RiffTrax is bringing the riffing back to where it all began with the Sharknado edition of RiffTrax live. They're bringing the show to the State Theater in Minneapolis where Mystery Science Theater 3,000 was born 25 years ago. If you can't make it to the theater, you can still see it in theaters throughout the US and Canada.

So, we've had a lot of RiffTrax coverage lately—as in, seriously, a lot—and it seems I've led some of the Internet's more impressionable denizens to believe I am in charge of them. After last night's hilarious Total Riff Off, I got a complaint from a viewer who wished they'd just shut up and enjoy demon bats in silence.

Hey, did you know that RiffTrax, formerly the cast of Mystery Science Theater 3,000, is going to return to TV on National Geographic tonight? Because we've certainly been talking about it a lot. They've been talking about it, too, and they took to Reddit this afternoon to answer fan questions in an AMA, so we got some highlights together for you.

"Making fun of weird animal stuff" pretty much describes a lot of what we do here on Geekosystem, but when we heard that RiffTrax was doing it on TV on National Geographic Channel, we were a bit surprised. So I talked to Kevin Murphy, former voice of Tom Servo and RiffTrax cast member to find out more.

Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett, and Kevin Murphy just announced their next RiffTrax Live! event and it's a big one: Sharknado! You'll be able to catch it simulcast live on screens across the country on Thursday July 10 and Tuesday July 15th. They also dropped some details of their upcoming Nat Geo takeover!

I don't think Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett can call themselves Mystery Science Theater guys anymore for legal reasons, but that's not stopping me. These days they tend to go by a their more recent and entirely laudable efforts as the Rifftrax guys. But if they're going to be riffing on nature videos for National Geographic, I hold out hope that there will be at least one huge slam on anteaters out of nowhere.

Mystery Science Theater 3,000 was one of the greatest shows in television history, and the show's stars, Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy (Tom Servo), and Bill Corbett (Crow T. Robot), are still making movies fun in RiffTrax. Now, RiffTrax is coming to television and adding comedy to nature on National Geographic Channel.

First, the bad news: the MST3K alums at RiffTrax couldn't lock down the rights to make a RiffTrax version of Twilight. The good news, of course, is that you don't need to watch Twilight now or ever again. The even better news, though, is that the team will bring their trademark heckling to the sci-fi classic Starship Troopers.

In the not too distant future, somewhere in movie theaters, Mike Nelson and his RiffTrax pals could be making fun of Twilight live for your entertainment. That's right, the RiffTrax team wants to do another of their simulcast live events where they make fun of a movie, and they want that movie to be Twilight. To do that though, they have to acquire the rights to the film, which can be expensive. They've launched a Kickstarter campaign that is already over three times its goal, but that still might not be enough to make this happen -- and I really, really want this to happen.

As part of DC Comics' New 52, one character was rumored to be rebooted as an openly gay character, but who was it going to be? Well, on the heels of Marvel's gay wedding, we now know that it will be the Green Lantern himself, Alan Scott, exiting the closet, and making the DC universe more diverse and inclusive! But, something reminds us of another gay comic book character, something about the garb... Hmmm... (via The Beat, image via anonymous tip))

Ah, the vintage educational film. Enlightening, casually hyperbolic, ripe for MST3K commentary. Unfortunately, after a quick search, I couldn't find this 1953 short by the Centron Corporation, Your Health: Posture on RiffTrax, but consider this an opportunity to provide your own witty banter! Here is what you'll learn today, fellow computer users: slouching is the reason no one talks to you at parties, even if you're a perfectly attractive and friendly person, and the key to good posture is exercise, rest, and good shoes. Though we will tell you one thing: If your reflection in the mirror is mocking you because of your posture, you might have bigger problems than slouching. (Archive.org via Mother Board)

When three of the guys from Mystery Science Theater 3000 realized five years ago that their presence was still required for the mockery of films of every genre, the world changed for the better because they created RiffTrax. Now, as non-robots, Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett (as well as a slew of other guests that have included the likes of "Weird" Al Yankovic and Neil Patrick Harris) celebrate five successful years that have brought us delightful commentary for today's box office hits (and misses). Because someone had to give Twilight the MST3K treatment. (And The Room, for that matter.) We're so happy it's these guys. (RiffTrax on YouTube via BuzzFeed)
