"Much like the '27 Yankees â or perhaps more like âThe Three
Stoogesâ in their latter days, with Curly Joe Derita, we feel like we
have the perfect line-up in place for 2015,â Michael J. Nelson of
RiffTrax said.
Speaking of which, hereâs a bit more on the four films:
RiffTrax Live: The Room:
If there were ever a movie tailor-made for the RiffTrax guys, The Room
is it! Perhaps the most baffling and hilarious independent film ever
produced, The Room has won legions of fans around the world and become a
favorite at festivals and midnight screenings! It, kind of, tells the
story of a San Francisco bank employee (played by writer/director/auteur
Tommy Wiseau) whose fiancĂ©e seduces Tommyâs best friend. This tears him
apart, causing him to: put on a tuxedo, toss a football with his weird
neighbor, have long puzzling rooftop discussions, and eventually, throw a
very light TV out his own window.
Thursday, May 6 at 8pm EST/ 7pm CST and tape-delayed to 7pm MST/
8pm PST/HI/AK and an encore presentation on Tuesday, May 12 at 7:30pm
(local time)
RiffTrax Live: Sharknado 2: The Second One:
The first RiffTrax Sharknado: Live event was a smash-success
garnering rave reviews. Donât miss your chance to see Mike, Kevin and
Bill in theaters nationwide as they button up their raincoats and go
headlong into Sharknado 2: The Second One. This time the titular weather
event hits the city of New York, right as all the gruff and busy
inhabitants are trying to walk, over here! Internal shark chain-sawer
Ian Ziering is back, along with Tara Reid as his ex-wife who kind of
likes him now, ever since her douche-y boyfriend got eaten by a shark in
their living room. And no famous landmark is safe from the sharkâs
wrath, including perennially grumpy New Yorker Judd Hirsch.

RiffTrax Live: Miami Connection:
If you put everything about the '80s in a blender and then ran the
results through a translator that only speaks languages from another
dimension, what youâd wind up with still wouldnât be half as hilarious,
weird and oddly charming as Miami Connection.
Plot-wise, this one takes place in 1987 as cocaine- trafficking
motorcycle ninjas are making life difficult in Florida. A rock band
called Dragon Sound, who all know martial arts, step in to save the day.
Led by a 9th degree Taekwondo black belt (played by actual black belt
Y.K. Kim, who also co-wrote and co-directed the movie), Dragon Sound all
live together in a big house and perform songs with intimidating titles
like âFriendsâ (seriously, the scene where they perform âFriendsâ is
not to be missed).
Thursday, October 1 at 8pm EST/ 7pm CST and tape-delayed to 7pm
MST/ 8pm PST/HI/AK and an encore presentation on Tuesday, October 6 at
7:30pm (local time)
RiffTrax Live: Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny:
One of the strangest Christmas movies ever made, Santa and The Ice
Cream Bunny defies logic, reason and several laws of physics. In a
warped nutshell: Santaâs sleigh is stuck on the beach, and only one
creature can help him: The Ice Cream Bunny! Co-starring a pig, a
sweltering man in a gorilla suit, magic beans and soiled Santa costumes,
Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny is one of the most popular RiffTrax
titles of all time and a bona fide holiday classic.
