Rifftrax Takes on Christmas

From Laurie Boeder, About.com GuideNovember 25, 2009

Follow me on:

Had it with The Nutcracker? So over A Christmas Carol?

Here's somethinga little different for the holdiays. The guys from Rifftrax, formerly of Mystery Science Theater 3000 fame, will be riffing on the deeply weird and wonderful stop-action tradition Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in a live performance December 16th, broadcast to theaters around the country.

It's another of those live events from the people at Fathom, who have a very interesting business model. They've done other live Rifftrax events, and sports, concerts, operas and classic movie anniversarys showings, like Wizard of Oz.

I hope this is working out for them, because a lot of what they're doing is great fun. (I'll pass on Glenn Beck's Christmas Sweater and opera, though. Each just plain crazy in its own way.)
