Greetings, backers! You folks never cease to amaze us. After just over 24 hours since launching, we’re already over 50% of the way to our goal! Huzzah!
It’s truly humbling to see how much support you folks give us year after year, and this time is no exception—especially not knowing one of the movies! Day One of this Kickstarter campaign was a rousing success, and we wouldn’t be here without you. Thank you!
We thought now would be a good time to address a few of the questions you’ve had so far:
Will this year’s Backer Shirt be ready in time to wear to any of the shows?
A very optimistic “yes!” Last year we ran into some snags that prevented us from shipping things on time; this time around, we’re exploring sites like BackerKit and CrowdOx to see if we can’t make this year’s rewards get to you a little more smoothly.
Is this version of Samurai Cop safe for work/family?
Kind of! We’ve edited out the gratuitous nudity, however most of the violence is intact - just as the MPAA intended! If you don’t mind cartoonish bloodshed, hokey death scenes and awkward moments of unexpected banana hammocks, then you’re in luck. If you have any specific concerns, please don’t hesitate to send us a message.
Will any of these shows be airing in Canada?
Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee a broadcast to Canada at this time, but we’re really hopeful that they’ll be showing our super secret mystery title.
What about Anytown, USA?
It's always up to individual theaters to opt into these events, and we can't guarantee that the same theaters will always participate. We highly recommend contacting your favorite local theater or multiplex directly, and ask them to show RiffTrax Live. Let your voice be heard!
Will these shows have encores? I can't make one of the dates!
You bet! We have encores planned for each show, starting with SAMURAI COP (live on April 13, rebroadcast on April 18). We'll announce encore dates for the other shows a little later. Keep an eye on the FAQs section for more.
What’s the super secret mystery movie?
Well actually, it's--heyyyy. Nice try, but unfortunately it’s still a secret. For now! It'll be worth the wait, we promise!
Thanks once again for all of your incredible generosity. We’ll be back with another update soon!
