RiffTrax LIVE: Plan 9 from Outer Space
In case you didn’t hear the news from Comic-Con, I’m going to be hosting the RiffTrax LIVE event on August 20th! Now, this is way bigger than just the typical internet streaming event: it’s going to be broadcast to over 400 movie theaters across the country! The guys will be riffing on the classic Ed Wood film Plan 9 from Outer Space (thought by many people to be one of the worst films ever made). In addition, the wonderful Jonathan Coulton will be performing, along with a special segment by Rich “Lowtax” Kyanka of Something Awful.
We’re going to be recording the show in Nashville, TN, but unfortunately that theater has already sold out. So make sure you get tickets while you can from the website!
In other news, the RiffTrax panel at Comic-Con was a blast. Not only did the guys do a live riff of a video short called “Shake Hands with Danger,” but we also had the crowd plead their case for the next full-length RiffTrax feature! The selection was for one of my favorite bad movies, Dragon Wars.
By the way, here are all my pictures from Comic-Con. I got to meet so many awesome people (like Phil Plait from Bad Astronomy), that was probably the most fun I’ve ever had a convention. Although, Tom and I are heading to Dragon*Con in September, so that might come close… more on that one coming soon.

I tweeted this out last week, but I wanted to give some extra love to the RiffTrax guys for inviting me to guest star on their latest video short, American Thrift Part 1! My ultimate goal is to sell more copies than Tron, which featured Jonathan Coulton and Paul and Storm. At only $.99, American

As you may have learned from previous updates, I’m a huge fan of the guys over at RiffTrax (see also MST3K). The big news this week from them is that Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett will be doing a live RiffTrax online this Thursday! The short film they’ll be riffing on is called

Looking for a reason to drag out your old copy of The Matrix or Raiders of the Lost Ark? OK, bad examples, you don’t really need a reason for those. How about Batman and Robin or Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith? These movies can actually be tolerable with the help of Rifftrax,

I just found out you and Tom are going to be at DragonCon. Unfortunately I will be missing that con this year despite being a regular in previous years.
If you guys are there again next year I will definitely make an attempt to go next year.
If you can, check out the guys of Need Coffee and The Unique Geek at DragonCon
Have fun!

Oh wow, how did I not realise until now that was you hosting? Granted, we got in a little late and missed the intros, but still. After all the time I spent listening to BOL on the way to and from work you’d think I’d have recognised your voice.
Anyway, great job. It’s a wonder that the stage didn’t spontaneously implode with that much Awesome in once place at one time. Thanks for being part of something that cool – I can’t remember the last time our family had that much fun going to the movies.
