocean, I instinctively said, “By this time, my lungs were aching for air” in an Irish accent.
@ “Was almost a little surprised the didn’t show the Gloria Estefan concert again.”
Don’t know about the tape delay showings on the west coast, but they did show the Estefan concert again with the super “test material” at the bottom of the screen for at least 15 minutes before the Rifftrax trivia jokes started for the live satellite feed of the show.
@ Chris: I really don’t see any point in clapping at a movie, unless it’s a premiere or Q&A event or somesuch where the filmmaker’s actually there with you. People clapped in my theater in Paramus, but I’m fairly certain Mike, Bill, and Kevin couldn’t hear it all the way down in Nashville. :silly:
Oh, and the word you’re thinking of was portcullis, and I too jump at any opportunity to work it into conversation. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portcullis)
I could also use some clarification on the reference to… um, Geoffrey, was it? That got a big laugh but I have no clue. :-((
Having flown Delta before, I know it couldn’t have been pleasant.
I’d have rather been subjected again to Gloria and the Miami Noise Machine than Fathom’s opera advertisement. Not that I have anything against opera in and of itself, but that ad was ear-splitting, at least in my theater. I’m truly not exaggerating when I say it gave Mrs Sharktopus a migraine. She barfed a little on the drive home. Or maybe it was just the NJ air… (I’ll admit, I did clap once – at the Pied Piper led all the rats to New Jersey trivia card.)
Here’s a nitpick on the movie. A real portcullis has holes in the ground for those spikes at the bottom to descend into. The idea was to make it really hard for anyone besieging a castle to get through it. The low-budget fake one in the movie just rested on the ground.
And if you got there early enough you were subjected to the Gloria Estefan concert before the Rifftrax trivia started and the opera adverts later on after the trivia had run.
San Diego, full crowed and almost a full house.
But the crowed was a little subdued. Not the energy of past shows here.
Enjoyed the movie and the shorts. Really enjoyed the pre-show screen cards. The best I have seen so far.
Now it you will excuse me, I have to go seize the bone.
However, every other aspect of life in feudal England was depicted surprisingly accurately, especially the relative difficulty of killing forced-perspective stop-motion giants.
This is the first RiffTrax live event where I wasn’t already familiar with the movie being riffed, besides some of the Christmas shorts – although I had seen a few of them before, oddly enough – and I sheepishly admit that I had been expecting a film retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk. Am I the only one who mad that assumption?
This is my third Rifftrax LIVE event at the Lloyd Center 10 Cinemas in Portland Oregon and they’ve all been nearly a full house, 90% full and everybody’s loving it. The short is one of those things that has an existence that is unexplainable. I’m glad it exists so the guys could riff it up. (The downloadable version of ‘What is Nothing’ has a few different riffs) The two shorts from the lil’ girl were fine, short and sweet, but yeah, maybe they did feel a little outta place. JACK THE GIANT KILLER itself was totally killer, just my kind of fruity wonky weird mamma-jamma of a movie. Their best LIVE show yet! “Seize the bone” and “Be right there..” were crowd favorites. There were some jokes that fell flat (in our crowd at least) and more than one flub up by the riffers; Bill apologized for his “as the Me crow flies” flub, but these are just minor quibbles with what was overall a very enjoyable night. More LIVE shows PLEASE!
*
now if you excuse me, I have to go watch #313 ‘Earth vs. the Spider’ for tomorrows Episode Guide entry.
Sharktopus, I had never seen this movie before and I too assumed that it had something to do with Jack and the Beanstalk. The shame of assumption. . . .
Easily the best Live Rifftrax I’ve seen, and I’ve seen all but plan 9. They got rolling about a third in and it just didn’t stop. Theater was pretty full in Emeryville with lots of hardcore fans. Funny how I could pretty much pick out every MST3K fan out of the crowd in the lobby… As I said to my daughter, “these are our people.”
