Bill wrote Meet Dave. Just throwing that out there for someone who wants their script reviewed by him.
(I kid, I kid)
But I like the description on that reward, ensuring us that Bill is "surprisingly friendly."

They just added a new $1 backer tier. If you back at $1 (or any amount), you'll get up to 10 free shorts. For every 150 new backers (up to 4,650), a new free short unlocks.

In the meantime, I'll capitalize on the "mystery title" by making a board game based off of it. I even have a nifty jingle:
Open the door for your mystery title.
Nah, that'll never work. Anyways, something tells me we might get a BVS riff as a stretch goal.

They just added some stretch goals:
A riff of the Red Wedding episode of Game of Thrones
A new VOD riff of Final Justice
A Bridget & Mary Jo collection DVD
A Summer Shorts Beach Party DVD
The campaign has to get up to $350,000 to get them all.

I have no interest in any more reriffs, let alone Final Justice. Especially after how lame the Time Chasers live show turned out. Haven't watched past he first season of Game of Thrones and don't really desire to see more, riffed or not.
Needless to say, these stretch goals don't interest me.

I really don't understand refiffing

Honestly, they're probably pretty popular. A reriff of a beloved MST3k title likely pays for a few z-movie VODs.
And I'm glad that there are plans for more shorts DVDs.

I don't really see why they would be popular. Part of the fun of our beloved shows is seeing new movies. Doing a new riff on a movie that was already well riffed in the first place just gets less appealing the more they do it. This is their, what is it, fifth time reriffing a film that was on MST (not including shorts)? I thought Manos was surprisingly good, but I wasn't really desiring it when it came out and it took me forever to even watch it. Then it was a live reriff year after year. And this is not including reriffs of movies they already riffed on Rifftrax, with "three-riffer editions" and new scripts for live shows. But I suppose the different scripts for live shows are a virtue though, because it's worth seeing these things in a live format but new riffs add to the surprise. But every time they put out a riff of something they've already done before, I can't help but not be enthused. The movies are half the fun and I like looking forward to the next title.
But Rifftrax's library is so large that A. I can't keep up with it and B. Its easy enough to just ignore what I'm not interested in and direct myself to something that I am. They have The Last Shark, which looks like a blast, and it looks like their latest title is actually the first Ator movie. I'm tempted to pick those two out and get on with my life.

I really don't understand refiffing What the heck? I don't know how this broken misspelled sentence fragment got posted with no other content. Whoops. I meant to write that I don't understand why they re-riff SciFi-era episodes. I get re-riffing Joel episodes, or even CC-era Mike to an extent, since the style differs enough to give a different experience, but there's not enough variance when the same 3 guys do the re-riffs. It ends up not differentiating itself enough and/or struggling to come up with different riffs to not repeat themselves (which is what I thought the problem with Time Chasers was). |

At the risk of sounding like Eric J, I'm not sure how much I can really look forward to another set of Joe Don Baker fat jokes. Hypocrite that I am, I would be more open to them riffing a different Joe Don Baker movie, as long as it's not Mitchell, either.

I recall on the RiffTrax forum there was talk on riffing Framed, another Joe Don Baker classic, but they felt the movie was too nasty to make fun of so it was dropped.
