In 2009, RiffTrax Live brought their unique brand of comedy to a screening of Plan 9 from Outer Space. This cult classic science fiction/horror film from 1959 has long been considered one of the worst movies ever made, so it was the perfect canvas for RiffTrax's hilarious commentary. The live event was hosted by Veronica Belmont, who introduced the movie and the RiffTrax crew. Bill Corbett and his fellow writers and performers provided the witty and irreverent commentary throughout the film, poking fun at the cheesy special effects, wooden acting, and nonsensical plot. The audience was encouraged to join in with laughter and applause, making it a truly interactive experience.
One of the highlights of the show was musician Jonathan Coulton's live performance of his song "Re: Your Brains", which was inspired by the zombie subplot of Plan 9 from Outer Space. Coulton's clever and catchy lyrics had the entire audience singing along.
Throughout the movie, the RiffTrax team made jokes and references to everything from Star Wars to American Idol, showing that their humor is both timeless and topical. They also took aim at some of the more ridiculous aspects of the film, such as the use of cardboard tombstones and the random appearances of Bela Lugosi (who had actually died before filming began and was replaced by a different actor).
Despite the fact that Plan 9 from Outer Space is widely considered a terrible movie, the RiffTrax Live event made it a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The witty banter, hilarious jokes, and infectious energy of the performers had the audience laughing from start to finish.
Overall, RiffTrax Live: Plan 9 from Outer Space is a must-see for fans of comedy, science fiction, or just plain old bad movies. With its talented cast, clever writing, and infectious enthusiasm, it's a comedic tour de force that will leave you with a smile on your face and tears in your eyes.
