RT Live!: Sharknado - Discussion

[dj_clawson]

I was a little surprised that the cut we saw tonight was clearly a different cut than the one floating around the internet. A bit longer, a lot more gore.

I couldn't figure out if the sound problems were just with the movie (which has bad sound mixing) or with what was going on in the studio of the live show. Things seemed to get better about 20 minutes into the movie, but that was a very soft movie.

In my theater you could barely hear the riffing. Something must've went seriously wrong in the sound mix somewhere. But we did get free tickets to the next live show so it wasn't so bad.


I hate sharks too.

We could hear the riffing but had trouble with the movie. Clearly at some point the movie theater turned up the audio, because when it started out we could barely hear anything.

Yeah, we had similar issues.

There were also a few times when people were laughing so hard at the movie itself that you couldn't hear the riffs.

[Pak-Man]

Man, I laughed so hard I very nearly passed out. One of my favorite live shows. And maybe more!

[TriffRax]

Excellent show. As aggressively idiotic as Sharknado was, however, it still wasn't as hopelessly stupid as Birdemic.

[ScottotD]

I had trouble hearing it too, tried to point my ear toward America but still nothing... 

[Compound]

Okay, I gotta gripe.


On the pre-show slides, on the "Here are the musical performers" slide, down at the bottom was the line"please support these artist."


Plural, guys. Use the plural.

[ShadowDog]

No sounds issues in my theater except the obvious Godzilla one.

Awesome  riff! Lot of funny lines, all well delivered. I even loved the visual gag of their confusion when the foreign dude was talking at the beginning.

They were definitely sluggish to start and Mike seemed especially out of it. Like, to the point I wondered what was wrong. He's one of my favorite people ever so I won't speculate but I was worried. Then things picked up and the rest of the show went pretty much flawless and I forgot about it.

At any rate awesome event! Well worth the money.

Mike seemed fine to me, but where was his ring? That was kind of freaky. (If that's too personal a remark, I apologize. It was just weird. We're so used to that ring, it was almost like seeing him walk out without his pants.)

Speaking of male jewelry, pretty funny to hear an earring joke coming from Kevin!

It was really odd when after the first Godzilla clip they were all standing there shuffling their papers and I was thinking, "Uh... guys? You're on..."  Then they started riffing the second Godzilla clip.  Seems like the guys in the production booth really didn't have much of a clue as to what was going on. 

Mike seemed a touch out of it a first, maybe, not too terribly. Maybe he had a few drinks of J&B Scotch before coming out on stage.

I also really liked the new riff of Spring Fever. It was always my favorite MST3K short along with Gumby's Robot Rumpus. But this was a lateral move. I did miss a few of the old riffs. Like "Welcome to Divot Hills" and especially "Guns, huh?"

[CHF01]

It's a shame this won't be released as a VOD, as this was one great and hilarious live event. Our theater was about 2/3 filled.
The sound was an issue at times, especially during louder "action" scenes. There wasn't enough audio ducking, causing the guys' commentary to get lost in the noise. There were also times the movie was so loud that the guys could barely be heard.

Hopefully we'll see a MP3 of this one with the same lines and energy as we saw last night.

does anyone have a list of the artists we are supposed to support (music from the pre-show)?
