Rifftrax Live 2022: Return of the Swamp Thing Kickstarter!

RiffTrax Live 2022: The Return of Swamp Thing - and MORE! by RiffTrax: Mike, Bill & Kevin — Kickstarter

Yep, this year's live show involves bashing a super hero, the Swamp Thing!

(He's a DC Comics character, so he counts)

It looks like it's succeeding, so I am super excited for this one! I already pledged!

"(He's a DC Comics character, so he counts)"

I'd edit that to say "He's a DC Comics character, so he counted until 2018". 

But it's a great film to riff, and is also a charming film in-and-of-itself unriffed.  I genuinely hope you get great belly-laughs out of this and enjoy the heck out of the show when it happens.  I hope you have the time of your life.

footnote: I've just now upvoted you.

(singing) Swamp Thing! Da da da da dum! You are amazing! Da da da dum! And....I forget the rest of the song.

(normal) Yeah, I am somewhat singing the theme song for the Swamp Thing animated series from years ago. Why?

Because the Kickstarter has succeeded in reaching its goal! Yay!

Now I can't wait to see the stretch goals and the backer goals for this year!

When I did my pledge, I saw that they are only doing one show this year, which is a bummer .  Not sure what that means for any stretch goals or anything, but I was really hoping we'd get 2 live shows this year.  Oh well, still looking forward to this one.

I hope that they have at least one additional live show in their pocket that they'll pull out before the end of the Kickstarter.

Help us unlock up to 10 shorts!

[url=https://rifftrax.com/kickstarter]It's a new week, backers, and so we have a brand new set of stretch goals for you! In celebration of Kickstarter's Long Story Short month, we're unleashing SHORTS FOR ALL!

Starting at 3500 backers, and for every additional 250 backers beyond that (up to 5750), we're going to add FREE SHORTS to EVERY BACKER at EVERY REWARD LEVEL. Even if you support this Kickstarter at the new $1 "JUST SPREADING THE LAUGHS" tier, you'll get up to TEN professionally-crafted pieces of professional comedy once the campaign is over, you've completed your Backer Survey, and you've come back to the website to activate your rewards**.  (NOTE: You will need to select a reward level when you make a pledge, as we have found that backers who choose "NO REWARD" might encounter issues when activating their bonus rewards later on.)

Here's a breakdown of what we're adding, and what number of backers we need to get there:

IF WE REACH... YOU'LL GET...

• 3500 Backers: Marriage is a Partnership 
  
  
• 3750 Backers: Animal Antics 
  
  
• 4000 Backers: Dining Together 
  
  
• 4250 Backers: Don't Get Angry 
  
  
• 4500 Backers: Cindy Goes To A Party 
  
  
• 4750 Backers: Writing Better Social Letters 
  
  
• 5000 Backers: Glasses For Susan 
  
  
• 5250 Backers: Drawing For Beginners: The Square 
  
  
• 5500 Backers: Allen Is My Brother 
  
  
• 5750 Backers: Building An Outline 
  
  
  

Of course, we know a lot of you backers are long-time fans, and probably own some of these shorts already. Never fear! For every short you already own, you'll get credited $1 to your RiffTrax account when activating your Kickstarter rewards**. That means you'll either get some RiffTrax Comedy or RiffTrax Credit. Sounds great, right?

So, the best thing you can do for this Kickstarter right now: tell everyone! Your friends, your family, your frenemies - anyone within earshot who also has a Kickstarter account, or knows how to create one. 

Extremely scientific studies have shown that one of the best ways to introduce new folks to RiffTrax is through our educational short films. It's only a dollar to get ten of them, along with any future "all-backer" digital stretch rewards, and every dollar pledged helps make RiffTrax Live possible. So please share this, won't you?

Well then, enough said. Onward to shorts, good backers! We'll have more news to share "shortly."

- Mike, Kevin, Bill, and the RiffTrax Team

If you folks got all of this by now, you will get a $1 credit for each short unlocked. And so far, the first three shorts are unlocked. I hope for more!

And now for the next one....

One week from today, March 15th at 8:00AM PT,  RiffTrax will be making a BIG announcement right here on this Kickstarter campaign. It's something that we've been working on for a long time, and is truly unlike anything we have ever done before. 

While it's not another movie being added to this year's RiffTrax Live calendar, it is something that will involve you, dear Kickstarter backers — and we think you will be very excited to see it. 

Stay tuned!!!

I wonder what they are up to. I hope it's something good!

I'd edit that to say "He's a DC Comics character, so he counted until 2018". 

What are you taking about "until 2018"? the current run by Ram V has been some of the best Swamp Thing ever.

And I've read the Wein, Moore, Vietch, Wheeler, Collins, Morrison/Millar, Vaughn, Diggle, Snyder, and Russel runs.

Why the heck would he not count after 2018?

Does anyone have any concrete information on a possible Matrix Resurrections riff? It’s listed as an upcoming riff on wiki, & even tho wiki is of course not to be trusted it still got my hopes up.

PS pls pardon me for hijacking thread, soon as I did it I was like “ohh should have thought one second longer first”. (Story of my life!)
