Rifftrax Reveals Their Own Plan 9
Plan 9? Ah, yes. Plan 9 deals with the resurrection of the dead. Long
distance electrodes shot into the pineal and pituitary gland of the
recently dead. Or alternately, you can just have MST3K‘s Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett broadcast a live-riffing to 433 theaters across America — it’s the same effect, in that it makes me so happy I’ve turned into a drooling moron. Yes, the Rifftrax crew will do a live riff of Plan 9 from Outer Space at 8pm EST on August 20th, broadcast from the Belcourt Theatre in Nashville, Tennessee, and oh my god, I can’t even stand how awesome this is.