And a little disconcerting having my teenage daughter merrily chorus “seize the bone” with the crowd after the movie…
Love the fact that our hero had to take two hacks at the skinny rope mooring the Viking dingy to the dock. Not enough in the budget to get another piece of rope for a reshoot.
The only difference between this movie and making the 7th Voyage of Sinbad was Ray Harryhausen. Nuff’ said.
The show in Redding, CA didn’t happen, about ten minutes after 8 the theater guy walks in and tells us that they didn’t “get” the show from Fathom. So disappointing :(
Just remembered a good one:
When Corcorman is reaching into the doorway of the flour mill, Bill riffs, “It’s like me looking in the refrigerator. ‘Where is the mustard?'” then Corcorman smashes the door and Bill yells, “WHERE IS THE MUSTARD?!”
HYSTERICAL!
Here in Palo Alto the attendance was very small, but everyone laughed their asses off.
(Although I was a little bummed when no one reacted to the “HR puffen-stuff” crack.)
Oh god, those Kyanka cartoons were classic, I really want to find them, but they don’t seem to pop-up online.
My friend and I hopped out “Imp-on the double rain-bow” style, and also set off a small out break of “dragon-soldier” shuffling.
I was really happy to be there, it tells me I’m not the only freak avidly watching ancient Mst Turkey day marathon recordings, or pausing and fussing to get a “House on Haunted Hill” Rifftrax going.
I hope to see more of these events, and of the MST3K community.
Keep circulating those tapes!
Loved this! The funniest one one for me so far! Yes, they did have some bad audio at the beginning. I could barely hear Kevin at times. Then again Gloria Estefan and Opera were shown to us at FULL VOLUME before the show started. Clifton NJ AMC was about 3/4 full with the bulk of the audience sitting in the middle and back rows. Oh, the “Planet of the Apes” riff used when the kid was turned into a Chimp was fitting as the theater previously showed “Rise of the Apes” before the RT show!
Oh, from now on when we wish the RT crew good luck before a show, don’t say “Break a leg”. Say “SEIZE THE BONE!!!”.
Loved it – still think “Plan 9” was the best but perhaps only because it was the first.
Theater at Pleasure Island was half-full which was a nice change from the last two shows at Pointe Orlando. Obviously a younger crowd than my wife and I (but no surprise there, as we’re Mike, Kevin and Bill’s age) and there were a few jokes (Conor?) that we just didn’t get (on that note: can someone explain what was so funny when they say the princess is in *another* castle? That got the biggest laugh of the evening in our venue and my wife and I just went “huh”? Video game reference?)
Like Sampo, I’ve felt the kid videos were out of place in these shows but unlike him this time I actually enjoyed them (and, yes, the callback made them worth it). I think they can safely stop using them now.
I *really* want this to come out on DVD or at least VOD — this is one I’d love to see again and again and again (it’s truly as good as anything MST3K has done).
I fear Lauren Kyanka may receive death threats from “the religious right” for depicting (well, okay, she didn’t do the actual DEPICTING, but) Jesus marrying a gender-vague frog. Poor kid.
#58: For some reason the context of the joke made me think it was a reference to a member of the British Royal Family. Not sure why.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, but I noticed a few IMHO missed opportunities. Among these:
1) There was room for a “Corn Is Grass” callback at least once.
2) The blonde kid in the short just screamed for a “Cousin Oliver” reference.
3) Am I the only one who thought that Garna, despite being possibly moviedom’s merriest flunky, looked like a Vulcan?
4) Cormoran! Cormoran! ROGER CORMORAN!
Also it seemed to me like the villain’s name, PENdragon, would’ve prompted a callback to “The Undead”‘s PendraGON. Shrug.
In case anyone didn’t “get it,” in Greek myth, Jason (of “and the Argonauts” fame) created warriors by “sowing” dragon’s teeth into the ground. That’s presumably why PENdragon’s tooth-creations were called “Dragon-Men.” No reason NOT to add a Greek myth tidbit to a mostly British myth story, I guess. Then again, for all I know there’s a similar story in British myth.
