Hello, Traxians!
RiffTrax just turned 16! And of course we're having a sale to celebrate, but even better than that, we're riffing The Return of Swamp Thing LIVE from Nashville in less than a month!
One of the things we always craft early on is a trailer for the live event, since that's required to promote the upcoming show.
The lines for the trailer are written ahead of, and separately from, the script for the show itself! To give us options, the writers always craft a whole bunch of jokes that work even without the full context of the movie, then we end up choosing 2-3 of the best ones to use in the deliverable 20- and 30-second trailers.
AND, since each riffer records their own take of each line (again, for variety and editing flexibility) we always have a whole bunch of unused line-reads that end up on the cutting-room floor.
Rather than just discard that work into the dustbin of time, here's a supercut of all of the lines from the trailer - including all the ones we didn't use - just for you, dearest Traxians. Who said the line best? Which joke is your favorite? Huge shout-out to our video editor Casey June for putting this together.
You can see the final version of the trailer that is playing in movie theaters right here. Enjoy!
