Birdemic
Feature film ยท 2015

A software salesman cashes in his stock options to fight global warming, and occasionally birds attack.

With Bill Corbett, Kevin Murphy, Mike Nelson




NOW AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD AND STREAM! Birdemic riffed by the stars of MST3K!  You asked for it, here it is!

Also check out our Birdemic Live Show riff here!

Birdemic: Shock and Terror is the story of a software salesman who founds his own solar energy company after cashing in his stock options. Where it differs from the countless other Hollywood tales of software salesmen who found their own solar energy companies after cashing in stock options is that occasionally birds attack and kill people.

Strong emphasis on occasionally, mind you. For while a less assured director might insist "I paid 12 dollars for these bird animations, and they're gonna be on-screen for every frame dammit!", Birdemic director James Nguyen instead chooses to focus on his characters. They eat meals, go to pumpkin festivals, hang out with their families, have themselves a party and every now and then make millions, buy Ferraris and date Victoria's Secret cover models. You know, typical stuff.

The comic atmosphere is undercut, however, by the serious message Nguyen wants to impart onto the audience: the dangers of global warming. Trust us when we say that the only way that this sensitive issue could be handled more deftly is by anyone, anywhere, using any means.

Birdemic: Shock and Terror is what you'd get if the Ice Cream Bunny starred in The Happening as directed by Tommy Wiseau. Mike, Kevin and Bill invite you to join them for this must-see RiffTrax.



BIRDEMIC is the spiritual sequel to Julie and Jack, now available!

If you already have the mp3 you only pay the difference in price.

What if you already bought the MP3, donated to the Kickstarter AND bought the Live release?  ;)

Which version of the riff is this? The Live riff, the original MP3 riff, a mixture of both?

It is the MP3 riff.

Downloaded and watched it.  Seemed to be a mix of the MP3 and Live! versions with some new jokes here and there.

Things seemed.... "off" though. Like the energy between the guys or something, it almost felt-like they did their lines at separate times/places and everything was pieced together in post. There didn't seem to be a lot of interaction, almost stepping on lines and even some pauses between "interactions."  May have just been the way it came across to me in my sleep-deprived, stressed-out, mind but the energy and feeling of this riff just felt different than most others.

Still funny, though and a good combination of the previous versions and a few new jokes or different takes on jokes.

So where's the VOD version? All I can see are the "Just the Jokes" one.
