While Mystery Science Theater fans wait for news of a 14th season...and their swag from the Kickstarter campaign...Rifftrax has been busy.
Its annual Kickstarter campaign is underway, and this time it's taking on another fad movie.
It's the 1986 movie, RAD, which ain't. It's about a BMX rider who has to choose between a major competition and preparing for college.
The decision takes seconds.
However, he has to deal with some sneaky guys who keep changing the rules so that their BMX guy gets all the glory.
Any resemblance between this and, say, "No Defeat, No Surrender" is unavoidable.
The movie features gymnast Bart Conner because he clearly couldn't cut it in Gymkata, Lori Laughlin before Full House and the Big House, Talia Shire as the "go to college" mom, and Ray Walston.
So, should MST3K be worried?
No. Season 14 is coming, in the same way as Rifftrax.
Will this be funded in record time? Of course.
UPDATE: Hit 250K in about eight hours.
The link to the campaign is here, and it'll do as well as last year's Return of Swamp Thing, if not better.
The real excitement is what stretch goals will be coming through the end of March. We shall see.
