The comedy event of the year comes to DVD! The stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000® meet the worst movie of all time to bring you RiffTrax Live! Join Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett live and onstage at the historic Belcourt Theater in Nashville as they riff along hilariously to Ed Wood's classic B-movie blunder Plan 9 from Outer Space. Hosted by internet superstar Veronica Belmont, and featuring two uproarious short films by Somethingawful.com's Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka, as well as a crowd-pleasing musical set by geek troubadour Jonathan Coulton, RiffTrax Live! Nashville '09 offers non-stop music and laughs. Also includes "Flying Stewardess," a 40's travel short that gets subjected to the guys' signature brand of rapid-fire riffing.
Join Mike, Kevin, Bill and the gang for a truly magical night of comedy and cult classics: RiffTrax Live!

I wasn't sure what to expect from this first RiffTrax Live event. By the time it was over, I'd laughed the hardest I'd probably laughed in a year or two!
Other than the two "riffed" films, there were some other short comedy bits of variable quality. There were some fake commercials, one of which I made our audience and I laugh, but the other not so much. This was my first, and likely last, experience with Jonathan Coulton. I know he is extremely popular in some circles, and if you are a fan I'm sure you'll like to see him here. Personally, I'm thankful that I can skip past him on the DVD.
On to the main films, both Plan 9 and the stewardess short were comedy gold. It was like an especially good old Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode. The shots where they showed the guys off to the side while they ripped on the movie were a great idea. It was a lot of fun to see their expressions and when they even cracked each other up.
Mike, Kevin, and Bill definitely brought their A game for this one. If you enjoy RiffTrax or are an old MSTK fan like I am, I wholeheartedly recommend this.

I'll bet the Alien Commander can do this review in one sentence.

My review is based on seeing the live performance back in August of '09. I don't think seeing the same performance on a smaller screen will be as funny, but it will still be side-splitting hilarious. Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, & Bill Corbett are in great form and the results are well worth buying this DVD for your collection.
Perhaps the only worthy criticism is that they tried to make a "show" of it, highlighted by a somewhat nervous host ("Internet Superstar" Veronica Belmont), a couple of songs from Rich Kyanka that you can take or leave, and a funny performance by Corbett of "Plans 1 - 8". It certainly may have influenced the next Live Show (the "Christmas Shorts") which restricted itself to riffing the shorts alone.
We start with the highly riffable short, "Flying Stewardess" a trip into the late 40's to see what it was like to train as a "Stewardess". I'm sure this will be popular with all MST3K/Rifftrax fans across the country, save perhaps for the citizens of Ft. Worth, Texas, who's city gets a good natured skewering.
Getting to the main event, "Plan 9" is so terrible as a film that it doesn't matter that it was presented in faux-color (heavy on pastels in some scenes). The riffing was wonderful, but at one point when the alien commander gives an unreal long-winded speech the riffing stopped as the audience howled in the joy of the moment. So bad, so effeminent, so gawd-awful long it was that at the end when Corbett popped off, "I think that was one sentence." the theatre exploded.
If you were there, this DVD is a must. If you are a fan, this DVD should be in your collection. If you are not sure, I would suggest viewing the first two Rifftrax shorts DVDs to get the flavor of the comedy.

The world's first movie-riffing series using former cast members from Minnesota-based programs goes out and does a live show as beamed to movie houses nationwide. This program feels more natural that the studio riffs, signifying that the team is in full form. Also on the program is the mildly amusing musical comedy of Jonathan Coulton, as well as the Rifftones. Something Awful made some forgettable fake commercials, which are apparently extended on the DVD.

very funny
I have been a fan of mystery science theatre 3000 for years and always wondered why they never did plan 9. Well this is as close as it gets and it's well worth it.

The best way to see RiffTrax is live in a theater, but watching this at home, I laugh almost as hard as when it was first performed. Read more
