Coming Soon - Tron with Jonathan Coulton, Paul & Storm

[Conor]

We're happy to announce our latest close-to-a-year-in-the-making RiffTrax Presents: Tron, with riffers Jonathan Coulton, Paul & Storm!

http://www.rifftrax.com/rifftrax-presents/tron

Releasing on Tuesday, 5/26




Have you ever wondered what the inside of a computer looks like? So did Disney, and it's pretty clear they didn't do any research when they made Tron. RiffTrax invites you to join internet superstar Jonathan Coulton and less-famous-but-still-kind-of-funny comedy/music duo Paul and Storm on their adventure through a luminous blue world of phallic helmets, light-up Frisbees and tight white unitards. A pre-Dude Jeff Bridges stars as a hotshot video game programmer who gets laser beamed into the world's dullest rave by David Warner's evil supercomputer. Cindy Morgan, fresh from the Denise Richards school of unlikely scientists, maybe has a thing for Bruce Boxleitner, who I think is really good at playing this one motorcycle game or something? We can't say for sure, there were a lot of flashing lights and Casio synth music and we kind of fell asleep for a little while.

One thing is certain: beneath the silly costumes and bad CGI there's a powerful message about humanity, communication and freedom, not to mention a studio executive whose creative judgment was impaired by a bad case of Pac-Man fever. Insert coin to continue.

Awesome, I don't know Paul and Storm, but I do know Jonathan's work and that's enough for me to be excited! Looking forward to it!

[RVR II]

Well, well, well.. Lookie there!

I had No Idea..

[Thrifty]

That is a weird choice.  Looks like I'll have to acquire this and the iRiff as well.

Homer:   Uh... it's like... did anyone see the movie 'Tron'?
Hibbert: No.
Lisa:    No.
Marge:   No.
Wiggum:  No.
Bart:    No.
Patty:   No.
Wiggum:  No.
Ned:     No.
Selma:   No.
Frink:   No.
Lovejoy: No.
Wiggum:  Yes.  I mean... um, I mean, no.  No, heh.

[Thrifty]

Or this.

[Thrifty]

So the boys are taking a vacation, eh?  Kevin looks like he could use one.

[Axnollouse]

I am stopping the ability to get a Post-tacular here. But other than that I think this is going to be a kickass trax and with the RiffRaff one as well this will rule as a re-author!

Can't wait!

...

Storm?

I stand by my earlier assessment that this is one of the greatest things to happen in the history of ever.

[spaceforarent]

so, where do I click to have this automatically purchased the day of release, have a copy of Tron delivered to my door, automatically sync them up, and strap me into a chair until it is over?


I was serious about wondering where to click to get the dvd delivered to my door. Any word on which version it will/ will not work with? Amazon seems to have a few different versions...

[Insert Coin(s) to Continue]

It should be obvious, but I'll go ahead and say it anyways -- I like the product description

[Jason Martian]

What... no comments on my Tron horse?  I was especially proud of that.  

I myself am looking forward to hearing this one.  

[Edward J Grug III]

Oh, by the way - I really love that Tron horse.

[Darth Geek]

Cool. I loved the Riff Raff Theater one and I already have this DVD.

Nice, video. I love Kevin's frustration. It's just so much fun to see these guys act. Even if it is something so short like this.
