MSNBC.com interviews Frank, Trace and Josh, briefly, as their fall tour approaches.
It’s great…except for PAUL. Download it and see a sample here. By the way, RiffTrax has posted a page that lists all the movies on NetFlix Instant that you can watch with a RiffTrax mp3. Also, for those who didn’t go to the live show and didn’t see it on the “digital goodies” page, the preview for the upcoming Abraxas riff, it’s been posted on Youtube. An open thread for reports from tonight’s RiffTrax show at the Castro in San Francisky.
Update: Here’s an extensive photo album from the show. First of all, please keep your discussion thread ideas coming! Send them to msampo at a-o-l dot com.
This week’s topic came to me this week, as I contemplated the upcoming start of the new season of Cinematic Titanic live shows, and along with the announcement of the latest RiffTrax VOD title, “Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe,” hard on the heels of the live show and the recent VOD release of “Galaxy Invader.” What do those two things have in common? Well, to me it feels like the MST3K is truly back. Yes, it’s a hoot when RiffTrax does an audio track for a major Hollywood stinker, but the unreconstructed MSTie in me gets a special thrill when either group takes on a terrible, low-budget oldie, like “Maniac” or “The Alien Factor.” And what that means to me is: for the first time in a long time, it’s possible that some of those bad, low-budget movies that MST3K never got around to may FINALLY, some day soon, get the treatment they deserve. Yay! So, with that wordy preamble, the question for the weekend is: If you had a chance to pitch one terrible movie to Cinematic Titanic and/or RiffTrax, what would you suggest? For Cinematic Titanic, my gift is 1993’s “Catman: In the Boxer’s Blow.” For RiffTrax, it’s 1976’s haunting “A*P*E.” What would YOU pitch? |
