Movie Review: RiffTrax Reefer Madness August 24, 2010

Posted by flotz on Wednesday, August 25, 2010 | Live Review

Went to RiffTrax: Reefer Madness at Thorton Place movies last night.  A one time screening of a live performance of the MST3K guys riffing on Reefer Madness plus some other shorts. Super funny.  Sometimes, during the screening, you could see the three dudes as they riffed while the movie played (as opposed to MST3K, where you only saw the back of their heads.)  Walked into the theater and it wasn't the typical movie trivia being shown but rather a series of slides that were a parody of movie trivia slides as warped music played in the background.  That made my night as they reclaimed the whole cinema experience. Theater not very full but those there were ready to laugh, which also made the evening fun. They started with some off-the-hook shorts to get things rolling, then into a colorized version of Reefer Madness. Got off a ton of good lines.

Didn't know about the whole Rifftrax thing: you can download all kinds of riffs. And also learned about Fathom events, where they do one time screenings in conventional movie theaters.  So on the whole an evening that twisted the typical movie going experience. Next live Rifftrax one will be October 28th 2010 for House on Haunted Hill. Should be fun.
