RiffTrax Live Is Coming To Canada!
If you’re a Canadian MSTie (a fan of the most awesome now-defunct show in life, Mystery Science Theater 3000), you’ve been waiting years for this moment!
On August 15th, RiffTrax, MST3K’s modern successor, is giving its one-of-a-kind treatment to one of the most iconic, breathtaking, award-worthy films of our time.
*drumroll please*
Starship Troopers.
The deal is, that the plan was initially fund a Kickstarter for a live screening of Twilight, but due to rights management and blah blah blah, it couldn’t happen. Yet. However, People have found that this works out even better:
We’re excited about this for a number of reasons: It’s big. It’s goofy. It’s got giant bug aliens. Folks have been asking us to do this movie ever since we riffed excerpts of it on the 1998 MST3K Blockbuster Special. And IT’S FREAKING STARSHIP TROOPERS! It’s basically a cheesy 50s sci-fi flick, the kind we know and “love”, but made in 1997 with a massive Hollywood budget! NEIL PATRICK HARRIS as a psychic who talks to giant bugs! DENISE RICHARDS as a brilliant starship pilot, before she was a brilliant nuclear scientist in that Bond movie! MICHAEL IRONSIDE, because it’s a war movie, so of course Michael Ironside! JAKE BUSEY, hanging out and making it weird! This movie’s got it all!
Even, better, for the first time, Canadian cities will be included in the live in-theater broadcast!
YAY!!!
GET YOUR FREAKING TICKETS RIGHT NOW. This WILL sell out. RiffTrax Live is something you don’t want to miss. Ever.
I’m so stoked for this I can’t even.
