Original post below:

Let’s not mince words (you read the title of this post): on July 22nd at 5:30PM PT Mike, Kevin and Bill will be riffing the first episode of Stranger Things LIVE and for FREE! 

We wanted to do this as a way of saying thank you to the Traxians, our fans, and the whole RiffTrax community for continuing to support us through these difficult times. While circumstances have prevented us from performing RiffTrax Live in theaters yet, it won’t stop RiffTrax Live!

Now for the details. How is this happening? It’s all made possible by our friends at Scener. They’ve crafted a Google Chrome extension which lets you watch Netflix (along with other streaming services) with your friends in perfect sync! So here’s all you’ll need to enjoy RiffTrax Live: Stranger Things:

The Scener Extension for Chrome.

A Netflix account

That’s it! Head on over to RiffTrax.com/scener to learn more, and to get a reminder before showtime.

This is gonna be a lot of fun! Stay safe, and we hope to see you in the (virtual) theater for RiffTrax Live: Stranger Things.

MIREST

This is the coolest. Y'all are the coolest.

Trish P.

It’s really awesome that you folks are making this available to us! Thank you!!!

Leslie Helwig

EEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm excite!

Jesse Shade

Thanks so much for this! And the best part is that this is the night right after Frank and Trace's GLEN OR GLENDA live show, so it's a win-win for all of us fans.

Rudy Alleyne

It's really cool that you guys are extending this courtesy to all of us, your fans.

Jenny Erdahl

Ok kinda confused do need both screener and nextflix? I tried installing the app on my iPad and couldn’t

Scott Meade

an entire bucket of awesome sauce.

Lilyth

I am going to cry. As an Australian I can FINALLY see a Rifftrax Live - live!!

Jayson Mondala

I saw the date and immediately thought this was being done in concurrence with rhe Virtual San Diego Comic Con (which Rifftrax has done live before). However it is not... would be cool (but is probably too late) to do some cross marketing on it!

Bill Lemmond

Darn. Of course it's not that simple. Scener is installed, but even though I access Netflix from the same computer, when I launched Scener, just to try it out, it opened a whole new Chrome window, and it wants me to "Start or join a theater." ??? There's a side panel, on the right, for video chat, I guess, but it's asking me to log in. "Create a theater" "OR" "Enter your theater code." ??? This was supposed to be a happy moment. I have no idea if this thing is going to work with Netflix, on the 22nd. :/

Brian Smith

Question: will this be a live version of the previously recorded Stranger Things Riff, or will this be an all new riffing?

Michael Almeida

Unfortunately, I don't have a PC at the moment. But I'm glad you guys are at least doing this, considering the circumstances. Can't wait for when I can watch RT at theaters again! :)

Chariti Messer

That was super fun! I’d be delighted to pitch in a full ticket price for a live show on here. Thanks for a super fun evening!

Wes Urschel

Despite the technical difficulties that was a lot of fun. I second Chariti, I'd be up for more of those any time. Thanks guys!

Kathryn Rice

This was a lot of fun, technical difficulties and all. If not for the technical difficulties, Mike wouldn't have taken it upon himself to find as many synonyms as possible to "Stranger Things," some of which made me giggle quite a bit (Stranger Fling being a stand-out). Great stuff, Mike!

genretastic

This was so much fun. Y'all handled the technical difficulties with grace, and honestly, it was kind of cathartic to see someone else struggling with teleconferencing software and be funny about it! Turned my day around.

Brian Smith

So - did it turn out this was new material, or was it mostly the "Just the Jokes" version?

Bill McClure

Tried watching with iPad. Haven’t had a PC in years. Could see a little. When the bugs are worked out it will be great

Kassandra Hope

This was amazing! It was probably even better BECAUSE of the technical difficulties and Mike's wonderful descent into madness. I would definitely be up for another go.

Leigh Legler

Is there a planned re-do? I only managed to see the beginning, when the technical problems were really bad. I had a lot of fun watching even that though! Just wondering if there's another shot planned.

Terri Lancaster

I agree with all above comments about how you all handled the technical glitches with good humor. It was still laugh-out-loud funny and I appreciate you guys for finding solutions to entertain your fans during this crazy pandemic. We're happy to be your screening test subjects. Thank you for all you do and keep up the great work!
