So I am sitting in the theater with my son to see Earth to Echo (not as bad as the critics play it) and the previews start up. So I sit back to close my eyes like I normally do because generally its the same bullshit in every movie except this one. I get a surprise that Rifftrax through Fathom Events will be streaming live Godzilla 1998 on August 14th and as you will see on their website (I posted the link below) they will also be streaming Anaconda on October 30th. Honestly I never heard of of Rifftrax before that. So being the curious lad I am I went right to their website . Remember Mystery Science Theater 3000 all those years ago ? Well these are the same guys just doing it in a real theater this time streamed live .So this should be a a train wreck of biblical proportions that I must see because those guys know how to take a bad movie and make enjoyable to watch.
