No, the VOD will be of the live show, which was still a pretty nice, clean print we got from a collector. Ben's remaster wasn't ready in time for our use.

From Bill's Facebook page:
"To those who asked if RIFFTRAX LIVE: “Manos” The Hands of Fate would ever be released, the answer: YES. When: THIS FRIDAY, 9/20.
(Video on Demand)
Spread the Master's word! If so inclined!"
Later...
"P.S. re RIFFTRAX LIVE; Manos release on Friday, it's just video on demand for now. But Blu-ray is likely in near future."

I got the VOD of the Manos Live show and can't help but notice that the sketch featuring the pizza delivery by Torgo with The Master making an appearance, played by the guys making that official sequel to Manos, has been cut and edited out. Why is this. Did Jim Mallon at Best Brains threaten to sue you guys for the similarity to the MST3k episode, i.e. copyright infringement? Perhaps it was a one time thing? I noticed you cut out the the Torgo actor's rendition of Taken it Easy off the end credits for the VOD. Guess you would have to license the rights to that song or something. Please tell us why this is.

I got the VOD as a Kickstarter reward but look forward to the bluray release. Previous BD releases look super sharp.

Please tell us why this is. Given that the guy doing the Manos 2 movie (and playing Torgo) heaped a big bowl of legal red tape upon the Manos HD restoration project, it can probably be assumed he either did the same thing to Rifftrax, or the RT crew decided to just play it safe and avoid any possible conflict by omitting any content he was involved with. I didn't find the Torgo's Pizza skit to be all that funny, so no big loss imo. And if you're hankering to see the music video again, it's on YouTube.
