It’s the first day of 2021 even though it feels like 2020 is still going on and doing it’s terrible, terrible thing, you can, if you’re up for it, try to start the year anew.

In that regard, we’d like to remind you of the first real big comedy event of the year (it’s still virtual, FYI): SF Sketchfest’s Festpocalypse. Coming in at the end of January right around when SF Sketchfest, one of the world’s biggest comedy festivals would normally happen, Festpocalypse will be a virtual event at a proportion that SF Sketchfest hasn’t ever done. Just take a gander at that line-up on the flyer. Even though it’s taking place over one day only, it really is a bill that they’d have at their normally scheduled, three week comedy festival extravaganza that takes over San Francisco.

Also, you should note that Festpocalypse is a fundraiser for SF Sketchfest to keep going in the future when doing a big time festival will be allowed.

Festpocalypse is set for Jan. 30th and will begin streaming at 5PM PT/8PM ET. Tickets start at only $20, but go up if you want to snag some merch. Go get them here.

Pick of the Day: Rifftrax-Starship Troopers 9/29

Now, more so than any time in recent memory, would be a great time to pick apart a movie that can arguably be categorized as a recruitment tool for the military, Starship Troopers. This hyper stylized adaptation of the Robert Heinlein novel is beloved for how over-the-top it gets and kind of became a cult classic instantly.

So, why not join some of the best folks around when it comes to riffing during a movie, the RiffTrax crew of Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett doing a virtual riffing on Starship Troopers (via the free Scener app)?

They’ll be doing just that on Tue. Sept. 29th at 5:30PM PT/8:30PM ET. Tickets for RiffTrax: Starship Troopers are available now at the nice price of $9.99 and can (and should) be snagged here.

If watching all the Mystery Science Theater 3000 that you possibly can on Vimeo isn’t enough movie riffing fun for you, then you’ll be happy to know that many of the MST3K guys, now the stars of RiffTrax, have redone their entire website to make it easy to find, get, and enjoy their riffs to your favorite bad movies.

The National Geographic Channel is also having RiffTrax back this December after a successful run on April Fool’s Day, riffing, as they do, over animal footage.

That should be enough to satisfy your movie riffing fix.

Rifftrax’s Next Big Simulcast Is Taking on 1998’s Godzilla

Rifftrax, many of the guys behind MST3K, have been riffing on movies in one-off nationwide simulcast performances broadcast live into theaters near you for some time now. Their latest project is riffing on the 1998 American made version of Godzilla starring Matthew Broderick.

They’ve raised enough money via Kickstarter to fund this project, but they’re still donations. Thus, Rifftrax will be riffing on Godzilla on Aug. 14th.

RiffTrax Next Live Show Will Be Riffing on Sharknado

In addition to their riffing over National Geographic for a few hours on April Fool’s Day, a match made in cult movie heaven is in the works as RiffTrax is set to do their next big live event via Fathom Events (i.e. you’ll be able to watch them live via live streaming in participating theaters across the country) will be riffing over The Asylum’s Sharknado.

They’ll be doing so on July 10th and tickets will be available May 2nd.
