I Googled "Mike Nelson."  I was wondering if he had another book coming out or something.  There was a link to Rifftrax.com.  I clicked out of curiosity.

45 minutes later, I was watching the "300" riff.

And all this time I thought it came up in a political search :P

Maybe Satelite News, but I was trying to keep track of Mike Nelson commentaries, especially when THE FILM CRED DVDs were being voted on. I was disappointed when they decided to stop Film Crew, but at least Rifftrax releases DVDs too.

Hey there! Brand new on the boards! I've been a MST3K fan since the 90's, and I actually discovered Rifftrax when a mutual fan friend mentioned a few years back that this existed. Obviously I had to check it out, so I pulled a few reviews from Youtube and was hooked right away.

We actually started making sure we went to your Christmas live broadcasts every year as part of our holiday traditions (I think our first one was the re-do of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians) but we try to catch as many live shows as we can a year.

BTW I'm a YA librarian, and I was assigned to read Twilight for my job. After suffering through the first 1/3 of the first book, I just downloaded the tracks for each of the films and watched them so I'd have an idea of what they were about (That's right, I cliff-noted my way through a reading assignment!). You honestly saved my sanity.

You chose the best possible way to get through Twilight, well done and welcome.

Well I was sitting in my house, minding my own business, when some guys roll up to my front door, break in and blindfolded me. Next thing I know, I'm in this forum.
Are you telling me that GTA means something else besides Golden Turkey Awards???

I'm sure you said the same thing on the RedTube forum.  ::)

Nah. I used you as a reference, though.  :o

I actually stumbled across it while watching MST 3K: shorts 1 on Amazon. Saw the cast of MST doing a live review of Sharknado? Who could resist that! :) At the end of the Rifftrax Live (and in the ending credits), the website is mentioned.  So here I am.

Ah, well on the 10th anniversary I figured I should log in and post again :)

I had been following the guys since MST3K folded, over to Timmy Big Hands and when that folded I was haunting Mike's website, buying his and Kevin's books, etc.  Anyway, the Film Crew stuff happened and I THINK the Rifftrax announcement came from Legend Films on day.

I was so very happy and even happier that they're still going strong.

According to the shop, Roadhouse was released July 21st, so we're ALMOST at 10 years.

Other fun facts: If memory serves, the riff was heavily discounted to a dollar to allow fans to beta-test. The forums opened up almost a month later, with the admin members signing up on 8/10 and civilian members starting to pile in on the 18th.

I'm expecting some to-do. Maybe even some ballyhoo or a full-on kerfluffle- sometime tomorrow.

Greetings from Australia! I was lucky enough to stumble across MST3K on youtube completely by chance.  I recognized Crow from avatars on other forums and gave it a shot and was immediately hooked.  It was a natural process to find rifftrax from there.

P.S. I wear a Rowsdower tshirt I got off redbubble.  I'm still waiting for a random in public to point it out.

I saw a poster ad for RiffTrax Live via Fathom Events in a Regal theater.  It was for Sharknado 3.  Haven't missed since.

I recall that, a long while ago, my older brother mentioned this cool thing he called "Mystery Science Theater" (I believe he left off the '3000').  I had never seen it, myself.
Now comes along April 2017 and "MST3K - The Return" on Netflix.  Binged those 14 eps pronto.  I have now seen 19/20 of "Collection 1" of the original MST3K series, again on Netflix.

I'm hooked by the eyeballs now.

I would not be shocked if Netflix has not now opened up the universe of riffing considerably.
