Well, OK, let's have some official information about out new RiffTrax Live show!!!!!

Q:  When?

A:  Wednesday, 12/16 and an encore (rebroadcast) on Thursday 12/17 at  8:00pmET / 7:00pmCT / 6:00pmMT and 8:00pmPT (tape delay)

Q:  Where?

A:  Close to 500 movie theaters across the country.  Find out your nearest theater and buy tickets by entering your zip code here:  http://www.ncm.com/Fathom/Comedy/RiffTrax_Xmas_Live.aspx

Q:  Where is it being broadcast from?

A:  The California Center for the Arts in Escondido:  http://www.artcenter.org/   Escondido is a few miles up the highway from RiffTrax HQ in San Diego, and is among other things, the home of the Stone Brewery where we show movies during the summer.  It's a great theater

Q:  When do tickets go on sale for that show?

A:  Sometime next week.  Follow us on twitter for the up to date announcements about it:  http://twitter.com/rifftrax

Q:  We don't want to use twitter because ________

A:  It's the best way to get this info.  We'll try to post here, but no guarantees.

Q:  Weird Al!?!?!

A:  We know!  It's going to be awesome.  He's guest riffing with us for the first time since Jurassic Park!!!

Q:  What's the program consist of ?

A:  Shorts!  Lots of them.  And the vast majority of them are brand new!  Most of them are completely bizarre things you've never seen before.

Q:  Why is The Onion's logo on the email?

A:  Because they are sponsoring our show.  Awesome, right?

Q:  Why isn't the show at my theater?

A:  This is not our decision nor is it something we have control over.  Please contact your local theater and ask them if they're capable of showing Fathom Events.  A few people were able to get theaters to add our last show just by reaching out to their theater managers.

Q:  Why is this not available outside the US?

A:  Again, not our decision, that's just how the Fathom system of this works.

Q:  Why isn't this LIVE on the west coast?

A:   Because that would be at five PM and not many people would be able to make it.

Q:  Do we need to buy tickets in advance?

A:  Why not?  Plenty of theaters sold out last time, why risk it?

Any other questions?  Let us know!

Will there be a DVD, or any way to watch the shorts after the show?

[Conor]

No idea.

why do you hate canada, rifftrax? >:

[Conor]

But seriously.  Again, it cannot be emphasized enough that we do not pick the theaters and have no power to do so.  There is no reason we wouldn't want it playing in as many theaters as possible.  Write letters and make phone calls, it's your best bet to let people know the audience exists.

Any Chance of buying a copy of this for those that won't be in the country during said Live event, or At Least an encore sometime in the middle of January (after January 11)??
OHPLEASE-OHPLEASE-OHPLEASE!!!

This question was answered directly above.  I do not think that an encore of a Christmas themed program airing after Christmas will happen.

Understood.. But what about a possible DVD of this event in the future?

Maybe I missed this but I reviewed the Q&A's a few times and didn't see it asked nor answered..

EDIT: Never mind.. David asked this..


So I guess I'm S O L on this one

I agree that it is awesome, however it would be even more awesome if they made some short segments, like the commercials for the last live event.

The sky today was a little bluer, the air, a little cleaner. The birds sung just a little louder. My smile- Just a little bigger. New live show + Weird Al. Thank you, Rifftrax!

The only consolation of living in Canada is that when I slit my wrists because they aren't showing this in Canada, I won't have huge medical bills for the repairs ... scant consolation. As a protest, I might just join that war against Christmas that totally exists.
