Our 2023 Kickstarter ends tomorrow! Help us riff Beastmaster and go to Golden Corral!
12 months ago – Fri, Mar 31, 2023 at 03:11:59 PM

Hello backers of yesteryear!

We're just popping by to let you know that our 2023 Kickstarter campaign is ending tomorrow night, April 1st, at 6:00PM PT! This year, we're riffing the most action-packed BMX flick the 1980s had to offer -- RAD! No fooling!

New Stretch Rewards Unlocked, Including Cobra andTop Gun: Maverick Riffs! Help us unlock Beastmaster

Thanks to the generosity of backers just like you, we have already surpassed our initial funding goal, and unlocked a ton of awesome stretch rewards including riffs of Top Gun: Maverick (2022) and Cobra (1986), a new eBook of a RiffTrax novel (Nick Nolte, P.I.), and an online Makeup and Meat Raffle hosted by Bridget and Mary Jo!

We're nearly out of time - but with your help, we can unlock these final backer-based stretch goals:

Time's running out to unlock these rewards!

Want us to riff the absolutely cheesy classic The Beastmaster? Or the totally historically accurate Nic Cage flick National Treasure? We only have just over 24 hours to make that happen, but we can - with your help!

Even if you pledge to this year's Kickstarter for just a buck you could get up to TEN COMEDY SHORTS, and a RiffTones song parody! And the rewards just keep going from there!

Be sure to check the campaign for highlights, including an exclusive RAD shirt and pin, an exclusive signed RiffTrax 8" x 10", and a ton more!

We are so incredibly grateful for all the support we've received. Backers like you are part of the reason we can keep bringing the funny to theaters year after year, so thank you. Truly.

Yours in riffing,

-Mike, Kevin, and Bill

Hey there, backers! 

First of all, what a year it's been. We are so genuinely appreciative of your support for this 2022 campaign, and we sincerely thank you for your patience while we worked nonstop to get the rewards produced. While we missed our original estimated date by a couple of months, we're pleased to announce that the Blu-Rays and DVDs have started shipping!

To that point, here's what will happen next for backers receiving one as part of their rewards (or Add-ons purchased during the campaign):

  • Backers who pledged at the DVD/Blu-Ray level or purchased Add-Ons will have theirs shipped out first.
  • We'll then ship Pre-order Only backers their physical versions next.
  • Finally, we'll open pre-orders for Blu-Rays and DVDs for everyone else. This year, The Return of Swamp Thing will be an EXCLUSIVE only available to backers. In other words, our physical editions will ONLY be available through BackerKit as part of this Kickstarter campaign.

If you aren't already a backer, it's not too late! Become a late backer by pre-ordering your format of choice through BackerKit at the link below:

If you haven't gotten yours or are experiencing any issues unlocking your rewards, please email us at [email protected] (instead of asking in the Comments section) so we can help you directly.

DUNE is here + Reward updates!
about 1 year ago – Fri, Dec 30, 2022 at 11:39:06 PM

Happy (almost) New Year, backers!

Before we roll over into 2023, we have one more reward for you. Grab your Spice Melange and your Duncan Idahos, our riff of Dune: Part 1 is here! If you were generous enough to back this Kickstarter at the $75 tier, or $the 100 tier or more,  this intergalactic riff is part of your rewards. Go here to claim it. This riff is compatible with the RiffTrax Sync app, too, so be sure to grab the app, your copy of the movie, and enjoy!

Updates on Outstanding Rewards

We also wanted to touch on our remaining rewards still in progress before the New Year:

  • The second wave of shirts is going out now! You should be receiving them before too long. If you still haven't received yours after some time, or if there is a problem with your shirt, please email us at [email protected] so we can assist you personally.
  • Autographed Posters are expected to be sent out to the relevant backers in early January; we'll have another update once they're on their way.
  • Kevin's Jingles are also in progress! If you backed at the Kevin Jingle level, you should get yours soon (if you haven't already).
  • Mike is digging deep for his very artistic process of assembling those weird Underpants Guys. If you backed at that level, look for your one-of-a-kind masterpiece to grace your inbox soon.
  • Bill is on his way to Nantucket to ensure his limericks are 100% authentic, and they should be wrapped up before too long. We'll send an update to those backers once we have the design ready for them to look at! 

As always, if you have any issues with your rewards, or other questions/concerns, please feel free to reach out to us by emailing [email protected] and we'll help you out directly. 

Survey slackers!

ONE MORE THING: There are still 378 of you who have not filled out your BackerKit survey. We are approaching the 1-year mark, and if you haven't filled out your survey by then, you risk not getting access to your 2022 rewards! Since the process to link your rewards on the site is somewhat manual process, we're asking you to please submit your survey information ASAP if you want those rewards. Be sure to check your email for "RESPONSE NEEDED" emails from BackerKit, or go here to request it, and make sure your survey is filled out. We try to export them once a week to make sure you can connect your rewards over at the RiffTrax.com Rewards Page here, so we appreciate your cooperation!

Stay on the Golden Path this weekend, and have a great New Year! 

- Mike, Kevin, Bill, and the RiffTrax Team

P.S. In case you didn't know, there's a New Year's Sale going on at RiffTrax right now. Get 23% off riffs to celebrate the new year. Full details here.
