Rifftrax Live Show




Lookie here. Another live show so soon after the Halloween one.

Back in 2009 the guys at Rifftrax had a few online riffings on their ustream channel. They were testing out their servers by riffing some new shorts live. They finally decided to do a live show for Planet of the Dinosaurs (with the short thrown in for anybody who didn't pay for the movie) but it failed. The short kept crashing and apparently the fans melted the servers for the feature. Some tech nerd couldn't even properly apologize on Rifftrax's behalf. Thus they decided to try a live show in theaters.

While they did do a couple live shows this year, one day (can't remember when) they did an unannounced live show online. It was basically the Rifftrax crew playing table shuffleboard while Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett made humorous observations. It was kind of neat to come home and find out about this and we now know why they had such a show. There is going to be a live online show this December.

On December 3rd they will debute a new short online. It is a buck to watch it. Before the show, they will announce whatever Christmas film they will do on the 16th. No details about that one yet.

Maybe I'll see you at the Rifftrax chat room next Friday!