IMHO Sigund’s role in the film was sorta redundant. Jack and Peter could have acquired a ship and the leprechaun (whose name per the IMDB was Diablotin) more directly. Also mildly odd that at the end Elaine seemed so familiar with Sigund and Peter without ever having met them before. Oh well.
Anyone know, was there supposed to be a reason (other than it being a plot device) that Sigund hadn’t simply used the leprechaun’s three wishes and freed him from the bottle himself? Couldn’t quite hear the dialogue at that point.
Loved it!!! Laughed the whole time. It was the best live show yet. I can do without the little girl’s shorts. Sorry, but I just don’t care for them. And why is she still 5? She was 5 the last time they had a live show!!!
So when is the next one????
Saw this with my fiance last night. We both loved it, I was surprised by how good it turned out (the short was a great choice, SO weird). JACK THE GIANT KILLER is perfect MST3k fodder; very watchable yet very riffable. Hope they do another!
Oh, I notice people called the Castlevania riff coming. I didn’t, but I did say, “Sorry, your princess is in another castle,” right before Kevin did. It doesn’t happen much, but I love when it does.
IS DOING “NOTHING” REALLY DOING SOMETHING? YOUR HEART STILL BEATS , BLOOD STILL FLOWS , AIR CIRCULATES, TIME PASSES, SO CAN YOU ACTUALLY DO ” NOTHING” ? IT WOULD REALLY BE SOMETHING TO TOTALLY DO NOTHING . I GAVE A ” IS CORN GRASS ? ” SHOUTOUT AT MY THEATER IN N.W. INDIANA, I ALSO CLAPPED AT SOME OF THE RIFFS. WE HAD A ” JUST SHY OF BEING FULL ” THEATER HERE TOO ! GREAT CROWD , GREAT MOVIE , GREAT TIME! WILL THEY FIX THE TECHNICAL PROBLEM IF THIS COMES OUT ON D.V.D. ( THE CUTTING IN AND OUT? SOUND? BILL’S FACETIME?) OR WILL WE GET THIS ” AS IS?” I WILL “BE RIGHT THERE” FOR THE NEXT LIVE SHOW! SEE YOU ALL THERE!
For anyone who was at the Burlington Regal Cinema 20 last night, was there Gloria Estafan concert footage again? By the time I got there, the movie trivia slides were playing.
That short was scarier that “Grasses”. I knew we were in for a ride when they mentioned the name of the short. I downloaded it this morning and plan on watching it again later today.
I really love Rifftrax. I hope there’s another show. I’d snap up my ticket in a second!
I think the “princess is in another castle” line was from Super Mario (80s video game).
@36 line cutting club members? what do you mean? I was at that show as well and belong to the “club”
The original (so to speak) Jack the Giant Killer legend was set during King Arthur’s time, making it an odd choice by the filmmakers to name the *villain* “Pendragon” (since in some sources King Arthur is known as “Arthur Pendragon”; some readers may not have known that). Perhaps they thought it would “confuse” the audience for the good king to have “dragon” in his name. Perhaps that’s why “The Undead” had the name pronounced “PendraGON”…although that story had no King Arthur connection, so WTH, right?
I too was surprised that none of them remarked, ” Roger Corcorman?”
And has Delta replaced Northwest as their punching bag airline?
Must have been something wrong in our theater because we didn’t hear much at all. I changed seats twice and *did* find a better spot but I missed most of the riffing. I’m glad it was a good movie.
Oh, and in case anyone cares, Erik the Red (mentioned by Sigurd) was active during the tenth century, whereas King Arthur (and thus Jack) is generally considered as having been active during the SIXTH century, so, you know, whatever. :-)
#72 Lauren will receive more death threats from SA goons than she’ll ever receive from whatever people you’re too chicken to mention specifically.
