Also they say it’s only for a limited time so it could be a month or a year 🤷🏼‍♂️

I got Quest of the Delta Knights as a Kickstarter reward.

Jay G.

The "limited time" thing is the fact that it'll be ad free at first. They'll later add ad breaks to help pay for it, since they're not getting subscription money or individual rent/buy payments. So another reason why buying still has value.

Right, as a digital download. So it'd be still unavailable if all you owned were the DVDs.

At the moment, to own all the official releases, you need a mix of DVD and digital purchases.

And one VHS release!

The initial backer-based goals have been hit, so you can get 10 Rifftrax shorts if you back for $1.

They just announced new backer-based goals, including riffs of Cats and Judge Dredd.

They’ve also named the price of Rifftrax: The Game. $9.99.

MST3K has added an incentive for Rifftrax’s Kickstarter, backing for $1 or more gets you these shorts in the GizmoPlex:

• A Day At The Fair
• Is This Love?
• Progress Island USA
• Speech: Platform Posture and Appearance
• Money Talks!

So backing for $1 gets you 10 Rifftrax shorts and 5 MST3K ones. A pretty good deal.

I got that email from Mst3k too but when I go to the Kickstarter at rifftrax it doesn’t mention the extra 5 Mst3k shorts?

majorjoe23

Maybe they'll update with that later.

majorjoe23

Rifftrax has posted about it:

EDIT: Backers at $60 and above will also get access to Rifftrax's Gizmoplex event.

Its not listed in the pledge section. The updates section on the RT Kickstarter has the info. I pledged a dollar.

NEW MST3K Backer Rewards!

RiffTrax: Mike, Bill & KevinCreator
March 31, 2022Hello everyone!

Since this campaign is concluding in the not-too-distant future, we thought it was only appropriate we bring in some new rewards from the folks over at Mystery Science Theater 3000. You may have heard of them!

For starters, everyone who backs this campaign at any level (except the "No Reward" level, for obvious reasons) will now get FIVE MST3K Shorts in the Gizmoplex as part of their rewards! But that's not where the Gizmoplex goodness stops. Any backer who supports us at the $60 ATTEND THE ONLINE GAME PREMIERE tier and above will also get access to RiffTrax's (that's us) event at the Gizmoplex later this year. HI-KEEBA!

Kickstarter doesn’t allow campaigns to edit existing rewards once a campaign is live. It’s annoying, but it probably prevents shady campaigns from deleting rewards.

majorjoe23

All Rifftrax Kickstarter backers at $15 and above now get the Just the Jokes riff of Old.

majorjoe23

The Rifftrax Kickstarter ends in about an hour. At this point a $1 pledge gets you:

10 Rifftrax shorts
5 MST3K shorts
An MP3 riff of Old
An original song

majorjoe23

Shout posted on Facebook that they only have about 100 copies left of the Cinematic Titanic set, and it will be going out of print after those are gone.

It already sold out last.night.

When will they send Those out?

majorjoe23

Two special editions were recently announced with Rifftrax commentaries as special features. Kino Lorber did this a few years ago with two titles. I wonder if this will start to become more common?

Solid debut for Emily's first episode, Beyond Atlantis.

Kelsey Ann Brady the Emily Crow on the live after show is kind of wacky.

Jay G.

Joel mentions in the after show that she didn't get cast in the Cheesy Circus Tour because she was "too weird," and she's calmed down since.

This was a really strong episode for a first-time host. I guess all the tour performances helped the group out.

Not mentioned during the after show, but Kelsey replaced Nate Begle as Crow, first on the tour and now on the main show. He left midway through the tour, reportedly because his wife had a baby, but he's also delete all his social media, and Alternaversal is keeping mum on the reason for his departure. Kelsey filled in as Crow for the remainder of the tour, and is now Crow in the show as well.

Interesting about Begle. I hadn’t seen that anywhere before last night. Someone in the Discord said it but I thought it was due to each host having their own bot voices.

Jay G.

Begle would've been Emily's Crow. It's not known yet who will be the voices for Joel's bots.

They have confirmed that Kelsey has replaced Begle, but that's all anyone is saying.

What's interesting is that Emily's team recorded a few episodes before the latest tour, and recorded some after. There was a cast photo after the initial shoot that included Begle, and Begle started the tour as Crow. So it seems like Kelsey's voice in this episode was likely dubbed over Begle's after the fact.

The most generous interpretation I can come up with is that Begle wanted to take more time off after the birth of his child, and didn't want to return for the shooting of the final episodes. This left the show in the awkward position of either having Emily's Crow change voices mid-season, having to explain it in-show and expect audiences to get used to a new Crow voice just after they got used to a new Crow voice, or just replace Begle's voice entirely, so Emily's Crow has the same voice all season.

So now, Begle's only recorded and released MST3K performance is the alternate version of one of the MIGIZI shorts

I’m pretty sure Emily at some point in the after show said this was the first episode recorded so it makes sense that Crow was dubbed in by Brady.

majorjoe23

Nate did return for the end of the Time Bubble circus. But by the time they recorded the Joel episodes in the spring she was on set operating Crow.

Has anyone received the ten free riff traxx shorts for the one dollar pledge?
