Greetings gentle snowflakes; Friday's review of District 9 may suffer a delay until Saturday, due to a sudden scheduled viewing of the Ed Wood Jr. classic, "Plan 9 From Outer Space"!
So what's the big deal?
Well, I get to sit in a theater to watch this, along with a live audiocast of the Rifftrax crew, Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbet as they do a live riff show for this b-movie juggernaut!
As a result, not only is District 9's review bumped a day, Monday's review of A*P*E* will be replaced by not only a review of Plan 9, but the experience of the riff crew themselves doing a live show!
And if you guys don't know who these gentleman are, shame on you!
Shame on you, I say!
These fellows got their start dealing with the world of b-movies whilst working on a little cable series that some might remember called Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Since the series' end, the cast and crew of the show went in slightly different directions.
I say slightly, because Mike, Kevin and Bill are doing essentially the same thing through Rifftrax, while MST3K series creator Joel Hodgson went on to do the DVD series Cinematic Titanic, which is most like the original concept of the two projects; joined by Trace Beaulieu and the other remaining MST3K alumni.