#85: I COULDN’T be specific on that if I wanted to because I don’t know of any SPECIFIC “religious right” types who are unhinged enough to threaten a five-year-old over a silly kid’s-stream-of-consciousness story. I don’t doubt that they’re out there, though. :-/
Callback, sort of: director Nathan Juran (born in Austria, real first name “Naftuli”; who knew?) also directed “The Deadly Mantis.”
Kind of annoying that they sang over the credits rather than riffing them, but so it goes.
The show was awesome. I was at the Belcourt so I was seeing them in the flesh. My wife ran into Bridget Jones Nelson in the bathroom and got her picture with her. My wife said Bridget was very cool and friendly, even though she was approached in the bathroom, which i’m sure was weird for her. My wife wishes it could have happened differently but the moment was there so she seized the bone.
This was my third live show, and I thought it was the best. I might have been biased because this was the first time I was able to come with a friend, but I do think they keep getting better. It was her first live show, but she was already familiar with Rifftrax and MST3k, and she loved it—although I was truly afraid she was going to choke and die on the popcorn a couple times.
I moved cities since the last Rifftrax I saw (HoHH), but both this time and the last time had a pretty decent turnout. I also noticed that the Columbus, OH, audience are not clapping people, and they didn’t seem to react to the pre-movie “trivia” as much.
Count me among those who really could do without the Lowtax shorts. I DO try to keep perspective—they take up, what, two or three minutes of the entire show?—but they are out of place and rather forgettable, IMHO. I don’t usually think something is cute or funny just because children are involved, but I’m glad her dad thinks she’s adorable. I don’t mind watching the shorts once, but I hate to think of having to constantly skip over them when I watch the DVD.
Saw it with an almost sold-out crowd in Tysons Corner, VA. Due to technical difficulties, we missed almost everything prior to the main feature, including all the pre-credits movie trivia and such. I thought they didn’t do them this time until I saw the comments here. Bummer! But we got to see the main movie and I’m looking forward to downloading the short, so it’s all good. Agree that this was one of their best. A++!
Carpe Os.
Great show! Many more people in Columbia MD than last time; almost a full theater. They probably should have done an encore for this one, I’d go back tonight if I could :)
Chris Lark said: “Godfrey” was mentioned during the riffing? Who is he and why was he mentioned?”.
I didn’t hear a “Godfrey”, but I did hear a riff about prince Joffrey. It’s a Game of Thrones reference.
Mike “ex-genius” Kelley says: can someone explain what was so funny when they say the princess is in *another* castle? That got the biggest laugh of the evening in our venue and my wife and I just went “huh”? Video game reference?
Mike, in the original “Super Mario Bros.” Nintendo NES game from 1985 (and most “Mario” platform games since) the plot’s the same: the princess (Peach) has been kidnapped by the bad guy (Bowser) and only Mario can save her by clearing a level of enemies/bad guys and reaching the end. At the end of every ‘world’ Mario would defeat that world/level’s boss and come to the end expecting to have the princess there, only for a stooge to say ‘Sorry Mario, but your princess is in another castle’ (i.e. the next level/world). This kept going until the very end of the game when the princess would finally be there. So, in the movie, when Pendragon is feeding Jack bull about the princess not being there it was an air ball for Kevin to simply repeat a line that anyone that has been playing videogames since 1985 knows by heart. Same with the “Castlevania” joke after the Dragon Men are vanished with the whip; that’s exactly how enemies are defeated in the game, and I’d bet good money some kid in Japan who saw this movie growing up remembered when it came time for him/her to make a contribution to his Konami employers.
The Union Square Theater in NYC (theater 4, the biggest one in the complex) was 85-90% sold out and everything (the short, the toons, feature) went like gangbusters. We also had the blacked-out seconds at the start and creepy shot of Corbett not doing/saying anything, so that was a technical failure at the Nashville point of origin. This was my third Rifftrax Live! show and, unlike the previous one’s that had only two or three BIG laughs (like ‘Laaaaaaaadies!’ from “House on Haunted Hill”?), “Jack the Giant Killer” packed at least 10-12 BIG laughs that had the entire theater in body-bending hysterics. The riffs started slow and OK (Mike’s ‘that’s exactly how I look at bacon’ followed by his on-camera stare killed me!) but kept building and building. Then we hit a lull with the ship/princess kidnapping; except for the first riff when we see the boat this is a 10-15 min. sequence with not only terrible jokes (really, naming a ghost ‘Phil’ was the best they could do?) but with Jack at his wimpiest/most useless.
