I love to see them a new DVD. Only if they stop doing the Live stuff.  I dont hate the live stuff.  But i get sick of missing out on jokes. Because the dumb audience laughing over them. Not to mention i miss the silhouette gag's.  At least you have a choice with the Rifftrax DVD's.

Live or studio...... I just want another DVD.

Rifftrax should start releasing riffs of the Cinematic Titanic titles that they are refusing to release on DVD. :P
FINE

Bob

Their DVDs are on sale for $9.99 this weekend.

Still no news of any new DVDs.   Sigh........


RVR II

Yeah that sux.. Sales on existing stock means nothing to me!
I want something new!! :angry:

Edward J Grug III

Maybe they are clearing stock to make room for new DVDs?
FINE

Much better than the - 'maybe they are doing it because nobody is buying their DVDs, hence they are never gonna make any new ones' theory anyway... :P
FINE

Still no update on this? Seems a damned shame, because I'll never be able to watch their shows live in the UK.

I still throw a random comment on their FB pages every now and then when they post a upcoming live show posting with no response >:(

They seem to be touring regularly, which I would assume means they make money from their shows.  Surely just filming a couple and putting them out couldn't be THAT much more expensive, could it?

I wouldn't think so..
I don't know how much more successful the touring is compared to putting out 1 (or more) DVDs.. :-\

It might be the other aspects that are prohibitive or at least unpleasant, such as storing the products and the handling/processing of the products. Maybe  the profit just isn't enough for them to be bothered? OR it could be that they are working on some kind of distribution deal though a smaller company like SHOUT or something? Maybe building up some product? I can dream, can't I?
FINE

I really don't like their live format for home viewing but really how much could it possibly cost to place a single camera in the back of the theater and record?
