Hey! Just got an e-mail from Rifftrax. They're having an exciting new Kickstarter: They're shooting for a June 28th Rifftrax Live REUNION (!) show, featuring Mike, Kevin and Bill (of course), but also confirmed Bridget, Mary Jo, Frank and Trace! They've also invited all the other originals and those from the New Season! Yea! Should be fun. They're doing a bunch of shorts. They're also shooting for a May 5th Rifftrax Live showing of Time Chasers. People, fund like you've never funded before! *happydance*

YES! YES! YES!
Now, THIS is the kind of Kickstarter I can get behind.
Dear Rifftrax, Please take all of my money.
Thank you, Mr. Joaquin Atari

That's pretty cool. Just having Bridget, Mary Jo, Frank and Trace there is awesome, but I hope they manage to get Joel as well to join in as well.

I'm in! Especially for the minuscule possibility of going to Minneapolis for the live show.

That's so great that they will work with The Mads and Magic Voice! Hope the new cast is up for it too, because that would be the ultimate reunion and a great sign that past feuding is repaired.

In b4 many endless and useless posts about how Joel isn't listed means "DRAMA!"

In b4 many endless and useless posts about how Joel isn't listed means "DRAMA!" And reddit too! I don't think there is drama, but it's sure fun to read people's speculations!

Come on Joel, join us! (I have no speculations, I just want to see them all together on this)

Yeah, Joel's gonna have a lot on his plate right now, so I'm not gonna read too much into it.
What I *will* read too much into is Trace's appearance. Even if he's upset about some behind the scenes thing, appearing at Rifftrax Live is a nice gesture (and may well suggest, as many others have suggested, that he wasn't as upset as the rumor mill liked to say he was.)
But as for the news story itself: WOO! This'll rock. :-)

Woot!! I'm excited as hell about the reunion show, but a redo of TIME CHASERS!? They nailed it on MST, I don't see the need to revisit it. I'd rather see them redo ROBOT HOLOCAUST or some other early-season movie ripe for re-riffing.

I'd rather see them redo ROBOT HOLOCAUST or some other early-season movie ripe for re-riffing. That could potentially be a rights issue. Not as in "they won't let us have it" but as in "this is what we can afford". Companies tied to Robot Holocaust include Sony, MGM, and many others, and the only company I know offhand that's tied to Time Chasers is Edgewood Entertainment. Add to this the "main cast familiarity" bias (people who only know Rifftrax and haven't seen MST3K may be more interested in a movie previously riffed by Mike, Bill, and Kevin than a movie riffed by Joel, Trace, and Josh) and I can definitely see it being easier for Rifftrax to justify Time Chasers over Robot Holocaust or other similar early MST3K fare. I think I'd prefer seeing some earlier films as well, but I'll be glad to see where this goes.

They did say that the two other live shows would be completely new.