But then Pendragon visits the king and the riffing/jokes kick-starts again and pretty much doesn’t stop until the very end. It seems that every 10 or so minutes, when the riffs/energy should be dying, the movie threw another goofy scene (Pendragon’s creation of his staff, the leprechaun, ‘Be right there’ dragon men, chimp in a speedo, tentacled monster, double-slash rope holding the boat, etc.) that, along with the Rifftrax crew’s dead-on jokes, re-energized the crowd into laughing even louder than before. This was easily their best live show to date moviewise, but the short was just too weird/esoteric to set itself for riffs. I remember every scene/shot from the short but the jokes are almost gone from my memory bank (I only remember hey, it’s Mitch from ‘Dazed and Confused’). Someone else said it earlier: if the ‘grass’ short (which they referenced in the pre-movie title cards: ‘Did You Know… Corn is a form of grass’) from earlier had been included here this would have been an unbeatable Rifftrax Live! event. But I’ll take a very riffable decent-for-its-time-but-goofy movie that they nail over nit-picking perfectly-functional, mind-warping shorts any day.
And I’ve got tickets to ‘Cinematic Titanic’ next month for their return NYC engagement… joy!
Not breaking any new ground in the discussion, but just wanted to say: Loved it! LOVED IT!!! Definitely my favorite LIVE Rifftrax event so far. I buy all of the DVDs as soon as they come out–and though the LIVE experience is much better–I was so happy to see them do a completely brand new movie to riff for the LIVE show. Great stuff! Hope they do another one before the end of the year and riff something never-before-riffed again. Also really excited to see the preview of the upcoming Abraxas! Early 90’s crap! Woohoo!!!
Yeah, the extended close-up of Bill looking drained and perspiration drenched was, um, very uncomfortable. I’m hoping they find a way to delete it in the DVD version.
Short was bizarre but funny.
“Jack” started out quite slow, riffing-wise, but by the time the creepy jester puppet turned up they seemed to warm to the material.
I left the theater with “Seize the bone!” playing over and over in my head.
Pretty fun show. But man, most of the stop motion FX were so AWFUL, they hardly needed riffing!
I saw it in Olathe KS, and there was a HUGE turnout. Normally there’s around 20-30 people, but this time there was at least 200 (possibly even more, but I’m sure whatever the number, that it minus itself equalled nothing)! The theater was nearly sold out. Someone most have left the portcullis open!
“I fear Lauren Kyanka may receive death threats from “the religious right” for depicting (well, okay, she didn’t do the actual DEPICTING, but) Jesus marrying a gender-vague frog. Poor kid.”
“85: I COULDN’T be specific on that if I wanted to because I don’t know of any SPECIFIC “religious right” types who are unhinged enough to threaten a five-year-old over a silly kid’s-stream-of-consciousness story. I don’t doubt that they’re out there, though”
Have you really had such negative experiences with Christian RiffTrax fans? Honest question, as being one (and being best friends with several others), I think we’re a tad better than you’re assuming. :-)
>>>naming a ghost ‘Phil’
Phil Spector/Spectre?
My first live Rifftrax and I loved it! Great movie to Riff on, much like Magic Sword, the Finnish Troika, etc. Bonus points for having the little girl who made the cartoons in the theater here in Kansas City. (Her dad, the Something Awful guy, lives in the area.) Big rounds of applause for her. Too bad they left early and she didn’t get to hear Mike’s impression of her narrative skillz. And that short! Hot damn. Forwarding the link to everyone I know. Now if we could only get Cinematic Titanic to come through town…
I’m just glad it’s been confirmed corn IS grass!
