I dunno if you guys have a Fathom Events movie theater in your area, but RiffTrax, the guys who used to work on Mystery Science Theater 3000, are going to be doing a live riffing of Syfy's dorky masterpiece Sharknado next Thursday and then the following Tuesday.
If you've never been to a live riffing, they are abso-fucking-lutely spectacular.
OK details Ohhhh Purple mistress of knowledge and guidance... I happened to see something advertising Sharknado at local theater. Figured somehow GASppppp a sequal .... had been committed.
Was hoping they did not have the desperation to bring that to the big screen ....
Is it going to be like a mystery science showing..... You have the commentary going, while movie plays??
More info please .... Because the shrapnel driven by hundred mile per hour winds, inside the tornado must not harm them.
Pithy commentary MAY be what is needed to do them in .... LOL
Yeah, 'tis a live commentary track.
They watch the movie live in a movie theater, usually in Tennessee or Minnesota. It's Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett. Mike was always a writer on the old MST3K but took over as the main human protagonist once Joel Hodgson left the series. Kevin has always been the voice of robot Tom Servo, as well as bunch of other voices, and Bill Corbett took over as Crow T. Robot's voice after Trace Beaulieu left.
They run commentary on the movie while it plays, and the view shifts between the movie itself and the commentators on the stage in the theater where they're doing the show, because sometimes they do costume bits and stuff during slow bits. They almost always have a short or two, and a few comedic bits in the intro.
I've been to the Riffings of
Starship Troopers,
Plan Nine from Outer Space,
Jack the Giant-Killer (1962),
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians ... and they've ALL been amazing. This year they're also doing
Godzilla (1998) and
Anaconda.
