Hello everyone, Conor Lastowka here.
Every time we do a live show, Sean and I come up with a few dozen slides that run during the pre-show. As I said in a previous post, these are the ONLY aspects of our business here at RiffTrax that are subject to an external Standards and Practices department, and every show, we are surprised to see what we are not (and what we are) allowed to put in the pre-show. Here are the four slides that were rejected for our upcoming Krull show (Thursday, 8/23!)
I would call this one a fairly uncontroversial statement, (Fallen Kingdom got 51% on the Tomatometer.) It's a good thing that during the rest of the show we're allowed to imply that some movies might be, you know, not very good! Otherwise it would be a very short evening!
Don't imply that Disney... owns a lot of entertainment franchises and is trying to acquire more to satisfy their shareholders? If you go see Krull Live, keep an eye out during the pre-show for a slide about the Little Mermaid's *ahem* well endowed priest that was somehow deemed an acceptable Disney joke.
I guess the dart hit this one when they tossed it blindfolded?
We submit these slides exactly one month in advance of the live event. I'm glad this one was rejected because it turns out it comically underestimated how bad and inconvenient MoviePass would actually be by the time it got around to the show date!
