Thanks to you, the Kickstarter community, we shattered RiffTrax Kickstarter records in 2016 when you helped us fund our Mystery Science Theater 3000 Reunion show. This year, we're headlining our Live show slate with one of our biggest names ever!
With your help, we can make this the most amazing year of RiffTrax Live yet!

Greetings, oh fabled backers of yore!
We hope this update finds you well.
We’re just checking in to make sure you don’t miss out on this year’s Kickstarter campaign, which is set to end this Saturday at 6:00PM PDT. This year, we’re bringing two AWESOME live shows to theaters nationwide: KRULL and SPACE MUTINY.
Thanks to the help of RiffTrax fans like you, we’ve already reached our initial funding goal, and have even managed to hit our first few stretch goals!
We’ve also unlocked a riff of the uber-referential blockbuster Ready Player One for backers at the $50 level or above, as well as Kevin Murphy cosplaying as Cameron Mitchell’s SPACE SANTA for our Space Mutiny live show. We’re hoping to hit these last few goals in the final days of the campaign:
8,000 Backers: Space Mutiny Blu-Ray! Backers at $100 or above can select a Blu-Ray or DVD of the live show.
9,000 Backers: Solo: A Star Wars Story Just-The-Jokes App-enabled RiffTrax FREE to all backers!
9,500 Backers: Our Ready Player One riff is now FREE to all backers!
10,000 Backers: It's A Wonderful Life App-enabled RiffTrax FREE to all backers!
Every dollar helps us reach these superlative stretch goals (Seriously though, you did see that Ice Cream Bunny pin up there, right?!) AND your donation of just a dollar or more nets you TEN shorts and up-to FOUR Just the Jokes MP3 riffs!
If you’re up for spending a little more, we’ve got tons of cool stuff in this year’s campaign. Including, for the first time ever, RiffTrax Soft Enamel Pins, as well as a signed, unique doodle from Mike Nelson, or even having your name in the credits for one of our live shows that will be broadcast to over 700 theaters across the country!
And if that’s not enough, if you’re a Drip subscriber and happen to back this Kickstarter at $35 or above, you’ll receive this DripTrax exclusive Kickstarter coin featuring president Michael J. Nelson!
If you haven’t subscribed to us on Drip yet, now’s the best time! You’ll get access to Drip-exclusive behind-the-scenes features, special content from Mike, Kevin and Bill, and cool stuff from the RiffTrax archives! PLUS, if we happen to reach 2,500 DripTraxians by the end of this Kickstarter Campaign, every backer will receive a $2 RiffTrax Store Credit - whether they’re a DripTrax subscriber or not. By subscribing, you’re not only getting cool stuff, and potentially an exclusive coin, you’re also helping out your fellow RiffTrax fans!
We’ve been lucky enough to enjoy your support on Kickstarter in the past, we’re hoping you’ll once again support us this year. And if you’ve already pledged, thank you so much! We couldn’t do all of this without you, and your help really means the world to us. We’ll see you at RiffTrax Live 2018!
Best,
-Mike, Kevin and Bill
Kickstarter 2018! Space Mutiny and Krull!

Greetings Kickstarter Backers of yesteryear!
Since you were so generous to back one of our previous Kickstarter campaigns, we wanted to make sure you were in the know on what’s happening this year.
In 2018, we’re hoping to bring you TWO amazing RiffTrax Live shows…
SPACE MUTINY and KRULL! For Space Mutiny, we’re bringing an all-new script to this MST3K favorite, and we couldn’t be more excited to do this for Blast HardCheese, Bolt Vanderhuge, and Bob Johnson!
In Krull, we’ve got an awesome 80’s sci-fi/sword-and-sorcerer cult classic that’s been baked to riffing perfection. Plus, a young Liam Neeson!
In exchange for your support this year, we’ve got a whole slew of amazing rewards lined up including exclusive shirts, posters, and, for the first-time-ever, collectible enamel pins AND the opportunity to craft your own name for David Ryder!
If you’re as excited about these shows as we are, head on over to RiffTrax.com/Kickstarter and help us get this campaign to the finish line!

Batman v. Superman v. RiffTrax!

A merry Wednesday to you, backers!
Get ready to scream "MARTHA!!!" to your heart’s content: the Batman v. Superman RiffTrax has landed! Here's a preview clip:
This movie was just too blockbuster-y to take on alone, so we assembled a veritable Riffing Justice League to tackle it! Joining Mike, Kevin and Bill are the Dynamic Duo of Bridget and Mary Jo; The Mads, Frank Conniff and Trace Beaulieu; Sketchfest riffers extraordinaire Janet Varney and Cole Stratton; our favorite riffing Brits Matthew J. Elliott and Ian Potter; and, in their riffing debuts, RiffTrax writer-producers Sean Thomason and Conor Lastowka!
Since you helped make RiffTrax Live 2017 happen, this riff is ready to enjoy from both your Library and backer rewards pages, and via our auto-syncing RiffTrax app. It’ll sync the riff up perfectly with the theatrical cut of the film (the director’s cut is too much, even for us!) which is conveniently available to stream on HBO.
Get ready for a riff of epic proportions! It's available to ALL our 2017 Kickstarter backers exclusively FIRST, and will be available to the public later today. Stay tuned for some special holiday news from us, too!
In Gabe we Trust,
- Mike, Kevin, Bill and the RiffTrax Team
Batman v. Superman dawning next week!

Howdy, backers!
As you may recall, we had previously mentioned that your Batman V. Superman riff reward would be released approximately around today, and unfortunately we have to delay it. Luckily, it's only by a few more days! The revised release date is now Wednesday, December 20th.
This riff was so jam-packed with so many jokes from so many performers, that it just needs a little more TLC before we can release it into the wild. (And no, we're not putting a silly-looking CGI mustache on Superman. Or ARE WE?!)

Sorry for the hold-up, but we know this riff'll be worth the wait!
