Trailer for Rifftrax of Jack the Giant Killer via Rifftrax Live!
I'm having a hard time putting into words how much I enjoyed it. I have to admit. In fact, let's have a mini nerd confessional here. Ok, here goes. Forgive me Shatner for I have sinned. It has been 6 years since the last time I saw MST3K and I have never seen Rifftrax before.
I got a chance to check out Rifftrax's live cast of Jack the Giant Killer tonight. I really don't know how to tell you how much fun it was. Let's start with at some point I laughed so hard I cried. Then I cried so hard I... wait, no only the other way around. Ignore that. The comedy was amazingly fantastic. It felt much more organic than MST3K, even though the material appeared to be produced beforehand (I dare you to come up with over a hundred good jokes for a movie on the cuff, double dog dare you) it still felt very organic. You know, like it was that one funny friend you have that always makes cracks at movies and your other friends are all "You know that one, such a kidder." Ah.
Next time you see it appear on our list or hear about it coming up go check it out. It tends to show in multiple theaters in the same night. I'm definitely going to try to make it out to the next one. A real geek must see.
I hope one phrase from tonight's cast becomes common vernacular. "Grab the Bone"
