RiffTrax Joins Forces With Nebula: A Comedy-Filled Partnership

Imagine watching a movie and having experts crack hilarious jokes about it in real time. That's what RiffTrax offers, and now they're teaming up with the indie streamer Nebula to bring their unique brand of comedy to even more screens. This partnership isn't just about funny commentary; it's also a meeting of two creative powerhouses who value independence and innovation. RiffTrax was started back in 2006 by three former stars of the cult classic show "Mystery Science Theater 3000": Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett. They've built a library of over 1,000 titles, each with their signature humorous commentary. Their live events, RiffTrax Live, are broadcast into hundreds of theaters across North America. Nebula, on the other hand, is an indie streaming platform owned mostly by its creators. It's a hub for original content and has been gaining traction with viewers who enjoy unique perspectives. The collaboration between RiffTrax and Nebula will kick off with a weekly series called "Saturday Cinema," starting October 5th.

The first release in this series is a riffed version of the classic horror film "Night of the Living Dead." This isn't just about watching a movie; it’s about experiencing it in a whole new way, filled with laughter and insightful jokes. "We couldn't be more excited to work with Nebula," said Michael J. Nelson, the president and head writer of RiffTrax. "As an independent company ourselves, we love that Nebula is creator-driven. It feels like a natural fit for us." Dave Wiskus, CEO of Nebula, echoed this sentiment: "The RiffTrax team are pioneers in comedy and digital entertainment. This collaboration is truly a dream come true." So, if you're looking for a fresh way to enjoy movies, keep an eye out for RiffTrax on Nebula. It might just become your new favorite way to spend Saturday nights.
